One Will Baker (colored) stole a pair of
boots from a fellow colored laborer. On
Thursday morning four of his colored co
laborers gave him the choice of a whipping

Americas Republican: Monday of last
week a young white man named Tom Ellis,
living near Dra&esville, came to tlie city
bringing a bale of cotton und two barrels of
syrup. He sold them and left for home,
but he got there missing. It is not known
whether lie has gone “snipe hunting," or
whether he was put out of tiie way for the
small sum of money lie carried, as he was
returning home or not. We hear though,
that he has "gone glimmering like a school
boy’s dream," while some who hold his “I.
O. U.,” are patiently awaiting his return.
At Atlanta interest in the celebrated
Dixon will case was slightly revived in the
Supseme Court, Wednesday, in the align
ment of a case relating to the taxation of
certain real estate in 'Washington county.
Dixon owned a body of land containing
about 18,000 acres, all of which, except 5,060
acres, was in Huncock comity. The 5,000
acres wore across the line in Washington
county, which claimed the right to tax it.
This was resisted by Hancock, and it is a
contest between the two counties. The
court below decided iu favor of Hancock
county.
Mrs. Drew W. Taylor, the aged mother of
Dr. 8. W. and Messrs. 11. S. and J. R. Tay
lor, of Hawkinsville, came near being the
victim of a fatal accident a few nights ago.
Mrs. Taylor has been confined to her bed
several months from the effects of a para
lytic stroke, and while attempting to use a
kerosene lamp, near midnight, her clothing
became ignited, and but for the prompt as
sistance of her grand-daughter. Miss Stella
Taylor, who was occupying an adjoining
room, a fatal and prolmbly destructive con
flagration might have ensued. Miss Stella s
hands were badly burned, while her grand
mother escaped injury.
Albany News and Advertiser: Hay is be
ing hauled into the city from every quarter
of the surrounding country, and finds easy
sale. There is but little of it, however, that
is properly cut and cured. The grass should
lie cut in a green state and cured. If left to
dry on the ground before being cut it loses
much of its nutritious quality, and is really
worth but little. Many of our farmers last
season engaged iu the cutting and curing of
hay in the most approved manner, and
have saved quantities of the best hay ever
seen in this section. Many others will make
provision for curing it properly next season,
and in a short time the liay crop of this sec
tion will be worth more than the fodder
crop.
Abbeville Times: Rev. Alexander Baker
(colored), steward of the Alice Clark, is 76
years old, is a native of North Carolina.
His father and mother are living; the former
is 96, the latter Ski years old. His father has
held the position of janitor of the Wilming
ton and Cape Fear bank for sixty-six years,
and is worth S2O,IKKI. He is the father of
twenty-one children, all living except one.
Three ministers in his family—one Metho

the children were born in August except
two. He and his wife were born in August
also. Alec says lie has traveled over 45,000

At Augusta, at a special meeting of Coun
cil, called for the purpose Wednesday night,
the question was discussed whether or' not
the present electric light wires used are or
are not dangerous to rierso•> and property.
Two electric experts of the Western Union
Telegraph Company were employed to
make a test, and they decided that the wires
were dangerous on account of not being
properly insulated. Tho electric light com
pany’s representatives argued they were not
dangerous, and stated that the same wares
were used all over the Uuited States, and
the Augusta municipal authorities were the
first to find fault. After nearly three hours
of discussion the matter was referred to a
committee of five Councilmeu to investi
gate and report back.
The late Legislature passed an act of
questionable legality and constitutionality,
which does not seem to have attracted any
public attention or comment. The act pro
poses a modification of the laws against
lotteries, so as to authorize and empower
William W. Boyd and a number of excel
lent gentlemen, whose names are cited in
the act, to organize a lottery scheme for the
purpose of raising funds with which to
build and maintain a home for
indigent widows and orphans of Confeder
ate soldiers, to be called “The Masonic
Home.” The object will be conceded to be
a very worthy one, but the constitution of
1877 expressly prohibits lotteries of ail kinds.
The Mr. Boyd mentioned in the act, was
one of the leading spirits in the old “Georgia
Lottery.”
At Dawson a negro boy named Alford,
who was arrest-d last week and put in jail
for breaking into the residence of Dallas
Beckwith, has made his escape. Alford is
only about 15 years old, and has had rather
a checkered career for a boy of his age.
After staying in jail one night he was
brought up for commitment trial, and the
.ludge not beimr on hand when the officer
look him to .lie court house he was locked
up in one of the rooms up-stairs for safe
keeping. When the Judge was found and
every thing was ready to try the ease iui
officer went to the room to bring the pris
oner before his honor. He was not there.
He had decided to settle his own case and
bad jumped out of a window to the ground,
a distance of about twenty feet.
There are now in Athens something like
20,00() bales of cotton in stock. It has been
pouring in steadily all the season, and the
receipts and shipment* thus far have been
fully 25 per cent, heavier than they were up
to this time last year. The announcement
that the crop, which was at first estimated
at f,(XX), OOO bal, 8, would not exceed 0,200,-
000. bat. brought a uddeu rise which
cotton men say rarely comes in
November. Cotton has lieen rushed to mar
ket from the field, the gin bouse, the plan
tation and tho store. Warehouses have
lieen showered with advices to sell, buyers
and shippers have taken lieavilv, and until
this enormous lot of ootton can Vie moved, of
course there will he a glut for a few days.
Inquiry of the buyers and compresses show
that c itton is being prepared, branded and
shipped very rapidly. Large forces are at
work, both presses have loaded sixty or
seventy carloads a week, and the crop is
going forward with a rush. This cotton,
they say, cannot be moved in a day.
Marietta Journal: There are no new de
velopments in the failure of A. A. Fletcher
& Go., save that the National Bank of At
lanta has filed a creditor's bill asking that a
receiver be appointed. As all the property
has lieeu mortgaged to preferred creditors,
it will be a difficult matter io determine tho
result. Messrs. Fletcher & Cos. have received
n telegram from Messrs. Reid & Cos., of New
York, of whom tlu-y had bought guano, in
quiring into tho failure, and upon being no
tified that their claim was n total loss, they
telegraphed back sympathy, recalled the
discounted notes, and offered to help them
if desired. A firm, whom Fletcher & Cos.
were under contract to deliver cotton at a
certain price, on being notified that they
were unable to fill the contract, telegraphed
to know if Messrs. Fletcher & Cos. would
not as agents buy cotton for them, as they
were under contract to deliver several hun
dred bales, that they were dependent upon
Messrs Fletcher & Cos. to ship them.

At DeFuniak Springs there were nearly
1,000 competing entries when the West
Florida Fair books were closed Tuesday
night. Many Northern and Western people
are in the town and the display of products is
a source of surprise to these visitors. There
are samples of corn and sorghum cane equal
to any produced in the Northwest. The
display of fruit is exceptionally fine. The
same may tie said of the ladies’ handiwork.
Bonifay, Holmes county, makes the best
showing of farm products. Thorough-bred
sheep and cattle, Angora goats, Poland
China hogs and fancy fowls compose the
stock show.
Santos is a little village seven miles south
of Oeala, on the Florida Railway and Navi
gation Company’s line. It has a good saw
and grist mill, two stores and two schools.
When the war closed two families—Cole, of
Mississippi, and Mathews, of Alabama—
seceded to Brazil, Houth America, to re
construct their fortunes. This they did in
the course of a seventeen years’ residence.
But these reconstructed fortunes could not
satisfy the loss of their native homes, and
hence live years ago they returned and
settled on a superior elevated tract of ham
mock one and a half miles west of the
village which they named Santos, after the
one left in Brazil. As the late Consul has
returned from Brazil, Dr. G. Mathews is
applying for the place. lie is courteous in
his manners, is of sterling integrity, familiar
with the language and customs of that
province. From the doctor and sons. Judge
W. I'erkins, of Be lie view, purchased two
years ago their finest farm, out of the three.
Three miles further liack there are nice
farms and settlers with flourishing orange
groves, and which will be reached in time
by a branch track of the Florida Railway
and Navigation Company’s road.
A Realistic Adventure.
From St. Nicholas.
As the dusk was setting in on a beautiful
autumnal day about thirty-seven years ago,
a man and a boy were driving a row along
a country road in Ohio. They had come a
long distance and were weary; but though
the boy limped, tha conversation did cot
flag as they trudged along.
They were evidently not farmers; both
had the appearance of living a city life hut
had they been observed, the things they
were saying, and not their looks, would
have attracted attention; for they were
talking of Cervantes and Shakespeare.
The cow needed much urging, and it was
late at night when they reached some white
limbed sycamores beside the tail-race of a
grist-mill on the Little Miami river, on the
oilier side of which was the small log cabin
in which they lived. A question then arose
as to how they should get the cow across.
They did not know the depth of the water,
but they knew it to be cold and they did not
care to swim it. The elder wanted the boy
to run up under the sycamores to the saw
mill, cross the head-race there and come
come back to receive the cow on the other
side of the tail-race. But with all his lite
rature the boy was young enough to be su
perstitious and afraid of the dark: and,
though the elder urged him to go, ho would
not force him. They could see the lights in
the cabin twinkling cheerfully and they
shouted to those within, but no one heard
them. They called and called in vain, and
were answered only by the cold rush of the
tail-race, the rustle of sycamore leaves and
the homesick lowing of the cow.
They then determimxl to drive her across
from the shore and then to run up to the
saw-mill and down the other bank, so as to
catch her us she reached it. When they came
there she was not to bo found, however; she
hail instantly turned again and during the
night she made her way back to the town
from which they had brought her.
The log cabin was a small one, with a
cornfield of 80 acres behind it, and it was
nearly a quarter of a century old. The boy
who entered it after this adventure was Wil
liam Dean Howells, and the man was his
lather, who had recently brought his family
to Dayton to take charge of the saw-mill
and grist-mill on tin river. The incident
illustrates the simplicity of the oarly life of
one who has .since become the foremost
American novelist.
Red-Headed Collectors.
From tlic Atlanta Ida.) Journal.
A few days ago Mr. Andy Stewart put an
advertisement in the Jour,ml which road
as follows:
“Wanted—A red-headed boy. Apply at
A. P. Stewart & Co.’s.”
The Journal press had hardly been run
ning ten minutes when a boy with hair as
red as a glowing coal entered the store,
walked up to Mr. Stewart, removed his hat,
leaned over to give a gixxl view of his fiery
top-knot, and asked solemnly:
“Will 1 dot”
Mr. Stewart looked with mingled surprise
and admiration upon the crimson locks and
said in a fatherly sort of way:
“My sou, I think you’ll till the bill.”
When I heard of the incident I asked Mr.
Stewart what he wanted with a red-headed
boy. He replied:
“They make the best collectors in the
world. They are not exactly saucy, but
they always get there.”

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1887.
A WOMAN’S CHILD.
] To a Mother from Shame it Is
j Turned Over to the World's Charity.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
To-day about noon a lady called on Chief
I Connolly at police headquarters. She was
accompanied by a negro woman, who bore
in her arms a beautiful little baby—a girl,
about 3 months old.
The lady gave tier naino as Mi's. L. A.
Copes, and slated that she wanted to speak
to the Chief on important and private busi
ness. She was conducted to the Chief’s
private office, and there she made known
the object of the visit.
“That child,” she said, pointing to the in
fant in the nurse’s arms, “was brought to
me three months ago. About, that time a
well-known and respectable gentleman (giv
ing a name) sent for my husband, who was
working with Mr. F. H. Snook. Mr. Copes
called at the gentleman’s office and was
asked if he wanted to adopt a little baby
girl.
This same gentleman had given us a baby
about two years ago, and failed to pay its
hoard and it died, and we had to pay the
funeral expenses, so Mr. Copes was not
anxious to take tho child. I was sent for,
and upon the gentleman promising to give
me SIOO I promised to take the baby. A few
days later a carriage drove up to the door.
I live near the Bel I wood church, and a
gentleman and a lady got out and came
into the house. The lady was elegantly
dressed and in her urms she held the baby.
I took the child and I reckon my
face showed I wanted the $10(1, for
tho lady took out her pocketbook,
looked at the gentleman and he looked
out the window. “I’ll pay you some other
day,” she said, and she arose and left tho
house accompanied by her escort. That’s
tlie last time I saw her, and I don’t know
who she is. I waited for tho money and
finally culled at the gentleman’s office. I
called again and met with nothing but
promises until last Friday when I was paid
$lO. I called again yes! erday and was re
ferred to the gentleman’s partner, who
treated me so rudely that I was forced to
leave. Now, I want to know what lam to
do with the baby. I don’t know who its
parents are and lam not able to support
it.
When the lady bad finished her narrative
Chief Connolly left his office, und, after ad
vising with the Mayor, decided to call on
the gentleman referred to by his visitor, who
had given his name.
Ho failed to see him, however, as ho was
out of his office, but will consult with him
this afternoon.
Chief Connolly will thoroughly investi
gate the matter, and, if possible, find out
who is responsible for the maintenance of
the child.
Tho Journal is in possession of the fol
lowing information; That the gentleman
named by the lady is not the father of Ihe
child. His connection with the case is only
this: He thought to shield an unfortunate
girl from disgrace. Under the circum
stances the gentleman’s namo will he with
held until he can make such explanation as
will set him right.
DEATH OF A WILD MAN.
When Taken from the Woods and
Placed in a House He Dies.
Beaumont, Tex., Nov. 12.—For over
twenty years a wild man by the name of
Richardson, with his family, consisting of
his wife, with an occasional child added,
have inhabited the woodland thickets of
Jasper and Harden counties, hiding hither
and thither as occasion might require, sub
sisting on the native products of the forest,
such as acorns, roots, etc. , and when oppor
tunity offered the decaying flesh of dead
wild animals. In their wooded retreat,
hedged iu by an almost impenetrable thicket,
this strange family lived untrainmeled by
the rules of civilized society. This life they
Jed until about throe months ago, when, un
wittingly wandering within three miles of
Beaumont, the family apparently almost
overcome with sickness and hunger, and
unable to wander farther, were captured
by passers-by and brought here.
The church appointed a committee, who
rented a house for them and undertook to
furnish them with all the substantial of life,
but the gray beads shook at the action of the
committee. That man will die, they said,
if you put him in a house where bo is pro
tected from tho elements; treatment of this
kind will kill them all; all they need is plen
ty of rain and sunshine, cold and heat, a
bellow, log or grassy meadow to sleep in.
But the fated hand of civilization was kindly
placed on them. In a comfortable house the
tender hands of the first ladies of the land
nursed them; preachers prayed for
them; they were furnished medicine
by the skilled hand of an allopathic
physician, fed on the best the market af
forded, but, notwithstanding all the kind
treatment, the prediction of the gray heads
became true, and the wild spirit of the
man, the child of nature and an inhabitant
of nature’s wild forests, winged its way to
the happy hunting grounds of eternal rest.
The survivors will now witness the strange
sight of seeing the father and husband laid
to his eternal rest in the bosom of mother
earth, in a coffin made by skilled workmen
of some great, city and paid for out of the
coffers of Jefferson county, while they look
on and wonder like some creature at the
strange proceedings. The survivors of this
strange family will now, no doubt, betake
themselves to their former retreat, as the
toil and worry, and work especially, is ex
ceedingly distasteful to them.
Novel Industry.
From the Lon Angeles Tribune.
While strolling through the South Main
Street Market one afternoon a Tribune
reporter was accosted by the keeper of a
stand with the remark: “book here!
Beauties, ain’t they ?’ Holding up to view
a raisin box, he rapped on the wire screen
covering the top. and immediately was
heard the well known whirring noise made
by the California rattlesnakes. Coiled up
in the box was a mass of snakes from ii to ti
feet long, nearly filling tho box, wriggling
and g iding into apparently inextricable
knots and constantly m motion. This was
explained to the reporter as anew industry
which some boys have started living
in the Santa Monica mountains.
The “rattlers” are caught by means of
a slip-noose of cord and dumped into a tin
box, and when the sport fails the tin box is
covered and brought into town. The mar
ket man said that there is a fair commercial
demand for “rattlers” from the Chinese,
who use them as medicine, and they readily
command from 50c. to $1 each. The Chi
nese are said to handle them with impunity,
and a purchaser yesterday thrust his hand
into the box and drew a large rattlesnake
out, which he grasped by the back of the
head with one hand and pulled o|ien the
snake’s mouth with the other hand and ex
amined his teeth with all the shrewdness of
a horse jockey in a horse race. The market
in snakes will not probably be overstocked
if the “beauties” are all as dangerous look
ing, and particularly if the trade has to be
encouraged by the newspaper man turning
snake hunter.
Journalism in tho Metropolis.
From the ,%>ir York Eve.i ■ , Pont.
We advise fathers of families to look care
fully after their household reading during
the next ten days, because, unless we are
agreeably mistaken, the scandal and crime
tanks of our morning contemporaries must
by this time lie full. During the past fort
night they have Ix en giving their attention
almost exclusively to politics, and, of
course, in that period the real “news” must
have accumulated immensely. Many a
plumber’s wife must in that interval have
elope 1 with his “helper,” man} a butcher
boy run off with the “15 year-old daughter”
of an oyster-opener, many a bartender at
tempted suicide in a brothel, and many a
liackmun tried to kill his paramour with a
cart-ring. In fact, the variety of the tilth
and silliness which can be turned on is
doubtless very great, and when “Ananias”
and “Judos, 1 ’ and “Flopover.” and the
“Bilk” get through with the election, they
will make things lively in quiet homes with
their little pictures of life and mauuers.
PERSIAN SEERS.
Astrologers and Their Influence in the
Domains of the Shah.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
The monajem, or astrologer, is a power in
Persia. Ho is recognized as a man of
science, a member of a learned profession.
The chief astrologer is a high court officer,
from whose ruling there is no appeal, for
hisdecisions'are based upon knowledge that
is communicated directly from the stars.
Thus, if he decrees that the asylum of tho
universe must not start on a hunting expe
dition on Thursday, but that half an hour
after midnight on Saturday will bo the
fortunate hour, he is able to give irrefraga
ble reasons for his conclusions by showing
that Saturn is in the ascendant in one case,
while on Saturday night, at the precise time
mentioned, there will he a happy conjunc
tion of Venus.
If another astrologer is consul toil he will
give the same story. Every hour in the day,
and every day in the year, is thus worked
out as fortunate, indifferent or unlucky in
the astrologer's book of fate. ,
Besides these calendars they have as their
stock in trade a plumb-line, a level, a celes
tial sphere, and an astrolabe. The astro
labes are iu the form of a gigantic watch,
and are often beautifully made. Every
large town contains at least two astrologers,
and they are very far from being poor. A
Persian may find an astrologer very useful,
especially if ho be an officer and desires to
avoid some responsibility. Thus, suppose a
provincial Governor is ordered to the cap
ital, and that he does not want to go, what
more powerful reason for delay in starting
than to reply that he is waiting for a fortu
nate hour, and what easier than to induce
the astrologer to fail to find one? In ti e
meantime the officer has time to administer
tlie necessary bribes at court, and tho storm
blows over.
Istikhara, tossing up or the drawing of
the lot, is done with a rosary. A bead is
grasped at haphazard, “good.” “bad,” “in
different,” is ejaculated at each head till the
big terminal one is reached, and that decides
tlie question. Answers are given in conver
sation, Bargains are made or refused and se
rious acts are undertaken under the guidance
of the formula. Another way is to thrust a
knife into the leaves of the Koran or one of
the poetical books and be guided by what is
found at the place. The diviners are real
quacks, and gain their success by working
on'the fears of the people. The guilty party
in a scandal or criminal inquiry in his ner
vousness is provoked to do some act that
brings abopt bis detection.
MEDICAL.
WORKING PEOPLE
Are often in that most wretched state of
being, really too sick to work, but so sit
uated that they cannot afford to lose the
time it requires to take medicine and get
well. IjMs of time means loss ot money.
Medicine is needed to invigorate, regu
late and tone the system. Hut many
medicines make half sick people w holly
sick,* and time and money are lost iu
getting well after taking them.
The Liver is the cause of nearly all
bodily ailments, such as
Dyspepsia, Constipation, Headache,
Sour Stomach, Biliousness,
Colic, Low Spirits, Kidney Affections.
And a medicine like Simmons Liver Reg
ulator, that w ill removeandcurethe.se
disorders without causing of loss of time,
and strengthen and build up the worn
out body even while the pers< >n is at wo: k
is certainly a boon to working people.
