Tift’s gin-house, on his Hand Hill place, a mile east of Albany, was destroyed Dy fire on Thursday night, and the fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. Mr. Tift estimates his loss at about S7OO. This is the second incendiary Are that Mr. Tift has bad on his place within a year. It ■will be remembered that his barn was destroyed not a great while ago. Last week was a remarkable week in the history of the Superior Courts of Elbert county. From Monday morning till Satur day noon sixty cases were disposed of— thirty-two civil and twenty-eight criminal —an average of eleven cases per day. There was no unwarranted haste in the trans action of the business of court. Each case ■was awarded sufficient time and attention. Last Wednesilay a little negro Imy named Tooke, was fooling around the gin of Joel English, in Macon county, and was told by English's littU son to keep bis hands out while the gin was running or it would hurt him. Late the boy went to the gin and stuck his right hand in on the saws. He gave a yel>, but left his hand, wrist and most of his lingers in the gin box with the cotton.

Wilberforce Daniel, who was on t he Gov emor's staff. When ho gotto Atlanta Frank was made a full fledged member of Gov. Gordon’s staff, and as no privates wore al lowed in that body he wosdublied Col. Har deman, and as such was introduced to Mr. Cleveland. On the day when the various delegations were to pass in review before {President Cleveland the young Colonel rode with Hon. Robert Falligant, of Havan- Xiah, near the head of the procession and though his steed was rather fiery he man aged to keep his seat very gracefully until they approached the balcony on which the President stood. The shouts and cheers were too much for Frank and lie turned bis hungry gaze toward the Chief Magistrate of our nation. The horse saw his chances and in the twinkling of an eye our young Geor gia hero was shaking the Quaker city dust from his Sunday clothes, a sadder but a wiser youth, and consoling himself that he at least had done something to distinguish him from the vulgar throng around him. An Americus man sayß that when Ruin ter oounty was first settled a man named Bal- Jord lived somewhere in the mni|s of the Muckalee with his wife. In those days the woods were full of wild turkeys, and Bal lard conceived an idea that he would cap ture a big lot of them and sell them in Maeon. He built a large turkey pen and covered it over, leaving a trench for the fowls to enter in, baited it with corn and went home. Two or three days after he went to the pen and found it full of big, fat turkeys; probably thirty or forty. Ballurd was afraid to loosen the pen to take them out, so he went home, got a rope and his wife to assist, him, and returned for his birds. When he got to his pen he crawled in at the trench where the turkeys had entered, after tying one end of the rope around his body, ami tied each one of the turkeys by the feet with the other part of the rope. lie then bade bis wife to remove the top of the pen, and struggled out. As soon as the turkeys found they could expand their wings they began to nutter and fly, and soon Ballard was as high as tne trees, yelling in fright to his wife below to save him The poor woman wrung her hands and followed as the scared birds mounted higher and got snifter in their flight. She soon lost sight of her hus band, and as he has nevermore liern heard of, she bundled up and returned to her pa rents in North Carolina, lie Nays that this is a true statement, of the captives capturing their captor, but he don’t know what be came of Ballard FLORIDA.

The upper floor will be used as a Masonic Hall. A colored man entered the residence of George Long, at Interlachen, one night, last week, and after rifling the pockets of William Whalen, he entered tne room of Mr. Long. In his search for valuables he awakened Mr. Long, who, in his short clothes, gave him hot pursuit, but he es caped. He, however, was later in the day captured near Hawthorn.

Thursday morning Harry B. Archil mid, the keeper of Indian River Inlet House of Refuge, found on the beach a mile south of the station, a bot tle containing two cards with the following names: “Pat Tynin, with George Marguart, corner Carondelet and Poydras streets. W. T. Graham, 180 Dun das street, Toronto, Canada, William Jones J. Archer.” There was no date nor vessel’s name. In a shooting gallery on Church street, at Orlando, is a live quail with its head pro truding from a box as a target to be shot at by anyone who will pay. The poor thing cannot draw its head into the box, but is kept in mute terror while the bullets are kept flying around it, until some expert puts it out of misery, when it is replaced by another. Such cruel sport should be prohibited by the authorities. The advantages and beauties of Lake Winnimissett, near Orange City, are not as well known as they should be. The Aquat ic Club, of that place, has fitted up path houses, boat houses, swimming pools, etc., which makes it a very pleasant place to sjiend a day. The dub consists of over forty gentlemen from the vicinity, DeLand Lake Helen and elsewhere, who have several fine boats on the lake now, and are con stantly adding to their number. Ed. Hill, of Cocoa, has made a deed of assignment for the lienefit of all his credit ors. appointing 8. F. Travis assignee. Mr. Hill wrote to each of his creditors asking them to come or send a representative, as he owed more money than he could pay at that time, and asking a few months’ indul gence. Mr. Hill wus answered by an at tachment, and in justice to all of his credit ors could do nothiug but assign all of his property for the benefit of his creditors. Robert Lennox Kennedy, well and favor ably known, has lately died. He was one of the Lennox family of New York, noted for wealth and its generous use for the pub lic. He erected two church buildings for the Presbyterians in Pulntka, and furnished them handsomely. The first building was burned in tho great fire, and he erected a new building (the present) and provided it with a large clock. lie loft an endownment to aid the church. He was broad in his gifts, a contributor to the Episcopal Orphanage School of Charleston, and other worthy objects, outside his own church associa tions. At Daytona Philip, Laurence Thompson’s man, in liecoming an expert astronomer. Last week he wont up into the tower to locate the North star. He opened the win dow on the north side, and to better observe the luminary, attempted to step out on the platform. He stepped out, but there is no platform on the north side, and Phillip took a mighty step downward of about 10 feet to a roof, rolled'off the roof and fell on to the porch, and rolled off the porch roof on to the ground, a distance, in “three falls,” of over 40 foot. Hereafter, when he locates the North star, he will make first an obser vation in reference to u place to stand. Fortunately, he was able to pick himself up only slightly bruised. Nine such jumps out of ten would have broken the mail’s neck. One very remarkable occurance, connect ed with the recent campaign in Marion county was the prediction of Capt. Bill Kendrick, in his Prohibition speech in Anthony, on Monday night, previous to the election. He addressed an appreciative audience, and in his eloquence and en thusiasm delivered himself thus; “I have no fears, ladies and gentlemen, as to the final result. I will tell you the majority for the “dry” ticket, anil I will not miss it ten votes; it will be 187 in the county.” And singular as it may appear that is the exact majority. Capt. Kendrick had not been in Marion county for several weeks before. His remarkable prophesy is a subject of general comment among tho cit/ons. It was rumored on the streets of Black water last Saturday that an old colored wo man, named Ann Rolierts, hail on Friday night before found a young babe in u large paper sack about one-half mile from town. The woman left home about 7 o’clock Fri day night to attend prayer meeting and ufter church, as her daughters hail not re turned home, ns exixx-tod, from herfmarried sister’s, she started in that direction to meet them. When about one-half mile from Bagdad, in a live-oak thicket near the path, her dog commenced to bark at something near by, and w-hen she approached it found it to bo n paper sack, anil u|hih examining it found it contained a young baby. It was alive, so she wrapped it up in her apron and started for the nearest house. When aliout 300 yards from the road she heard two men talking, and one said to the other, “I believo she has it now;” and the other said, “We will see, for I was paid to get it out of the way, and it will not do to let lier have it.” By this time she was getting frightened and began walking fast, but they gained upon her, and tailing tho child from her, walked off in the woods. SOUTH CAROLINA. The gin-house, grist mill and saw mill of O. W. Andeimin, near Greenville, were burned Wednesday. Loss $1,200, and no insurance.

The inquiries for information about the fair are more numerous than usual, and the indications favor an exceptionally large i exhibit of live stock. At Spartanburg, Saturday was appoiuted a- the day for tho Clifton strikers to show cause before Trial Justice Tharkston why they should not be evicted. Mr. Wilson represented the employes and Mr. .Simp son tho corzlpany. The case of Mr. Busby was taken up. and after much evidence and short arguments the Judge decided that the company was entitled to have the writ of ejectment enforces!. There are twenty-two other similar cases. C. TV. Forster, of Gorgetown, expected to inake a eonsiderable quantity of scupper nong wine this fall from the vineyard at Friendtieid plantation. The vines bore abundantly, and were jealously watched and guarded until a few days ago, when they were left unprotected for a brief inter val. When Mr. Forster returned to gather some grapes his vines had been swept, clean by the negroes, and not a cluster of the fruit could be found. Richmond Fraser (coftired) died after an illness of several weeks. Ho jumped from a window in the new school building which is being put up in Abbevillo for the benefit of the colored pro rile, and hurt his an kle. The injury was not thought to lie severe at the time, and he continued to work for several days, when he began to suffer. He took his bed. mortification set in, the foot was am putated, and now he is dead. He was study ing theology with a view to preaching. The fact that so many deaths have oc curred among the South Carolina College students, at Camden, caused by fever, is be iug freeiy discussed. The matter ought to be investigated, and, if the cause is in the college buildings or in the water supply of the students, it ought to be speedily removid or the fact made known that such is not the case, for at present, it seems to be believed that the cause of this fever, which has pro duces! death in various parts of the State, lies in the buildings or water supply of the college. 1 The case of W. A. Pollard, ox-postmaster at Greer's Station, near Greenville, for ob strumi- 1 ' the mail and opening letters to pry to secrets, was heard before Commis sioner Hawthorn Monday. Pollard was postmaster at Greer's for twelve years be fore his removal last June on account of complaints of this character. He is charged with breaking open two letters written by Congressman Perry to Dr. League, at Greer’s, concerning the management of the office. Pollard was sent up to court, giving bond for S3OO. The ginning outfit and corn mill of Mr.O. P. Wilson, situated about half a mile from Camphelltort.was destroyed by fire Monday. The fire was discovered in the lint room, aboqt 8 o’clock, while tho gin was in mo tion, and the generally accepted theory is that it originated from a match or friction. The loss, including nine bales of cotton, a quantity of cotton seed, damage to engine, etc., will probably amount to $2,000 ”• he property was insured in the Home, of New York, for SI,OOO, two-thirds of which amount is collectible. Jesse Blaine, a colored man living on Waceamaw, was shot and killed at Clifton plantation on Monday night by Titus Small (colored). The shooting was dot#> with a shotgun, and death ensued almost imme diately. The tragedy is said to have been caused by Blaine’s intimacy with Small’s wife. It is said that Blaine sent the woman over to Georgetown Monday night, and had made arrangements to meet her the next morning, when they were to go to Charles ton together. The murderer fled, and has not yet been arrested. Mr. A. K. Mann, while working at Cruise’s mill, in Anderson county, last week, was bitten twice on the right forearm by a spider and the result was a highly inflamed wound and a great deal of physical suffer ing. Before going to work Mr. Mann donned an old woolen shirt, expecting to get, wet while working aliout the wheel, and did not notice until after he felt the sting of a bite the second time that u large spider had made a nest in the sleeve of the shirt. When he felt the first sting he rubbed the place slightly, thinking it was a splinter, and at the second sting lie rubbed more vigorously, but still kept at work. In about an hour the pain increased a great deal and tho wrist began to swell, when an examination showed the remains of a large spider and a nest of eggs mashed over the arm. The skin came off all over the surface touched by the mashed substance, showing tho intensely poisonous nature of the insect. K. W. Moise, Jr., a son of Charles H, Moise, of Sumter, has written home that he saw Charles E. Bartlett, the defaulting hank cashier, in Ran Antonio, Texas, a few days ago. Mr. Moise has heen a resident of San Antonio for a number of years, and know Bartlett Ixith out there and at home. This verities the belief thnt many persons have that, Bartlett went to Mexico, although it is somewhat a mystery how he could have also been seen in Washington and New York, as has been reported on reliable authority. There is also a belief among a large number of people that he has gone to South America. When he took the North-eastern train for Charleston, on the night of his flight, ho could have continued to Tampa, Fla., and reached that city the same day that a vessel was advertised to sail for South America. There is nothing new relative to the bank failure. Receiver Phillips is quietly working away winding up the business, al though it is hard to tell when he will finish. Bartlett’s bondsmen hold invasions! fneet ings, but nothing can be gotten out of them concerning their proposed course. Some of them intend to fight to the last against being held liable, while a number of them express themselves as willing to pay up their quota of the bond and have no further trouble about it. It is not yet known whether or not the matter will be tried at the October court. Sumter, Sept. 19.—Special —Quite a rip ple of excitement was caused at Sumter Monday morning by a fight between CoL R. M. Wallace, President of the defuuct Sumter National Bank, and Mr. P. G. Bow man It seems that in examining the bank pajiers tho receiver found among other vouchers drafts amounting to over #3,000, which had lieen drawn bv Mr. Bowman on the hank last year. Col. VVallace mentioned this to a gentleman in town and addinl that Mr. Bowman had no money in the bank when the drafts were drawn. Mr. Bowman heard of the remark, and meeting Col. Wallace on Main street, in front of the court house this morning, asked him about it. Col. Wallace replied that 110 had said it, whereupon Mr. Bowman said that he did have money in the bank when he made the drafts, and told Col. Wallace that he was a liar, adding that he thought Wallace wus as deep in the bank robbery as Bartlett. Wallace gave Bow man the lie, and the latter immediately struck him across the head and shoulders twice with a light bamboo cane which he carried in his hand. Col. Wallace caught the eano out of Mr. Bowman's hand, when Bowman drew his pistol. Several bystand ers then rushed up Hnd parted the combat ants. 11. >t h were arrested, but were released after lieing summoned liefore the Police Court in the morning, when all the facts and circumstances of the cane will re ceive an oflirml investigation. At the time the drafts referred to were drawn Mr. Bowman had money in tho bank amounting to atsmt s4.<)<n, about be ing his own, aud nbout $3,310 Mooring to two cheats, for whom he had collected from the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company on Judgment* obtained against that company.

SMITH’S FARM. Something About the Process of Mak ing Cotton Seed Oil. A reporter of the Athens (Gu.) Banncr- Watrh man has just visited Col. James M. Smith's farm in Oglethorpe county. The reporter says: First, we would remind our readers that at the dose of the war, Col. Smith was a poor man; to-day he has under his control something like 1,000 human beings, 10,000 acres of land, fine flouring mills, and per haps the only private cotton serf oil mil! in Georgia, from which he turns out thousands of gallons of cotton seed oil annually. He reports his crop not so good as last year, and says that it was a poor one. He lost 10,000 bushels of corn by the high water. He hopes to be able to get through without buying com, however, by sowing plenty of rye, wheat, oats, etc. Besides his 1,000 bales of cotton, CoL Smith makes thousands of grain, syrup, potatoes, etc. He will kill somo 100 hogs, and has cattle without end. He went up to Atlanta yesterday to watch the lease investigation. It is well known t at he is one of the lessees, hav ing some 150 convicts. He says that the stir has created no demoralization in his camp at the farm, but hears that those on the M. and A. railroad are pretty badly affected. You can form some conception of the magnitude of his fanning operations when wo say his ginning capacity is some forty bales per day. Thrown from the wagon into a hopper on same level, the seed cotton is elevated to third floor by ma chinery, conducted over the gins, where it falls into the feeder, passes through the gin and a condenser, is carried by hand into a press, and in a few moments rolls out a marked bale of cotton. It is of the seed anil the treatment to which they are subjected that we would speak chiefly Separated from the lint, the seed fall on the floor into an endless screw, which conveys them some distance, whence they are ele vated by cups, thence by another screw they are conveyed some seventy-five yards to the oil mill. Once in the mill they are reginneii, some fifty pounds of lint to 1,000 pounds of seed being the product. The lint so obtained is short, and sold at about half the price of ordinary lint. This is not a very paying operation, except in so far as it is necessary to further treatment. Being free of lint, the s-ied next pass through the chopper, which cuts them half in two, thence into a big bin, something on the order of the bolting ap paratus in a flouring mill. By a thorough, good shaking, the hulls and kernel are separated, the hulls falling out and being carried out as refuse, or used as fuel. The kernel is ne.xt taken and put into ovens and cooked some minutes, thence into a pan, from which, by necessary manipula tion, it is put into layers with cloths be tween, preparatory to pressing. It is first partially pressed, so as to be reduced in size and thickness,thence into the hydraulic press of 2,500 pounds pressure to the square inch. The oil under this pressure, exudes the press rises and the cotton seed cake, as it is called, is taken out ground, mixed with acid phosphate and kanit, making as fine a fer tilizer as the world affords. Col. Smith makes thousands of it. The oil passes down into vats and is allowed to remain there a few days until it settles and a sufficient quantity has been made to warrant draw ing off. It is then drawn off into ban-els and put aboard the railroad, and the Colonel takes a long farewell of it, selling to refiners in New York. It passes on• into olive oil, butter and everything that Yankee ingenuity can devise that can finds market. Nine thousand pounds of seed represent about one thousand pounds of meal, and of this about two hundred ami fifty tmunds in oil, which we gh T : 4 lbs. per gallon, mak ing about 83 Ls gallons oi on from the seed from a bale of cotton. The crude oil nets aboud 20e. per gallon the season through, making about #ti. <5 per bale as the oil produce Can’t some mean.-' be devised whereby this amount will be saved to planter and not buried. The cotton seed coke free of oil is just as good a fertilizer as the crude seed, considering the cost of handling better. The simplest plant that will pay cost; about S7,(JOC and requires seed troin about 2,500 hales of cotton, repre senting about $1fi,635 worth of oil. In saying that the oil nets 20c. we mean of course, after it is made, tho cost of treat ment of seed, etc., must of course lie de ducted to find the clare profit. About eight men of ordinary intelligence, are employed in the oil mill, from reginning the seed to putting up the ground coke into bags as fertilizer and drawing off the oil. How “Dixie” Came to be Written. Prof, Kaue in Baltimore American. It was on a Saturday night in 1850, when Dan Emmett was a member of Bryant’s Minstrels in New York, that Dan Bryant came to Emmett and said: “Dan, can’t you get us up a walk-around 1 I want some thing new and lively for Monday night.” At that date all minstrel shows used to wind up with a walk-around. The demand for them was constant, and Emmett was the composer of all of them for Bryant's Min strels. Emmett of course went to work, but he had done so much in that line that nothing at Hint presented itself that he liked. At last he hit upon the first two liars, and any composer can tell how good n start that is in the manufacture of a tune. By Sunday afternoon he had the words, commencing “I wish 1 was in Dixie.” This colloquial expression is not, as most people suppose, a Southern phrase, but first appeared among the circus men in the North. In early fall, when nipping frosts would overtake the tented wanderers, the boys would think of the genial warmth of the section they were heading for, and the common expression would be: “Well, I wish 1 was in Dixie.” This gave the catch line; the rest of the song was original. On Monday morning the song was rehearsed and highly commended, and at night a crowded house came to hear the refrain, and half of the aud.tors went home singing “Dixie.” The song heeame the rage, and the Newoombs, the Buckleys, and other minst: el parties gave Emmett *5 tor the privilege of using it. Mr. Wertein, of New Orleans, wrote to Emmett to secure the copyright, but, without waiting for an answer, pub lished it, witli words by a Mr. Peters. Pond, of New York, secured it from Emmett, ana gave him SSOO, but Werlein sold thousands of copies without giving Dan a nickel. Not only was Emmett robbed of the profits of his song, but the authorship of it was dis puted. Will 8. Hays, of Louisville, claimed it as hia own. He told the writer of these lines that he wrote it at tne breaking out of tlie war, but he was talking to the wrong man that (lav, and I told him so. Pond brought the matter liefore a music publish ers’ convention and settled the question of authorship, but Dan reaped no lsuielit from this tardy Justice. Emmett got into trouble about his song during the war. It was con sidered a Southern song, and a sapient editor in Maine declare 1 that Dan was a Secession ist, and that- he should lie treated as one, although the song was written two years before the commencement of the war. “Rough on Itch.” “Rough on Itch” cures skin humors, erup tions, ring-worm, totter, salt rheum, frosted feet, chilblains, itch, ivy jioison, barber’s itch. 50c. jars.
