Complaints come in from all sections of the State that the peach trees are dying with the “yellows,” and many have lost their whole orchards. The leaves of the trees turn yellow, and they soon die. It is contagious’, and when it gets a hold in the orchards it generally kills a great part of the trees. Mr. Gantt, who has returned from a trip through Jackson county, says that crops are not near so good as expected. The high waters destroyed all the corn on the low lands, while only the early cron of cotton will mature. The prospect, however, is Very good, and the people appear in excel lent spirits. Bam Smith, of Jackson county, is hauling a great many Shockly apples to Athens, and say’s they are falling off the tree faster than he can haul them. Mr. Smith has a very large orchard, and says that if they continue to fall off, that in a few weeks there will not be an apple on his trees. He attributes it to the recent wet weather. Capt.

A wagon, bearing upon its bed ten bales of cotton and drawn by eight oxen, drove into Albany Thursday afternoon, and at tracted considerable attention. The driver sat perched upon one of the whoel yok“, and hurled his whoas and haws at Buck and Ball, and tapped other individual oxen of his team with his far reaching whip. Upon inquiry the team was found to be owned by Hon. P. AY Jones, of Baker county. Fort Valley Mirror: There is no use longer holding to the delusion that we are going to make a good cotton crop. It is going to be a very’ short one. Up to a month ago, it was the finest we had had for many years, but about two weeks of rain and a subsequent crop of caterpillars, boll worms, rust, blight and every other disease known, has ruined the prospect for any thing like an average crop. On Wednesday evening last, two negro men, Richard Richardson and Ahe Fore man, went in bathing in Turtle river, near Brunswick, at noon, when very warm. A. Foreman, who is a good swimmer, plunged into the water and rose to the surface, Tmt immediately sank to the bottom and did not rise again. It is supposed he was taken with the cramp. His body was at once se cured, but life was extinct. A small uegro on the farm of T. P. Hutch inson, near Chipley. was (toisoned through the ignorance of its mother Wednesday evening The physician had left some opiuhi powders to be the mother a few dnvs while she was sick, and, getting well before having taken all the powders, some were I ft.

The lessees in control of the camp of con victs on the Augusta and Chattanooga rail road. formerly managed by Bondurant & Joplin have appointed Dr. H. C.

Perry Home. .Journal: Wo saw last Sat urday a tin oil can that Mr. Calvin, of near Henderson, said had boon in regular use in his family for thirty years. He bought it directlv after he was married, and on last Saturday it was in Perry for the purpose of being filled with oil. Mr. Till also informed us that he has a lamp that has boon in reg ular use thirty yeaix, and that the wick now used in the lamp is the same that was pur chased in it. Walter Bell, of Texas, is visiting his am it, Mrs. Cowan, of Jefferson. Mr. Bell is*a native of that comity, having moved to Texas when a boy. While a very small boy living near Center, he fell in a well, and his mother at once began descending the rope, whicli broke, precipitating her into the water with her child. The bravo woman caught her son in her arms and held him out of the water for a long while until as sistance came. Two hundred and sixty-five bales of cot ton were brought In to Albany Thursday. Tlie ooni|nesM‘* will soon have all the cot ton they can mash. The Campbell press has already compressed several lots, and its yvarehotise presents a busy scene.

The whiskv tax in Greenville is $2,000 per year. Hence enough whisky must bo sold to bring a gain of $2,000 Iwfore a cent ot profit accrue*. At 10 per cent, it takes $20,00U to bring a profit of $2,000. There fore, $20,000 worth of whisky must be sold without a dollar's profit. Koch of the four dealers make at least SI,OOO a year profit. This requires a sale of $40,000. Add to this $20,000 and there is at the lowest calculu tion SOO,OOO worth of whisky sold in Green ville annually. The sales probably reach nearly $100,(100. A white woman, Mattie Cummings, ap peared bofore Justice M. B. Kvaus at Au gusta, Friday, and swore out a warrant for I/ouisu Devoe, another white woman, who had assaulted her and cut her In the face at Maj Branch's “Beulah" place, about three or four miles from the city, Thursday The cause of the bad feeling which Reuitad In the attack U not kuown, but Mattie says it was with the utmost difficulty that she escaped the vengeance of Louisa, who she claims was bent on and bad de clared her intention of < utting her throat, Jeff Mitchell, an old colored resident of Milledgeville, while in the bed Friday morn ing, discovered thnt the thigh bone of one leg was broken. He e&ilod in medical aid, and while the physicians hail him standing on his other log to enable them to arrange the splints of the broken limb, the weight of the body caused the bone of that leg to break between the knee and and ankle joint. This is undoubtedly a strango thing to peo ple generally, but the doctors say it is what they call nsteo sarcoma, a disen-e of the hone which causes it to waste away and lose its strength, when breaking of the limb necessarily ensues. A minister of the Pres byterian church in this State lost one of his arms in the same way within a year or two past. His arm was amputated, and he soon recovered his usual health. A rather curious case, and one which illus trates the negro’s idea of law, was heard by Justice Poe at Macon Friday. A woman namod Mary Williams separated from her husband, Curtis, and went to Savannah. Believing that separation was equivalent to a divorce, she married a man named How ard. After living in Savannah several months, she returned to Macon and sought her first husband. Prior to leaving Macon she Imught a suite of furniture, which she said was her daughter’s, and the bill was so made out. Soon after her return here bus band No. 1 died, and last June she followtd him. AVhen husband No. 2 heard of her death he came to Macon and took possession of the furniture, saying he was his wife’s heir. The daughter now comes forward and claims the furniture, not only as her mother’s heir but that the furniture was originally bought in her name and intended for her. A possessory warrant followed, and Friday Justice Poe gavo her the furni ture. Fort Gaines Star: Mr. Pugh Kirkland, who has been away some days visiting rela tives, has returned, and close* the season by the following snake story: It seems that he and others wore fishing when he discovered a very large water moccasin near by. Pro viding himself with a stick, he gave battle, and soon succeeded in annihilating his writhing antagonist. Conceive of his horror, Tiowever, when immediately another live amt well snake crawled from the mouth of the dead one and continued the fight. It in turn was finally dispatched, when behold another one, just, arise smaller, ajqieai’ed on the scene, and again the battle proceeded with fury. Having disposed oi this one, still another came to the front, which in turn was followed by others, until ho had slain fifteen or fifty-one, and we have for gotten which. But at any rate, they were still coming promptly to time as every round was called, when Pugh became ex hausted and throw up the sponge, and be took himself to flight. At Mcßean recently an aged negro couple, Simon and Amiky Norman, was attacked at their home during the night by four in toxicated men and treated in a shameful manner. A portion of the house and fence were torn down and the man, aged about SO years, driven into the swamp, several shots having been fired at him as he fled for his life. After fretting all night in the nun-assets, he crept back to his unpretentious domicile, expecting to find the bloody corpse of his dear old helpmeet; but in this ho was agreeably surprised. Though nearly fright ened to death, she was still alive The parties who committed these depredations are three white men, Charles and Brit .Smith, the other unknown, and Freeman Youuglood, a negro. The white men deny all connection with the affair, and say that it was Youngblood who did the damago and shooting. They were in the vicinity, but hail nothing to do with the trouble. Capt. Purcell has given the mat ter his earnest attention, and says the case will be placed before the grand jury. It is said the dynnns furnished old man Binion with nails and sufficient lumber to make all reimirs, but the matter was past redemp tion, and will be placed before the higher authorities immediately. The finding of the dead and mutilated body of IVimus Wright alongside the South Carolina railroad track, beyond Hamburg, is still fresh in the mind at Augusta. Considering the position of the remains and surrounding circumstance*. the great ma jority of people would conclude, as did the coroner’s jury, that, a locomotive pilot had done the fatal work. Very little faith was placed in this idea, however, by some of those who had heard the testimony, and then it became noised about that the man had been murdered and his body placed near the track, in order to bring about the supposition that his death hail Tieen caused by the train. It was also stated that an un known mulatto man, who had accom panied AVright down the track, had disappeared, and that the satch el AVright carried was not found with the remains. Again, those who knew were of the opinion that the wound on the deal man's head could hardly have been caused by the engine. The most startling part of th*‘ affair is a rumor heard on the streets Friday that several parties who had visited the fatal spot, with very little trouble discovered a tell-tale track of blood leading from the swmnp below to the place where the body was found. An effort was made to get positive information on the subject, but without success. FLORIDA. The order of the day in Columbia county is cotton picking.

Tbe grove was originally all orange, and though but five years old was budded three years ago with the Villa Franka lemon. Scattered over the whole extent are, however, a few solitary orange trees, and one solid grove of them, five acres in extent, soon to tie converted, tiy budding, into lemon stock. No less than fifteen acres will probably be added to the seventy anove named the coming season, anil, if arrangements can he made, twenty or thirty more. The product this season will be 500 crates nnd average from $5 to $8 per crate. The first monthly shipment was made the latter part of last week.

Hoyt, another prominent business man of that city’, Mr. Hoyt, the victim, was noted as the most peaceably disposed man in town, and the crime was entirely unprovoked. The cause oi the assault by’ Cook, as far as can lie learned, was on account of his being annoyed last night by- Mrs. Hoyt, who resides next to him, by her playing the piano to a late hour. There was but one shot fired, tile ball passing through Hoyt's left breast. There is much excitement among the citizens. The prisoner is safely lodged in jail, and no further trouble is ap firohended, although threats of lynching mve lieen made. Mrs. Cook, tho wife or the prisoner, is well advanced in a delicate condition, which adds to the sadness of the case, Mr. Hoyt was formerly of Jackson ville, where his aged mother now resides.

He leaves a wife, formerly a Miss Thomas, who lost a brother by killing at Titusville two years ago. Negro "Aunt” and “Uncle." h\om the Criffln (Go.) Sun. Editor* Constitution: Why is it that so many of tho respectable white people of this country claim blood affinity with the negro race by condescending to call them "aunt’’ and "uncle?" An “aunt” Is a fathor’s or mother's sister, an “uncle” is a father’s or mother's brother. Now, why should a negro lie made to believe thnt, he is a blood relation of white families by calling them “aunt" and “uncle," terms of the highest family respect? Is there any wonder that some negroes think they are as good as a whiteman, when they are called by these endearing names? The negro is an imitator of tlie white man, and if we are to keep the races apart, let no such example lie set for the negro’s imitation. Georgia. Oriffl ii, Aug. 23, 1887. All stuff and nonsense. The old "aunties" who nursed, and for that matter spanked, tlie white children “afore de wah” claim no kinship with the white people. All the grown up white people who remember the good old "auntie’' or tho accommodating “unde" still entertain a kindly feeling and respect for them. Tlie "uncles” and “aun ties"of the colored race are fast passing awn}-, and when they are gone much that was good of tlie negro race will be under ground. Costly Horses. Gov. (Jordon and his staff, nt. the military procession on the occasion of tho Constitu tional Centennial celebration in Philadelphia next month, w ill be expected to furnish their own steeds. The Adjutant General has been in eorres pondence with Philadelphia jwirties to en gage horses, and learned Tuesday that the twenty horses required will cost $l2O for the hour, which is $0 apiece.

DR. -WESTMORELAND'S REPORT. Tha Condition of tbe Whipped Man Described to the Governor. Dr. AA r . F. Westmoreland, the principal physician of tbe penitentiary, mate a writ ten report to the Governor Friday in regard to the rendition of the four men at Bing ham’s camp, who had been sp unmerci fully and inhumanly whipped bv C. C. Bingham, the superintendent and whipping lions. Dr. Westmoreland’s report was on file in the executive office, and it is given below in its entirety. Atlanta, Aug. 20, 18S7. To His Excellency, John B. Gordon: Sib—ln compliance with your order I visited, on yesterday, Aug. ‘25, the convict camp on the line of the Georgia Midland railroad, known as Bingliams camp, and carefully examined the convicts that had been so brutally whipped just one week be fore. I only saw four of the six that had been reported to you by the principal keeper ana assistant of the penitentiary, the other two, less severely whipped, was with the working squad, six or eight miles from the hospital The four that I found in the hos pital, ordered there the day before by the principal keeper of the penitentiary, were Hardy Mobley, William Slaughter, Cor nelius Fowler anil George Burney. Hardy Mobley I found very severely whipped, not only bad the skin lieen de nuded from both buttock to the extent of three inches or more in diameter, but on one side the contusion or bruising beneatl* tho skin was very severe as I found yesterday, a week after tbe whipping, the swelling and enduration the thickness of an inch and a half or more beneath the abraded skin. In addition he had other marks of the lash. AViliiam Slaughter had tbe same denuded point over the buttocks, more extensive per liajjg, but did not have the deep contusions or bruises as in the case of Mobley. He, like Mobley, had other points of abraded skin, perhaps more numerous than Mobley. The other two, Cornelius Fowler and George Burney, did loot have abrasions of the skin from the la-ili to the extent of the other two, but sufficiently extensive and severe to demonstrate that they had received an unmerciful whipping. Respectfully sub mitted, W. F. AYKSTMORELAND, Principal Physician to Penitentiary. Tho four convicts who were so inhuman ly punished received the immerciful chas tisement on a Friday night, and notwith standing the pain and exhaustion that nat urally followed upon such an outrage, they were nevertheless put to work, and were found at work when the penitentiary offi cers visited the camp Wednesday evening. Tbe sufferings of the poor wretches must have tieen intense, ,as their bruises, contu sions and cuts were enough to send an ordi nary man to bed for some days. LEMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lemon Drink.
