6 ITEMS IN THREE STATES. GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA PUT IN TYPE. A Carroll County Citizen Finds an Abandoned Baby Near His House and an Arrest Follows Ax and Knife Used in a Row in Berrien County. GEORGIA. Two Mormon e dors have made their ap pearance in Warren county. The fire record for twenty years past shows that there have been fewer losses in Newnnn than any town of equal size in the State, for the period mentioned. It is estimated that nearly $1,000,000 of life insurance is carried by the people of Coweta county. Three-fourths of this amount i earned in Newnan, the largest single policy being for $50,000. The committee appointed by the last Grand Jury of Fayette county to examine the tax books and report all defaulters, held a series of meetings last week. They found about 4,500 acres of land not given in at all, and something over 300 polls. More than fifty lots of land in Towns, Union, Dawson, Lumpkin. Fannin, Chat tooga, Cherokee, Bartow, Polk, Paulding, Floyd and Milton counties are now for sale. These are all mineral lands, and contain gold, copper, iron and other valuable ores. Last Sunday a difficulty occurred near James Luke's, at Flat Creek, Berrien County, between Messrs. James and Tom Luke, in which the former was cut under the left shoulder and the latter was knocked on the forehead with an ax. Mr. Luke’s coat was cut in eleven places. Neither party is supposed to be dangerously hurt. Near Kinnston,Tuesday night,while Tram Branson, son of J udge John lßranson, was riding home, he was attacked by a negro man. The negro grabbed the reins and de manded his money and horse, or he would kill him. All this time Tram was working to get his knife, which lie did, anil, quickly opening it, cut the negro's hand that held the bridle, making him loose it and before tlie negro could recover himself Tram was out of sight. Tram is only a lad of sixteen summers, nlid small to his age, and his experience with a desperado scared him up pretty badly. He lives a mile and a half from town and now goes home before sundown. Two young Nashville gentlemen went buggy riding last Sunday. They limy have intended visiting their sweethearts. A pony, late of Texas, furnished the motive power. The young gentlemen were only partially acquainted with the pony —in fact they were hardly on speaking terms with him. After a while the pony hail occasion to resent some injury done his person, so to speak, with a whip, and the more he re lented it the bigger the injury seemed to him to grow, until finally he “pawded” the buggy into a wreck with his hind feet. When this was accomplished the pony, minus harness, stood off and gazed at the young men with a look which seemed to say: “Hit. me again if you want to have some more fun.” The Brunswick Advertiser-Appeal re ports a somewhat peculiar case that was tried during the past week in Wayne Supe rior Court. A snort time since a negro was discovered attempting to open a car in a freight train on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway at Scriven, in Wayne county. When the train started he climbed on board, and at each stop continued his work of trying to force an entry. At Pat terson, in Pierce county, he was arrested, and when tried was cleared. He was imme diately re-arrested on a warrant from Wayne county, and taken to Jesup, where he was last week tried, convicted and sen tenced to the penitentiary for that jiortion of his crime committed in that county. At Macon Friday the grand jury found nine true bills against Thomas Woolfolk for the murder of the Woolfolk family on Aug. 13 last. A reporter interviewed Woolfolk and informed him of the fact that the bills had been found. “Did vou know that bills had been found, Tomf’ “No, I did not.” “Well, there were nine of them found—an indictment for murder ineach case.” ‘'Well, it is no more than I expected,” said Tom, and he turned away in the most nonchalant manner. Judge Dustin says he will give him a speedy trial. Col. John C. Kuther ford has formally accepted the place of counsel for his defense, and the case bids fair to I>6 most stubbornly contested. It will come up for trial as soon as the crim inal docket is opened, probably this month Alapaha Star: Sparks is the name of a new town about one mile south of Afton, in this county, on the Georgia Southern ana Florida railroad It is located twenty-two miles south of Tilton, twelve miles west of Nashville, twenty-seven miles northwest of Valdosta and twenty-one miles southwest of Alapaha. The country tributary to Sparks is thickly settled, the lund is fertile and the farmers for the most part are in good cir cumstances. Perhaps it would be proper to state here that Sparks is as yet in an embryo state—that is, it- has but recently been laid off into business and resi dence lots, about fifty of which have been sold. Three store-houses have been erected and the finishing touches are being put on them. A number of in ten dent settlers have hauled part of the building material on their lots, and will in a short time begin erecting store house* and residences. At Quitman, on Saturday morning last, when Sheriff McNeil weut to jail to feed the prisoners, he was accosted by a colored gentjeman who said he would like to see the inside of that edifice. The Sheriff very po litely invited him in and as he did so he was comparing a description received that morning from Mouticello asking him to look out for a party resembling the gentleman who had just asked to be allowed to inspect the premise*. The description suited and as soon as the negro walked into the cage the Sheriff shot the bolt and there he was. Sheriff Bird came up on the next train and identified the negro as the one wanted. He belonged to a gang that had recently committed a num ber of robberies in Jefferson county. His object in wanting to go into the jail here was to see if any of his comrades had been captured and caged in this county. A handsome, neatly dressed voung man, giving the name of D. W. Taylor, New York, is under arrest at Columbus. He was arrested on the following telegram from Cincinnati: “A man giving the name of Gardner is wanted here. He is a young man, 5 feet Bor 9 inches in height, slender build,brown or black moustache, not heavy, and has agreeable manners. He wore a light overcoat and black stiff hat. Arrest if found, aud wire me. Phil Deitsch, Snpt. of Police.” The description fitted ex actly. There can be no doubt as to the identity of the man. He is a slick one, and has worked several States, be ginning at _ Pennsylvania and going as far West as California. Front there he went to Missouri. He was iit Montgomery a few davs ago and was ar rested by Chief Gerald as a suspect. The man was released by Chief Gerald before he knew that he was wanted. After the man hail left Montgomery Chief Gerald was notified that he was wanted in Cincin nati. and he at once notified Chief Palmer of the fact. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Oct 22 thus describes the actions of the man in that city: A clever, but by no means new swindlo is being practiced upon uptown milliners and dressmakers by a slick individual sailing under the names of George W. Thayer, alias E. J. Harkness, alias D. W. Taylor. His right name is un known, but from all accounts he is pretty • level at his tricks. He goes into small millinery stores and dressmaking establish ments as the representative of Johnston, Hill & Cos., New York pub lishers of the Young Ladies' Journal, a fashion paper, also sole proprietors and manufacturers of John ston's famous paper dress patterns, His firm is desirous of securing the services of a good, live agent in this city, and he called, upon the suggestion of some down-town house, where the lady is known: She can have the sole agency of the paper and pat terns for Cincinnati upon the payment of a deposit of $lO, which the firm demands. Mr. Slick presents a contract for the lady's signature, but she is a trifle reticent. “Oh, of course, if the lady is any way worried about it, the agent is very accommodating and will send the money tor her.” He goes to the express office with a sealed package directed to Johnston, Hill & Cos., New York, for which he receives a receipt, which reads: “Said to contain $10.” He presents this receipt to the victim; gets her signature to tbo “fuke” contract and skips with the $lO to the adjoining square, where he catches another victim. FLORIDA. Seville has the next largest school in Vo lusia county, Orange City coming first. The Oakland celebration, which Gov. Perry is expected to attend, occurs to-mor row. Something over SSO was realized at the Presbyterian festival at Ocala last Friday night. The first carload of machinery for the new ice factory at Cedar Keys, arrived Tuesday night. Some sugar cane was brought into Gaines ville Friday which had over twenty good joints to the stalk. S. T. 'Walker, the Milton journalist, who disappeared so suddenly last spring, is said to be in Andalusia, Ala. Col. Zell, publisher, Philadelphia, writes us that he has now over 100 volumes to be gin the Zell wood library. One Ocala merchant sold over S3OO worth of goods to one family at Oaklawn last week. They are new cornel's. The Polk County Bank paid last Satur day to the teachers of the county upward of $2,000 on school warrants. A hunting party which left Gainesville about ten days ago arrived home Friday. Fourteen deer were killed, besides other game in abundance. The Naples Land and Improvement Com pany, have sold out to a Kentucky syndi cate, who propose to push the town of Naples for all it is worth. The lumbermen of Marion county met at Ocala Tuesday, and after transact ing sotno business adjourned to meet at the same place Wednesday, Nov. 10. Marion county’s legislators are inclined to wait another year before they order the as sessment of the SIO,OOO necessary to enlarge the court house to the needs •>1 the present. At Tavares on Monday night George VV. Bryan was kicked in the chest by a horse. It was at first feared that the injuries were of a serious character, but he is out again with no apparent injury other than flesh bruises. Messrs. Agnew, Brown, Mclntyre, Mayo and Kniglit have filed articles of incorpo ration for the Seminole Orange and Lemon Company. The headquarters are at Pana sofkee. but to operate in Marion, Sumter and Hernando. The capital paid in is $200,000. A mule hitched to a spring wagon started to run on the square at Ocala last Monday morning, but striking the telegraph pile near the Gary Block, came to a sudden stop, which caused its occupants, Jimmie Pooser, son of Keprosentative Pooserf and John Clary, to be thrown out, the former receiv ing several bruises on the face and fractur ing the wrist of his left arm. The wagon was slightly damaged. It is reported that while train No. 4 on the Tavares, Orlando and Apopka railroad was leaving Gainsboro station about 5:40 o’clock Thursday night the engineer Was fired at by sme unknown party who was standing a short distance from the track. The man was said to be plainly visible, and after firing at the engineer and missing him fired into one of the coaches among the passengers. Fortunately no one was hit, the marksman, however, succeeding in hitting the engine. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alachua County Immigration Associ ation Friday the majority of the members were present. President Judge J. W. Ashby was authorized and requested to em ploy a competent assistant for the purpose of getting facts and making a general write up of the count y, its products, adaptabili ties, resources, qualities and qualifications. The manner in which these statistics will be placed before the public has not yet teen determined, but it wiil probably be issued in papers, circulars and folders. Other infor mation regarding the county, such as maps, etc., will also be published and circulated where they will do the most good. Ocala Banner: Dr. Kost, the eminent State Geologist, as noted in our last issue, is visiting with his friend, A. E. Water man, aud at intervals inspecting the coun try by jaunts through it. He returned Tuesday from a very interesting tour of observation down through Cotton Plant, where ho discovered remains of the Mana tee, then continued on across the Withla cooehee to within four miles of Crystal river, where he gathered almost perfect re mains of a mastadon, bones of the shoulder blade, vertebra aud perfect teeth. Bones from extinct species of elephants, repre senting different parts of their body, also ribs of Manatee and remains of extinct species of hyena. Cedar Keys Gulf View. Strangers visit ing Cedar Keys will be well repaid for the time spent in a visit to the Faber and Eagle Pencil saw mills, where is prepared much of the stock which enters into the world’s supply of pencils. In our early days- we remember thut many persons used gold aud silver cased pencils. These are generally re placed by the red cedar pencil, the manu facture of which is a great and profitable industry. It is not generally known that the world’s supply of pencil wood is drawn from the Gulf coast swamps on both sid&s of Cedar Keys, and that the pro3iict of the mills here is shipi>ed not only to the New York and New Jersey fac tories, but also to Germany, and, perhaps, other countries of The industry here gives employment to hundreds of ojie ratives, white and black, and disburses large sums of money. That nothing may be lost, tlte sawdust is distilled iu large retorts, and the oil extracted, every ounce of which finds ready sale. Thera is another smaller mill, operated by the firm of F. A. Wolfe & Cos., merchants, and another at Crystal river, belonging to the Dixon Cru cible Company, of Jersey City, and still an other at Elizey, sawing, we believe, for a Philadelphia firm. SOUTH CAROLINA. The State Convention of the Baptists will be held at Sumter Dee. 1. The State Fair at Columbia last week was a great success in every way. At Columbia Thursday an association was formed of the South Carolina survivors of the medical staff of the Confederate Army and Navy. Oecrge Clark, a colored man, jumped from a train Thursday morning on the Greenville road, just below Hodges, and was killed instantly. He is supposed to have been drunk. At Bennettsville Tuesday a gin house with 00,000 pounds of seed cotton was burned on J. ft. Breeden's MeCallum place. The tire is thought to have been the work of an incendiary, as the gin had not been run since Friday last, Mr. Breeden’s loss can not fall short of §4,000. Robert Eller be, who lives in Sumter coun ty noar the Kershaw line, had to shoot a ne gro on his piazza Thursday evening in self defense. Mr. Ellerbe notified the coroner the next morning. The sheriff being absent he did not give himself up. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Regents of the Lunatic Asylum was held at Columbia Thursday. There are in the asylum 175 white males, 103 white females, 133 colored males, 144 colored females; total, 045, which is below the average number. Over 3.000 p rsons visited the Lunatic Asy lum one day last week. Avery warm discussion took place at Co lumbia Thursday in frontof the Department of Agriculture between a party of country cousins. Some convicts were working in the building, which persuaded o ie party to contend that it was t.ie State penitentiary, THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1887. f while another was strongly of the opinion t hat it was the county jail. ’ Adam C. Welborn, who has been figuring as leader of the opposition to county sub ! scription to the Carolina, Knoxville and Western road, has given notice at Green ville, that he will apjieal from the decision of the County Commissioners ordering the election. This will carry the case into Court, but it is not believed that it thill ob struct the subscription movement. The penitentiary authorities at Columbia charge visitors 10c. for the privilege of lio inff shown through the institution. Wednes day tlie crowd was so great that the receipts from this small fee amounted to SBO, while a large number of members of the Legisla ture aud other persons were admitted free. The money thus collected goes to the fund for transporting released prisoners to their homes. A runaway couple was married at Man ning Tuesday. The contracting parties were Mr. William Butler aud Miss Ella Butler, both of this place, the latter living on the edge of town. They are first cousins. They went back to the house of the bride’s father after the ceremony, fully expecting a little trouble, but were surprised, as the old folks took it remarkably well, only re gretting that they were so near related. A meeting of the disabled Confederate soldiers was held at Edgefield Tuesday. Each county in the State is requested to send a delegation of one or three to the next session of the Legislature to urge that upon body a petition asking t hat, some appropria tion lie made in behalf of the disabled sol diers of South Carolina, and that said ap propriation be made at once and annually thereafter, and that a special list be made up from each county of those soldiers who are permanently disabled and their wants and needs lie especially pressed upon the members of the General Assembly. Capt. W. D. Fitch of Williamsburg has a pocketknife which was found in the gizzard of a large turkey gobbler killed at his place. The knife is three and a half inches long and about the size of an ordinary knife. The handle is made of dark colored horn, and trimmed with bright metal at each end, which no doubt caused the turkey to take it for some kind of an insect. The handle of the knife shows signs of having been wastod by digestion. The turkey was healthy and fat. Capt. Fitch’s mother lost the knife. It is curious how such a large, hard instrument could be swallowed by a turkey, and how it could survive with it in its gizzard. At Columbia Wednesday the annual re union of the Wallace House Association took place. In the absence of the President and Vice President of the association ex- Gov. Sheppard was called to the chair. The President read a letter received by Secre tary of State Bamberg from Judge Wal lace, who was to have read the history of the Wallace House, stating that it was im possible for him to leave the court being held in Yorkville. A committee of three was appointed to obtain from Judge Wal lace the history of the Wallace House and to have the same published. Resolutions expressing sorrow at the death of E. M. Hamer, a late member of the association, were passed. Newberry Herald and Journal: The Trial Justice system is very unsatisfactory in many particulars, but we need an in ferior court with summary powers, and un less we had something better to offer we will not attempt to pull it down. In fact, wo believe if we could always got good men as Trial Justices, and men who under stood something of the law, the present sys tem, with a few changes, would be about as good as any. We think, however, they should be salaried officers and not have to depend at all upon the fees of the office. And the constable should be paid in the same way. It would remove a temptation, which, under the present system, is some times a stumbling block. The Sumter County Commissioners met Monday, and decided to call a meeting in the course of the next two weeks for the pur pose of laying before the Sumter delega tion the condition of the county finances, so tnat a tax can l)e ordered levied by the Legislature sufficient to run the county next year. The last report of the grand jury showed the county to lie ahead ou finances nearly $4,000, but this was a mistake, as the real state of affairs is that the county is behind to the amount of about $2,400. How the mistake occured in the graud jury’s report is not known. The foreman of tlie jury and the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners each claim that the error was made by the other. The trial of Green B. Surratt and Logan Gibson on six indictments for arson, one for grand larceny and one for conspiracy, at Black’s, in York county, the offenses charged having been committed siqce Dec. 31 last, ended Thursday afternoon, that being the eighth day ot' the trial, in a ver dict of not guilty on each indictment. The eases were tried together, and a large number of witnesses were examined, much public interest being manifested through tlie trial. After the verdicts were an nounced W. J. Carpenter, the principal witness for the State, was arrested on a Trial Justice’s warrant, charging him with perjury. He waived a preliminary exami nation, and gave bond for his appearance at the next term of court. At Camden, John S. Meroney has a very unpleasant visitor at his house, in the Shape of a spirit. For about a week the brass knocker on his front door has been having a “gala week” of its own. It has been seen to raise up and come down with a loud rap, and its behavior cannot be explained. Tlie knocker is between seventy-five and 100 years old. It came off the old Sahuond house, which used to be .in the lower part of town, but was bought and removed by Mr. Meroney. The knocker was afterward put on his front door. It is of thin brass and is screwed on a thick piece of board, while bolts with concealed heads go through the panel of the door to hold it in place. There is no other connection between the knocker and anything at all. The knocking is seen and beard with the door in any position. While Mr. Marouey nor his wife believe in spirits nor seem to bo superstitious, the affair worries them to say the least. Crowds of curious people are around the door day and night and many of them testify to the strange movements of the knocker. Near Coke’s station, on the Savannah Valley rail road, Thursday about 3 :f?0 o’clock, Lester Burton, a 16-year old negro, made a criminal assault upon Mrs. Mary Burton, the wife of Lawrence Burton. The screams of the frightened lady alarmed some neigh bore who lived near enough to hear her. Mrs. Margaret Burton, the mother-in-law of the assaulted lady, lived only 300 yards away. Hearing the screams she went at once to the assistance of her daughter, whom sin found in an unconscious state on tho floor, having fainted from fright. The negro, becoming clarmed, fled to the woods, hav ing failed to accomplish his purpose. He was living on the same plantation, and had been at work during the afternoon in a lot near the house of the lady upon whom ho made tho assault. Mr. Burton was at this time away from the house, and his wife was left at home with her three little children. Mrs. Burton is a highly respected lady, and about 35 years old. The fiend was captured Thursday night at 13 o’clock in the cabin of a negro, two miles from the scene of the dastardly deed, and was lodged in jail. There was a stroug disposition to lynch him, but the discreet management of some of the thoughtful citizens saved his ueck. The nineteenth annual meeting of the Ag ricultural Society was held in Agricultural Hull at Columbia, Thursday, and was pre sided over by CoL D. I’. Duncan. The Sec retary read the proceedings of the society of Fen. 3, ISS7, and they were confirmed. The Treasurer reported that tho receipts of the State fair for Nov. 8, !• and 10, respec tively, amounted to §035 40, §1,704 80, §3.704 05. CoL J. P. Thomas renominated Col. Duncan for President, but as a resolu tion of November, 1885, provides that no member of the society shall be eligible for the office of the presidency for more than two ' years, Col. Duncan re turned his thanks for the honor and deelined the nomination. Messrs. E. R. Mclver and J. B. Humbert were nom inated for President. Mr. Humbert was elected, aud the following persons were elected Vice-Presidents and members of the Executive Committee: Vice-Presidents, G. Leaphart, First Congressional District; A. P. Butler, Second: B. F. Crayton, Third; J. Wash Watts, Fourth; B. H. Massey, Fifth: C. S. McCall, Sixth; W. G. Hinson. Seventh. Executive Committee, K. L. Roche, E. R. Mclver. J. C. F. Sims, T. O.

Holloway. A Speech by Senator Butler. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, spoke at Columbia, Wednesday, in reference to the relation of South Carolina to the Fed eral Government, and her individual rights. Gen. Butler spoke at length. He said the people cry the Federal Constitution is a thing of the past. Under it the States have not the rights they had before the war. Where is tlie change? Why, only in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments. Not another line has been changed, and as far as the rights of the States are concerned, the Constitution to day is the same as in 1800. Congress, the speaker said, was usurping the rights of the States, but there was a man at the head cf the nation, Grover Cleveland, who re spected thoso sacred rights. The dangerous tendency of the times was the calling upon Congress to settle individual matters and to take jurisdiction in cases where it had no right under the laws and tlio constitution < f the United States. Congress was attempt ing to assume the power of the Parliament of Great Britain. In speaking of Cleveland Senator Butler said the President had been denounced in this State as well as others for his civil ser vice policy. This policy of the President was simply upholding the laws which he himself (Butler) and his friends on the stand had helped to puss. It ill-becomes any man in South Carolina to criticise the President for this action. Whatever it has done for other States, it has been every thing for South Carolina. When Cleveland leaves his office there will not be many Re publicans in office. [Voice in the audience, decidedly unsteady: “But they are there now.”] Butler: “Very few, and at any rate there are none in South Carolina.” Senator Butler spoke for some time on the surplus iu the Treasury. When asked how he would reduce it he said he would start by taking the tax of 83 per cent, off salt and H 0 per cent, off a hat or a piece of cloth. He read statistics on tariff rates and showed the enormous tax put upon the people by the present tariff system. Ho was convinced that no laboring man was protected by the tariff. If so, wh - was there so much discontent, bloody riots, strikes, etc., among American laborers? The real reason of such discontent was that Congress passed laws strengthen ing capital and crushing individual efforts. The money went into capitalists’ pockets that ivas taken from labor. Cleveland was blamed for the surplus in the treasury, when he (Butler and liis colleagues on the tand were ten thousand times more respon sible and yet unable to prevent it. We have profound cause for congratulation that a man like Cleveland is at the head of the Government. He has made that contemptible flaunting of the bloody shirt a thing of the past. The foundation of the government was the right of home rule —the right of the people to regulate their own affairs with due regard to tlie general government, and he hoped the time would never come when the people of this State would ever give up their rights. Senator Butler gave United States Judge Bond a terrible scoring when referring to the oppression of the people in this State, and wished it understood that he was willing to reiterate his remarks in New York, Washington, or anywhere else.
