It was l-eported in Cuthbert last week that George W. Dozier, who lives twelve miles south of that place, had shot two ne groes. Mr. Dozier was in Cuthbert last Wednesdav and said that the storv was en tirely without foundation: that he has not so much as had a difficulty or cross word with a negro this fall, and that no difficulty between any white man or men and negroes has occurred in the community in which he lives this year, so far as he knows.

She started all hands out to hunt her daughterand bring ber back home, but ail too late. The young people got married, and then turned the dog loose to go home and lear the good tidings. The bill to provide for the transportation of lumber and nnval stores bv allowing tramways to be erected for that purpose, passed by the General Assembly some days ago. lias not been approved yet by the Gov ernor. There is considerable opposition to the bill. It appears that the main ground ■>f opposition is that, of uneonßtitutionality, the bill giving the right to condemn private property for private purposes. The erec tion of said tramways is contended to be furthering private interests and not public ones. The Governor has not fully deter mined what to do. At Amerieus a day or two ago Scab Fea gin. an impudent negro, so far forgot him self and the fact that he was in Georgia as to attempt to climb into a carriage in which a lady was seated, with evident intention of riding up town from the depot. The lady was indignant and informed ner husband of the facts in the case, whereupon he secured a good ax helve and gave the negro a thrashing. The people wei-e very indig nant when they heard of the intended in suit, and it is lik ..v that the coon will be given a certain number of hours in which lo leave town, provided he has not wisely gone already. There are onJv four survivors of the Fail'’he Volunteer, a company that went out from (ireene county to fight tlie Creek Indiana in the spring of IKflo. Hon. Will iam C. Itawwon, who aftei wards won the title of peacemaker, was Captain of the company, which numbered over 100 young volunteer*, each one tired with the deire to take an ludian'r, scalp. F..

A negro was arrested mi suspicion and held to hail. Mineral circles at Carter* ville are just now laboring under quite a ripple of excite ment over the discovery Thursday of an im mense bank of brown hematite, by workmen employed by \V. C. Baker, of the hardware firm of Baker & Hall. He owns a lot of land upon which is located what is known as the Kinsey Bank, situated four miles above the line of the railroad operated by the Daile Goal Company, alxitit ten miles from (‘arteisville. Mr. Baker has had a force of men at work several (lavs clearing up the bank, and o|M*iations had proceeded so far as to disclose the richest brown hema tite in abundance. A blast, was discharged which opened the side of the bank a consid erable distance and diselosisi the fact that fifty to seventy-five tons of the very best brown hematite could be displaced at a single blast. Rev. W.M. Killebrew, who has heretofore attracted some attention, has just been dealt with by the association of which he is a member, as to curtail his peculiar useful ness for the future. At its last session at Dublin, Rehoboth Association declared that whereas, reliable Information has come to us that W. M.Killebrew, who is a member of Rehoboth Baptist church, and who was licensed to preach at ourJJanuary confer ence, 1887, had abandoned his wife and children, leaving them in a destitute con dition, and who, after obtaining upon false pretenses money, goods and chattels, pro reeded to Corinth church in Emanuel coun ty, there eloped with Miss Lula Hackle, who was on Sept. 5, excommunicated from Corinth church, took the cars at Midville for parts unknown; therefore resolved, that we, the church, in conference, revoke the license granted said Killebrew, and that we ordain that he he excommunicated from the fellowship of this church. Jasper N. Bryan, one of the oldest farm ers in Georgia, lives about three miles west of Marshnllville, in the house where he first saw the light of this world. He owns the old homestead, including several hundred acres of land— many lying u|>on the river, and are hs rich as a Mississippi bottom—has never lived at any other place, and up to the day he entered the Confederate army had never lean ten miles from home. After spending four years in camps, fighting the Yankees, he returned to his home, and mar ried and has reared a large family. Up to ten days ago he had never been a mile east of the depot, iiad never seen the hundreds of acres in fruits and nursery stock of the Biunphs, Moore and Murph, lying just east of town, and while rifling through these or chards ale v days since wns perfectly aston ished at their beauty and magnitude. Mr. Bryan is a well-read, prosperous farmer, but sticks closer to his business, probably, than any man of his means in fill the State. At Bninbridge Thursday morning at •'! o’clock, a negro crept into the second storv sleeping apartment of two young ladies, making his entrance through a window which was partially closed and which opened upon the rear shed rooms of the house. The roof of the shed rooms was reached by climbing a tree which stood near the eaves, and creeping along the roof he opened the window enough to admit the passage of his body. The noise of opening the window awoke one of the young ladies, who supposing it to be the wind rattling the sash, lay still until she heard someone breathing near the bed. She at once aroused her sister, with whom she was sleeping, and told her to get the lamp from the table while she struck a match. Springing from the lied, the younger sister sprang over the negro, who was on his all-fours by the bed. By the light of the match stie recognized the form and oelor of a mulatto named George MeNabb, well known by almost everybody in the city. Seeing that it really was someone both ladies screamed lustily and the villain made his escape through the tray he had come— jumping to the ground some twelve feet be low. Boon after daylight next morning, Deputy Marshal Earned airested the negro and he is now in jail. Last Thursday night a young colored woman and her infant of three months ar rived m Cartersville from Chattanooga. The woman mingled among her race the following day, and made several attempts to give her tiaby away. That night, not succeeding in disposing of it, she conceived the idea of leaving it on some one’s door step. Passing along Marshal Wilkerson’s residence, in the northeast portion of town, she noticed that the house was dark, and concluded that the folks were at the meet ing. She approached the veranda anil laid the infant thereon and left, it, going to the depot intending to b lin’d the next train for Atlanta. Fortunately, the litttle one began crying, which whs heard by neighbors, who began an investigation. The child was found and the alarm was given. Night police Henry Ford happened to lie at the dej*ot and noticed the same woman that, had gotten off tli<> down train the night Wore without the child. He became suspicious, and when he heard of the stray one on the veranda he at once arrested the woman. Marshal Wilkerson arrived on the s|iot soon after and both carried the woman to where the child as found. She pleaded hard for forgiveness, raying her name was Lula Cato and her home was in Atlanta. She said that a young physicinu in Atlanta was the father of the child, and that she felt her ilis grace deeply and did not know how to get rid of her child any other way. She was perfectly heartless, and during the following day succeeded in giving it to a colored couple who will take good care of it. FLORIDA. There are 170 pupils at the Kissimmee school.

As usual in such i asesja woman caused the trouble. In some re mote spot in West Gainesville the two met in combat, using their fists as weapons. As Dan’s lists were much the largest, heaviest and more forcibly put, he came out vic torious, as his antagonist was an invalid, and a person that no man would think of touching. Bridges was very badly handled, as several scars and scratches will show. ! | 1 I About five years ago William Hwayne sold out all his belongings in North Carolina and settled on a homestead on the banks of the Ocklawahn, near what is now Riverside. After entering his land lie had nearly $1,500 and he built his house on the first hill rising out of the hummock, about 100 yards from the river. He was then over tSO, but he was hale and hearty, and began to clear up land for a garden and set out an orange grove, in full confidence that with healthy sur roundings and in the mild climate he would live to eat of the fruit of his labor and go to his grave in peace, when go he must. On Tuesday morning two weeks ago, he passed into liis backyard to feed his pigs and chickens. For some time he loving ly contemplated these friends of his lonely life and then went into the house only to find his trunk gone. He struck the trail of the marauder anil saw by the tracks that the thief wore a shoe without a heel. The trail was followed into the woods for some distance and ultimately it was found that at a distance from the house the trunk had been kicked open and all its valuable con tents abstracted. There wns over *SOO in paper, SSO in gold, two mortgage deeds for money loaned and his homestead, papers—-- these had disappeared. Mr. Hwayne imme diately went to Palatka, made affidavit, and the Judge issued a warrant, but nothing more has been done. One neighbor saw a certain party burn papers on tnat day, and others will swear that the same party lost the heel of a shoe. Yet, practically, nothing has been done. At Black water on last Saturday night about 8:30 o'clock, A. AV. Johnson, colored, better known as Ous Johnson, was shot and mortally wounded by some unknown per son, while standing in his shop door. The party that did the shooting secreted himself inside a lot inclosed with nigh bricks across the street from Johnson’s shop, and awaited his approach to the door, and when he did so the culprit fired the fatal shot. After Johnson was shot he walked back into his shop and behind the counter and got his pistol and returned to the door am! fired in the direction whence came the deadly missile, but his strength fast failing him he fell in the attempt to discharge his pistol the second time, and died within twenty-five minutes afterward. The murder was premeditated, and consid erable prejia ration had been nnide to enter the lot. from where he could get a fair shot unobserved. The cause of the shooting is not positively known. Johnson was a prom - inent politician among the c lored folks, and had quite a following. He was a brave and independent man, open in speech, ami thereby gained many enemies. He was a Republican, but in the last election in this county, for or against selling whisky, John son had taken an active part in the dry ticket and worked very hard with the colored voters, and it is con ceded thereby carried the county dry, anil from which cause no doubt lost his life. One Nathan Hogan (colored) had on Satur day made threats against Johnson, caused by Johnson being elected successor to Hogan in office in the Knights of Labor, and on Monday morning Hogan was arrested and tried before Judge Marquis. Several wit nesses were examined, and at a late hour Judge Marquis adjourned court to take the case under advisement until Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock, when Nathan Hogan was released from custody. ROBSON’S TROUBLES. An Ex-Tax Collector of Washington County Under Arrest. From the Atlanta (On.) Conititution. A one-leggod Confederate veteran who wore the gray and upon crutches continued t he defense of his flag until it was finally furled at Appomattox, was a prisoner at police headquarters during last night. The veteran was J. A. Robson, late Tax Collector of Washington county. Mr. Robson was arrested last night about dark at the Kimball House by Capt. Couch, and at the time of arrest was searching for a detective. The arrest was due to a tele gram received by Chief of Police Connally yesterday afternoon. The telegram was from the’ Sheriff of Washington county, and charged the itereon described therein with embe xsletnent. The story is a sensational one. Mr. Robson was born in Washington county. Georgia, just forty-two yeani ago, and when 15 yeara of age enlisted in the First Georgia and went to the front. For t wo years he fought in the ranks, and made a fearless and active soldier. He was a gen tleman of some education, and just before the light at Hatcher's Run was made Or derly Sergeant. In that fight he was seri ously wounded in the body and had his left leg shot aw ay. During the fight he WAS BORNE FROM THE BATTPEFEI.D, aud the next day found himself in a hos pital. For a long time his life hung by a thread, but finally be began t-o improve and in time hobbled away from the hospital on two crutches. After his wounds were thoroughly healed he returned to his com mand and wanted to fid the vacancy in ranks made by his absence. He was unfit, for active duty, but. hiscnmttmnding officer, admiring his ’bravery and his devotion to his country, secured a Lieutenant's com mission and assigned the soldier to a light duty, which he continued to discharge faith fully until Oen. I>se gave up his sword at the famous apple tree. After the war Mr. Robson returned to Sanders vide and began the study of law. He was a hard, careful student, and grudu nting at Athens, went to his home and be gan practicing. In IX7I he was elected Tax Collector of Washington county, and since that time, has held the office contin umisly, and has handled many millions of dollars. But now for the sensational part of the story. One afternoon, early in February las*, Mr. Roieon was sitting in his office alone. He hart Iswn l OI.I.F.CTIXn MONEY AM, DAY, anil was arranging anrt assorting his hills, when someone .ante in. The gentleman looked up expecting to greet another tax payer, but instead of a tax payer be saw a (I,thy looking tramp before him. The man 100 l e | at Mr. Robson a second, and then re marked: "Can't 1 sell you some stove polish to day f” “No, I guess not," answered the gentle man. I>en.ling over the pile of money again. "tint ft's finesfove polish. ' said the tramp. "I have no slot e to |w>ii<h." remarked Mi Kolsioii, "exoejit that one there, and that le long* to the county." "Then may I warm by itf asked the tra tup "Certainly,' answered Mr. Robson, as he arose to ||J(I some iicoev |u bis safe There was a warm rt m th stoveanrt the ! haunted dou bv*il* it, watching Jur, I Robson place the money in the sate and look it. In a few minutes a farmer entered the office and expressed a desire to pay his taxes. The tax collector accepted the bill anil IN' MAKING Tilt: ( HANOK was compelled to ojien his safe again. As lie turned the combination the tramp watched him closely, and then a rose to leave. Before going, however, he turned to the gentleman again, saying: “And yon don’t want the jiolishf’ “No, not unless it can be used to brighten up the conscience of some people about here,” responded Mr. Rob-on. The tramp passed out the door, and inn few seconds, had passed out of Mr. Robson's mind. Maybe he would never have been thought of again by the Tax Collector but for what ensued. On Keb. It* Mr. Itoltson had something less than ¥ll,OOO in his safe, and that night locked the place of deposit as usual. During the night ne slept as quietly as usual, little thinking that he was lining ruined while he was asleep. On the morn ing of Cell. 20 he arose, and, as usual, break fasted and went to his office. He unlocked the door and went in, and as he entered his eyes fell upon an open window. Fully sat isfied that ne had * CLOSED AXD FASTENED THE WINDOW the previous night, for he was always ex tremely careful, Mr. Robson walked to it and at a glance discovered that it had been broken open. Instantly the tramp with the stove polish sprang into his mind and then as rapidly as he could move he went to the safe. The door was standing wide open and the drawers pulled out. The papers were scattered about the floor and every indica tion of robbery was apparently without in vestigating. The blow was a severe one to the gentle man, because he saw ruin staring him in the face, but bending upon one knee he went through the drawers until he found that they were empty. Mr. Robson knew that he hail lost between *2,500 and fId.OOO, but just how much he could not recollect. It was too early in the morning for callers, and the gentleman sat down and began studying. The I os- was a heavy one, ana in the solitude he wondered bow it would end. He considered what course he should pursue and without the advice of friends made up his mind. And right, there he made his mistake. In his dilemma Mr. Robson saw hut one way of escape, and that was to keep the rob bery a secret and try to make the deficiency caused by the robbery good. All day long he SAID NOTHING ABOUT HIS HEAVY LOSS, but it so preyed upon his mind that late in the evening he called upon his most intimate friend and to him confided all, having first extracted a promise of secrecy. Then things moved along as usual with the gentleman until the time came for him to make his returns to the Comptroller General. In the meantime, however, he had made several attempts to secure the amount of money necessary, but without success. On May II last the CouiDtroller issued an execution and sent it to Washing ton county. This called for quick action on Mr. Robson's part if he wanted to retain the secret of the robbery. He secured from his bondsmen a note large enough to cover the loss, giving them as security a mortgage on 2,oooacres of land in Washington county. With the note lie came to Atlanta and tried to raise the money, hut failed. Home weeks later the shortage and stories of the robbery leaked out, and then Mr. Robson s BONDSMEN BECAME UNEASY and had the bond cancelled. Of course this caused him to vacate the office, so u successor went in. As Mi'. Robson went out he deeded to his bondsniei. 2,000 acres of land, and gave up a horse and buggy and $BOO in notes. This was done to cover any loss they might sustain, and Mr. Robson thought the matter settled. The grand jury for Washington county met last week ana found a true bill against Mr. Robson, charging him with embezzle ment. He was arrested and gave bond in the sum of ¥l,lOO, and at once engaged Judge Twiggs to manage the defense. The Superior Court was in session, and the trial was set down for Friday. Mr. Robson was not ready for trial, because his attorney could not be present, and wanted a contin nance, which was denied him. He then made up his mind to keep out of the way of the court, and on Wednesday was in "the act of going to his brother’s, who lives in the country, where he intended to remain until court was over, when the MOST PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE CASE presented itself. On that afternoon he was notified that there was a package in the ex press office for him, and that it contained ¥2OO. He was not expecting any money, and took the package out. Two hundsed dollars in money and a letter rolled out. The money was good and the letter was in teresting. It read: Mr. ./. R. Roberson , Tax Collector, Sauciers rille, Ga.: Dear Sir- By express of $2.5“) I got from your safe oil the night: Feb. 10th instant. Jly ''pal" didn't tell me and I never knew till since I lifted you that you were an empty leged old Ponied. 1 am flushed now nnd see you have lost your office, therefore the remittance Moral: Be careful in the future how you turn the knob of your combination w hen a vender of stove polish is sitting close bv Wilue Cornsal. Witness: J. K. Peacock. The letter appeared to be from one of the parties who had robbed his safe, and be lieving that a good detective could follow the clew tints given to a successful conclu sion. be decided to come to Atlanta, and not to go to his brother's home. He acted at once, and reached the city last night, but before he arrived a telegram was received at police headquarters ASKING FOR HIS ARREST, and officers were looking for him. From the Union depot Mr. Robson went to the Kimball. He secured a room, and after a shave and bath went to supper. After sup per he walked out upon the street and began asking for a policeman. Captain Couch came by and Mr, Robson halted him, say ing: “Do you know where I can find Ed Mur phy, the detective f” “No, I do not,” answered the Captain. Then after eyeing the gentleman nnd de tecting the one leg, the ( rip! am said: “This is Mr. Robson, isn't it'” “Yes,” was the answer. “We have a telegram at police headquar ters for you.” “For mef” asked the gentleman. “Yes, for you.” The gentleman then accompanied the Cap tain to police headquarters, where he was informed that be was under arrest. Mr. Robson was BOTH SURPRISED AND INDIGNANT when infomied that hlsshcriff had dcserilied him as an embexxior. He at once told his story clearly and quickly. Telegrams were sent to Sandersville notifying the officers of the gentleman’s arrest, and the prisoner was given the liberty of the prison. Mr. Robson is nearly ti feet tall, nnd is a fine looking man. He has coal black hair and a black moustache, and is well cdu cated. When questioned aliout the matter he said: “I had no intention of running away. I did not intend to ls> at court, but was going to mv brother’s nnd stay, nnd let the bond be forfeited. After court, was over 1 was going back.” "Why did you come to Atlanta, than!" "To seciii r a detective and have this ex press package investigated Minis' Mr. Hobson s nrrest the detectives, under the direction of Chief Connelly, have given the express imckage an investigation Ttie imckagn was the usual envelope for money used by the express company.
