About 1 o’clock Sunday morning Oliver Granger, colored, who was employed on Mr. lieiehburg’s turpentine farm near Milltown, was shot in his house, by some unknown party. The wound was supposed to he fatal. Granger and another negro had a difficult/, in the early pa.** of the night, and it is thought this negro did the shooting. Some time since a boy of Hmithville was seized with the desire to eat h a buzzard. His parents missed him for the space of a day. and becoming alarmed went in search of him. They found bin. in an old field lying on the gras* *< pn.ving “dead. ’He said he was doing it '** oo the buzzards so they -would come near enough for him to catch them James G. Fitzpatrick, of Terrell county, a war-scarred veteran of the Twenty-seventh Georgia regiment, has a deck of raids which be bought in Richmond, Ya., in 1663, and with which the “boys" whiled many happy hours away, which otherwise would have been weary-hours. The cards are in a good state of preservation, not having been used since the war. Collector J. E. Dart visited Darien last week for the purpose of making a change in the inspectorship at Doboy. This position for a number of years hats been filled bv strangers, but Mr. Dart, realizing that it would be only just to have a Darien man fill it, has concluded to do so. Capt. Isaac H. Aiken, a young man of sterling quali ties, has, it is rumored, been selected by Mr. Dart. At Snake Shoal, just about Eufanla, the steamers Nuiu-1 and Thronatecaka had con siderable trouble in passing Friday. Both steamers had to use ropes and pulleys, and after two hours' hard work they succeeded in passing over the heavy sand bar at that jxnnt. The Naiad also had trouble in liais ing over a liar lielow Fort Gaines. It is probable that the steamers cannot navigate the river until there is rain. It is said that Representative R. B. Rus sell has promised certain anti-prohibitionists in Athens to introduce a bill in the Legisla ture amending the prohibition act under ■which Clarke county went dry, so as to allow a vote on the liquor question again, on a petition lieing signed by 100 respecta ble voters and sent to liim. It is thought, however, that there will not lie time enough to advertise the act and get it through be fore the Legislature adjourns. There seems to lie no doubt that the cot ton crop of Putnam county is cut off to Borne considerable extent. Unto the time of the floods crops of corn and cotton were splendid, but the rains destroyed a large quantity of corn and injured ' the cotton. Sine* that time ooltou has been further in jured by heat anil by the September weather. However, the county is in a pretty good fix, notwithstanding the crops are not as good a* they promised to be. Lee and John Bond, two brothers, living near Woodlawn, had a difficulty Thursday about a bridle. Lee knocked John down witii a fenoe rail, whereupon the latter stablied the former in the abdomen, inflict iug two severe wounds, and also cut a lengthy gash in his back. Their father, Capt. E. W. Bond, who is one of the liest and most prominent citizens of the county, is stricken down with grief and humilia tion. The wounds are not thought to lie fatal. On the Richmond and Danville railroad, in North (Jeorgia, Is a tract of land that the company, some time ago. bought from a native for #lO per acre. Recently, it has lieen discovered that the land is covered with a fine gravel, that contains no dirt, and makes a magnificent Imllast. Carloads are being shipped farther north and sold The absence of dirt renders the road whore this gravel has been used as ballast free of dust, which, of course, during the summer is of great advantage. P. J. Shore left Athens several years ago, and went up on the Air I him to start n saw mill, and has made a <rti ne out of it. He saw that then* was mo .y in it when prop erly manage 1, mid as soon as he could run!;'* a little would Invent It in timber ac cessible to the niilroad. and lie now owns miles of pine limber that he lxmght very cheap and is cutting it into lumber nud ship ing it to all parts of the country. His piomptneas in filling orders and strict atteu tion to business is the principal rnason of his sucueas. During his sermon of Wednesday night Mr. Adnius. of Smithvtlle, in illustrating the downward course of tha sinner, pictured him as rushing towurd destruction riding on a horse that increased his siassl each mo merit, and over which the rider had no con trol. The horse was dualling mail toward a llamlng pit, and all efforts to min him iir were futile. The painting of the scene was vivid, and made h deep impression ou the mini 1 . of u little daughter or one of Miuitli lilies citizens there present. I site that night., waking from a sound slumber, he wiu, surpriseii to find her seated near the bad, wide awake. Bhe said she was bo worried atiout the man on the horse that she could not sleep. A negro nairn-d Hoi Hirman*. a notorious iharaetar, used indecent and profane iaa* gnage to a white lady in the lower part of Berrien County, on Friday evening or Sat urday morning of last week. A warrant was Issued for nis arreit, and a posse went in search of him. The posse found him near Rinks’ millpond, armed and defiant. To avoid being captured, he leaped into a boat and begun paadling off. Several shots were fired at him. and it was reported that he had been struck in three places on one of his arms. -Another rumor is that he was killed. If so, he is the sixth brother out of seven that have met violent deaths. They were all desperate characters, and met the inevitable fats of such characters. Brunswick Adrertistr: Engineer Wil liam Dart, of the steam tug U. Dart, re ports seeing a rattlesnake yesterday “com ing in from sea." The steamer was near the lighthouse when his snakeship was dis covered coming m with the tide, head erect, but with rattles trailing in the water. The rattlesnake usually swims with both head and bill erect, the latter waving from side to side like that of a dog. This one must hive been SVimmmg a long time, and was no doubt exhausted, hence allowed his rat tles to trail in the -water. Now, whence came the land monsteri Had he come across from England, or had he undertaken to swim across from one island to the other on the ebb tide, lieeu carried to sea, and was returning with the tide’ Sterling Harris shot and killed his brother Boh, last Tuesday, near Col. 8. H. Hawkins’ place in Isx- county. Bob had worked six months for Sterling and was trying to get him to u settlement. Sterling, it seems, had glvfn Bob a due bill for the amount he owes! him, and negro like, claimed that this paid him off. Rib was somewhat afraid tnat Sterling would hurt him and sjioko to a bailiff about going with him. Sterling ordered him off. whim he ark-d for the money, and told him if he didn’t go he would hurt him. Bob asked again for his money, when Sterling fired with a shotgun, giving him a heavy load from the crown of his head to his breast. Bob lived until the next day and died. Sterling was arrested by M. Ns. Barker and carried to Leesburg, where he is now in jail. Jim- Lavender, a white man, charged with two crimes, one for shooting at an other and the other for using profane language in the preseni’c of ladies, and liound over under a bond of of .*4OO for Ins appearance at the next term of Wilkinson Superior Court, was found by his liondsmen on Saturday night last near Ive v Station, and brought to Irwinton on Sunday follow ing, and lodged in jail preparatory for a bearing at the next term of the Superior Court, which convenes the first Monday in October. He resisted at first, and swore tnat he would not go to jai! and stated that lie would die first, and with the assistance of his wile and eldest son both being well ai med with deadly weapons tried to their utmost to prevent his a.-reit, but all efforts to that effect proved ’ lie in vain. The largo quantity of hay harvested last week by T. D. Gnrr, on his farm about four miles fmm Berry, on the Hayneville road, proves con- hi lively that Houston farmers c mid annually make inoney by gathering hay while the summer sun shines. After gathering a fair crop of oats last spring, peas wen- sown broadcast on the land. The peas were not cultivated at all, and grass grew luxuriantly with the pea vine. Last week the pea vines and hay were cut from thirty acres of land, and 132 boles of excel lent nay were packed. These bales will average 3V) pounds, making a total of 12,7(1 ( pounds of hay, an average of 1,123* pounds per acre. Some of this hay bus been sold for 75c. per 100 pounds, which will make the crop worth $lO 67* per acre. A ton per a'-re was gathered from ten acres, while the dr}’ weather cut short the entire crop. A negro woman and child were run over by the down train on the Bort Royal road Saturday afternoon, and both instantly killed. The accident was a most peculiar one. There i* a steep graded track for a long distance near Marlin’s Station, and of course, in going down it all trains run very rapidly About one fiiilo and a half from Martin's the engineer saw a negro woman leading a child by the hand in a cut some distance ahead. Tile train was going at headlong speed and the engineer quickly re versed hts engine and put on tbo brakes, hut the grade was so steep that the speed of the train wor not perceptibly cheeked. The wo man lookei back and saw it was instant death Unless she got out of the cut very quickly. Not seeming to thinit of lying down on the side of the track she clung to the child’s hand and tried to outrun the en gine, but to no purpose, for hardly had she taken a dozen steps before tile mammoth machine struck both her and the child, terribly mangling them and producing in stant death Thursday night while a party of negroes, cotton pickers, were congregated in the road in front of George Dozier’s residence, about ten miles below Cuthbert, they be came involved in a difficulty among tuein selves, at which curses, abuse and rocks were used promiscuously. Ho intolerant were tlieir actions, that Air. Dozier went to where they were, and ordered them away, whereupon they turned upon him and filled tho air with rocks and sticks thrown at him and his residence. Several large rocks went through the glass windows into the bed mom At this juncture Mr. Dozier gath ered his shotgun and discharged the con tents of I Kith barrels into the moh, seriously wounding two of them, and frightening the others away. There ure no barrooms in the community, and no cause is given for the lawless nhd mob-like manner of the ne groes. Mr. Dozier is a large planter, has always Vsson very successful in managing negroes’ labor, and has plenty of it around him all the time. The wounded negnsis are reported to he seriously shot, and the chances are that one or both of them will die from their wounds. KLORIDA. Work continues on the theatre at Tavares.

A citizen of Oakland recently obtained an equal number of Sicily and Florida lemons. After a careful test he found that they con tained very nearly the same quantity of juice—the prefei-ence being but slightly in favor of the Sicily There was really r.o essential difference, while the price dis c -iminates against Florida largely, being about 13c. per dozen for Florida and 30c. for Sicily. The saloon question has caused consider able excitement at DeFuniak, the result of which will tie an election to decide whether tho people want it sold in the county or not.

James K. Ellis, about 2f> years old, met with a serious accident at L“osburg a day or two ago. He was doing some hauling in Needham Lee's grove with a single wagon, to which a mule was hitched. From some unknown cause the mule took fright, ran away, dashed the wagon against an orange tree, broke the vehicle and threw Ellis vio lently headforemost against the tree. At the same time the mule kicked him on the top of the head. He was taken up insensible and lmd convulsions during the night. At last accounts he wns improving, but still in a precarious condition. The Stull was not fractured externally. Saturday night a serious cutting scrape occured in the northern part of Walton county between Frank Davis and Tucker Davis, his son, and one of the Ganey boys. Frank Davis and young Ganey were both badly gashed. Tucker Davis wns arrested. The cause of tho cutting seem* to have lieen on account of (Taney's refusal to let Davis and his son have a gun which Ganey had in his possession. Frank Davis ana Amos Ganey are seriously, if not fatally, injured. Tucker Davis was placed under SIOO bond, in default of which he was taken to Milton jail. Frank Davis, being too badly injured to be moved, is under arrest, and is guarded at his home. Two weeks ago a hog was stolen from Pleas. Green's pen, near his mill at Quincy, and two days after Mr. Green found tiic meat,.nicely salted, in a corn-crib on the premises of a negro neighbor, where it had been placed by the thief, who proved to lie 4 darkey named Owsar Wilson, and who finally confessed that he had done the steal ing. A few nights after the meat was found a party of men (said to have come from Georgia) went to the negro’s house and took him out to a tree, where they tied him up and administered a severe whipping, after which he was ordered to leave the county. After biding out for severed days tho negro gave himself up and wus placed in jail on a warrant which had been pre viously issued for him. Friday morning a trunk was found lying in the scrub in tho base I*ll grounds in La- Villa It warnt first reported that it con tained clothing, two watches, a puir of bracelets ami several other articles of value, an 1 that it had evidently been stolen and left t ere bv thieves. ('apt. Brittain secured a hone and buggy and drove out to the place designated by n negro as the spot where the tnmk wns found. The trunk was found, but if it had the valuables in it de sorilied by the negro, it hid been rifled I*- fo-e the i 'aptain's informant reached Jark sonvillc. Soon alter ('apt. Brittain’s arrival Deputy Hberitf E. J. Murphy also appeared on the scene, and an examination was muds by the two officer* as to the con tent* of the trunk. The contents consisted of a pall of pants that were remarkable for the numerous patches thut were on the I liosom of tho same, two collars, one cravat, i and a small Iron savings bank, which evl j ilently suspended payment long ago. There was also a letter in the trunk addressed to Samuel B. !/>tt, which was evidently writ ten by a colored man, who signed himself A. J. Reed. The letter was dated from Hilliard, Fla., and postmarked Boulogne, Fla. No clew was found to the owner of the trunk, or the party or ftartiea who put it where it was fmirid. BOOTH ("AltnuVA.

The cotton factory question at Camden, like Banqno’s ghost, will not down, but is continually boobing up. Many business men are beginning to see the urgent necessity for such au enterprise, in view of the de mands that have been made upon the Cam den market by factory towns and the ex cellent prospects for a go-id cotton crop are (musing the agitators of the factory to take courage and at least make one more de termined effort to do something on this line. It is reported that a few nights ago a negro in Camden county, in the Tylersville neighborhood, was taken from his home and severely flogged by a hand of masked men. The negro i*aaid to !ie a quiet and peaceable man, and the caiw* of .>uch conduct is a, mystery to his neighbors. It is supposed by many that the parties who were encaged in the whipping were all colored, but as yet nothing definite is Known. One negro has been arrested on su pinion, and bound over to answer the charge. Every effort will lie made to solve the mystery. < Last March, by E-ecutive Order No. 6, issued from the Adjutant General’s office, the. Lee Light Infantry, of Chester, spent two <lays in guarding Neely, a prisoner ac cused of rape, and threatened with lynch ing. Capt. Giles J. Patterson has presented a claim under the act of 1688 for compensa tion to these soldiers at the rate of $3 a day. For twenty three nmn the amount would be $69. Unfortunately no provision was made in the last appropriation, bill for such claims and this one cannot be paid until an appro priation >s made. The fund for general pur poses within the control of the Adjutant General is only $304 and this is either already expended or due. A large addition is being made to the cot ton mill at Pelzer, 16 mile*from Greenville. Anew cotton warohous* is also to be built. The addition of mill numbe • two will make the Pelzer Mill One of the largest in the whole South. When the new mill is completed Pelzer will have in use 36,000 spindles and 1,100 tocmi, employing 950 ope ratives, and consuming every vear eighteen thousand bales of cotton. The mill is al reuuly the largest jn. that section, employing at present over 600 operatives. Capt. E. A. Smyth is its President, and the mill is own ed almost entirely by Charleston men. It is understood that the capital will s u rily be increased from $500,090 to $60),000. Henry D. Malloy. A. G. Koliock, Henry P. Duncan, A. A. Pollock and T. P. Hamer, of Cheraw, and YY T . A. Hinshaw, of Clio, have applied to the Secretary of State for a charier for tLe Cheraw Iron YVorks, and a commission for the organization of the company, with these gentlemen as a board of corporators, was issued Friday. The general purposes of the organization em brace the casting and moulding of iron and the manufacture and,repair of ironware and machinery. The i-awtal stock will be $30,- 000 in four hundred shares of SSO each. The corporators w rite that they propose organ izing immediately. -One haft the amount subscribed will be paid on or before Nov. 1, and the remainder at such timo as inav be called for. , At Greenville about midnight Thursday night, just as a negro torchlight, procession ill celebration of the election of Capt, Townee as Mayor was lighting up, Samuel Williams, a colored shoemaker, was shot in the right ove, the ball miming the brain and lodging in the rights temple. Williams was a strong Rowley worker in the campaign, and he claims tnat Lee Minor, who is noto rious as a Idtyjcr of the Hoover’s Co-opera tive Workers, and who is a big Townes man, shot him because he was shouting, “Hurrah for Rowley!" Other parties deny this story. Minor'was arrested, and is in jail. Williams is out of danger. There was much talk for awhile about a contest of the recent election, which was declared for Townes by sixteen plurality. The matter, however, has be>'n settled by the managers, and there will be no coated. A letter has lieen rechived by the .Veins and Courier t'rscu. Mct'lcllanville Under date of Sept, lit, from which the following extracts are made. ; The statements are in reference to the South Santee river rice lands: "On tho day of. Aug. 17 the freshet struck the upper left U of the river, on which were promises of n fifty-bushel crop, and in n few days more than one-half of the plantations wero-entirely covered. Still it was hoped that the waters would recede be fore vert serious damages should occur, as the freshet was riot a large one. But the singular combination of a perigee moon with very high east winds for several weeks, threw up enormous tides, stopping the outflow for a week or more, and so effecting tho total Ins* of the crops of four o.* five upper places, save, perhaps, a tithing of unmarketable rice. Thencedown wai and as the river widens,the loss is in propor tion to the situation. Four or five of the lower places are unharmed, leaving, on a general average, not more than half, if so much, of the entire crop of the South Santee stand ing. The total distraction hy the two freshets of June and July last year had put, the planters in great doubt as to any pros pect of resuming work again, but one by one they were enabled to return to their' fields, and it was hoped that the heavy allu vial deposit of last year aud the long rest of the land would retrieve their losses. Never before wero greater efforts or more energy exhibited, and rarely a liner prospect in view than that seen up to Aug. 17.” A Mammoth Concern. From the Sfberton, (Go.) Gazette.
