tary. The object of this enterprise was to
take contracts for constructing buildings.
The reason given for bang forced to make
an assignment is that the company has re

able.to carry out on account of the advance
in the price of material and labor. The
liabilities are claimed to be $15,000, with

ing very rapidly. In attempting to throw
the belt off leading from the main shaft to
the press with his hand one of the iron
hooks which connects the two ends of the
belt caught in a heavy plain gold ring on
the third finger of the left hand and jerked
him three feet over the press, tearing the
flesh from tiie finger, dislocating one joint
and breaking another. Fortunately, the
bed and platen were clewed together. Had
they not been, he would have been crushed
into a jelly.
Someone started a rumor at Orlando
Monday that there was a case of yellow
fever within the corporation of Orlando.
The Record took the trouble to trace it to
its source and discovered that there was no
foundation for the report. The facts in the
case are as follows: Early Monday morning
Officer Jenkins of the police force, reported
to the Mayor that there was a man lying
sick at the bouse of Mr. Yates, about a mile
west of town, and that he had better inves
tigate the matter. The Mayor immediately,
in company with Dr. R. M. Dickinson, went
to the Yates house and interviewed the
man, who had just returned from fishing in a
lake near the house. He had been there
since Monday of last week, having arrived
that day from St. Cloud, just below Kis
simmee. He has hail a slight attack of
bilious remittent fever, and had so far re
covered as to be able to go fishing Monday.
Dr. Dickinson stated to a representative of
the Record that the case did not present the
slightest evidence of yellow fever, and that
it was simply an exceedingly mild form of
bilious remittent fever, caused by the man’s
imprudent exposure of himself.
At Ocala the excitement over the fever is
over, everybody is calm, collected and re
served. E. A. Meador, who is roadmaster
for the Florida Railway and Navigation
Company, was telling to a fever excited
crowd, Sunday morning, near Wright &
Frazier's drug store, of his experience at
Plant City. He was awakened out of a
sound slumber Saturday morning at his
hotel by someone in tho next room vomit
ing violently. He got frightened, got up,
got an engineer and with an engine went
five miles out of town and slept under a tree.
He thought the party had yellow fever.
The next day he came to Ocala. Someone
in the crowd told one of the inspectors
that he came from Tampa. Mr Meador
was put undor arrest at his boarding house
till a straight story was heard when he was
liberated. He got it into his head that Will
Hopkins, the Florida Railway and Naviga
tion Company’s ticket agent at Ocala, put
up the job, and something serious would
have grown out of it, but friends interfered.
Someone said Saturday that Ocala had a
case of yellow jacket. Another party re
ported it to Gainesville. They telegraphed
back for particulars, and when hunted to
its hole, the story was traced to a rich
cream-colored darkey who had a fever, out
of which grew the “yellow fever” and great
excitement.
At Dade City at the close of the polls
Monday night the most intent interest was
manifested as to the result. At sundown
the polls were dosed and in at>out twenty
minutes the results were made known —the
“dry” majority being (J. The “drys” chal
lenged a number of the votes of
the railroad hands, and one arrest was
made. About a dozen will be ar
rested These are principally hands on
the Orange Belt railroad whom the
drys claim to be non-residents. Many
negroes were scared from the j sills by tbe
vigorous watch kept by* the “drys.” Some
were not allowed to vote who had not even
l>eeu in that precinct, but who had come in
from other precincts and registered. The
Dade City precinct does not touch the
Orange Belt. A number of votes will be
contested by the Prohibitionists. Tbe
“wets” say that they w ill contest the pre
cinct as some of their voters were not al
lowed to vote. The returns up to a late
hour Monday night make it very* doubtful
as to the status of the comity. It
is reported that both sides at San Antonio
agreed that the non resident, lion-taxpaying
negroes should not be allowod to vote. The
“wets” were a little disappointed in receiv
ing only 42 majority in that precinct. Tho
report that ftiuhland went 25 “wet” was a
blow to the drys, as they expected the vote
to balance there. The four precincts not
heard from are on the coast and are small,
but expected to give an almost solid dry
vote. On these precincts will hang the
final results. The Women’s Christian Tem
perance Union gave a dinner at the polls in
Dade City, and it was generally conceded
that it was its influence that carried the day
in the city.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1887.
DR. HALL'S OFFER
Of 100,000 Acres of Georgia Lands to
Irish Emigrants.
Macon (Go I Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
The announcement that is going the
rounds of the Georgia press, that Dr. J. H.
Hall, of Jacksonville, will give away
100,000 acres of Georgia lands to suffering
Irish who will emigrate to this country has
excited considerable interest in this section
of the country.
To-day your correspondent interviewed
Col. A. G. Butt, who has an extensive
knowlege of the land interests of Southern
and Central Georgia. Col. Butt said:
“I cannot account for the extent of Dr.
Hall’s claim unless it antedates the existing
order of things. I know the landed inter
est of Georgia pretty well, and I know of
no sucli enormous body of land owned by
any one man in the State.”
'"‘Are not the Tifts, of Tifton and Albany,
about the largest holders of pine lands?”
“They were, but they have sold out a
great deal of their lands. A few years ago
N. A. Tift, of Albany, and H. H. Tift, of
Tifton, were among the largest holders of
timber land in the pine belt."
The talk then drifted into the old bead
right system, and Col. Butt explained why
there are still large bodies of land claimed
bv Northern and Western parties under
those old deeds.
“You must know," said he, “that there
was a great deal of crookedness in the land
surveys of Georgia about the time of the
famous Yazoo fraud.
“Between the years 1780 and 1790 irre
sponsible parties laid claim to enormous
bodies of land under this system. These
transactions were confined to about one
fourth of the State, that portion lying east
of a line beginning at the Florida line and
including all the lands east of the second
and third districts of old Wayne, up to the
Altamaha river. From thence up the
Altamaha to the Oconee, thence up the
Oconee to the Appalachee, thence across to
Hog mountain and across to the Month
Carolina line at Tugalo river to the mouth
of Panther creek.
“The method was to go and establish a
head right at a given point, and from that
point lay claim to as much land os the per
son wished to claim without ever putting a
compass or chain to it. Here are some facts
from a slip that I had printed some years
ago for the information of Western and
Northern holders of these old ‘head rights:’ ”
The public domain of Georgia was disposed of
originally by bead rights or grants, not exceed
ing 1,000 acres by careful survey, to each bead
of a family and actual settler. This continued
until 1803, when it was discovered that the most
gigantic frauds had been practiced upon tbe
State.
Tbe lottery system was then adopted, and
the property of the commonwealth, as it were,
gambled away to its lasting disgrace and
pecuniary injury.
Hon. Absalom Chappell, in his “Historical
Notes on Georgia.” exposes very fully the
enormous frauds which were perpetrated under
the head right system. Thus the following ex
tract made from the statement of the Surveyor
General to the Finance Commission, composed
of Judge Berrien, Judge Wm. W. Holt and Mr.
Chappell himself, conveys the following
astounding results in the five counties we shall
quote from.
Let us first give the actual area of the coun
ties referred to:
Montgomery county contains, acres.... 407,680
Washington county contains, acres 416,720
Franklin county contains, acres. 499,200
Glynn county contains, acres 263,440
Wilkes county contains, acres 828,840
Total, actual area 1,900,880
Now look upon this picture. There were
issued grants for each of these counties asper
the maps and records on file in the proper office,
in acres, for
Montgomery county 7,436,975
Washington county 5,018,058
Franklin county 5,126,548
Glynn county 1,178,375
Wilkes county 2,224,720
Total amount of acres granted... 20,984,886
Thus were grants sufficient issued for these
five counties alone to cover more than half of
tbe entire territory of the State. The total of
the fraudulent grants was 18,801,256 acres.
The bulk of these frauds occurred from 1785
to 1795, and the bogus grants bearing the
genuine seal of the State were disposed of
abroad to Ignorant or thieving purchasers, and
some of them are at this time being manipu
lated by parties in Georgia, Baltimore, New
York and perhaps other places, and put upon
the market to tlie prejudice of the true head
right grants, and to the lottery land grants,
which are known to he genuine good titles.
“Governor Jenkins’ opinion was that no
man was entitled to more than 1,000 acres,
and he must be an actual settler and bead
of a family." ,j
“Is it possible that this can offer a solu
tion of Dr. Hall’s claims?”
“Ah, that we can’t tell. It may or may
not, and about that the claimant knows
best himself. As 1 said at the outset, the
idea of ono man’s holding bona lido titles to
such a princely domain anywhere in Geor
gia sounds preposterous. It certainly does
not lie in Central Georgia, as to-day’s pa
pers have it, and I doubt if it lies in the
piny woods section.”
ONLY A DREAM.
The Graphic Story Told by Col. Frank
Flynt, and What Led to It.
From the Griffin (Ga.) Sun.
It will be remembered that our colt re
porter, CoL Frank Flynt, was down with
the rheumatism several months last winter,
and during that period time pressed heavily
upon him.
It was during the early part of his sick
ness that tho little incident occurred which
we are now about to relate. We have the
story from Col. Flynt’s own lips, and can
vouch for it, every word.
“During the early part of my sickness,”
says the Colonel, “I took great quantities of
quinine and dovers powders to break up
my cold. In a short while my head began
to ache and throb, together with a ceaseless
roaring like tho echoes of distant artilierv
or the eruption of gome volcano, all of
which tended to make me about as miser
able a lieing as one would care to look upon.
Every noise seemed to magnify ten fold,
while the passing of vehicles outside would
send their echoes fox-chasing each other
through my brain in such rapid succession as
to make the whole thing seem a veritable
inferno. On the afternoon of the third day,
when this pandemonium was at its height,
and just as I had resolved to do something
desperate, sweet sleep came to my aid. Just
how long I slept I don’t know, but I remem
ber hearing someone say ‘Well, Uncle
Tom, don’t fail to bring me that rabbit as
promised.’ 1 tell you, it was as plain ns life.
Virions of rabbit stew and fry floated before
myVision, and it seemed that even then my
nostrils were greeted by the savory smell.”
Here CoL Flynt stopped to explain that
Uncle Tom Harper was a noted rabbit
catcher in this section, anil that he gener
ally supplied the town in season. Continu
ing with his story, the Colonel said:
"After that I dropped buck to sound sleep
again, but how long I slept I don’t know. I
was nwnkened by the opening of a gate, and
looking around I found myself in an un
familiar place. The scene was beautiful
beyond description, and I had just begun to
think that I had been transported to some
fairy land when I heard a voice say,
‘Enter, Uncle Tom, and welcome,’ and
looking around I beheld my old
friend Tom Harper. With his fare
wreathes! in smiles he was just about to
enter the pearly gates when a rabbit
jumped from iu hiding place and skipped
down the pathway. Forgetful of his mis
sion, Uncle Tom started in hot pursuit of
the rabbit, but whether be caught himorriot
I could not tell. The gates were closed with
a bang, a hand rudely placed on my shoul
der and a voire said: ‘Como, Frank, old
fellow, take this quinine capsule—there’s
only ten more left.’ For the first time I re
alized that I had not been to heaven, but
had only been in dreamland.”
A process for the instantaneous generation
of steam has lately been patented in Eng
land by John Blum. Remarkable claims
are made for its economy. It will save 53
per cent, in fuel, Uti per cent, in boiler space
and (HI per cent in the cost of plant. More
over, by its use a boiler explosion becomts
an impossibility.
The Negro and the Bear.
From the Americus (Go ) Republican.
When this country was first settled the
swamps abounded with bears, deer, and all
other game, and it wan t uncommon to
meet a liear on the highroa l as one traveled
about. An old negro, named Pomp, who j
belonged to one of the rich men of this sec- j
tiou. who was half the time depredating on
the chicken roosts of the farmers, and the |
other half hunting po-sums or coons in the i
swamps, left home one bright moonlight
night to git a "varmint.” As
he trudged along the highway his dogs
took to the woods, leaving the
darkey wandering down the “middle of the
road.” Presently he saw a huge bear
coming from the opposite direction, meeting
him. He looked around for his dogs, gave
a whistle, and then fell on his ktu>es and
earnestly prayed: “Oh, Gawd, old Pomp
never troubles yer much, but now he axes
yer to help him all ver ken, for he needs it,
so please help me. If you can’t helpdis uig
fer, den, for de Lord s sake, don’t help de
’nr, for he is a mighty hefty feller. Jes‘
stan’ aside and look on, Lawd, for dar’s
gwine ;ter be the d — fight here, de
first ting yer know, dat yer ever seed.”
By this time the bear had got close
enough to see the strange position ot the
nigger, had stopped and eyed him a second
or two. then raised on his hind feet * and
waltzed in for a hug. Old Pomp pulled a
long knife and pranced around to keep out
of reach of the bear, until his foot slipped,
and he fell, the bear jumping on him. He
began a yell that frightened bruin,
and about that time the dogs rushed
up and the bear retreated in quick
time with the howling pack at his
heels. As they went into the woods Pomp
crawled upon his feet muttering- “D—
--aein dogs, jes as I was gwine ter kill dat
bar, dey comes wid dere fuss and skeers
him so dat de dobbil couldn't kotch him.
Dis nigger is gwine back hum, possum and
coon wouldn’t taste good arter missen bar
meat,” and ho turned tail to his dogs, and
ran for home as fast as possible, leaving his
hat and bearing several huge scratches
from the bear’s daws.

JJaby Humors
And All Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.
Our little son will be four years of age on the
25th inst. In May. 1885, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in a physician who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physiciaD to be hives in aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda hi water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 20th of last July, when we began to give him
Cumcum Rksolvent internally, and the Cuti
cintx Soap externally, and by tne last, of August
he was so nearly well that we gave him only one
dose of the Resolvent about every Becond day
for about ten days longer,and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible maludy. In all
we used less than one half of a bottle of GTti
ccra Resolvent, a little less than one box of
Cuticura, and only one cake of CuncfmA Soap.
