Milledgeville Chronicle: A few mornings
ago Mr Edward Carrington's attention was
attracted to a noise in the yard among the
poultry. He s's.-n discovered with the goose
.i tall white bird. Being alarmed, the bird
flew in a trie near the feme, from which it
was shot in the nstk and killed It proved
to be a eraue of the order grullm. It meas
ured four and a half feet from tip to tip of
wingx.nnd three feet,twenty-two inches,from
the tip of bill to end of tail. It was the
prettiest specimen of that bird we ever saw.
and we have seat thousands of every vari
ety of tlie order. XX’*- thought it might
have been a pot of someone, and was on a
tour of pleasure, hut it had no tags on it or
other mark of personal ownership. It was
doubtless on its way to a cooler climate than
the marshes of the sea-coast, as these birds
an* known to leave the low land in summer
to cool o!T in the atmosphere of higher lati
tudes. Tliis was too pretty a bird to die.
Sunday morning the colored church, on

XX'nilt- the services were- going on a terrific
st mu sprang up, the rain fell in torrents,
mid tin- livid and frequent flashes of light
ning. followed by the loud detonations
of thunder, much alarmed tho con
gregation. Munv of them were
almost panic-stricken, and attempted
to rush out of the building into tho blind
mg storm, preferring to risk the danger of
the elements rather than the interior of tho
house. About 3-M0 o’clock, when the storm
lial spent it* fury, u mule was discovered
lying dead by the side of a tree to which it
had lieen tied. No marks were found lijmn
it, and it was conclud'd that it was shocked
by lightning. It was the property of a ne
gro woman living about five miles above the
church.
Lafayette Mrxaenger: “You can't kill a
mule." This saying was demonstrated al
most to a mathematical certainty near
Center's shop no day last week. A colored
Imy was plowing “goobers" for Mr. Center.
Lb rile corner of tlie goober patch was an
old well at least MU feet ik-ep covered with
briais. In turning the mule slipped in and
went to tho bottom. He took Ins position
in a sitting posture and was the unwilling
“monarch of all he surveyed’’until his ex
cited owner summoned a posse to liis aid
A rope was tied around the body of the
mule, and he was drawn to the top of the
Well. The rojie broke and tho mule again
went to the other end of the well. A second
attempt was successful The mule was
safely landed on the outside of the well, and
contrary to the expectation of his rescuers,
leaped to his feet, and without giving the
slightest expression of gratitude, com
menced feeding on grass us though nothing

An attempt was made Thursday morning
to wreck the passenger train on the eastern
extension of the A. r and L., railroad duo
at Americus at Hsio o’clock. The train was
proceeding toward Americus at a lively rute,
mid ns it rounded a curve out on the Bazley
place, two miles from town. Engineer Kir
ven saw tint olistructiou aliead
and brought the train to a stop
almost instantly. On investigation it
was discovered that some rtend
hml rolled a heavy log upon the rails and
had also piled a lot of stumps, roots, rails,
etc., beside it, mukinjj it a formidable affair
'for nn engine to strike ugainst. The ob
struction wns placed at a point where the
road runs through a deep cut, and had the
keen eye of the engineer not detected
' it, a serious catastrophe would have
certainly resulted A close search
revealed the tracks of a man and
small boy leading away from (he place, and
it is evident that tlii'se two, whoever they
may lie, either placed the obstruction there
or else knew of irs presence. This is the
third attempt that has been inado to wreck
n train at this place, and the authorities of
the rood will nmke every effort to hunt out
tlie guilty parties.

Anew feature has developed in tho case
of Mrs. Runs, an Italian woman who wus
arrested at Jacksonville several days ago at
the instanctvof a colored man, with whom
she had some trouble about the sale of a
fruit stand. Tho woman went to Mayor
Burbridge Thursday, and in tlie course of
conversation, stated that on last Monday
when Constable Stephens came to arrest her
he told her if she would give him $3 50 he
would see that she came out all right, and
also that she got the fruit stand back again.
Mile says she only had $3, but that
she gave that to him and prom
ised to get the balance. This slio
did by borrowing $3 from Joseph Daiunto,
an Italian tailor. Slio says she paid him
tho $1 50, and that when they got to the
court Constable Stephens gave half the lat
ter sum to the Magist ral*-. Tliis was all be
fore the trial of the case, and before ho had
any right by law to collect anything from
her. From Ihe woman’s statement of the
case Mayor Burbridge says it looks very
much like a case of blackmail, ami that lie
intends to investigate it further, and, if lie
flails it to be true, to prosecute the consta
ble. Mrs. Rails states that Constable Ste
phens knew she had the three small chil
dren, one an iufant, notwithstanding his
statement to the contrary. She says he
was frequent ly at tho house and played
with the children. She also suvs that Jus
tice Bedford knew of the children, us Con
stable Stephens told him. This is
corroborated by a young mail who was
present. They both say that, when she
nsked to have her children with her in prison
that the magistrate in n cruel manner told
her to let her children stay home und take
cam of themselves; that, if she took them to
jail they would be sent to the poor house.
One of these children was a nursiug infant
only six weeks old. Mrs. Ruas left it to go
down to the court-room with her husband,
expecting to lie gone not more than an hour;
ami she state 1 to Mayor Burliridge that she
explained this as well as she oou id, and
bogged to have the babe with her when she
was taken to jail. 1 lor request was i efused,
and when, about twelve hours afterwards,
the infant w as looked up by humane people,
it was nearly dead of starvation und neglect,
and ha<l to be carefully watched all night in
order to save its life, the mother in the
meantime lying in Jail.
History of the Cotton Plant.
Prof. J. S. Xeicmnn, Altiltnma, in Ihr Auterirun
AijriruUurint.
The cotton plant is a child of the sun. Its
nniurnl habitation is in tin* tropical regions
of Asia, Africa and America, hut it lias
ins'll acclimated and successfully cultivated
as far north as tho thirty-sixth degree of
north latitude. Itsniltivationcovcrsa very

Hemisphere the range of its cultivation ex

the i'ape of Good Hope on the south. In
tiic Western Hemisphere front Virginia to
Bout hern Brazil. It Ims been most success
fullv cultivated, however, between tho thir
ti"tliand thirty fifth degree north latitude.
Huiutmldt found it growing in Hie Andes,
at nil elevation of nine thoii-tmd feet, and
in M 'xleoat live thousand five hundred fivt.
Boyle ie|sirts it cultivatisl at till elevation
of four thou and feet in the Himalaya.
Much elevations, however, are not favorable
to its best and velopment. Metallically, cot

Tlie Barbadense is successfully and profit
ably grown only under the influence of salt

the sea, whence its name sea island cotton.
On account of its silky fineness and length

fies its cultivation, notwithstanding flic fact
that it produces not more titan half theyield
of lint obtained from the upland or hirbo

commercial supply for the spindles and looms
of the world.
The history of tlie cotton plant antedates
in its beginnings the commercial annals of
the human family. India seems to have
been the most ancient cotton growing coun
try. For live centuries K-lore the Christian
era her inhabitants were clothed In cotton
goods of domestic manufacture from the
fibre grown upon her own soil by lier own
crude methods. It is said that “more than
two thousand years Maori- Europe or Eng
land had conceived the idea of applying
modern industry to the manufacture of cot
ton, India bad matured n system of hand
spinning, weaving and dyeing which, dur
ing that vast period, received no recorded
improvement. The people, though remark
able for their intelligence whilst Europe was
in a state of barbarism, made n<> approxi
mation to the mechanical operations of mod
ern times, nor was the cultivation of cotton
either improved or considerably extended ”
Notwithstanding the proximity of China
to India, it was not until the eleventh cen
tury that the cotton plant became an object
of common culture in China. The first
mention made of cotton in tho records was
two hundred years before the Christian era.
From that, time down to tho seventh cen
tury it is mentiouei not as an object of in
dustry, hut one of interest and curiosity;
an - ircu; nnt of the flower garden, the beauty
of its flowers being celebrated in poetry, it
is recorded in tlieir annals asn circumstance
worthy of note, that the Emp -ror Ou-ti had
a robe of cotton when he ascended tlie throne
ill 503. In the eleventh century field culture
of cotton commenced in China, but owing
to the opposition of the people, especiilly
those engaged in growing ami manufactur
ing wool and flax, it was not until 1808 that
tin-cultivation and manufacture of cotton
were well established.
Central and South America, and tlie West
Indies, grew and manufactured cotton long
before their discovery by Columbus, who
found the plant under cultivation, and tho
people using fabrics made from the staple
At the conquest of Mexico by Cortes. in
1519, he found that the clothing of the Mex
icans consisted principally of cotton goods:
the natives o£ Yucatan presented him with
cotton garments and Goths for coverings
for his huts, while Montezuma presented
him with “curtains, coverlets and relies of
cotton, fine as silk, of rich and various
dyes, interwoven with feather work, that
rivaled tho delicacy of painting." The plant
was successfully cultivated in Peru in the
time of the Incas. in 1583. Specimens were
also found in the ancient Peruvian tombs
and taken to England at an early date for
exhibition.
Egypt seems not to have either cultivated
cotton or used its fabrics at a very early
date, since the cloths in which tho mummies
were enveloped were of flix instead of cot
ton. Indeed it appears that those nations
which were early celebrated for their manu
facture of fine linen were slow to substitute
the cott >n for the flax.
Herodotus mentions cotton fabrics 450 B.
C., ands leaks of tre*-s in India “bearing as
their fiui il -eees more de icite and beauti
ful than those of sheep.” Tlie cotton fabrics
of tho Hindoos have been excelled in firm
ness and exc -ileiicp only by tlie productions
of the most perfect machines of modern
times. The city of Calicut, on th© western
coast, gave its name to the fabric known ns
calico. Tayernice describes some of their
goods as “so fine that you i-ou’d hardly feel
them ill your hand, end tlie thread, when
spun, is hardly discernible.’
The famous muslins of Dacca have been,
on account, of thoir fineness, designated as
“wel>s of woven wind.” It is said that mus
lins made in Bengal are so line that “when
spread upon the grass and covered with dow
they are not disrerniblo.”
- Spain was first of the European States to
grow cotton. It wan introduced hero by the
Moors in the tenth cciitm v. Tho first cot
ton wns planted in the 1 1 luted States in hi'.'i.
“Carroll's Historical Collections of South
Carolina” mention the growth of the cotton
plant in that province in RitSb. In 173d it
was plant' and in gardens in Talbot county,
Md., latitude thirty-nine north. At the
commencement of tho revolutionary war
Gen. Dtdagall was said to have had thirty
acres planted in cotton near Savannah, Ga.
It is stated that in 1748, among the exports
of Charleston, S. C., were seven liogs of
cotton wool, valued at. three pounds eleven
shillings amt five piuiee a bag. Another
small shipment wns made in 1754, and in
1770 three more, amounting to ten liales.
In 17S-1 eight bales shipped to England were
seized on the ground tliat so much cotton
could not be produced in tho Uni tel States.
The first sea island cotton was grown on
the ooast of Georgia in 17iSG, and its export
ation commenced in 17S, by Alexander
Missel, of St. Simons Island. In 17111 the
cotton crop of the United States was two
million pounds, of which three-fourths was
grown in South Carolina and one-fourth in
Georgia. Ten years l iter, ISOI, forty-eight
million islands were produced—twenty
million jssunds of which was exported.
The United Stub's have long since ox
eelled all other countries in the quantity
and quality of the cotton produced. India
ranks next, in importance in its supply of
cotton,to th l ' United States, hut its fibre is
far inferior to the American. The other
cotton producing countries worthy of men
tion mo the Earl Indies, Egypt, Brazil, tho
West Indies and Guinea.
For weak lungs, spitting of blood, weak
stomach, night sweats, anil the early stages
of con sumption, “Golden Medical Discov
ery” is specific. By druggists.
