6 GEORGIA _A_ND FLORIDA. KJEW3 OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Two Black Brothers Who Have Lived 106 and 116 Years Respectively A Child Choked to Death by a Pea at Smithville - Bull Bata Destructive to Cotton. GEORGIA. On the Altamaba the rice crops are being harvested as fast as possible. Alfred Smith (colons!), who lulled Joseph Allen (colored), at Darien a few days ago, has been held without bail to uwait trial. The owners of the oil mill property at Waynesboro have decided that it was to their interest not to run the mill tiiis season. H. W. Dews, of Newman, says that bull bats are destructive of cotton. He says a field of cotton in bis neighborhood, belong ing to Mr. Joe Dent, was completely devas tated by bats three or four years ago. Walt Rowland, of Americas, found an egg Friday with n long tail to it. The tail curled back and joined the shell, after run ning out two inches. Howland says his hens are fancy and fastidious and lie thinks the eggs will prove it. At Smithville Jack Mann’s little child was choked to death last Wednesday. The mother was shelling peas and the child swallowed one, which lodged in its wind pipe. The mother seeing it was choking picked it up and ran to Dr. Saunders’ house, which is several hundred yards away, but •when she arrived at the Doctor's the child was dead. J. E. Billups, of Worth county, lost his Sn-house by fire Friday afternoon, Mr. illups estimates his loss at from $2,000 to $2,500. The building was a first-rate one, and cost between $1,200 and $1,500 without the machinery. About six bales of cotton and between 1,000 and 1,200 bushels of cot ton seed went with the building and ma chinery. There was no insurance on the property. J. P. Robinson, of the firm of Crow <fc Robinson, returned to Rockmart last Friday to Hamlet-, from his recent trip. He paid off the bauds at the ore mines anil his ac count with Greater & Burgdorf at forty five cents on the dollar. The lime quarry men were not paid off by him and grum bled considerably. The men at work at the quarry quit work last Friday and refused to work any longer unless they were paid off' About 6,000,000 feet of square and scab timber was measured at the public boom, at Darien, during the month ending Aug. 81, 1887. This does not, of course, include the several millions of feet that passed by going to St. Simons, and the large quantity of sawn timber which came down from the up-coun try mills. At the present time there is quite a large stock of timber at some or the booms around the city. The timber in spectors and measurers will break up their pooling arrangement on Jan. 1, 1888. After that day every man will be for himself. A farmer living out a mile from Arneri cus planted a few acres of old worn out gray land in melons this year. He worked the vines once or twice, just enough to keep down the grass and weeds, the total cost of planting and cultivating not exceeding $lO. From this patch of melons ho has realized SB9O cash, which came in ut a time when money was scarce and hard to get. He has forty-five acres planted in cotton, from which he will get twenty bales, but he says that the melon patch will net him five times the profit that the cotton will, although the latter was carefully worked and at compara tively small cost. Mis# McArthur, of Eastman, was thrown from a buggy Friday and instantly killed. Mr. Pierson, her escort, was dangerously in jured. Miss McArthur, who was a niece of Mr. McArthur, of the lx‘gislature, was en gaged to be married to Mr. Pierson, and their wedding was to take place at the resi dence of Tap Holt, in Macon, within a few days. The young man’s father, who is quite wealthy, hail built the young couple an ele gant residence and furnished it with every modern convenience that would add to their comfort. They started Friday morning to drive to their new home in a buggy, and on *be way the horse ran away. Miss. McAr thur was thrown out aud instantly killed, and Mr. Pierson’s shoulder was dislocated. Near Athens, on a beautiful and com manding site, stands what is commonly known in that section as the Rock College. It is the property of the State University, and was formerly used as a high school for boys preparatory to entering the collegiate course. Years'ago the high school was abolished, the building being used subse quently as the home of the professor of agriculture. Surrounding and belonging to the Rock College are about sixty acres of good land. It is here thnt the present ex perimental farm of Georgia is located. It is proposed that the trustees of the univer sity, for valuable consideration, turn over this property to the State of Georgia, to become the proposed home of Confederate veterans, reserving some twenty acres for the experimental farm. Robert Ilardrove, black and muscular, was arrested at Macon Saturday night anil locked up for engaging in a fight and creat ing a considerable disturbance. He was placed in a cell at the police barracks, where he remained the sole occupant all day Sunday. Sunday night about 8 o’clock Officer Abel, seeing the form of a man dart suspiciously away from the window of a cell, looked in and discovered that two of the iron burs had been removed from the transom over the door loading into the hall way. An investigation was then made by Officer Abel and Officer McCalferty, who was doing duty as watchman at the time, and it was discovered that Hargrove hail torn up the floor of the roll, and with one of the boards had so bent the iron bare that it was left an easy matter to take them out. They had beeu literally toru out of their sockets. Griffin was visited last week by Harrison Clarke, an aged negro who had boen up there to see his brother, Hardy Jordan, who lives just below the earelied in that city. Har rison Clarke is a pretty good age himself, being 106 years old, but his brother is 116 and unable to lie about. Harrison was on his way home to M uscogee county, Edwards district, and may have reached there if his large, sore feet have not prevented. He as the slave of Josiah Jordan, of Mon roe county, and was at one time at Louisville, when he saw Gen. Wash ington. who came to the then State capital •oon after the war for independence. He saw something -of war himself as a drum mer boy during the Florida Indian war, though a fourth Indian by birth. Before emancipation lie was the overseer aud valet of his master. He can pick 150 pounds of cotton a day on an average, old as he is, and is a champion wreatlcr. his favorite trick being the “Flying Sallie.” Although au anti-Prohibitionisl in principle, he never toon a drink; neither did he ever take a chew of tobacco or a bath. He lias had seven wives and thirty-three children, in cluding six lots of twins. The State Anatomical Board has filed the bonds required by law, and is ready to re ceive the bodies which the law (rives them. So far they have received no bodies because the officers throughout the State, into whose hands the bodies would naturally come, have not received official notification of the passage of the act. It became necessary to have certified copies of tbtfact printed and sent out. They were mailed on last Wed nesday to all tne Oironers ajid juilers of the HtaU', < 'hiefs of police of the cities, to the superintendent* of the poor farms and to the superintendents of all the convict cani|)s. Prof. K. W. Mcßne, secretary of the board, who has charge of tlic distribution of bodies, lias prpfmred a book iu which will be rag in bred the name, age, sex, complexion, civic condition, place of birth, retddenea at time oi death, dute and cause of death, physician In ‘barge, date received for distribution, * r “* Uu; date of delivery to autiionzctl car ** r “he carrier will take a duplicate re .

Chattooga Sews: John Taylor, the negro who, it was alleged, had confessed to the outrage on Miss Kendrick in Chattooga, in a long Tetter to the Chattooga Autos, denies that he ever made any confession and says that all there is in it is that two peniten tiary convicts were bribed to swear that lie had made a confession. He says further: It has gone out to the world through muny of the leading [lapfers of the country that I have confessed my guilt of the mime for which Henry Rope is under sentence of death in Chattooga county. I desiro on the one hand to contradict the statements about my .alleged confessions, and upon the other hand to warn all men to beware of the man who bus manufactured and circulated these calumniations: the man who has suborned false witnesses to swear my life away; the man who brought me all the way from the State of Kentucky, knowing that I was not the man for whom the warrant was taken out and for whom the Governor’s requisition was issued. I have been advertised to the people of Georgia as “Pope’s savior.” It lias been given out that I nave confessed and that the crime is fixed without any doubt upon me, yet, despite all these evidences of mv guilt, Miss Kendrick has unhesitatingly declared that 1 uni “not the man;” despite all t.hisar ray of facts and circumstances on the part of the State I have been released from jail by order of Hon. 11. M. W. Glcnu, the at torney for the State. FLORIDA. Another brick block has just been con tracted for at Orlando. Comptroller General Barnes was quite ill during lost week, but Is much better. The corner-stone of the new (’atholic church building at Gainesville was laid Sun day. Not a colored man in Maelenny precinct voted for selling liquor in Baker county. This speaks well for the race. The wreckers interested in the English steamer recently ashore on the reef near Key West received S4O to the share. J. R. Ergood, of Winter Park, is to move the Ergood block south, next to the build ing now occupied by the post office, and proposes to build on the balauce of his prop erty at that place. At Orlando C. A. Davis has sold his in terest in the business of Davis, Fish & Cos. to C. B. Davis, his partner, and left, over the Tampa, Orlando and Apopka railroad, for his old home in Paua, IU. Some of the factories at Key West were obliged to suspend work last week on ac count of the scarcity of wrappers. As it is. however, the demand for cigars is good, and work in a few weeks will be brisk. It is rumored that no bridge will tie con structed across the St. John’s river by the St. John’s ami Halifax Railroad Company. It is said that the trouble has lieeu caused by the belief on the part of the Jackson ville, Tampa and Key West railway that there is a collusion between the St. John’s and Halifax people with the St. Augustine road. It is also said that Mr. U. J. White has gone, or is going, North to see about the matter. The real estate dealers of Orlando held a preliminary meeting Saturday for the pur pose of organizing a real estate association. The meeting was very harmonious and re sulted in a determination to have another meeting on Tuesduy, Sept. 13, at which all licensed real estate men of the country are to be invited to take part. The object of the association is for mutual protection and to devise ways and means to bring tourists and investors into the State. A firebrand has already appeared among the doctors assembled at Washington in the person of Dr. Weighinorel, of Tampa, Fla. It is alleged he is a quack and does not ad here strictly to the recognized code of medi cal ethics, especially as to advertising. When lie applied to be registered as a mem bar of the congress, Dr. Toner, of the regis tration committee, made inquiries as to his standing in Tampa, aud received several protests against his admittance. Two famous swords wore unsheathed at the recent encampment. One, carried by Captain Balientine, of the Fernandiua Vol unteers, Is of Confederate form, having been carried by that popular officer through the late period of unpleasantness. The sec ond is sacred in the eyes of all true Florida sons. It is a handsome dress sword, which was carried by Captain C. 8. Fleming, of the Second Florida Infantry, who was wounded at the liattle of Williamsburg, May 5, 1862. This sword was left with a lady of Williamsburg, who took care of Captuiu Fleming until he recovered. Gap tain Fleming was killed at Cold Harbor, in front of Richmond, June 3, 1804. This sword is now worn by his brother, Captain F. P. Fleming, of iheM. L. I. The crew of a freight train on the Florida Railway aud Navigation reported, at Jack sonville, Sunday, a queer experience on their trip from Cedar Keys. In coming through a swamp beyond Gainesville, some cattle got on the track, thus causing the train to run very slowly. Duriug the time that they were going so slowly a bear from the adjoining woods decided to make un ex ploring expedition. Now, one of the cars of this same train was a ventilated car, aud upon this particular trip the car contained some fish. The bear had evidently smelled the tiih from afar, and decided to make a closer examination. It jumjied into the car, the door having been left open, and was discovered just as he, she, or it, was finish ing the repast. The doors were imme diately closed and the trainmen were con gratulating themselves on the capture, when, lo and behold! Bruin bent the iron rods of the skeleton door, escaped from his temporary prison and was soon lost to sight in the woods. Counsel for Mrs. D. F. Sullivan are seek ing to restrain the operations of the Sulli van Timlier Company on lands belonging to the Sullivan estate near Pensacola, and have uiready tiled a bill praying an injunc tion to that effect. If the suit be taken to the Court of Chancery tho effort upon the business of the port will bo damaging, for the sus|iension or operations looking to an extensive enlargement of tho company's business at this point will prove a serious drawback to the prosjierity of the city. The company had in contemplation, for early execution, the building of two new mills at or near the city, the operations of which, with their output, would tend ma terially to swell the volume of Pensacola’s timber and lumber shipments, not to speak of the work they would furnish for a large numlier of men. In addition to this, plans had been perfected for the establishment of a marine railway just across the bay, at Sullivan town, an enterprise Pensacola lias long stood in need of. Pensacola Commercial: The readers of the Commercial will remember a special dispatch to this ]iai>er from Warrington, Sept. 1, announcing the finding of a cap sized boat, with all sail set, which had drifted ashore on Santa Rosa Island, and the additional information that the I tout had been identified as one last scon in which were a man and a boy. Just previous to that date there registered at the City Hotel, in this city, J. I'. Smith ami sou. The lat ter. a boy, was frequently heard importun ing Ids fat lief* to take him out sailing, nnd the father was heard to remark that on the morrow (Sept. 1) he would comply with the boy’s oft expressed wish. The two hud no Itaggage, their efft**ts consisting of two package*-, and, on the morning of Sept. 1, they took the packagi** ami left the hotel. It now remains to Is* ascertained whether they were hotel beat*, as they left unpaid bills for board ami lodging, or that they were the unfortunate occupant- of the bant. Pensacola < 'omuierciat: Saturday morn ing about '£ o'clock, Chief of Police Roberts, who was in hod at his residence <m the Hast Hili, was awakened by Jimmie Martin, a no torious character hereabouts, wlio w* very drunk, and who begun telling the Chief, in a mysterious way, that he "did not drown that man.” He continued in a rambling, incoherent manner, and the same m y-le nous air, a story to the *-ffc t D.al l. had been hired by a genUvuiau to git a tae THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER , !SS7. latter a passage to the Navy Yard—-he em -1 ployed a sailor, who has since been seen, j to assist him in managing the boat, and | tho party set sail. They hail a jug ]of whisky, arid arriving at Warring j ton, procured more of the stuff. As well as ! the thread of the narrative could be straigbt i cued by the Chief, the party then started to | return, aud, en route to tho city, the tmat | capsized. Martin took hold of the painter ami washed ashore with the lioat, and i knew not what had lieoouie of the pasaen | ger or his shipmate. Friday morning Mur- J tin was drunk and treating people general ly at different drinking places, so a reporter is informed by a jiolioi* officer, and seemed to be pretty well supplied with money, being lavish in bis expenditure. He is notinabu.si ness from which he derives profits that would enable him to bo so open-hauded, and tho fact is only mentioned en passant. The mat ter might stand a little Investigation. Both | Martin and his shipmate could lie brought I before the County Solicitor and made to re count their experience, if only to get at the particulars of the catastrophe, by which a man lost his life. Who the ill-fated passen ger was remains a mystery. A gentleman of DeFuniak Springs is suid to lie missing, but those who gave this information to the reporter know not even his name, saying they heard thnt the missing man’s father keeps a livery stable at Marianna SOUTHERN LUMBER LANDS. The Wasteful Policy That is Destroy ing a Principal Source of Wealth. From the Pensacola (Fla.) Advance-Gazette. We print to-day a series of clippings re ferring to tho rapidly increasing demand and purchase of Southern timber lands, in large and small bodies. It is hardly credit able that lands are sold by the thousands of acres for the petty sum of $1 and $1 25 per acre, when many an acre contains from twenty to fifty trees, worth from $4 to $lO each, yet such is the case; our people simply have no idea of the value of their possessions, and in many instances have literally thrown away fortunes and received noth ing in return. Forests have been denuded and enormous rafts of logs have boen floated to market and sold lor prices which barely covered the cost of the labor, leaving ac tually nothing in the hands of the owner for the valuable timber taken from his laud, and it is high tune for our people to call a halt, or at least to refuse to sell unless they can get something like an approximate value for their property, for it is now evi dent that tho South, and the South alone, must furnish the timber supply. We remember well witbin the last ten years, when the “black walnut craze” stripped the forests of Tennessee and Ken tucky of their richest treasures in timber, when speculators bought walnut stunipage at $1 a tree, and many of the trees were worth from $25 to SSO each, some of them more; these men see their folly now, for though they retained their lands and other valuable growth on them, they allowed others to take the oreafn of their possessions. Our people have being doing worse, they have parted with their possessions for a mere song and see others growing rich while they are in no wise benefited; we hope they will take warning and get a fair equivalent for their property. TWO DOLLARS A SECOND. The Rate at Which the Public Debt is Being Decreased. Correspondence of the. Missouri Republican. Few persons, perhaps, who read the fre quently published reports of the fiscal opera tions of the government give any considera tion to the vastness and significance of these operations. We read of the hundreds of millions of gold and silver in the treasury at Washington, but how few persons have any intelligent idea of what is embraced in the nine figures required to describe liabili ties and assets of the government, dt is only when the auriferous contents of the trea sury vaults are weighed and measured and placed by the side of articles and commodi ties that are daily handle 1 by the masses that an intelligent corn prehension can be obtained by the people of the financial strength of the treasury and the great extent of the go verument’s fiscal oper ations. By reference to the latest published state ment of treasury assets and liabilities it is learned that among the assets was $281,096, 417 in gold and nearly $250,000,000 in silver, including $34,000,000 of trade dollars and fractional coin. Taking up this $281,000,000 of gold and placing it on scales I find that the gold held bv the treasury weighed 518 tons, anil if packed into ordinary carts, one ton to each cart, it would make a procession two miles long, allowing twenty feet of space for the movement of each horse and cart. The weighing of the silvor produces much more interesting results. Running this over the scales I find its weight to be 7,396 tons. Measuring it in carte, as in the case of the gold, the silver now held bv the treasury would require the services of 7,396 horses and carts to transport, it, and would make a procession over twenty-one miles in length. The surplus about which so much is said in the daily newspapers amounts to nearly $47,000,0(11, an increase of $5,000,000 since July 1. Counted as gold this surplus would weigh 86), tons. Counted as sliver it would weigh 1,385 tons. Each million of gold adds 8,685 pounds to tho surplus and each million of silver raidssß,Ußo piumls. Apply ing cubic measurement, to the treasury gold and silver and piling the two metals on Pennsylvania avenue as cord-wood is piled before delivery to the purchaser, the gold would measure 87 curds and the silver 490 cords, and both would extend from the treasury dejiartment to Four-and-a-hnlf street, or from the treasury to the pension office in a straight line, and forming a solid wall eight feet high and four feet broad. Extending these calculations and compari sons to the interest-lxxiring debt, equally in teresting results are obtained. The public debt reached the highest jioint in August, 1865—just twenty-two years ago—when it was $,381,530,295. The genera! reader will better ajmreciate the vastness of this sum when informed that it represents 70.166 tons of silver, which would make a nrocession of carts that would exted from Richmand.Va., to a jioint twelve miles north of Philadel phia, the distance it would thus cover being 206 miles. The interest bearing debt is now (not including the Pacific raflroail bonds) $1,001,976,850, showing that the sum paid has lieeu $1,379,553,545. or more than half of the total amount, and representing 40,637 tons of silver dollars, which would extend 154 miles if packed in carts containing 1 ton each. Reducing these figure* to a baste where they may tie intelligently romprebendml, and that the rapidity with which the gov ernment has reduced its bonded debt may lie fully realized by the general reader, 1 find that the reduction bo been al the aver age rule of $62,706,675 each year, $5,235,581 each month, $174,186 each day, $7,218 each hour, and 8120 47 for every minute of the entire 22 year*. Puismlng the calculation to the smallest divisible space of time, the bonded debt of the United States has been dicreasmi at the rate of $2 07 for everv second. <>r for every swing of the pendulum, for the en tire jieriod from Aug. 31, 1865 to July 31, 1887.

A Good Story of Life Years Age on the Hawaiian Islands. From the JjonisviUe Courier-Journal. Surf-tioaril riding was the national sjwrt of the islands from time immemorial up to forty years ago. but it is now dying out and Is seldom seen unless an exhibition is gotten up for tourists, but even then it is not to be compared to that of olden times. The idea was to launch through the surf a board from 20 to 40 feet in length, 2 feet in with in the middle narrowing toward the ends to a width of 12 or 15 inches, 2 or 8 in ches in thickness, and made of light wood, sometimes of solid pieces, but more often of a number of smaller ones ingeniously joineil together. Once clear of the breakers the rider would paddle out to sea with his hands and feet, nothing else being used, watch his chance, drive the board on the face or crest of a tremendous sea, and while aj>proaching the lieach with a velocity but little less than that of an express train, stand upon it and go through a gymnastic jierformanoe that would have put to shame any at tempt made in that line, even in our host circuses. Not only would its direction toward shore tie controlled, but it would be made to fly up and down the face of the breaker in a direction jmrailrl to the shore line; a false move at any moment would have thrown board and rider into the curler with but lit tle chance for his life. It was continued until the sea broke, when the board would lie shot ahead and landed high and dry ujioii the beach. At times there would be hun dreds of men, women and children in the water, all on the go, rushing here and there, stopping from one .sea until carried along by the next, now on the board, again off and swimming, taking every position imagina ble on the board, but rarely if ever meeting with any serious mishaji, for they were all amphibious. Once a year the natives col lected in succession on the different islands of the group and a tournament would take place bet ween the best riders, the prizes consisting of food, war impie inents and the grandest of all. an area of land and being elevated to the position of chief. This was the prize offered by the King himself at the last of the tournament, the coinjietitors being the two men who had been selected from the most expert riders duriug the preceding days. In this bout the sole object was to kill, drown, or dis lodge the opponent from bis board by ram ming with the ends, as no paddle or weapon of any kind could be used. On this day every one kdio could come would line the beach, gathered together by tribes or in groups? from their own islands. All were armed and ready to enforce fair play, for there were rules to regulate this as well as we have our own for a like purpose in all sjiorts. Often there were 50,000 or 60,000 warriors alone, and on this occasion, which was sjxiken of particularly, there were fully 75,000 witnesses who were capable of hear ing arms. When all was ready the riders made their appearance; the first from the Island of Kauii, with a light, corkwood board fully 35 feet in length, as light aud springy as a bow, beautifully decorated, and as finely proportioned as one could wish. Blit to the surprise and disgust of every one his op ponent from Oahu apjieared with a clumsy, ill-jxirportioned, heavy ironwood board scarcely 20 feet in length, hut with ends sharpened like a knife edge. His tribe could hardly be prevented from killing him out right, for what chance had he, a young man of eighteen seminars, with such a short, heavy board, against a man of 35 who had been tho victor in every contest in which ha had taken part, and who had implicit confidence in him. But the King insisted on the sjjort going on, so eventually the boards were launched, and long before the Ouhuian had cleared the line of breakers to seaward, the Kauiiun hud reached the open sea and was giving an exhibition of his prowess. One of the rule? governing the sport was that either could start in shore on the face of any breaker, but it would not be A until his opponent had started on the name sea'. It had necessarily to be mutual; either could make as many attempts as he saw fit to draw the other on, and this was continued for an hour or two, each struggling for any advantage in jinsitiou, but once started to gether there was no retracting : it had to be continued to the beach; if neither was suc cessful in dislodging or wounding the other, the whole was repeated until one had been declared the victor. At last the start was made. Nowall were wildly excited; men and women were rushing here and there, talking anil gesticulating; the tribes lined the very water’s edge: some, in their en thusiasm, even entered the water, but were compelled to leave, this Ijoiiig against the law. The Kauiian warriors, knowing that their representative would be successful in the contest, mid fearing the vengeance of theOnhuiuns in consequence, were formed in line of battle with their weajxms ready for instant use; tho others soon followed the same tactics, but wpre more on the defensive, being greatly inferior in num bers. The riders reached the first line of the breakers, where the Kauiian, with, his light board, was the observed of all observers, not only from the admirable way in which he handled his board, but irom his wonder ful gymnastics while whirling along at such a rajiid gait. TheOahuian, on the contrary, seemed to be making heavy weather, and it was apparent to all that the Kauiian was getting closer to the shore liefore dislodging his opjionent, for he had made several feints, but drew off at the last moment each time, when any one of them must have been suc cessful had he continued. And now they are within a few hundred yards of the lieach. Every mouth is yell ing, each trying to give mstrui*tions to his champion, force is being used to keep the most persistent ones from rushing into the sea, the Kauiian has ranged within a few yards of the other for a final plunge; and now seemed his chance, for the Oahuian’s inlaid turned; he is making an effort to keep his balance, when to the surprise of all, in the wild rush thnt foliowel he not only tnissed his opjionent, but the light board shot entirely over the heavy one, which in some mysterious way dipjieil lieneath the surface at just thoprojjcr moment. Now was the Oahuiau’s chance. They nm almost on shore, and flying with that frightful velo city with which a sea rolls on a gradually shoaling beach, both jierched on the crest, of a breaker 15 feet in height, when the Oahuian, to the surprise of all, shot his board with the speed of an arrow, and be fore the Kauiian could recover he was struck with tile sharp end of the heavy lioard under the arm, entirely severing that member from the body, amt entering the face under the jaw it ranged half way through the head, and, with the dead body still fast on his board, the young Oahuian landed without a mratoh In the midst'of his own tribe. So short, so wonderfully quick, and in such a masterly way had the feat been accomplished that, neither anger nor revenge asserted them seven among the Kuuiians. and all joined in giving praise to the youthful victor.
