the sobriquet of the champion farmer of

of cotton, beside*- an immense quantity of
com. and from this production will clear
above all expenses near fifty bales of cotton.

tracted considerable attention Tuesday near

ing behind every monument he came to. No

received an ugly wound on his back, break
ing several of liis rilis. It is supposed that
he had been struck by a night train. He
w-as taken to town and his foot was ampu
tated by Drs I x-e ami Sanders. He was so
weak from the loss of blood and his wounds
that he could not tell how he received his
injuries. He was identified as being Scab
Jackson, living id the southern portion of
the county. He seems to be about <lO years
of age, and it is feared that he will not re
cover.

and Cason arrested a white man named
dames Guess and a Mrs. William Wilson,
who were boarding at the Tremont House,
on Marietta street. About two months ago

Comptroller General Wright and Col.
Fellows were in prison together at John
son's Island, ami the Comptroller is thor
oughly delighted with the lug majority
fiven his former voke-fellow in New York.
allows was a captain of an Arkansas com
pany, and when ne got to Johnson's Island
was soon the light of the prison. The
Comptroller speaks of him at libit time as a
brilliant man and a gallant soldier. In the
debates with which the prisoners were ac
customed at times to relieve
the monotony of their confine
ment, Fellows was the leader and champion.
Frequently, when he had the floor for a
speech, the Federal guards would come in
and hear him through. The Comptroller
has his autograph in nis prison album.
The liabilities of A. A. Fletcher & Cos., of
Marietta, cotton buyers and grocers, re
ported as failed last, night, nre variously
stated at from &(0,000 to 1-50,000, with assets
of about $U5,000. The cause assigned is
that cotton went higher than they agreed to
deliver at. and they have lost money right
along. The strain of the last few days was
too great, and so they went under. Mr.
Fletcner has given up everything he owns,
even to his horse and buggy. Mr. Boyd,
Jr., has nothing available, but has given up
his aU, and G. C. Burnny's Marietta hotel is
mortgagee on the part of Fletcher’s prop
erty. The Merchants’ Bank of Atlanta holds
a mortgage on the rent for $7,000, while the
Atlanta National Bank will lose considera
ble, as will all other unsecured creditors.
The colored Baptists of Richmond county
have organized an educational society. The
object of the society is to establish a
Baptist high school or college in Augusta.
Within the limits of Augusta, there are not
less than twelve Baptist churches, having.a
membership of nothing under 5,000. Ample
reason is here shown for the establishment
of college by a demomination which is so
great in number. The constitution provides
"that the school established by this society
shall consist of three departments, viz: Bib
lical, scientific and industrial, which shall
be open to both sexes." Also “that the
Board of Trustees shall have the power
* * * * to establish a model school in
connection with this institution The
school will be opened as soon as practicable
It is thought by Jan. 1. 1888, the school will
begin.
Marshall MoGebee colored, died at hi'
home in Hawginsvilje a day or two sg at
an advanced age of to. He was a brother
of A. B. McGebee, a successful mirehant,
ami whs by trade a contractor and carpen
ter, and had the reputation of being one of
the most reliable of his trade in town.
The decease*! was a worthy and respected
citizen, and had the confidence of the busi
ness community. While he never held him-
self above Ins rare, yet he had not that in
tercourse with them common to negroes ■ f
his standing, and for that reason he never
married. He and his brother together are
variously estimated a- being worth between
$15,000 and $20,000. They held all things
in common between them, their wealth con
sisting of a brick store, dwelling, planta
tion, railroad stock, bonds, cash, etc. He
was a lifetime Democrat. and a great ad
mirer of Presideut Cleveland's administra
tion.
There was a family row in Ben Smith's,
district of Gwinnett county, last week,
which resulted m a criminal trial last Fri
day. T. A. Dillard and his wife, who have
been married for many years, and. it is
stated, have had eleven children, do not get
along as smoothie at times as they ought to.
Dillard claims that there is an undue inti
macy between his wife and u young man
named West. He claimed that he was out
gunning for West and found his
wife in the woods. and struck
her with a gun a-TOSi the head, inflicting
serious wounds. She took out a warrant
for her husband for assault and battery, and
he sued out warrants for her and \V,-st for
adultery. Friends of the parties tried to
get the matter settled amicably liefore the
trial began, hut all efforts proved unavail
ing. The court, after hearing the evidence,
required West to give bond for his appear
ance at court to answer the charge. The
other cases were continued.
A novel case was brought to the attention
ot the Governor Wednesday by anold negro
from Clayton county. Horepreseiited that
bi> son. Bill Hutchinson, was convicted in
the Clayton Superior Court of a misde
meanor. and sentences! by Judge Richard
H. Clarke to pay a fine of #2O ami costs,
or in default thereof to serve a term of six
months upon the public works, or such other
place as the Ordinary of the county might
direct. William defaulted and went to
jail. His father states that a short
time afterward two men came to the
jail, took William out and sold him
to Capt. Jim English, who has un
til recently had him at work on the Atlanta
and Hawkiasville railroad, but proposes
now to shift him w ith others to Hand Moun
tain, Alabama The old man sought the
Governor to find out whether it was lawful
to sell his son Bill, and whether Capt. Eng
lish now has any right to carry Dim to
Alabama It seems that the Ordinary of
Clayton hired Bill to Capt English for the
six months. The squad with which he has
been working will prohably lie moved to
the Rome and Carrollton railroad, instead
of to Alabama. The Governor was not able
to give the old man much satisfaction or re
lief!
Joe Rease, a negro who works with W. B.
Regan, a prominent farmer living seven
miles from Cedar Springs, on last Thurs
day, while all the rest of the family were
absent, attempted to Raie Mrs. Regan. Ho
called her to the field a snort distant** to see
a horse, which lie clulined was sick, and
caught her and threw her down. She drew'
a knife and cut at him twice, scream
ing all the while. He turned her loose,
appeared as seeing someone, and
ran off. The community is aroused,
and several parties are in pui-suit. The
scoundrel will lie lynched if caught. He
was tracked to Fairchild’s landing, on the
Chattahoochee river. It is supposed he is
making his way to Barber county. Alabama,
where he claims lie was reared by Mrs.
White. Seventy-five dollars reward is of
fered for his capture. He is a black, low',
heavy-set negro, weighs about 150 pounds,
has a sear on the left side of his mouth, run
ning in a circle to the middle of his chin,
has a little long mole in front of the righ*
oar below' the temple, and stutters a little in
talking when excited.
Milledgeville Union ami Recorder: We
have lived a long time and seen many
strange things, but. we waited till last
Wi-dnesday to see an auction of second
hand coffins. We do not, mean to sav that
the coffins had ever been used by the de
parted body of wmie one once flesh as we
are, but that the departed owner had left
his coffins in the hands of the constable to
be sold under a distress warrant for rent.
We are not going to make light of so grave
a subject, as a liox made to bury people in,
but the man who could look at that collec
tiou of coffins so unshapen and out of style,
and watched the countenances of
the crowd as the bidding went, on,
and kept his own severely solier, he was not
built our w ay, t hat 's all. There was no one
in the crow and willing to try one on. and if
there had been t here was nobody just of the
size they would have fitted. A few specu
lators in futures ran (he bids up in a spirited
manner, until a #lO hill covered the pile.
The sale attracted quite a crowd of sober
old citizens who no doubt wished to find out
what the difference would lie in the price of
coffins when they didn’t want one and what
would it lie if they did. The man who
bought the lot seemed to be in dead earnest.

At Warrington immense quantities of fish
called sheeps-head are caught off tin* coal
w'harf in the navy yard. They average
about a foot in length, four inches in
breadth, and an inch and a half in thickness.
They have white and black stripes running
across their bodies. It is supposed the * op
pered posts have a tendency to draw them
and perhaps the eoal also has something to
do with attracting them, as they are not
near as numerous at the other wharves. It
is very seldom that they are caught in cold
weather. The wharf is lined with boys
from daylight until dark. They sell readi
ly for J'-i'c. a piece, and in this way the
boys are always supplied with pocket
money.

marine having run through all his money
in Pensacola, wont to Mr. Oerting, whom
he knew, and represented tho due bill to tie
worth $175, and offered it for half, which,

A Mr. Williams who is emigrating from
Henry county, Alabama, to Wakulla,
county, in Florida, was camping near Chat
tahoochee Tuesday night with his family,
composed of bis wife, two daughters and
three little sons. Near 10 o'clock, when all
had retired save Mr. Williams, he was ac
costed by a burly negro who demandcxl his
money, and who about the same time seized
the campers’ gun which had been carelessly
left leaning against a bush, and fired upon
Mr. Williams, inflicting several painful
wounds in his leg and hand. The brute
then demanded money of Mrs. Williams,
and upon being informed that she had none,
remarked t' at he would take one of the
girls, and, suiting his action to his words
seized one of the girls and male off through
the woods with her. Subsequent inspection
of the grounds show that he traversed a cir
cuit of 100 yards or more and halted at a
(mint near the camp where he attempted to
outrage her, and where several articles of
her clothing were found. From her fright
aud screams she managed to resist him. In
the meantime Mr. Williams hud gathered
his ax and went to her rescue. The villain
fled upon Mr. Williams’ upproach, but
warned him that he would kill him during
the night. Being thus warned, and
having recovered his gun, Mr. Will
liatns struck camp and was repair
ing to the village, when he met a party of
friendly colored men who had heard the
firing of the guns and the screams of the
young lady, and were going to offer assist
ance, but tlie night, being quite dark, and
they supposing that t here might be other
shotguns in the vicinity, dry-lined to answer
Mr. Williams’ challenge, and he, apprehend
idg further trouble from his assailant, fired
into the group, inflicting a painful wound
in Jim Wyman’s breast anil also in George
Smith's nose. Fortunately the charge was
of small shot, or Wyman would have been
killed. Williams would have been killed
had the villain who assaulted him taken
correct aim, as the charge he received was
buckshot.
Paralyzing the Minnesota Greenhorns.
From Ihe Minneapolis Journal .
Some funny things happened at the ex
position. For instance:
Yesterday a portly woman lumbered her
way into the sculpture gallery accompanied
by a sallow-faced, red-haired female with a
scornful east, of countenance. The large
woman looked about her contemptu
ously. As she looked her disgust grew apace
and’finally she ejaculated between short
puffs:
“Come on, Sairy. Let’s get out o’ hero.
They ain’t nothin’’in here but fellows with
out any legs,” and she strode out, followed
by “Sairy.”

non ball swiftness. The Wasioja man looked
on in open mouthed astonishment; in fact,
the conductor had to push him out at the
top before ho could gather his wits suffi
ciently to say anything. At last he managed
to sav:

DR. HALL’S GEORGIA DOMAIN.
A Proposal to Give Away Land That
Isn’t Clearly Located.
from the Jacksonville <F'a .) Tones- Union .
Dr. J. H. Hall was called on by a Tim**-
Inion reporter Wednesday who asked him
regarding his offer of 160,000 acres of land
to the Irish sufferers. The Doctor was not
communicative in that degree that is so
clear to the heart of a quill driver, in fact
he almost refused to say a word.
Dr. Hall has an office on the third floor of
tho Robinson block, at 'id 1 -. West Bay. and,
when called upon, he was busily engaged in
writing. In reply to the reporter's ques
tions be said that he would have nothing to
sav. Bv dint of considerable persuasion,
he finally said that the land offered lies in
tbq central portion of Gegrgia, hut lie would
not divulge the names of the counties in
which it is situated. With these statements
he resumed his writing.
Tbe questioner i*ontinu©d in his efforts to
pump him. but could get nothing from him
except a note which no hurriedly wrote on
the back of a letter head and which read as
follows:
"I have withdrawn the grtu'.'L anil there is
no object in presenting the master further.
• J. H. Halu’l
After showing the reporter a pa pel printed
in Cork county, he evidently relented slight
ly from his first determinat on to suy n.'til
ing. He statist that tbe publication of l.ts
card was a breach of trust, as it was in
tended only as a piece of private informa
tion to the editor, and also as a note of in
quiry as to how it might lie the better placed
before the public. No official recognition
having been taken by the leaders in the
Irish question, he had withdrawn the offer.
He added that his agent is now in Georgia
surveying the lauds in question, and that
when it is completed, he will present l,oou
acres to a committee of three trustees, for
the beneiit of tlie Young Men’s Christian
Association, of Jacksonville. His reason?
for placing the land in the hands of these
trustees was tbe trouble he would have with
it. He sta’eil that he had received any
number of letter', from persons in every
part of the I’niteil States, asking why he
did not present the land to the poor of
America, instead of going across the Atlan
tic to find objects of charity.
The doctor has nothing of the appearance
of a bloated lit rid owner, and he does not
seem much concerned on account of the
statement of leading land experts in Georgia
that they know of no such body of lam! in
the State as that which was so generously
placed at the disposal of the Irish people,
anil which they have not made a rush to ac
cept. The doctor has not yet described the
metes and bounds of the land he proposes to
present to the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation.
British Convict Prisons.
FVimi the London Times.
The directors of convict prisons have
issued their riqiort for the year 1886-7, from
which it appears that there has lieen “a
great and progressive decrease in the num
ber of sentences for serious crimes.” The
yearly average number of persons sentenced
oil indictment to penal servitude in England
and Wales was, during the two years ended
1886, 968 as against 1.427 during the five
years ended 1 "4, and 1,633 during a corre
sponding period ended 1879. As compared
with tlie quinquennial periods ending in
1859, when the number was 2,589, and in
1864, when the total reached 2,800,
the diminution is still more striking.
In recent years there has been a steady' de
cline in our convict prison population,
which in July last stood at 7,441. From
1869, to 1873, inclusive, the numbers ranged
bet ween 11,090 and 12,000, and from 1874 to
ISB3 inclusive, from 10,000 to 11,000 Since
tbe latter date, the decrease has been each
year marked and regular- The number of
soldiers, sailors and marines in convict
prisons under sentence of court martial has
decreased front 3.50 in 1884 to 127 on July
16, 1887. Milbnnk prison, which has lieen
principally used for local prisoners since
October, 188:5, but which contained n cer
tain' number of convicts up to April 28,
1886, has ceased to receive any since
that, date. The directors record a very
remarkable decrease in the number
of female convicts, which has fallen
in the last ten years from 1,47 7to 706. The
directors record their sense of t he obligation
under which the public lie to the managers
of the Westminster Memorial Refuge for
the trouble they have taken during the last
fifteen years, anil express their bnjie that
some means may lie found of supplying tbe
assistance formerly rendered by the man
agers, but now withdrawn in consequence
of the fact that, tho number eligible lor the
privilege of admission to that institution has
fallen lielow what, is necessary to enable tlie
establishment to pay its expenses, although
a grant is made by government of lit*, a
week for each prisoner, who was also
furnished with a good supply of clothing on
coming to the refuge. The contemplated
closing of VY irfcwond Scrubs Prison as a
convict establishment, in order that it may
be appropriated for local prisoners instead
of Mifbank. has made it necessary to pro
vide elsewhere for the ma ufacturing in
dustries carried on there. Two of the large
halls of Chatham convict prison have there
fore been converted into workshops, the ap
proaching completion of the docks and
works having made it unnecessary for some
time past to have accommodation in this
prison for so large a number of prisoners as
in former years.
MEDIC’A L.^
Children.
Parents are very often worried about a
child that shows signs of drooping and loss
of appetite and ti<> desire to join in the sports
of their playmates. It is hardly serious
enough to require a physician, but it is
plain that the child needs something. It is
not prurient to force into the young and un
developed systems strong and nauseous
drugs, but a medicine that will aid, invig
orate, enliven and thoroughly cleanse the
system by gentle means is what, is desired.
Simmons Liver Regulator is a medicine of
this kind. The child will not rebel against
taking it, because it Is not unpleasant to the
taste; it does not coinjiel them to remain
indooi-s, and it does not weaken or injure
the system. It can safely be administered
to the youngest infant.
“I have used (Simmons Liver Regulator in
my family for eight or ten years and found
it the best family medicine I ever used for
anything tint may happen.”— Ovid G.
Sparks, Ex-Mayot of Macon, Ga.
