Prohibition, Augusta railroad, and other so-called agencies for re trogression and depreciation in values seem to have a contrary effect. Mr. Happ will at once build a handsome residence for a home. Gov. Gordon has about concluded his re view of the evidence in the case of the State versus the convict lease system or lessees, and waiting upon the Attor ney General. Nothing has been heard from the Attorney General in three or four days, and it is not definitely known how far he has progressed with the legal decision in the case. As soon as he concludes, the’?

Dodd picked up one of the badges out of the peilaler’s tray ami started off without paying for it. “See here, you want to pay for that badge," called out the pertA 1 "*. Dodd's only re sponse was to tap the peddler on the jaw with his fist. In return Hubin started to strike Dodd, when the latter drew a pistol. Before he could make use of it, however. Patrolman Nolan gathered him in ami escorted him to the lockup, where cases of disorderly conduct and carrying concealed weapons were made against him. The Atlanta Construction Company made an assignment Tuesday to John C. Kimball. This company was organized about a year ago by the election of \V. H. Parkins, a prominent architect of that city, as President, and J. A. Barnes, Secre 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 cently taken several contracts that it is un 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 SIO,OOO assets. The principal creditors, as so far made public, are: The Willingham Lumber Company, $1,000; the Chattahoo chee Brick Company, $1,000; T. L. Flos sett, $2,000; Sneed & Cos., of Irondale, SI,OOO, and the First National Bank of Sheffield, $2,000. FLORIDA. St. Augustine hue quarantined against *1) points south of her. B. Larkin, of Alligator, killed three boars and two deer last week, San Francisco consumes more Key West cigars than any other city of its size in the country. The colored school, of West Orlando opened Monday with 149 scholars and two teachers. A party for Swedish immigrants only was recently given at New Upsala, near Sanford. The South Florida railroad has reduced the price of all its lauds 40 per cent, below graded prices. Efforts are being made by the Methodists of Bt. Augustine to have the Rev. 8. D. Paine assigned to the church there. The South Florida railroad has established its own hospital within the quarantine lines, with Dr. Caldwell, of Sanford, In charge. In case an election is called at Bt. Au gustine on the liquor question, the ladies nave made arrangements to be at the polls in force. It was a Pensacola boy—Adrian B.

The taxable property of Orange county, as estimated by Tax Assessor W. C. Nutt, will amount to about $4,750,000. The State levy will be 4% mills, and for county uses 0 mills—tOX mills all told—probably the lowest tax rate in the State. W. N. Parker, a grocer of North City, a suburb of St. Augustine, has made an as signment to W. O. Ponce. A loose credit system is said to be the cause. Mr. Ponce expects that the assets will give the credi tors about 20c. on the dollar. < At the election at Brooksville, Monday, Charles Bowden, a young dry goods met - chant, was elected Mayor, against J. C. Preston, by 22 majority. John Steel was elected Marshal, over NT. B. Rhodes, the present Mayor. The Aldermen were all on the straight temperance ticket, as was the Mayor and Marshal. The entire ticket is composed of young men. Dr. King Wylly, on the part of the Orange County Board of Health, has had placed a perfect cordon of guards along the line of Hillsborough county, and it is next to impossible for any one to passthrough. Guards are ou duty day and night. Dr. Wylly says he has done everything that human ingenuity can devise to protect the county,- and if Orlando is well cleaned and kept so, there is nothing to fear. A daughter of E. S. Sevey, of Orlando, aged 12 years, who was bitten Sunday night by a very singular looking hairy worm, came near losing her life. The worm was on her neck, and on attempting to take it off it stung her in several places by burying its claws in the skin. In a very short time her face and neck were badly swollen, showing evidence of severe poisoning, accompanied with groat pain. Dr. Lawrence was called in ana Monday she was considered out of danger. H. A. Fuller, of Pensacola, received a telegram from Tampa Monday, announcing that the steamer Cumberland had been in tercepted and her cargo discharged at a point below that city. In the event of a continuance of the epidemic at Tampa, pro viding Manatee will not do for the line's southern terminus, which is proliable, Mr. Fuller contemplates running the steamer between Pensacola and St. Andrew's Bay, carrying passengers and freight to and fro, arriving at and departing from each place on alternate days. Charles H. Pratt, city editor of the Pa latka Herald, met with a very painful ac cident Monday that came near ending in his death. He was engaged in feeding a job on a quarto medium Gordon press. The engine had a full head of steam on and was turn 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. A ’Possum for Cleveland. From the Atlanta ((To.) Constitution. Howard Horton, the fat, greasy, black negro whose voice has echoed and re-echoed through the Fourth wai-d iu many a politi cal campaign, stood in front of "the Kim ball last night saying: “Here’s one 'publican colored voter who is patiently waitin’ for President Cleveland, sure.” “And why are you waiting for him, How ard?” asked someone present. “Why is I waitin’? ’Cause J has got just even thirteen fat juicy ’possums, and l’s agwine to dress one of dem wid particular pains for dat man, an’ I knows he’ll eat it You can bet dat lOttr-legged bird will be put up ’cording to queens tusto, and don I’s going to cook it, too. Does you guess do President wili oat it?” “Can’t tell.” “Well, if ho don’t eat it he ain’t no Demo crat for sure. ’Cause all Democrats likes possum. It am de sweetest meat in de world and Democrats know what is good. I’U bet a possum dat de President will eat it.” Postal Changes.

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. ounce ha remedies” 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. H. E. RYAN, Cayuga, Livingston Cos., 111.
