A valuable mineral spring has been dis covered near Hampton. At Ringgold William Maotus is in jail charged with outraging his 2-year-old daughter. The Marietta and North Georgia railroad has applied for the bonds under the act of the last. Legislature. Anew Missionary Baptist Association was constituted at Zion Hope Church, in Irwin county, Sunday. The Supremo Court commenced under the new rule Monday, and held six hours sea- ' sion. To-day there will be no session. Crops around Ik-ary are about all gath- j ered in. Corn is much better than was expected, and cotton about au average. It is generally believed that Colonel John S. Candler will he appointed as Solicitor- General of the Stone Mountain Circuit . The County Alliance of Schley county, at a meeting, elected delegates to the meeting to be held in Americus on Nov. 10 to or ganize a State Farmers’ Alliance. The County Commissioners have sold the old court house at, Mcßae to the highest, bidder, J. R. Chapman, for $ 1 MO. The new court house will be completed by Dec. 1. At Baxley Sunday a negro brakeman had his hand mashed by a car bumper, taking off three fingers." He was coupling the cars and his hand was caught between the bumpers. Worth Superior Court adjourned Friday evening. There was but a small amount of business transacted during the week’s session—in fact, less than a dozen cases altogether. There was what came near being a seri ous collision at Baxley Sunday. The engine of one freight train ran into the cab of another. No one was hurt, but several cars were smashed up. Col. Iverson will erect a storehouse at Zebulon soon. From present indications a building boom will strike the town next spring. Dr Head will put up a first-class drug store. A movement is on foot to build a warehouse also. J. P. Bledsoe, on C. B. Wooten’s home place near Leary says he made with eight plows 108 bale., of cotton, 1.000 bushels of corn, fifteen barrels of syrup, together with fair potato crop. This crop was grown on a common piece of land, using twelve tons of guano. At Leary, Frank Byrd, colored, was arrested and placed in the lock-up Sunday night charged with stealing $lO from George Grimes, colored, in Albany last week. Grimes claimed that he stole $25, but he will only admit taking $lO from Grimes’ pocket. Bill Mobly, colored, was run over and killed at H. C. Williams’ mill, at Duke’s, six miles from Waycross, Monday. Mobly was on the engine, trying to cross "to the flat car, when he fell, and the engine cut him in two and he died instantly. His remains were carried to Valdosta. Hon. Robert U. Hardeman. State Treas urer, received Monday the following gen eral taxes: Bartow county, $000; Mitch ell county, $500; Dade county, $500; Cal houn county $440 —total $-,040. Mr. Harde man has ordered a No. 1 pair of “Tucka paw” pants from New Orleans. In Wilcox county a few days ago two children of James Owen were seriously scalded. There was a boiler in the yard, wherein some water was being heated, and the children were at play around it, when one shoved the other down, overturning the boiler, and both were thus thrown in the water and badly burned. At Ellaville Monday the Sheriff arrested a negro by the name of Will Farrish on a bench warrant from Marion county, charg ing him with an immoral offense. The id leged offense was committed with a young white woman living in Marion county. The neighborhood is very indignant at the developments in the case. At Newnan the removal of Dr. Tucker from the editorial staff of the Christian index has caused considerable feeling among the Baptists. At a meeting of the Ladies’Mission.at Society of the Baptist church, Monday, resolutions condemning the management of the Index were iiiiani mously passed, and it was agreed to discon tinue the paper. A cutting affray occurred at Waycross Sunday night between two negroes, named William and Charley. Cause, Charley ac cused William of stealing five cents. Char ley struck William several blows in the face, and William returned the blows, when Charley drew his knife, cutting William in the side, making a gash five or six inches long. William will recover. William Killehrew, the impostor preacher who escaped from jail at Mcßae, Sept. 16 last, was re-captured Sunday morning bv Sheriff Mcßae near Alapaha, and had the gleasure of occupying his old cell in the jail unday night. His latest alias was Charles Holmes, and he has been preaching, borrow ing money, trying to marry, and having a large time generally since his escape. While detective Rhodes was waiting for a train at Macon on which to carry his prisoner. United States Marshal Bledsoe, to Florida, he placed his requisition and other papers in the hands of Jailer Birdsong for safe keeping. He went off forgetting them, and they are yet in the jailor’s possession. If Bledsoe hail only known this a writ of habeas corpus could have secured his release at any place on the road. The desperation of the Atlanta liquor men is shown in the way t.liev distort the figures about tax sales. They publish in several places “700 sales,” when in reality there were only 220 But observe further: The general tax sales are advertised each year in October and November. The facts are that there has been a steady decrease in the number of these sales since 1885. Here are the number: Advertised for sale in ISBS, 640: in 1886, 619; in 1887, 591. And this is not all. The number of tax ti. fas. issued by the|city have decreased :539. And thus is punctured another anti-prohibition bubble. Monday a firm vacated a building in Americus which it had used for the past thirty-five years. Thirty-five years ago G. C. Cameron, who died last year, built himself a carpenter shop in a grove of trees in the then small village of Americus. The shop stood on the same spot that the present Cameron shop is on, immediately liaclc of Tab Oliver’s carriage shop. At one time Mr. Cameron did the largest business in Americus. Being one of the oldest residents and a good workman, his services were in demand far and near. As his building grew old he erected anew one over the spot, but it passed to other hands in 1880, and when he died his sons took up the business. Mon day they vacated the old place, which they and them father bad used for so many years. For some years a sly old fox has held residence in and around the premises of Judge Green Brantley, north of Sanders ville, and although affording the hunters much sport through many races, has al ways managed to evade the pursuei-s. So frequently had he been seen during the past five years, that he had been named, anil was familiarly known as “Old Jerry.” His career, however, has ended; a party of hun ters, comprised of Irwin L. Adams, R. F. Walters. Jenks J. Tanner, Richard Schofield and W. Gordon Smith, after run ning his foxship ten and a half hours one day last week, succeeded in catching him. Three dog?—Strap, owned by Adams, Nel he and Spot, owned by Waters made the entire run and came in at the finish in the ii A 6-months-old pupny of Mr. waters ran eight hours. Mr. Smith's aogs onlv came into the race about a half hour before the finish, &ud greatly aided in it® rapid conclusion, Capt. J. 51. Johnston Monday received a letter from a gentleman in Connecticut, asking about the proposed movement to buy and present Mr. Davis with a residence in Macon. The writer was a Northern man, but claimed ail acquaintance with and friendship for Mr. Davis, and expressed the liotie that the movement would be success ful. Secretary Altnmyer, of the Traveler’s Protective Association, Monday received a letter dated at Beauvoir, from Mr. and Mrs. Davis, expressing grateful thanks to the association for their carriage, which they placed at Mr. Davis’ disposal during hixstav in Macon. The letter is couched in beau tiful terms, and is highly appreciated bv the drummers. While at Beauvoir, Capt. John L. Hardeman was given a bot tle of wine made by Mrs. Davis to lie brought home to his mother, Mrs. Thomas Hardeman. While Mrs. Davis was in Ala con, she called on Mrs. Hardeman, at her home in Vineville, and while there Mrs. Hardeman related the circumstances of their first meeting, which occurred in Washington liefore the war. Mr. Davis was in the Henute and Col. Hardeman was in the House. They met at a reception. Mrs. Davis wore a bonnet of the then pre vailing style which provoked from a per sonage the side remark which was over heard by the two ladies that it was a sky scraper or a coal scuttle, later in the evening this personage, whose name was Wright, met Mrs. Davis and was profuse in his compliments, but remembering I.is criti cism of her bonnet she decided to retaliate, and turning to Mrs. Hardeman introduced him as Mr. Poke Wright, lie quickly re joined, “My name is not Poke Wright, but Allen Wright.” it was now Mrs. Davis’ turn and she reminded him of the skyscraper bonnet, and remarked that, ho deserved the name because he was always txiking into other people’s affairs. When Mrs Harde man reminded Mrs. Davis the other day of the incident, bho remembered it, and both ladies enjoyed the recollection of their bright Washington days. FLORIDA. The Sanford Journal has been enlarged. The hotels all show signs of reviving busi ness. A debating society has been organized at Anthony. It was three years yesterday since Palat ka’s big fire. The Walton county vote stands as follows; Dry, 819; wet, 96. William Fisher, of Lawtey, has been granted an increase of pension. Prof, Abbot, of Crawfordsville, Inil., was elected principal of the Anthony schools. Prof, M, D. Hinkle, of Lisbon, la., is the new principal of the Gainesville public school. The pupils of the Quincy Academy have procured an organ, ami will now be taught “calisthenics.” At Daytona Dr. Hardman's hotel. Sunny side, will open on Nov. 15. The Ocean View House has opened for the win ter. The height of the inlet lighthouse is plainly visible at Daytona; it can lie seen under ordinary circumstances twenty miles out at sea. Olay county has 858 white pupils and 203 colored; 37 "white schools and 7 colored. .Schools are now in session for this term. Halary of teachers from S3O to $75 per month. The trustees of Green Cove School have employed Rev. D. L. Branning as Principal for the present term, (this school has sixty pupils), with salary of $75 per month. The county needs better school houses. The I’alatka News says that it is rumored that a ship canal is to c >nnoet St. Augus tine and Palatka, that Mr. Flagler is inter ested in it, and that St. Augustine is de termined to get the benefit of the railroads centreing in ralatka. A considerable addition is being made to the store of Messrs. Matthews & Thomp son, at Daytona. These gentlemen will move into the Thompson block when it is completed. Their present store will be occupied by Messrs. Milburn and Stock wood. The Hillsborough County School Board has decided to increase the public school term from five to six months. There are now two high schools in the county —one at Tampa, conducted by Prof. 11. C. Graham, and another at Plant City, to be conducted by Prof. Burney. Tlio saw mill of Mitchell Renz, at Bridge port, is now turning out lumber, and has orders ahead for several houses to bo erected at once, among which is the large boarding house of Jacob Hoehstrasser, of Berne, N. Y., and the large bouse of I. H. Watkins, formerly from Ohio. Daytona mourns the loss of one of her oldest and most esteemed citizens. On Thursday last, at 10:15 o’clock, Dr. Huston, niter an illness of only a few days duration, breathed his last. His death was caused by intermittent billious fever, brought on by exposure to the sun. Dr. Huston was Chairman of the Board of County Com missioners. An office for the Ponce de loon Hotel, St. Augustine, has lieen opened in the Pottier & Stvmus building, 491 Fifth avenue. A large, water color paiuting of the building is exhibited, also plans of the house, and etchings of the grounds, the Alcazar and surroundings. Hotel people have called to view and inspect the plans of the finest hotel in the world. Previous to 1887 there has been but one school in operation in Dade county. That was organized at Lake Worth, in 1885, and has been open for two seasons. But Dade county with but one school within her limits is a thing of the past. There will, doubtless, be five in operation for a term of five months, during the coming winter.three in the Biscayne bay region, one at Lake Worth and one at Jupiter Inlet. A burglar broke into the house of J. L. Southwell, at Bridgeport, Sunday afternoon between 8 and 5 o'clock, and ransacked the whole house, opened all trunks, bureaus, etc., and stole all of Mrs. Southwell’s clothing, even go her shoes. The strange part of it Is that nothing belonging to Mr. Southwell is missing, so far as can be now learned, but a razor. The case will be fully investigated, and the guilty, if found, will get the full benefit of the law. The Duval County Teachers’ Association, No. 1, met at the Jacksonville Graded School (“Stanton”) on Saturday. After the usual opening exercises the constitution was read, and the names of the new teachers present enrolled as members of the associa tion; Then followed the election of officers for the ensuing year. Their names are as follows: President, Prof. William Artrell: Vice President, A. F. White; Secretary, Mrs. M. C. C. Smith; Treasurer, Mrs. H. L. Johnson. At Daytona Thursday morning the T. V. White got up steam and took a short trial trip to test her machinery; with but forty five pounds of steam she showed a very fail rate of speed. Everything worked in a most satisfactory manner, and Sunday she steamed down the river towards New Smyrna, Mr. Jackson, her owner, and Capt. Sams, of New Smyrna, being on board. The steamer Clara now makes the trip from Daytona to Rock ledge every Mon day, Wednesday and Friday, returning on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. . The T. V. White and Clara will shortly make the trip alternate days, giving a daily service down the river. The cargo of the steamship Panama, which was cast overboard near Sebastian, Oct. 31, was sold Friday by Capt. Thomas S. Eells, underwriters’ agent for the coast of Florida. About 150 persons were on the beach, and the scene was quite novel. The salvors, some thirty-six in number, had their collection strongly guarded to prevent theft, and felt relieved when the time of the sale arrived. The salvors were allowed 50 per cent, of what they had saved, and what remained was sold at remarkably low figures. X. H. Ray &C0.,0f Titusville, bought 132 tierces of lard at $5 per tierce, also several barrels of varnish at $7 per barrel. Good calico sold for lc. per yard and fine muslin brought.sc\ Capt. Eells mlized about SBOO THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 9, 1887. from the sale. There was very little of the cargo left on the shore Friday morning, the salvors in many instances strained a point and carried oil all the merchandise they could handle. The task was a difficult one, as it had to be carried over a mile across a piece of scrub land from the coast to the Indian river, where it was loaded on sloops and lugged off. Scarcely one-tenth of the vessel’s cargo was left for the underwriters’ agent to dispose of. STRUGGLE WITH A PANTHER. Two Rabun County Men Meet With an Unwelcome Object. John Patterson and James Arrandale, while on their return from North Carolina, were attacked by a large panther, about one half mile from Clayton, (fla.) Patterson having lived in a county infested with this ferocious beast took in the situation at once. It seems that the animal fell u|mn Patterson for its prey, due to the fact, no doubt, that he attempted flight upon its discovery. The struggle that ensued, and the frantic effort of Patterson to extricate himself from the clutch of his unexpected assailant, was witnessed by his partner. The huge beast, with glaring eyes, sprang with its forepaws upon Mr. Patterson, circling him with a hug which almost bulged out his eyes The panther would first shake itself to one side and then to the other, evidently with the purpose of throwing its victim to the ground. Patterson knew that if be fell he would be instantly torn to pieces, so leaning against a chestnut tree by which he stood, he did his best to poise him self so as to maintain his balance. After hard endeavors he managed to get his knife from liis pocket, which he opened by clasp mg arms around the panther's body. In doing so be had to squeeze the animal sharply. The panther seemed to catch the idea of the old “backhand wrestle” from this movement, and entwining its hind legs around Patterson's waist, there was for a minute or two as pretty a wrestling match as was ever witnessed on the arena. It ended in a "dogfall.” both coming down at once, and rolling over each other. Arrandale, in the meantime, was not idle. Ho was unarmed, and for a moment was in a quandary as to what to do. He saw no means of attacking the animal, but was too brave to think of deserting his friend in such ail emergency. He ran over the ground looking for some weapon. It seemed as if the ground had been swept of every oft'en si ve object. At last he found a long piece of granite, sharpened on one side and heavy on the other. With this he determined upon a hand-to-hand struggle with the monster. Running up just in time to find his friend giving away from exhaustion, he delivered one stunning blow on the panther's head. This attack, from an unexpected quarter, evidently aroused the fear of the panther, for releasing its embrace upon Patterson, it marie one spring across the road, and with a piercing cry disappeared in the dense forest beyond. As soon as Patterson had recovered suffi ciently to do so, the journey home was con tinued. He did not sustain a scratch, but says that from the vice-like grip of the panther, lie feels as if every Done in his body had been broken. The panther on the night following occupied the front yard of Mrs. York, a widow lady. She hail no arms of attack, but had to close doors, bars windows, and sit up in terror all night, while the beast outside filled the air with its mournful lamentations. Was It a Contract. Editors Macon (On.) Telegraph: My at tention has recently been called to the fact that the State of Georgia, in 1861, invited her citizens who were officers in the United States army and navy to resign their com missions and enter the service of the State. The following circular from Henry C*. Wayne, then Adjutant General, inclosing a copy of the ordinance of the convention, was addressed to a captain in the United States army, who afterward became a major general in the Confederate army, anil who was then and is now a citizen of this State; CIRCULAR. Execctive Department, 1 Adjutant General's Office, v Milledgeviu.k. Ua., July 30, 1801. I Sir—l send you for information the annexed copy of an ordinance passed by the convention of the State of Georgia on the 35th of January, 1861. Very rcspectf ally your obedient servant. Henry C. Wayne, Ad’jt. Gen. ’l. An Ordinance Concerning Officers of the ARMy and Navy. Whereas, Certain officers of the army and navy of the United States, citizens of the State of Georgia, impelled by patriotic motives, have already resigned their appointments and ten dered their services to the State; and whereas, others may desire to make the same tender. Be it ordained by the people of Georgia in convention assembled. That all such officers who have resigned for the purpose aforesaid, or have made such offer, and all those on the active list who may resign and make such ten der of services within such time as circum stances may permit, shall he received into the service of the State, and shall be appointed and commissioned by the Governor to the same relative rank in the army and navy of Georgia, which they held under the government of the United States, and shall receive the same pay from their entrance into service as they were entitled to at the time of their resignations. Provided, That the Governor of this State shall employ such officers in the service to which they may lie respectively attached in such manner as in his jiigdment "the public exi gencies may require. George W. Crawford, Attest; President of the Convention. A. R. Lamar, Secretary. The question arises, if the State of Geor gia by the terms of this circular and ordi nance did not enter into a contract with those who resigned their commissions in the army and navy and entered her service to retain them permanently with the work and pay to which they were entitled in the regular army and navy. If so, then it is the duty of the State to comply with this contract. These men were thrown upon the world, in many instances, without resources, and some of them have had a hard fight to keep the wolf from their elixirs from the close of the war until the present. If the Confederacy had succeeded they would have been provided for. As it failed is it not obligatory upon the State to keep the terms of the contract she made with them and pay them accordingly? This matter is worthy the attention of the people of Georgia and should commend itself to the conscience of the State. Justice. Two Tough Terriers. From a New York Letter. New York produces grim children in some of its wards. I was attracted by a3- year-old sample of the gutter haunter. He wore a checkered dreas and stood 28 inches high in his bare feet. An indescribable liat with a portion of visor was pulled down hard over one eye, so that only the other eye was used in watching the way of the world. He was evidently a very serious young gentlemen. He paused in effort to make a younger sister of his stand on her head in a puddle of water to shout, “hey, dere!”to a very square, high-hipped gray horse that a man was leading along tho Street. The horse was caught by surprise, and he let his heels fly to show his timidity. He thereby yanked the young mail who w as leading him nearly off his feet. Tho latter cast a terrible look at the author of the trouble and said: •‘Say, young feller, wots der matter wid you?” The quite “young feller” looked back with a fearful scorn and replied: “I’m loaded, dat’s what's der matter w-id me. Say, mister, do you know wot’s der matter wid you? Yer too fresh, dat's wot’s der matter wid you." By this time the man had passed out of bearing, and he only turned to his now thoroughly calm beast and said: “Dein is" tough terriers,” And just at that moment the 3-year old rounder had his smaller sister suc cessfully standing on her head in the pud dle.
