6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. The Claims of the Augrusta Cotton Mills for Dower Freight Rates to be Further Investigated—Eight Persona Have a Narrow Escape from Being Killed by Lightning at Augusta. oKonrsiA. Black rust on cotton is reported in many farms in .Stewart county. Robert Blakely entered a store on Capitol avenue, at Atlanta, Saturday and informed the proprietor that lie iuuUkilled an infant. He then disappeared. He said the child was his sister's awl lived two miles front the city. No murder has been reported, and the man was probably demented. The new bridge, just built last vear, on Turner's creek near Florence, has lieen car ried away by the high water. It seems to be an impossibility to get a bridge to stand long on that side, as the back water from the river always floats it off when there is a freshet sufficient to cause a rise in the river twenty or thirty feet. William Wiggins, of WigginsviUe. Schley county, has 180 pair of white rabbits, and his wife can call them up by the hundred. In a few months he will have them by the thousand, as they arc quite prolific. He will go into the white fur business, as soon as he has a good lot on hand, and make a fortune selling furs for cloak-linings, etc. He gets $2 50 a pair for them now. “Last Chance,” as it is familiarly called, was the scene of a row on Saturday. Mar tha Ward, a disreputable white woman, took to the warpath, and cursed anil abused, and snapped a pistol at Mrs. Jainas Adams. Warrants and counter warrants were sworn out by both parties and Justice Wallace gave the case a hearing Monday. Mrs. Adams was discharged and Martha Ward was bound over to the next term of the Superior Court in a bond of SSO. Avery dusky damsel walked leisurely into the post office at Dahlonega the other day and called for Porter Springs postal cards. The clerk informed her that he kept cards of all the other offices, but ho was just out of the Porter Springs variety. She walked out and came back in a short while to know if he had gotten any yet. He informed her that he had, and gave her a few of the reg ulation postal cards. She was much dis pleased, and said that she didn't believe these would do, as her husband used to have some with Porter Springs painted on them. Some uneasiness has been felt about, the Savannah. Florida and Western railway bridge at Albany since the river has been on its present tear. An old bridge, or some thing of the kind, came floating down the river and lodged against the middle pier of the trestle two or three days ago, and is there yet. The strain on this pier has had the effect of throwing the track a little out of line, but this lias been remedied, and Willis Moore, the Supervisor of that division of the road, who spent Saturday at Albany, says that there is not the least danger of the bridge giving way. The meeting of the rate committee of the Southern Railway and Steamship Associa tion at .Asheville on Aug. 8, 4 and 5 still leaves the matter of cotton goods in statu quo. The associated presidents of the Au gusta cotton mills, by petition, complained that under the present classification they could not comjieto with Northern manu facturers in Western fields. The |>etition was fully considered, and at the close of the session the matter, not having sufficient light on it, was left in the bauds of a special committee, when the claims of the cotton men will be investigated and, if based on substantial claims, lurther concessions will be made. Comptroller General Wright Saturday re ceived the annua) digests from the following counties: Lincoln county returns $(>62,(580, an increase of $5,020: Clayton county re turns #1,318,718, an increase of #22,553; Effingham county returns $938,582, an in crease. of $113,(53.). The total increase Sat urday was $141,307, which added to the $3,819,593 previously received, makes a grand increase up to date of $3.9(58.80). Only one county that has unusually large valuations has made returns so far, that be ing Chatham. When the returns from Ful ton, Richmond, Bibb, Muscogee, Floyd, Clerke and others arrive a large increase will be noted. A man by the name of Ovorby was arrested at Rom<\ Saturday, and lodged in the county jail on a charge of bigamy. About one year ago, Overby, who lives in Floyd county, near the Bartow line, was converted to the Mormon faith by one of the elders who travel through the country. Shortly afterward he courted and won a young woman of the neighborhood, and was married to her by the Mormon elder. It afterward leaked out that he had a wife and child in Tennessee, and soon as proof of this could be had, bis arrest followed. One of the strangest parts of the whole affair is that the discovery that he had two wives was made by the Mormon elder, and it was by bis instrumentality that tho arrest was made. Avis Langston, an 11-year-old negro girl, daughter of Dllsy Langston (colored) of Dahlonega, died last Friday of typus fever and wounds inflicted from a bursting cart ridge. It seems that where Dilsy lives there is a lot of negro children of all ages and sizes. About three weeks ago several of the children went out to the woodpile and picked up a basket of chips to throw on the lire. After tho children had put the chips on the Are they went outsid to play. Avis, being sick, remained by the lire place, shortly after an explosion was heard and on going inside Avis was found bleeding about the face. She said that something had exploded in the fire-place. It is thought a cartridge hail been accidentally thrown into the chip pile by some of the negroes, and that the children had picked it up and threw it on the fire with the chips, and it exploded, pieces of the shell striking her in the face. Dr. Jones probed the wounds, but could not And anything. Tuesday night eight persons were sitting in the parlor of D. A. Mayo’s residence at Americas. While they wore conversing a sudden stroke of lightning struck the house, demolishing a window frame of the room they were in, driving the broken glass, frame, curtain ana facing through tho room, extinguishing the lights *l*d knocking tho coin|>any to the floor.

Joseph A. Cobb, who was going into the gate of \V, 11. Speer's residence at the time, was picked up by the electricity and carried about sixty root and depositof on the veranda of the house, unhurt, but terribly frightened. Last Saturday a boy. apparently about. 19 yeain old, come to Dahlonefa barefooted and without a coat. He marched straight to Ordinary Williams' office and asked for a license to marry the daughter of a well-to do farmer in that county. The Ordinary asked him if the whs of nge. and if her ;at rents were willing. He said that she was ltt, nnd that the old man was willing, but he didn’t know about the old lady. Mr. William* doubted Ilia statement. beoau*e he knew the family and knew that the girl was very young. He told the young man if he would bring an order from the young lady's father lie would grunt him a license, ail’d besides that wish him good luck throughout his lite. The young fellow left, und in about two hours returned with the order, It is five union to the gentleman's house, and the Or dinary a gum doubted the t>oy. liecause be knew lie could not have walked five miles nud back again. So he refused the young man the license. It lias since been learned tliat the young man or someone else forged the name of tho parent to the order, and there is talk of having the young fellow Kl t.toJ lor forgery. FLORIDA The cost of the Welborno block at San ford is $89,000. Rev. John McKean, pastor of the Con gregational church at Interlaehen, died Sat urday. There will be held in Dade City in the early fall a Masonic gathering on a grand scaie, lusting several days. At a meeting of the trustees of the An thony graded school a few days ago. F’rof. John W.

Ail object of curiosity to tho average pe destrian on Bay street, Jacksonville, is “One of the Finest,” w’ho goes around armed with two chibs. He carries a 2t>-inoh locust in his belt, and in close proximity to this he has a shorter billy. The supposition is that when he makes an arrest (if such a contin gency should ever arise! he carries one for the accommodation of the other fellow, so that each will bo on an equal footing with the other. At Blnckwator, Judge John Chain, who died at his home in Milton, Fla., Thursday, was buried Friday by the Masonic order. Judge Chain was very old, but notwith standing his extreme agedie never used eye glasses, and walked erect and without a stick. He had fllhsl the < >ffico of Judge of Probate for a number of years.

Reports received from points on the Flint and Chattahoochee rivei-s ntiovo are not encouraging, anil it is feared there is a big rise to follow. The overflow is already a most disastrous one, as all the crops on the river lands, which were so promising a few days ago, nnd also a large number of stock are destroyed. The passage of trains over the railroad bridge at Chatta hoochee is suspended on account of an ac cumulation of drift timber against the piers, which may eventually sweep the bridge away. The mails and passengers for the West are transferred in small boats. Sheriff Holland lias received a long letter from some of the United States prisoners who were recently removed from tho county jail in Jacksonville to that in Monticello in pursue no' to orders from Washington, begging him to use liis influence to nave them transferred back to tho Duval county jail. The writer says that they have not had a square meal of palatable food since they have been there, that tho jail is not fit for beasts to live in, to say nothing of human beings, and that they are not even furnished with soap and water with which to bathe themselves when they desire to do so. They say that they are anxious to get back there, where they can get plenty of good substantia! food, good health, fresh water to drink and bathe in, and some fresh air to breathe. Walter Noble, a young colored man, was up in the city hall at Jacksonville Saturday to inform the authorities of the condition of an old and helpless white woman, living about two miles out on the road to Ever green Cemetery. He was passing her house when her feeble cries for help were heard by him, and upon going to the house lie dis covered this woman, Mrs. Triny, lying in a helpless condition. A son of about 25 years was lying in the room, entirely helpless from the effects of paralysis. Another woman was staying there, but, like tho other two, she was crippled, and unable to work. The room was in a very filthy con dition, from the fact that none of them were able to do the necessary cleaning. Mrs. Triav told hlni that all the food that they had bad in four days was some hominy which had boon given to them. Tho case being out of the jurisdiction of the city au thorities, lie was referred to Dr. A. W. Knight, of the County Health Board. Two of La Villa’s policemen are in trouble. Mayor Bowden has had reports for sotno time that members of his force were in the habit of deserting their posts every night anil going to houses occupied by fast women, and only coming out long enough to answer their hourly calls and going back again to the houses. He put spies on their tracks with orders to watoh them for three or four nights and report to him. Haturduy night he decided to take the matter in nls own hands. He made the tour of the beats and found Isaiah .Small, officer No. 1, and Roliert Johnson, officer No. 2, both colored, gone from their respective jvjsUt. By making a slight search he found them in a house of ill-fame. He demanded their clubs and badges, which was complied with by Small, but Johnson claimed that, he had lost his. Small is a hard case. He was up before tho police commissioners last week, charged with robbing a prisoner of 90c. The evi dence was convincing, but fur some reason lie was retained. James McGuire, who disappeared on Monday last frotn St. Augustine in a state of insanity, caused by excessive drinking, and whose clothing was found on tile rail road nine miles from Jacksonville, has been discovered. A colored woman by the name of Fanny Turner, who lives at Bowden, while driving cuttle home utdusk Saturday last, discovered McGuire in a nude state in the woods about three miles away from the railroad. She immediately went to tlie house of Anderson Arnold nud notified him of tho fact. Mr. Arnold called on F. R. Bowden, and, mounting their horses, the two went in search of the de mented unfortunate. They found McGuire crouching near the foot of a pine tree, en tirely naked. On being approached he seemed much frightened, but on boing as sured that he would not lie harmed lie be came calm. Mr. Arnold asked Mr. McGuire what he was doing, and he answered t hat he had got on a little spree and lost his way. He said that lie had not hail anything to eat in five days, and was trying to find the way to St, Augustine. If they would only |siiiit out the road to him lie would take it. Mr. Anderson took tho poor fellow home and provided him with loot! and raiment, anil sent him to St. Augustine Sunday on the first train.

From the Sue Fork Kuenina Sun. One night a fortnight ago a quiet, re served literary gentleman, who is the soul of dignity nnd who is not upon drinking terms with Bacchus, returned to his apart ments from a recept ion. The ball was dark and the door to hi* rooms seemed to have secreted itself somewhere efse About the premises than the place where it is accus tomed to hang out. The literary man reached for it, failed to find it. and then made a dash for the interior of iiis apart ments. The door had been lying in wait for him, and it came out to meet him with its sharpest comer. It struck him in the left ere, and at once the suburban territory of that organ became puffed up with resent ment at the door's interference. In the morning the literary man awoke to find that he had a very dark coniplexionod left eye. When ho went down to breakfast his fellow-boarders looked askance at him, and after the meal a fellow-txjarder who is an actor and was one of Mrs. Langtry's sup port, called him aside, assumed a look of ex asperating familiarity, and asked: “Did you have him arrested?” The literary man explained the cause of his dusky disfigurement, but the actor smiled in an incredulous manner nnd said: “Come up stairs and I’ll give you some face powder to put on your eye that 1 use in my make-up.” The surroundings of the eye were fres coed with powder until itassumed a ghastly look, and the literary mun concluded that a white eye was about as unattractive as a black one. He wont to his office, being careful to conceal his eye under the brim of a slouch hat. Humidity frotn without and perspiration from within conspired to re move the face powder, and it seemed to the sufferer as if the gaze of every man in New York was fastened on his brunette eye. He went to luncheon at the Astor House and one of the cashiers of that caravan sary said to him: “I hope you knocked him out.” The victim explained the situation, but the cashier smiled and said; ‘‘Same old story | They always lay it to the door.” A dozen times during the day the emi nently dignified literary man was insulted with the imputation that he was a liar In the meantime the eye had changed its com plexion from the color of anew stovepipe to a striking olive-green hue. The owner of the eye called on his druggist and begged him to offer some relief. The druggist took a large black damp worm known as a leech out of a white jar and turned him loose on the eye. The leech is a gore guzzler, and while lie reduces the swelling from a black eye, he doesn't take out the blackness. When the leech was removed the eye was found to be of the same ornate and attractive color as before. The victim went to the Morton House, anil Mr. James Collier suggested: “Go and get a stick of grease paint, such as actors use. Put that on your eye, ami it will look as good as new.” Tho victim went to a dealer in ready-made hair and cosmetics near the Rialto and purchased a 25c. stick of grease paint of a color to match his com plexion. On his way home to apply it he met another actor, who said: “Don’t put grease paint on your eye if you have had it leeched, it might poison it. There is a place over on Fourth avenue where you can have it pointed with harmless pigments.” The victim found the eye artist. Ho was tho first man encountered during the day who had not assumed a heartless, idiotic grin at the sight of the eye. He conducted iho victim to a seat, produced a marble palette daubed with oolors, took up some of them with a soft brush, and painted the stir rounding territory of the eye a lovely pink. Then he produced the glass, and tne vic tim said: “For pity’s sake, paint the other eye. It looks haggard and commonplace beside the one you have just ornamented.” The artist frescoed the other eye, the victim paid him 81 j and then walked away. As the paint dried ho felt as if his eyes had been glued into his head. This sensa tion was soon removed by perspiration and humidity. Home of the mint went with tho sensation. Little gullies were washed through the pigments, revealing the sub stratum of olive black beneath. In the evening the victim took his black eye to the Hoffman House. Col. Taylor, of Texas, and Dick Williams consoled hint and each offered a remedy. Col. Taylor in sisted that nothing will reduce a black eye to its normal condition so soon as to give it a beefsteak. Mr. Wiiliatm emphatically disagreed with Col. Taylor and recom mended that tho eye lie embalmed in a lnrge damp oygter. The victim, unable to decide which treat ment to adopt, went up to DelmonicD’s and consulted the dignified deportment tnnin taiuer, sometimes called a bouncer, who stands at the entrance to the place. He used to be nn athlete. He said: “Don’t put n beefstoak or an oyster on your eye. Both are cold and help congeal the blood. Bathe it in warm water.” Billy Edwards, master of ceremonies at the Hoffman House, was next consulted. He said that warm water was good, but Prof. Kean was better. The victim went over on Thirty-third street, climbed two Rights of narrow stairs, entered a neat apartment, and confronted the robust pro fessor, who talks with an English accent and seems to take a black eye as one of the bless ings of life. Ho used to be a trainer of prize fighters. He liado the victim fie down on a sofa in his office. Then he brought forth a recep tacle full of pieces of roots as large around as one’s wrist, The roots grow on marshy ground in England, and cannot he found here. The Smithsonian Institute was re cently asked to search for American speci mens of the growth, but it was impossible to unearth any. The Professor refused to give the name of the root. He scraped a liberal allowonce from a big root, and laid the pulp about the eve. It smarted some, and the victim lay flat on his back, feeling as if someone had hit him in the face with mashed potato. When the pulp had bran in place awhile it was removed and a fresh dose applied. As the victim lay on his back he con versed with the doctor, who said; “I can cure a black eve better when I begin treat ment say twelve hours after the accident than to take it at once. From three to five hours is the time required. When an eye is first hurt it becomes black, then olive col ored, and then yellow. The worst kind, nnd the hardest to cure, is a bloodshot eye. You would naturally think that colored persons couldn’t get black eyes, but such a online on them looks worse than It does on a white person. “It is another curious fact that, I treat more women than men. A poor woman, whose htisbund had Marked her eye and who Imd to go out to work to-morrow, was just here, and I treated her eye. A fashionably dressed woman, whose face was covered with bruises and scratches, was here tho other day. She implored me to make her look presentable, so that she could go to the races. I treated her face, and removed tho blackness and the disfigurement of the scratches. She was delighted, ami gave me $lO. I never treat an eye less than SB. I am called up at all hours of the night, and frequently have to go out. to attend patients. “The other day a young clerk, who works in a fashionable up-town dry goods store, called here with a terribly black eye. He hadn’t time to wait for treatment, and if he should apjienr nt the store with hi* dis figured face lm knew that ho would bo dis charged. Nothing remained but, to paint his eye. He looked all right, but when lie went to the store and liegan to perspire he was seized with n longing to wipe his fnco. He didn’t dare do it for fear he would re move the paint. He managed to get through the day in abject agony. Tneu he came here and hail his eye doctored with the rooot. "I sometimes treat red nose*, but a cure can only he effected by giving medicine to act upon the stomach as well as making out ward applications.” At this juncture the doctor removed the pulp from fils patient’s eve and triumphantly Iwle the victim look at "himself In the glass. The eye had a somewhat careworn expres sion, but it ho longer was luck. Tho vie- t’m paid his fee. went home, eluded the ob trusive door in his dark hall, and retired, thankful that one of the darkest qftperi enees in his lite was over. SEVENTY THREE YEARS AGO. Capt. Statham’3 Budget of Early His tory and a Sketch of Hie Life. Written for the A bbeville ( Go. l Times by J. E. B. Our hero was born in W ashington county, Georgia, in the year 1705. We will say nothing of hit life until 1814, at which time his father moved his family to Telfair coun ty, Georgia, near the Ocmulgee river in the Pondtown district. Being of an udventur ous disposition, and the Creek Indians being just across the river on the west side, he was soon afforded adventure and fun, as he often calls it, their depredations lieing quite significant, stealing, pilfering, carry ing off hogs, cow s anil occasionally a horse. No particular notice was taken of this until they killed old Mr. Burch and scalped hi* son, in the spring of 1818, when the white settlers became infuriated at the outrage and determined to hnvo some revenge, at least, if they could not rid themselves en tirely of the heartless savages. Ho the settlers resolved themselves inton company of soldiers under the command of Capt. John Wilcox, and on or about March 5, 1818, crossed tho placid waters of tho then unuavigablo Ocmulgee River in search of the mad red men, only leaving a few men to look after Sallie and the children. But their search was fruit less for some two or three (lavs. They had been about twelve miles frotn the river, scouring the country far and near for In dians, but no trail of them could be found until that eventful morning, March 9, 1818, when soon after leav ing camps and returning to the river to go home, they came upon about fifty or sev enty-live red-skins at. what is known as the Breakfast Branch. Two and one-half miles Southwest from Jordan Bluff and six miles from Abbeville is where the first Indian battle was fought, on the West side of the Ocmulgee river. They could have passed unmolested by them, hut w'anting some fun and revenge for their long hunt, and the loss of property and friends, they opened fire on them, causing considerable demorali zation among them. THE RESULT OF THE BATTLE. The firing commenced briskly nnd was kept up perhaps two or three hours. The whites that were killed were Mitchell Grif fin, Jake Nobles, Mike Burch, William Mooney and a Mr. Morrison, whose given name we have forgotten. The wounded were Mose Roundtree, John Lawson and Mark Wilcox. Ido not know bow many Indians were killed, but the chief, who was known as the Big Indian, was killed by the gallant Captain, John Wilcox, who always hit where he aimed, and our hero, who was considered the best marksman with the rifle in this coun try. They were both shooting at him from their shelter, and he was also trying to get a chance at them from behind a small pine tree. One being on the right and the other on the left of him, and knowing the skill of both men, imagine the size lie would like to have been just then. Uncle Nat being 70 or 80 yards, and Capt. John about 125 yards away, he naturally leaned too far toward the latter, and the keen report of" his rifle announced the Big Indian. He had re ceived the ball just above the left hip, which, ranging through the spine, killed him instantly. The other Indians fled the field at once, and the whites also picked up the wounded and crossed the river as soon as practicable for fear of Indian recruits. Uncle Nat be ing the ablest bodied man and most willing of any, placed young Mark Wilcox upon his back and carried him safely to the banks of the same smiling Ocmulgee, and all crossed safely, and found Sallie and the children all well. MADE FROM COAL TAR. Some of the Commercial Products from tho Commonest of Carbons. From the Pittsburfl Dispatch, “So you eat coal, do you?” said a smart high school girl, in Hagans a few nights ago, to the beardless young man with a high collar who was buying the ice cream. “Aw, eat coal? What do you mean, Miss Ethel?” replied the unsophisticated youth with astonishment. “Why, I see that you take vanilla flavor ing,” replied the high school girl with a smile. "Weally, Miss Ethel, I don’t aw, exactly understand you,” the young man with the high collar responded. “Why, vanilla flavoring is made almost entirely from coal tar,” said the smart high school girl, and she was just starting with “Why, we learned all that in our chemistry class last ” when tho fire bell commenced ringing, and she stopped for some reason or other, and nn inventory of all she knew was lost. The vanilla idea was a good one, and a reporter asked Dr. F. L. Hloeum, the chemist, aliout. it. “Is vanilla extract a product of coal tar?" said Dr. Slocum. “Why, of course it is, and a better article is furnished from coal tar than from the bean itself. Vanilla is made from tolulo, one of the products of coal tar. It is used for flavoring ice cream and confectionary, and is a chemically pure product, which vegetable vanilla extract is not “There are a good many products from coal that the majority of people know noth ing of,” continued Dr. Hloeum. "Their number will go into the thousands, and re search in this particular branch of inorganic chemistry is bringing new and rich rewards to scientists every year. One of the hydro earbous distinctly produced from coal tar is benzole. This is the base of magenta, red and blue coloring matters, and of the oil of bitter almonds. This oil formerly came en tirely from the vegetable product from which it takes its name; but now it is to a lurge extent made froni benzole, and a chemically pure product is secured. The vegetable oil of bitter almonds contains a certain amount of prussic acid, which Is a poisonous substance. “Toluene or tolulo is another product from coal tar, which is the base of a great many chemicals. Benzoic acid, which used to be made almost entirely from plants, is now readily made from toluene. Carbolic acid is another product of tolulo. The latter is a colorless fluid with a smell very much like crude petroleum, while carbolic acid and salicylic acid, two of its products, are far from being sweet smelling compounds. Yet this same tolulo is the basis of a num ber of very flagrant products. Winter green oil, much purer than from the plant, and generally preferred by confectioners and others woo use it, is one; oil of cinna mon, cinnamic add, oil of doves are among the middle products which aro ill great de mand.” As yet the products of coal tar have not been made use of for medicines to any great extent, except ns disinfectants, but, from experiments now going on. it is hoped to jiroduee pure quinine from chlnolene, one of the coal tar products, and scientists sav that, it is only a question of t ime when all alkaloids known, and probably others not now known, will be made from coal tar. It would take a good-sized book to even begin to give nn idea of the_ commercial liroducts alone of coal tar. Nearly every mown color, except cochineal, red and indi go blue, are made, and the latter was pro duced after nine rears of experiment by the eminent German scientist Byer, of Munich, lint tho manufacture was no expensive that it has never been done except for scientific pur|Kises. The logwood and madder dyes of our grandmothei s’ days are rarely seen in the market now, owing to the cheapness with which they are manufactured. Rod ink, which formerly was made almost ex clusively from carmine, is now made from eosine, one of tho numerous coal tar pro geny. * * * * _>\ll diseases of lower bowel, including pile tumors, radically cured.
