The United States government's snag •mats are nearing completion on the Oemul gee. at Lumber City. This makes five iioats that have been constructed at Lumber City Sn the last two years. The river is so low that steamboating has been suspended for the present. At Ellaville. two very small negro boys Siad a fight on Sunday night, near the edge of town, during which one of them got hoTd of an old musket and planted a bullet behind the ear of the other. The ball penetrated to • depth of three or four inches, but as that Particular spot is not considered a vital one, where Sambo is concerned, it will hardly Jirove fatal in this instance. Both boys were. tinder ten years of age. At Macon a day or so ago, M. Loh, wl[o How live* on Second street, was seen going down Mulberry street. He was accosted by Jfrs. Macbold as he passed her store, and asked where he was going. He replied that be was on his way to dinner She then •“ailed his attention to the fact that ho had moved a few weeks ago to his new home on Second street. By force of habit he was going to the old home where he had lived for almost twenty-seveD years. Brunswick Adrertimr-Appe,ol: We are informed that the government duty on the ship load of iron now unloading at the East Tennessee dock, is only $17,500. Now just ■why the United States should pay $17,300 ♦xtra on that much iron wo can't see. We have beds of iron and coal in abundance, and furnaces on every hand, with a stipera •mndanee of idle labor, then why should English steel rails lie made $17,.300 cheaper on the cargo than American.

John Phillips, a well-to-do farmer of DeKalb county, residing only a few mile* from Decatur, was shot and killed Saturday in the celebrated Ben Smith district of Gwinnett county. Phillips left his farm Priday afternoon late, in his wagon, on his way to Ben Smith's district, for the purpose of attending to some business. It is reported that when ne reached the district he had a difficulty with some men, and that one of them, a man bv the name of Booth, shot him with a rifle, inflicting a wound that caused his death. It is very likely that Gov. Gordon will take some action'in regard to closing the executive offices of the State on next Mon day. He himself has an appointment to deliver an address at the Exposition open ing on Monday afternoon, and the depart ment will probably he closed. The matter has not yet been decided upon, but inas much as there is no good reason why it fcbould not be done, there is every proba bility that the State House departments will do as everything else will do on the ocea fion, temporarily close in honor of the “ledmont Exposition. 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. Clay Foster, .Joseph E Brown, R. P. Trippe, A. M. Speer, W. W. Montgomery, R. F. Lyon, Henry R. Jackson, C. L. Bartlett, Joel A. Billups. J. M. DuPree, J. W. Wal ton, George W, Jordau, A. L. Miller. The 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 Vic FLORIDA. i Next Friday ends the telling of whisky in Columbia county. Chrys ohal Pomar has been reappointed treasurer of St. John's county. The past office at St. Jerome, in St. John's 1 county, has been discontinued. At i,ake (.‘harm ora ■* are assuming a golden color and picking will begin soon. A resilience to cost $50,000 is being built at .St. Augustine for William G. Warden. The official returns are all in at Tampa, and Hillsborough gives the anti-Prohibition ists 2D majority. Another bottling ••stablishment will lie started at St. Augustine soon by a gentle i man from Palatka. The Gee hummock grove of Dr. Foster will yield 12.000 Isixes. and his Rest Haven l gi*ove at I,ake Charm. 2,000. ! Work on the extension of the AL-azar. at i St. Augustine, has 1 sen resumed, and a ! large number of bands taken on Mas* >nic Izodge, 1 onic. No. ok, of Izake Charm, is in a flourishing condition, and constantly adding to its membership. There were 3.000 people at the camp meet ing at Sweetwater last Sunday, mostly from Jacksonville and Ht Augustine. The barbecue of last Saturday at Fort i < fgden was a success far beyond the expee i tations of those who had it in charge. Izake Charm farmers are making large quantities of crab grass hay this fall. They are going to boycott the baled article if possible. The [edition calling for an election on the liquor question in St. John's county is being widely circulated, and is receiving many signatures. The Ht. .Augustine and East Coast Rail way Company, recently chartered, an nounces its intention of commencing opera tions by Oct. 15. There was a very severe hail and rain storm at Izake Charm on Friday. The hail did considerable damage to the young vegetables of our fall gardens. During the school term of 1887 -'BB four sessions of the Volusia County Teachers' Institute will be held. The first will proba bly convene at New Smyrna in November. Owing to the resignation of two more of the Titusville Aldermen there will bean election for a full b>ard of five members on Oct. 34, instead of three as announced here tofore. Friday Dight w-ound up the sale of whisky in Santa Rosa county. The saloon men gave a big barbecue in front of the court house upon the occusion, that all might eat, drink and be merry. It is said that Mr. Flagler has purchased, or negotiated for the purchase of the entire Anderson property. If this lie so it will give him about, fifteen acres additional land m the heart of St. Augustine. Mr. Hotchkiss will soon begin to erect a new building on his property corner First street and Palmetto avenue, Hanford. The building will tie very much the same as the one recently destroyed by Are. A number of shipments of rare tropical plants have recently arrived at the con servatory of Theodore L. Mead. Mr. Mead's grounds are among the most inter esting features of Izake Charm. The money has been raised for the im provement of I,ake Charm; it is to be low ered four feet and the grass and muck cleared away from its edges, a road graded around it and tropical trees set out. J. B. Stetson left Delzand last Thursday forhis home in Philadelphia. While at De- Laud he left plans for the erection of two handsome houses. The one in the Gillen grove is to be Sided with cypress shingles. Fourteen carloads of machinery arrived at Hanford Monday for the Kissimmee sugar mill. The freight on it. by the time it reaches tts point of destination, will very nearly, if not quite, reach the sum of $4,000. The Commissioners of Walton county have ordered an election on the barroom question, a petition signed by nearly 400 voters having been presented to them. There is no bar in the county at present. The elec tion will come off Nov. 5 At a meeting of the citizens of Orange City on Saturday a branch immigration association was organized, and the enroll ment of members was commenced. Dr. H. J. Hammond was chosen President, and George H. Parker Secretary. The Marianna Went. Florida Enquirer was purchased Monday by Oswald Wilson, State Organizer, for the beueflt of the Farmers' Alliance Delegates are arriving for the Fanners’ Alliance meeting, and a large attendance is anticipated. Much im portant business will lie transacted. It was reported on the streets of Milton Saturday morning that Mrs. Bradley’s son had yellow fever, which created some little excitement. A meeting of the Board of Health was called, and I)rs. Pollock, Mills and McDougal were appointed to invest! gate the matter. They reported that the young man was suffering from a laid case of intermittent lever. As the time for holding the municipal election at Ht. Augustine daws near a great deal of interest is being manifested, and candidates for the Mayoralty are almost as thick as a swarin of bees, while candidates for other city offices are too numerous to mention. The following names are men tioned in connection with the Mayoralty: B. F. Oliveros, W. Milford Ingraham, ft. Genovar, Dr. DeWitt Webb, George H. Greeno. F. B. Genovar and Dr. J. K. Rainey. The State Normal School opened at I)e Funiak Springs on Monday with a fair at tendance. Prof. H. N. Felkel, of Talla hassee, is the President. He is assisted by Prof. 11. E. Graham and Miss Lilliun Auter bridge.. The McCormick Collegiate In stit ute, under the charge of Prof. J. E. Me- of Indiana, with three assistants, also began the fall session. Bids are being received for anew building for this school. The attendance at tho public school, which also opened Monday, is larger than ever be fore. Delzand University is to take a foremost place in scientific instruction as well as in other departments. .A fine chemical labora tory is beiiig fitted up on the same plan that is adopted in the Lest Northern institutions. Each student in chemistry will have his own table and apparatus, chemicals, etc., and do independent work under the general supervision of the instructor. It is gener 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. One of Gen. Forrest’s Old Men Lucky. As announced, Mi-. W. A. Barnhill, of this city, held one-tenth of ticket that drew $50,000 in the August drawing of the Louisiana Htate lzottery, and received his money—#s,ooo—promptly through the First National Bank of this city. He is an old tnan, 55 yeai-s of age, and' proposes to manage his fortune so as to live easy, and experience as few of the worries of life as possible. He served through tho late tyar on Gen. N. B. Forrest’s staff, and made a good soldier. Persistent and patient, investing of #1 each month in the Louisiana Htate Lot tery and that the practice he has kept up so long, he proposes to continue. —Jackson (Tcnn.i Tribune and Sun. Aiw. 2ti. 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. FURNISHING GOODS. SHOOT mil HAT! The Straw Hat, We Mean.
