John Williams, one of Schley's most worthy citizens, is lying seriously ill at his residence with an aggravated case of cancer on one side of his face. After all the complaint, about the short ness of the cotton crop, it is certain that Brooks county will come to the front with her usual number of bales. Thei-c is some talk of the Board of Direc tors of the Macon Public Library and His torical Society' soon taking steps to com mence the erection of a handsome library building. A citizen of a neighlioring town went to Macon a short time since and concluded to “buck the tiger,” and “break the bank.” He lost $2,500 and a diamond ring between 9 and 12 o'clock in one night. Jeff Floyd, who is one jof the oldest men in Madison county, was crossing a creek on an old tree one day last week, with three watermelons in a sack, when his feet slipi>ed and he fell across the log, receiving injuries from which lie may never recover. Capt. John J. Seay, President of the White Star Steamboat line, has decided not to build a boat to take the place of the burned steamer Seay.

The boat for the Oostanaula will he built. Col. F. A. Bush, of Lumpkin, died at his home in that place Friday of typhoid fever. Mr. Bush was about .25 years of ago, and had long been a citizen of Lumpkin, where he was engaged in the practice of law. He leaves a wife and four or five small chil di •on, but they were not left un provided for, as. tiesides possessing a very' handsome property in Lumpkin, he carried a policy of $15,000 upon his life. One night last week the family of James O. Daniel, of Danielsvillc, was aroused by something falling down the stair stops, which, upon investigation, proved to he Edgar, their oldest son, who had arisen from bed while asleep, and, reaching the stair steps, plunged headlong from the top to the bottom. The fall did not wake him, nor did he awake until a physician was called to drees his face, which was terribly cut up. He also received several bruises on his arms and body. The mining business in the counties of Dawson and Lumpkin is on a big rise. Mining men from Alabama, Massachusetts and Georgia are investigating mines in the counties with the view of making invest ments there. The Castleberry mine is in fine operating condition. Work is prog reus ing well, and this mine pays very hand somely, although worked at present on a limited scale. The Three-John mine is said to be developing rapidly, and something seems to bo in store that will surprise the people. Rev. C. T. Clark, of the Methodist Epis copal church, has accepted a challenge male by the Baptist Reporter, of Excelsior, to any Btedo Baptist to “Drove that the com mand or commission to baptize provides for any other act than the immersion of a be liever in water.” And his letter of accept ance with the terms of discussion agreed upon appeared in the lust issue of that pajer. The opening chapters of the discussion will appear not later than Sept. 15 in parallel columns. The discussion will lie conducted in a candid, Christian spirit, and will doubt less be interesting. A short while ago a Macon gentleman was importuned by an insurance agent to insure his life for $5,000. The gentleman promised to insure, hut kept putting it off. Finally, he appointed a day for the agent to call at his offlec and draw up the |>olioy. The agent failed to keep his appointment by being summoned unexpectedly front the city. About two weeks elapsed, and the agent then called at ttie office of the gentle man one afternoon to fix the insurance patters. That night the gentleman was taken very sick, and soon died, before his policy was ever acted on by the company. A young negro by the name of Wayne en tered a store on Cotton avenue at. Americas Friday, and while engaged in making his purchases became very abusive ami insult ing in his language to one of the clerks, so much so that the latter very promptly knocked the offender down. When he arose be mode an effort to draw a pistol, but the clerk caught his wrist and pro vented his doing so until the negro reached the door, where he drew a Smith &, Wesson 38-calibre revolver. The clerks in the store then made a rush towards him, pelting him with rocks ns they ran him up the street. At the head of Cotton avenue he ran into the open arms of Chief of Police Lingo and was arrested. Two young white men, Himin kinli and John Terry were put in jail at Swainesboro Tuesday charged with simple larceny. They live in the Fifty-seventh District and were arrested, and after a preliminary trial on Tuesday, was Imiind over to Superior Court, and ut default of bail were sent to jail. Sev eral of the citizens swore out the warrant against them for sheen stealing From the evidence, it appears that there has been a big business (lone down there in the way of slaughtering sheep, as heads and hides could be found around in the woods; and the pros ecutors think the |>arties above named are the ones who did the slaying, while the young men say they will prove themsolves innocent. As the season draws to a close tho Le- Conte pears go to tho front. Reports to Thomasville front New York represent them as out-selling the famous Bartlett right along. Here at borne they are selling at from $1 50 to $2 per crate. Mr. Hobt. F. Whiddon shipped, some davs since, twenty five crates to Atlanta. They were con signed to Mr. J. M. Coletnau. The follow ing figures are taken front liis account of sales rendered to Mr. Whiddon: Two crate* at $2 50, two at $2 75, thirteen at $3, two at CB 25, two at $3 .V), three at $5 75, and one at $4. After deducting expenses, tho net proceeds were $53 48, making the crates average $2 14. Kberiff Dan Davis, of Webster county, arrested Jim Hardin, in that county, Hun day night, and turned him over to Sheriff Holder, of Stewart. lie was wanted in Lumpkin for stealing a horse and buggy some time last spring. It seoms that Hardin wanted to buy a pair of horses from n stableman, and proposed to take them, hut stated that he had no money, hut if the salesman would let him take the horses home, he would get the money and bring it to him. The stableman gave him a horse and buggy to go home and get the money for the pair of horses. Hnrdm left with the horse and buggy for that purpose, sold liotb. and kept clear of Lumpkin after ward. A young man in business in this city has nice not* egg in the shape off I.IW put away for a rainy flay, that ho received as his share of the profits arising from “staking” a gambler. The gambler arrived in Macon from New York dead broke. He borrowed several hundred dollars from the young man and entered a game of joker. His luck ran well, and ho won largely. The next morning ho returned the money he borrowed. The young man then suggested to the gambler that he take the money and play it for him, and divide profits if ho won. The gambler agreed, and as a result of the bargain, the young man received $l,lOO net as his share of the. winnings. The police got pretty hot on the traii of the gambler, and ho left for pastures new. Bob Coalson, a colored man living on Mitchell Jones’ plantation, about four miles from Valdosta, nad his house burned Satur day night, Aug. 13, and a little child, about H or 10 years old, perished in the flames. Bob and the balance of bis family burl gone off to a festival, and they left the child asleep in the house. Only a part of the skull of the child remained unbumed. Bob suspected a former wife of burning the house, and ho had her arrested, but as no evidence could be brought against her she was released. Bob has had bad luck with his children.

Sheriff Moore, of Emanuel county, had a warrant for a negro by the name of Sheely, who had tried to murder one of his own color with an ax in this county. Sheely left the county, with the Sheriff in hot pur suit, He followed him to Sandersvi lie and learned that he had gone on Into the upper part of Washington county, and he set out to find him. On Monday the Sheriff went to a big meeting, and after waiting till about 11 o’clock Sheely made hiaappearance, and the Sheriff walking up to him de manded his surrender, when the negro broke and ran, with the Sheriff af ter him, and shooting at him. The negro got away in a bay. The firing alarmed the negroes in the church, and they came out in crowds and asked the Sheriff to surren der, and made violent threats against him, hut the Sheriff presented his pistol and told them that he never surrendered. After a while he got away from the place. A large crowd of them followed him with sticks and clubs, and overtook him, and told him they had come to take him a prisoner any way. The Sheriff presented his pistol, and informed the leaders that if any of them advanced another step, there would be a coroner’s inquest to hold, and they wisely retreuted. Macon Evening News: An interesting business arbitration in this city has just been concluded. A well-known firm of brokers which we shall designate as No. 1, bought the business of another broker. No. 2, which in cluded all his Northern ami Western con nections. No. 1 prepared a circular setting forth these facts, and mailed it to the differ ent business firms with whom No. 2 had dealings. Incidentally, No. 2, who had sold out, mentioned the fact to a firm of brokers which shall be known as No. 8. No. 2 had a particular house among his connections that No. 3 desired very much to obtain, and im mediately telegraphed West to the house, stating that No. 2 had gone out of business and that they, No. 8, would be pleased to represent them, and if agreeable, to ware them quotations on a certain carload of goods. The West ern house accepted No. 3 as their Macon representatives, wired the desired quota tions and No. 3 sold the carload immedi ately. In due time the circular of No. 1 reached the Western house by mail, but, after the telegram of No. .3 was received and the Macon connection with them estab lished. They so telegraphed No. 1. When No. 1 received the telegram they became quite angry and a member of the firm wont to No. 2, and saw one of its members, and characterized their action ns unfair and un just, and indulged in considerable war talk, so I am informed, and stated that he de manded satisfaction, etc. The member of No. S, while not. wishing a diilicuity, plainly showed that he had the courage and will to maintain his rights as he conceived them Finally, it was agreed that the matter lie left to arbitration, and well-known mer chants were selected as arbiters, who de rided, I understand, that No. 8 hod a legal right to apply for the western connection though taking somewhat of an advantage of No. 1, by wiring for the connection when knowing that No. 1 had purchased the business of No. 2. All of the parties to the foregoing are well-known gentlemen of the city, and popular aud successful bro kers. FLORIDA. Orlando’s gas will be turned on Sept. 1. Cotton picking is going on briskly throughout Gadsden county. A number of tobacco buyers will soon be at Quincy to bid on this year’s crop. The Ocklockonee river is booming.

Risley, re ports hut three funerals in the last year, in a population of over 2,000. DeFuniak Springs Critic: Catch your gophers and be training them for the race to take place during the fair. Ransom Renfroo and W. B. Spencer claimed the first bounties in Walton county for catcm >mit sculps. They captured one each. There is some talk among those who were injured by lightning at DeFunlak Springs Inst Thursday of suing the Franklin Light ning rod Company for damages. At the Suwannee Hotel, at Collar Keys, ssl Mi in gold and notes belonging to Mrs. A. B. Wlieolock, was taken from a trunk last week, where it had lain secure for over two years. Cedar Keys' citizens canto forward lilier nlly to tho support of the new ice factory. The necessary stock has been subscribed and the ground and buildings secured. The fnc tory will he in operation iu six weeks. Hon. W. H. Noel, of Liberty county, has received S2S, IKK) m cash from the sale of his lands in that county. He sold these lands one year ago to a Northern land and luinlier eompatiy. Mr. Neel also received stock in the company to the amount of SIO, IKK). This is the largest land sale that has taken place in that section of the Htate for a long time. A meeting of the friends of prohibition was held at the town hall of Cedar Key Wednesday night.

A few days ago, he was passing among his cattle when he saw, as he thought, a splinter or a thorn, sticking in the side of a favorite cow; going to the animal he polled the thing from her side, and found it to be the needle he had last in May. Tho cow had undouhtadly swallowed the needle at that time, and the latter hail worked its way, point foremost, out between the two ribs, taking until this time to perform, the operation. The animal is doing well, SOUTH CAROLINA. A watermelon weighing 73 b( pounds was devoured at Columbia last week. At Ninety-six Ralf McGee was stabbed in the neck and killed by his son, Yancey Mc- Gee, Wednesday night on his way to church. There is a chalk lied on George Salley's place, on the line of the new railroad from Blackville. which is said to lie 32 feet deep and of the purest quality. When the rail load reaches it the bed will be developed by ample capital. The regular mooting of the State Board of Examiners will be held in the office of the Superintendent of Education at Columbia, at 11 o’clock, Sept. 7. Those intending to apply for State certificates of qualification should notify Supt. Rice before Sept. fi. Men are blasting the rock and laying the foundation for a mill .on Second Broad river, in Rutherford county, about tan miles east of Rutherford, and near the line of the two railroads. It is a fine water power, the river being about as large as raoolet at Clifton. It has been ascertained by actual calcula tion that, over $30,000 worth of improve ments have been made in Sumter since Jan. i up to the present time, and the indica tions are that twice that amount will be added to the material wealth of the city by tho end of the year. The following personal property has been returned to the Auditor for taxes in Marl boro county! 1,083 horses, 1,61 ti head of cat tle, 1,627 mules and asses, 332 sheep and gouts, 3,884 head of hogs, 304 gold and sil ver watches, 173 pianos and organs, 2.271 pleasure carriages, 702 dogs. Merchandise, $671,250. Arthur Gibbons, a colored man, was bit ten by a snake last Saturday night near the residence of R. H. Hurst, at Kingstree, who gave him whisky and other remedies, and killed a frog, cut it open and applied it to the wound. His foot and leg were badly swollen, but he is better. It is thought he was bitten by a moccasin. It lias been for some time past the opinion of a large number of people in Sumter that the water works question had died a natural death, but the prompt and decisive action of the Council last night in signing a con tract with Mr. W. A. Jeter, Presidentof the Jeter ife Boardman Gas and Water Associa tion, of Brunswick, Oa., has happily dissi pated all such impressions. At Spartanburg the building committee of the Presbyterian church have lot out the contract t or their new house to Eugene Tessler, a young mechanic. Work will lie commenced at an early day. The house is to be 52x100 feet, and will cost SB,OOO when finished. There will be an end gallery for the audience and an organ loft over the pulpit. Tho seating capacity will be about The corn in tho Savannah river swamp farms in Anderson county, is said to look as if n killing frost had passed over it, and cotton is in the some condition. The stench arising from the corn and other vegetable matter now undergoing fermentation and decomposition is said to bo terrible. The horrible smell is wafted a long distance, and fears are entertained that it may create sickness. At Union, Monday, Judge Wallace issued an order that Jones, the triple murderer of Edgefield county, should be admitted to bail upon filing a bond for SIO,OOO under the act of 1884, which allows bail in such cases to lie given without, leaving anything to the discretion of the Judge, except the amount of the bond. It is safe to sajtbat but for the aforesaid act of the Legislature the order would not have been granted. Chester, perhaps, can boast of the oldest person in the county, if not in the State. Sarah Ann Worthy, colored, now living in Chester, is 102 years old. She is the mother of eighteen children, sixteen sons and two daughters. The sons are all living. The old negress is in a good state of preservation for one of her years. She walked fifteen miles in one day a few weeks ago. She loves to talk of the olden times. She shook hands with President Monroe. Tho Gkivornor respited Caesar White, who was to have been hung in Walterboro on Friday. White was convicted last, winter of the murder of a jieddler for the purpose of robbery. He has been respited until Sept. 30. The attorneys did not apply for a respite until it was too late for the Governor to investigate the case lieforo the time of execution. This is the old trick, and has iieen successful several times. Unless the Governor is familiar witli t he circumstances of a case he will not risk a mistake when a respite is applied for at the last moment. At Greenville, Tuesday, an important civil ease was heard in the Federal Court. It was ail application by Moore A: Binott, Augusta, for a writ of mandamus against the Town Council of Edgefield to compel it to levy a tax to pay certain costs and interests upon the bonds of the Edgefield branch railroad, now held by the pet it ion ers, The amount involved is an original debt of $1,876 HO with interest from Jan. 1, 1884, upon couiions and annual installments Argument was heard from Col. R. W. Shand from petitioners, and front Maj. Ernest Gary for the Town Council. Judge Bimonton reserved his decision. According to the Marlboro’ Democrat , on Saturday afternoon last William Onealls, colored, one of John I). Hill’s farm hands, was drowned in Pee Dee river, at Hunt’s Bluff, uuder the following circumstances: He and his wife wanted to cross the river. The boat waa on the other side, and getting tired of waiting for someone to tiring it over lie start<>d to swim across for it. When about half way he got frightened and started hack, and getting weaker and weaker he finally sunk aud never rose again. The hands on tho plantations near by wen* sum moned by tho friends and several hundred crowded the hanks on Sunday, but uo trace of him could be found. J. M. Cox, of Atlanta, Inventor of tho automatic thresher and fire extinguisher, or gin attachment, gave public exhibitions of the workings of liis machine before the De partment of Agriculture at Columbia Tues day. The invention is simply a number of stiff brushes attached above the ribs of the gin and brushing tho upfier portion of tho saws. The inventor claims that it is impos sible for a spark of fire to pass his attach ment, and that any gin using it would he safe from fire, ami also that the lint is carded nnd cleaned of nil trash. Cotton saturated witli oil was put into tho gin and set on fire and every spark was extinguished. Sam ples of Hie same cotton were then ginned with and without the attachment and taken to a lending cotton buyer of Columbia by a gentleman who deals' with them, and who represented the sample* as coming from two bales. The cotton buyers offered 7),,c. for tliut sample ginned without the attachment, and 9c. for that ginned with the attach ment. Both samples were passed through tile same gin. A remarkable freak of lightning occurred on tho plantation of Mr. John Williams, about t wenty-throe mile* from Columbia a few days ago. Mr. Williams and his little child were in front of the house feeding some hogs, and Mrs. Williams, with two children, were in the piazza, when suddenly an immense ook, a few feet in front of ttie piazza, iilxiut five feet in diameter at. the nose, was riven from top to bottom by a stroke of lightning. Onc-lmlfof the tree was thrown on ttie corner of the piazza which sheltered Mrs. Williams, and the other half tumbled in the direction of Mr. Williams, who immediately clas|M>d his child and fell to the ground. Their lives were only saved by the liranches of the tree lie ing caught in another tree. The bolt was terrific. The ground was plowed up, the shingles were tvru off the house, aud vue Uuk of the tree broken into a thousand fragments and scat tered for fifty yards around. The only fa tality caused by the lightning was the sud den death of a mighty monarch of tie forest, a little pig and an unfortunate chicken. None of the parties was more than twenty feet from the tree which was up rooted. Tho checks on a New York house which fugitive Bartlett left to be given to the Sumter bank turn out to be worth $2,700. Henry Clews <& Cos. is the name of the bouse. The Chicago check has not yet been heard from. Tho $124 worth of Louisiana State Lottery tickets sent here to Bartlett on Monday were attached tins morning, together with the check for $l5O accompanying the same. Capt, N. E. Bunting, a conductor on the Coast Line midnight train, says that Bart lett was seen in Washington on Sunday night by R. J. Southall, nil attorney and detective for the Atlantic Coast Line. He says that Southall told him that he could easily have caught Bartlett had he known that he was wanted. This puts rather a new face on affairs. The opinion that he went to Mexico has been very generally ac cepted, but if he was in Washington on Sunday night this opinion must be errone ous. Bank Examiner Tate is hard at work on tho books, but cannot say yet how the investigation will result. He lias examined all tho notes, etc., in thohauk and finds that with what money was left the amount of assets will reach about $50,000. The deposits made amounted to about $61,000. The amount of the defalcation cannot yet be arrived at, but it will, it is feared, be larger than was at first supposed. Many responsi ble business men venture tho opinion that it will reach $60,000 or S7O,(XX). THE FIRST GUN OF THE WAR. An Interesting Incident -What Be came of the Whitworth Gun. The Augusta Gazette publishes the fol lowing in reference to the Whitworth gun presented by the late C. K. Prioleau to the State of South Carolina: “A few days before tho bomlmrdment of Fort Sumter in 1861—only two days, if our memory be correct —a sailing vessel entered the harbor under full sail and majestically passed the fort under a spanking breeze. On reaching the city stie was found to have on board a Whitworth rifled steeled gun, carrying a projectile weighing twelve pounds. Samples of those shells to the number of a dozen or more were part of the invoice. The latter were sent as models or ‘patterns,’ from which a limitless supply might have been cast, but the imminence of the attack on Sumter was such that there was no time for the work. “Accordingly the gun, on a low rosewood carriage, was by the readiest means con veyed to Cummings Point at night, and was erected to .the right of the celebrated iron battery of 3-inch Columbiads, and to the left of the three 10-inch mortars, which were concealed by a redan breastwork. A dsep-cut embrasure in this latter revealed the diminutive steel piece at daybreak on the historical morning, peering out upon tho angle of the grim fort in the bay where Capt. Doubleday was in command: From this gun the venerable Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia, fired tho first shot, at or near 7:30 a. m., which, after a shrieking and fero cious transit, struck Sumter on tho south easterly angle. “This little Whitworth was a present from Mr. Prioleau to the State of South Carolina, and this primitive discharge on the eventful morning signalized ‘the very first employment of rifled artillery in war in the history of the world.’ “It might be added that the limited am munition was divided at lone distances dur ing the progress of the bomba rdinent, aud that every shot struck Fort Sumter. The gun was afterward placed on a boot named the Lady Davis, and did effective work in harbor defence and fleet annoyance.” More Cruelty Alleged. The following letter, directed to Gov. Gor don, was received Friday: Bolton, Ga., Aug. 24, 1887. Honorable Gov. Gordon: We the undersign are compel! to inform you of the condition of the convicts in Cap tain A. J. Ivey’s camp on the Hawkinsville railroad. They are in the worse condition that ever convict could be. They are worked from the time the can see in the morning until dark, and then are taken into tho camp at night, and the guard that has them in charge brings the captain in and has just whoever he wants called out and whipped until he thinks it is enough, and when the principal keeper goes to the camp the men is afraid to make any statements to him because the captain says he will whip them to death as soon as you all go away. I know this to be so for we went down to his camp from the brick yard about two weeks ago and seen him do what we state here to you. I will give you a list of the guards that has the men whipiied and still maketheir boast thatassoonas they got from so near the city, back in the coun try, they will (lx them right. Their names are Mr. Wood, Mr. Jones, Mr. Goodw in, Mr. Frazier and the night guard, Dock Wagner, and Captain Jury is no better than they are. because In- obeys his guards instead of their obeying him. The principal keeper was down there a few days ago and some of the men spoke to him, and that night he whipped about twenty of them for it and said that if Mr. Schubreok wanted to keep him from it he would have to stay there in the camp. The men wants you to do something for them before they leave the city. They are at work near the East Tennessee and Geor gia railroad shops, and at the same time we would like to have a doctor at the Bolton camp, and oblige your humble and nhedlent Convicts. MEDICAL. MALARIA” “If people could only know w-hat a splen did medicine Simmons Liver Regulator is, there would be many a physician without a patient, and many an interminable doctor bill saved. I consider it infalliblo in mala rial infection. I had for many years been a perfect physical wreck from a combina tion of complaints, ail the outgrowth of malaria in my system, and even under the skillful hand of Dr. J. P. Jones, of this city, I had despaired of ever being a well woman again. Himmons Liver Regulator was rec ommended tome. I tried it; it helped me, and it is the only thing that ever did me any good.
