It is very likely that Gov. Gordon will

has not yet been decided upon, but inas

bility that the State House departments will
do as everything else will do on the ocea

The State Supreme Court met at Atlanta
Monday in the regular fall session, Chief
Justice Bleckley* presiding and Associate
Justices Blandloru and Simmons on the
ben'-h. Immediately after calling the court
to order Chief Justice Bleckley, in a feeling
manner, alluded to the death of the late
Associate Justice Hall, and appointed the
following committee to prepare suitable me
morial upon bis death: Hons. R. H. Clark,W.
A. Lofton, R. J. Lanier, Howell Cobb, D. A.
Vason, James M. Russell, C. C. Kibbee, H.

court at once proceeded to work, and a
number of cases were disposed of.
A large crowd of earnest looking people,
numbering probably five hundred, com
posed largely of negroes, and all thoroughly
armed, awaited the arrival of the down
tram at Madison Monday night. It had
been rumored that Aleck Morris, who rnur
dered his lather-in-law .Saturday night, had
l>een captured at Decatur and would lie
brought to Madison. The whole neighbor
hood is very much wrought up over the
deed and sanguinary measures are feared
should he be taken. He has not, up to the
latest information, been caught. and is still
in the woods, followed by several posses, one
headed by Sheriff Hillsman and led by
blood hounds from Powell & Daventiorrs
convict camp. It is the general belief that
he will never reach a town, but will be
meted the speedy judgment of Judge Lynch
should his capture be effected by any of his
pursuers. The home of his mother is sur
rounded by a party oi man who expect the
murderer to make an effort to see his
m itlier before leaving for parts unknown.
Morris’ wife, whom he stablxst in the
b east, is oxpe 'to I to recover with careful
nursing. The old woman, the mother of
the wounded girl, will die, it is thought, as
her wind-pipe was severed by the terrible
gash that she received in the throat.
Charley Schuler, the slayer of Dick
1 /ester, is on trial at Atlanta. On
Sunday, July 24 last. CharleV Schuler,
a pagr<> convict employed at the Cbatta
hoochee brick yard, killed a fellow prisoner
named Dick raster I/ester was about 25
years of age, and had been sent up from
Oconee county for fifteen years, having
been convicted of horse stealing. Schuler,
about the same age as his victim, was serv
ing a fifteen-year sentence for burglary.
Both men liore good reputations in the
camp. Neither was regarded as quarrel
some nor pugnacious, and the affray !■
tween the. two convicts was as sudden as it
waa surprising. The men were engaged in
playing a game of cards in rear of the prin
cipal building. The gamesters were
evenly matched. The stakes were small,
but tne pluyers were excited. One bet
e cap against the other’s 40c. Both
|nen claimed the deal and neither would
give in. An altercation ensued, Lester pro
posing to give Schuler 15c. and take the cap.
This offer was rejected. “Then I’ll just
bold on to the cap till the Captain comes
and let him settle it,” exclaimed Lester.
“No you won’t, you’ll just drop that cap.”
“Not much,” was the laconic response. And
these words were the last the convict ever
Uttered. Schuler whipped out a small
pocket-knife and made a slash at the other’s
throat. The blade ripped the neck and sev
ered the windpipe. In lees than five minute*
Lester was dead. Three other convicts
ttvere standing near the men at the time, but
Wie cutting was done so quickly that nobody
:\id.*i interfere until the deadly stroke was

ally conceded now that chemistry can be
successfully taught in no other way. This
chemical laboratory, together with the fine
set of apparatus for the illustration of
physics and physiology, give the institution
splendid facilities for scientific instruction.
A Useful Precaution.
It is a useful precaution for the tourist, the
commercial traveler, or the emigrant to the
West, to take along Hostetler's Stomach Bit
ters! Invalids .who travel by steamboat or rail
should provide themselves with it, in order to
prevent or remedy the nausea which the jarring
and vibration of vehicles in transitu olteu
cause them. Vastly preferable is It for this
simple, tint needful purpose, to the heady mi
medicated stimulants or commerce. On hoard
ship it not only remedies seasickness hut neu
tralizes the pernicious effects of water slightly
brackish. Which, if unqualified, is apt to give
rise to irregularities of the bowels, cramp*in the
abdominal region and dyspepsia. To the aerial
poison of malaria it is an efficient antidote.
Sick headache, heartburn and wind upon the
stomach are promptly banished by it. It health
fully stimulates the kidneys and bladder, and
nullifies the early symptoms of rheumatism.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1887.
FLORIDA'S TOBACCO BOOM
The Florida Tobacco Producing and
Trading Company
The account given last w*rk. says the
t‘nitrrl States Toharro Journal, of New
York, of Oct. l,of an attempt at a grand
revival of the tobacco culture in Honda,
backed by enterprise, intelligence, expe
rience and capital, has created quite a sen
sation in the trade. Further inquiries made,
as promised to our readers, have elicited
the following additional most interesting
facte on this subject:
While the entire leaf trade was grumbling
at tin- stationary aspects of the business, a
few enterprising gentlemen, partly insti
gated by tne accounts spread in these col
umns of the phenomenal swccks of the
Dutch com [zanies in raising Huniatra. went
quietly to work to effect a revival of the
tobacco culture in Florida, Sumatra fashion.
This subject has occupied their most care
ful attention for the past eight months,
and after the most minute examination into
the is risibility and practicability of a sue
cessful result they have demonstrated U
their own perfect satisfaction the following
facts:
Fine tobacco, such as to replace gradually
the bulk of both Sumatra and Havana, can
be rataad in Florida. It can be raised both
from Sumatra and Cuba seed. If raised
from the former a wrapper is produced
such as has never tzeen grown before in this
country, and little, if any, inferior to the
original article. If raised from Cuba seed
the wrapper portion resembles fine Havana
leaf in all its distinctive qualities, while the
tiller appears decidedly better than some of
the genuine Havana used in this country.
The presumption of this assertion is, how
ever, that the seed was originally from a
good locality in Cuba. It is likewise the
case with .Sumatra, Good seed Is a condi
tion sine qua non. For the failure of the
planters in Florida thus far to revive their
tobacco culture is to be ascribed, princi
pally. to the nondescript seed obtained
almost from every tobacco growing Htate
in the Union. Where good seeds, no
bastard-, have been used, the results Were
most satisfactory.
And so impressed were they with the
favorable results of their investigation that
they at once acquired 10,000 acres of land
and formed themselves into “The Florida
Tobacco Producing and Trading Company,”
with a i-apital of SIOO,OOO, and the privilege
to increase it to $500,000.
The incorporators are G. Storm, of the
firm of Stratton & Storm, M. Oppenheimer
and Peter Miller, Jr.
The officers are M. Oppenheimer. Presi
dent; H. A. Banning, Vice President, Peter
Miller. Jr., Treasurer, and Herman A.
Kretsehmar. Secretary. The temporary
New* York office of the company will Lie at
371 Third avenue.
The incorporation papers of this new com
pany, which may very aptly be called the
“Florida Maatechappij." were filed on Sept.
20 at Tallahassee and in Gadsden county, the
old tobacco region. According to the laws of
Florida this company seems to have ac
quired a monopoly for the period of twenty
years.
This, taken in connection with the stand
ing of the gentlemen at the head of the en
terprise, and with the capital at their com
mand, would seem as if they were thoroughly
in earnest.
In a conversation with the President,
M. Oppenheimer, he said that the intention
was to conduct the business of the company
exactly as its title implied. It is proposed
to cultivate tobacco on a large scale, and in
addition thereto, to encourage the general
cultivation of tobacco by procuring the best
seed possible, raising large quantities of
plants under intelligent supervision and dis
tributing some to the planters, so that the
excellence of the product may be reasonably
assured. It is the intention of the company
to engage the services of first class tobacco
raisers from the island of Cuba, as well as
from this country
The company has also intentions of leas
ing farms to new settlers for the purpose of
raising tobacco, on very liberal terms, with
an option of becoming absolute owners of
the same if they so desire.
Mr. W. M. Corry will be the general
superintendent and reside on the plantation
in Florida. This gentleman is well and
favorably known throughout the trade here
as well as in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
having received his tuition from Mr. George
Storm, of the house of Stratton & Storm,
which bespeaks for him a knowledge of no
mean order.
Then it. is proposed to profit by the lesson
Sumatra tobacco has taught us, that people
are wdlling to pay for an article when they
can get exactly what they want. Hence,
the tobacco produced will be assorted with
such perfection as it is impossible to equal
it in anv of the Northern or Western
States. It is proposed to jzartly cure the
tobacco, and then, if necessary, cool it off
by a process well understood. Thus the
tobacco will be in condition to be assorted
as to color, character, size, etc., with an
accuracy never heretofore attempted; then
packed into bales, and so offered to the
trade.
The stock of this company has been
divided among the few parties who had a
knowledge of this project. In other words
no one need apply for it.
