list. After knocking and stamping all the
cotton down in a half acre patch, his wife ap

Some time ago the Union Lind and Oil
Company of Macon was (firmed and pur
chased a tract of land In Kern county, Cal.,
twenty-one miles long by three in width,
containing about 45,000 acres. Lust spring
James 11. Campbell paid a visit to the prop
erty and was much pleased with the pros
pect, In the valleys he found excellent
grazing lands, and on the mountain slopes
lie found signs of oil and rich mineral de
posits. A day or two ago the company re
ceived notice from the manager of
the oil wells that he struck a fine
flow of forty barrels per day. He
desired to go deeper so as to strike a bigger
stream, but was compelled to drive down a
strong force pump so as to get the oil under
control liefore he could continue boring.
The, stockholders of the company feel highly
elated, arid the prospects are that Macon
will develop half a dozen “Coal Oil John
nios” before Christmas. Another property
at Coalman, Ala., in which Mr. Campbell
is interested, promises to pan out quite as
well. Natural gas has been discovered
there, and the owners of the property are
very hopeful of a fortune in it.

county last Sunday and Monday that liter
ally swept everything before it. The water
courses in the county reached a height of 5

Every bridge in the county has been swept
away and all the mill-dams so far as heard
from. M. V. Day’s and J. 8. Pulliam's
mills on Beaverdam creek wore washed
away. The loss to the county in bridges
alone will probably reach All the
crops on the water courses that were left by
the former overflow are totally ruined.
Cotton on t he uplands has been damaged by
the continued wet weather. At least 15 per
cent, of the corn is also damaged, large
quantities of it being on the ground. The

There are ten washouts on the Elber
tou railroad in fifty miles. No trains

tial bridges at the most important crossing
points on the larger streams in the county,
and will begin work at once as communica
tion is cut off in every direction.
Americus Recorder: Quite a number of
farmer* of Sumter and adjoining counties
have, during the pust two years, devoted
considerable attention to stock raising, with
most gratifying success. The result is that
home-raised horses and mules are fast be
coming numerous, and hundreds and thou
sands of dollars that heretofore went to
Tennessee and Kentucky every year for the
purchase of animals, is now being saved to
the farmers of this section. It is esti
mated that a horse or mule can be raised in
this section for less than f (0, and at three
years old sells readily for from $135 to $2OO,
owing to size and blood. Among those in
this immediate vicinity who have given at
tention to this lucrative business are Capt.
John A. Cobb, Capt. C. W. Felder and Al
bert Brady, each of whom liuve n large
number of colts anil brood mares, and who
propose to enter extensively into the busi
ness, Capt, Cobb, having al
ready some twelve or fifteen colts,
of flue pedigree which he values highly.
Mr, Brady has raised several beautiful
horses on his farm near Americus, and
would have no difficulty in disposing of
them ut figures ranging from $335 to $BOO.
Why all farmers in this section do not raise
their own hoi-sos is u mystery to us, for at
such figures as those given above there is u
fortune in <he business as compared to cot
ton raising, and the trouble and ex|>ense
attached to it unmunts to almost nothing as
compared to farming.
James I). Mound Is the general store
keeper and ganger who has charge of the
bonded warehouses of those grain distilleries
which are suspended. Monday afternoon
he left Atlanta for Hoy, in Gilmer county,
tor the purpose of withdrawing two pack
ages of liquor from the distillery of I. I).
Kdmuudson, who lives a few miles from
Roy. Sheriff M. Cox, of Gilmer, and
Deputy Collet -tor Anderson accompanied
Storekeeper Matind. Having performed
their several missions they were about to
start back. Kdmundson, Sr., talked to
them in a friendly way, and just before
they took their departure told them that ho
cotlld show them n much bettor road than
the one by which they hail come. He
pointed out the way and went with them a
short distance. Then lie left them and the
three horsemen wooded their way merrily.
About a mile from the warehouse they oamo
to Tlckanetaly river, a small stream, which
they forded. Sheriff Cox and Sir. Mauud
were a few yards in advance of Mr. Alex
nnder. The two former had crossed tjio
stream and the latter was nearly across and
was letting his hoi-se drink. He was startled
by a pistol shot. It was exceedingly dark
niirt ho could not see the prison that fired.
Whoever he was must have been hidden in
the bushes only a few yards off. for the
Hash blinded Mr. Alexander, so close was
the weapon to bis head when it was fired.
“What's tliatf” cried Sheriff Cox and Officer
M nund in one voice. The only answer they
got was three more shots hi quick stnxos
slon. By this time the trio hail come to
gether on the opposite side of the river,
’l'hoy <x>uld not see who was doing
the shooting, so they started to ride
off slowly, keeping thoir eyes skinned
all the time. They hud not proceeded twenty
yards when a t'usilade was fired in upon
them from two side*. They drew their pis
tols and returned the fire, but their shots
were ineffective because they could not see
the men at whom they were firing. Mr.
Maund was a little distance from his com
panions when a man jumped from out the
woods and leveled a riffle at him. The
would-he murderer was not more than fifty
feet off. He pointed thegun at the officer
and nulled the trigger. Tnere was a blind

from hi* head and his horse plunged madly.
The miscreant that fired the gun fled back
into safe cover. It was thought that Maund
was shot, hut ha soon allayed these fears.
Jumping from his horse, he picked up his
hat, which contained a bullet hole. Had
the bullet gone half an inch lower it might
have killed Maund. The band of murderers
kept up firing all the while, and it is regard
ed as little less than a miracle that the
three men escaped with their lives. The
only reason that they were not killed was
because their assassins could not see them,
owing to the darkness, Finally the shoot
ing ceased, and the officers rode away as
rapidly as they could, considering the rough
road and the extreme darkness. After
going some distance they found it impos
sible to proceed further in the road A large
tree lav across the road, and there was a
deep ifitch on either side. The men ex
amined the place and came to the conclu
sion that it was designed as a death trap.
Then they understood how it was that they
had been directed to follow this route.
They firmly believe that their enemies
meant to allure them to this place and then
kill them. The two men blame old Mr.
Edmundson. They say that had they not
started for home much sooner than the
moonshiners expected, they would certainly
have been killed.

at present, namely Cerro Gordo: situated
several miles from the railway, and reached
by a road which in wot weather is impassa
ble; destitute of hotels or any sort of ac
commodations, a site marked by the destruc
tion of five court houses already, the work
of incendiarism, it is truly an uninviting
spot. The Bonifay Land Company has

cure an iron fire-proof safe in which to keep

sworn, says thnt on the day of July, A.
D. 1887, and thence continuously from said
day until the day of the making of
this affidavit, in the county and
State aforesaid, one J. H. Alien, a
man, and one Powers, a woman,
the said J. H. Allen and the said Pow
ers, not being then and tnero married to
each other, did lewdly and lasciviously
associate and oohabit together to the
groat and common nuisance of all
the people, against the form of the statute
in such case made and provided ami against
tlie pence and dignity of the State of Flori
da. J. L. Brvan. Sworn to and subscribed
before me Aug. 4, 1887. T. W. Shine. J. P.
At 9 o’clock Friday morning Justice
Shine’s office was crowded with spec
tators to see what wa going on. Maj.
Allen and his attorney, A. J. Rose, were on
hand, and the trial liegan. The defendant
asked for a change of venue, which was re
fused, as the defendant refused to give any
reasons for the request. Tho defendant
then made a motion to quash the indict
ment as no county was specified in the war
rant. This was granted nnd anew warrant
was issued. Allen was re-arrested, but the
indictment was again quashed as no date
was specified upon which the alleged
offences were committed. This was done
at the request of the prosecuting attorney,
Judge Mershon. The case was then post
poned under anew w riant until Wednes
day of this week, but as Allen was absent at
that time it was postponed until yester
day.
More Side Tracks Than Main Line.
From the Chicago Journal.
“It is a fact not generally known,” re
marked n railway official at the Pacific,
“that Illinois can boast of a uoveltv in tlie
shape of a railroad which has no duplicate
in the United Status.” “ What's t’latf" asked
n listener. “A road whose stock is held by
tho original incorporator* f" “Nothing of
tlie kind,” replied the first speaker. “The
novelty is a railroad whose side tracks are
nine or ten times greater in length than the
main line." “ Where is such a road!” “The
Peoria and Pekin Union. It runs from
Peoria to Pekin, a distance of fourteen
miles. That is the main line. Being a belt
road, caring lor tho care of the several
roads running into Peoria and transferring
the cais from one road to another, it lms
many miles of side tracks—over 100, 1 be
lieve. This accounts for the peculiarity of a
raod having more inilei of side tracks than
it has in its main lino.”
Imitators and Impostors.
The unequalled success of Ai.lcock’s
Porous Plasters ns an external remedy
has stimulated unscrupulous parties to put
forth imitations, which they endeavor to
sell on the reputation of Adcock's. It is nn
alisurditv to siienk of them in the name
category ns the genuine and original porou.
plaster. Their pretensions arc unfounded,
their vaunted merit unsupported liy facts,
their alleged superiority to or equality with
Allcock’s a false preteiiso.
The ablest, mtxiical practitioners and
chemists and thousands of grateful patients
unite in declaring Allcock’k Poroub
Plasters the best external remedy known.
