6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A White Boy at Lincolnton Beats a Colored Boy to Death with a Stick in Self-Defense A Colored Child Burned to Death Near Clinton A Failure at Fort Valley. GEORGIA Contractor H. B. Treadwell is getting to gether the material for the new Brirsenick brick building on Bay street, Brunswick. Rev. John W. Watts, of Taylor’s creek, Liberty county, left last Thursday for De- Land, Volusia county, Florida, where he expects to make his home in the future. Mrs. Dr. Sarah Barkwell, of Laurens Hill, Bibb county, accidentally caught fire at her home yesterday, and was so severely burned that the physicians think she will not re cover. At Fort Valley Tuesday, the store of John Hartley was closed by the Sheriff. He owes several houses in Macon, which it is thought caused the step. His liabilities have not been ascertained as yet. Thomas Avery, the clerk on the steamer Ada who killed the negro Rufus Bailey at Newton last week, was arrested in Albany Saturday night and taken to Newton. His commitment trial was set for Tuesday. February, 1888, will mark the centennial of the public school interest of Brunswick. In that month in 1788 the records show that the Legislature took active stops to the establishment of a free school in Glynn county. VV. A. Poe, of Macon, received a letter Tuesday from a Northern city, in which the writer states that he holds a note given in 1842 by a citizen of Macon, long since dead, which ho thinks some of his descendants would pay if presented. There will soon be a second Scarlett Block in Brunswick. F. M. Scarlett, of Owens’ Ferry, will soon begin the erection of a two story block on the lots adjoining D. J. Dil lon’s tabby, on Newcastle street, where Dunn's store originally stood. It was rumored at Brunswick on Tuesday that a riot occurred Monday on board the steamer Cracker Boy, in which the colored Stewart, George Fraser, was either killed or seriously wounded. One rumor was that Capt. Clubb struck him, and another was that Purser White cut his throat. Mrs. Clara Wheeler, a daughter of John E. Way, who lives about seven miles from Hinesville, on her return homo yesterday from church saw a large eagle in the yard making off with a fowl. She ran in the house, got the gun, blazed away and down came the eagle with a broken wing. With a stick she finished him. The establishment of the Commercial Bank of Albany seems to be assured. The books for the subscription of stock were opened Monday, and over SBO,OOO stock was taken and the first installment of 20 per cent, paid in before noon. The bank will be authorized to begin business under its charter on a capital stock of $50,000, uud this amount is now in sight. Treasurer Hurdeman received the follow ing taxes Tuesday: From Dooly county, $2,282 58; from Henry county, $2,200; from Gordon county, SI,BOO. Besides paying warrants on account of disabled soldiers, he paid State Lunntie Asylum monthly war rant of $14,583 88, and several others of minor importance. Assistant Treasurer Speer is expected home very shortly, from an extended trip through the North. A serious altercation occurred at Pearson between Conductor Bishop and Engineer Allen on the Brunswick and Western rail road Tuesday morning. The cause could not be learned, only t hat Allen was under the influence of whisky. Allen cut Bishop's armfbearly off and inflicted several other wounds. Alien left the train and flew to the woods, leaving his train on the main line. The fireman brought the train to Waycross. Conductor Bishop will recover. A meeting of the Augusta factory opera tives was held in the factory hall Tuesday night for the purpose of subscribing to the exposition. The ojieratives and the people in that portion of the city are enthused, and subscribed liberally for persons of their means. Among the Augusta factory opera tives alone about SSOO was subscribed. They claim that whatever benefits Augusta will benefit them, and say that they are willing even to subscribe more if necessary to make the exposition a success. One night last week while two brothers by the name of Jenkins, living near Sawdust, Columbia county, while out hunting, bayod a ’possum in a log, and while the elder brother was cutting the log the other at tempted to pass him, but his foot slipped, Causing him lo fall under the blade of the ax, which split his skull open and caused a small portion of the brain to exude. Dr. D. L. Peeples was called at once to see him, and, strange to say, the little follow is still alive arid doing remarkably well. Monday afternoon the wife of Allen Goolsby, (colored) living near Clinton, left her children in the house and went to the spring some distance off to wash some clothes. During her absence a Mr. Roberts passed by her house and found one of the children, about four years old, screaming from pain, caused by burns, its clothes hav ing caught fire. Everything was done to relieve the child, but it’ died in great agony that night. This is the third child of this woman who has shared a similar fate. Tuesday afternoon when the Southwest ern train was entering t'ue union depot at Macon a negro man and white girl, who had been standing on the platform of tire rear coach, jumped off, and were seen to go to gether up Plum street without going through the depot. Their conduct had been noticed on the train by the passengers, and finding themselves objects of observation arose from their seats and went out upon the platform as the train neared Macon. The matter was reported to the police who could find no trace of them. At Lincolnton Monday a difficulty oc curred at Tyler's mill between the lti-year old son of Thomas Cai-tledge and a colored l>oy by the name of Tom Strother, in which the latter was killed, It apuears that the negro had used some r ather impudent lan guage to young Cartledge a few days previ ous to the affair, for which the latter had struck him, and Monday, when they met at the mill, the difficulty was renewed by the negro, who seized a crowbar and started toward the youth as if to strike him with it, when the latter struck him several blows on the head with a stick, causing his death Tuesday. Coroner Knox was immediately summoned and an inquest was held, the verdict of the jury being justifiable homi cide. There has been no appointment vet in the office of Solicitor-General of tile Stone Mountain circuit. The Leglature declared there was a vacancy in the office, but there appears to be some doubt about the matter. It is understood that Attorney-General An derson will give an opinion in regard to the matter. So far there has been but one ap plication for the appointment, that being made by Col. John S. Candler, of DeKulb county. The friends of the present incum bent, Solicitor-General Jones, have hud sev eral conferences with Gov. Gordon, tho ob ject being understood to be protesting against the appointment of any one else other than the present incumbent. It is likely that some time will elapse before the matter is settled, in the meanwhile Solicitor-General Jones performs tho duties of the office. The vacancy in the Agricultural Depart ment, caused by tho death of Prof. Mc- Cutchen, has already excited the attention of several parties. Among those who have applied is William Warning Habersham, M. E., who lias contributed a nuiulter of articles to the Dixie Magazine upon the mineral resources of Georgia. The office has no regular salnry attached to it, and Commissioner Henderson said Tuesday that it was exceedingly doubtful if the office would be filled, and that if he concluded to fill the vacancy he would be obliged to choose someone who did not have as an ob ject a large salary. Prof. McCutcheu was confessedly tho best geologist in the State, and the department realizes that it would be almost impossible to find a man who has the same amount of information in regard to the geological formations in the State. The following ex-Confederate soldiers, Tuesday, received the benefits from the appropriations made by the Legislature for disabled soldiers: James L. Bond, Forsyth county, received $lOO for the loss of both eyes; lie was a corporal in Company U, Thirty -sixth Georgia, Cumming's brigade, and was wounded at the battle of Nashville. R. W. Herod, Morgan county, received $25 for a disabled shoulder; he was a private in Company B, Twenty-third Georgia, Phillips’ brigade, and was wounded at the battle of Gres wold vilie. G. B. Millican, Pike county, received $.50 for disabled rigid arm anil right leg; he was a private in Company H, Forty-fourth Georgia, Pole’s brigade, ami was ut the battle of Gaines’ mill, seven days’ fight, “wounded through left hand witli ball, and through right wrist with ball, and in back on right hip by four different balls passing out through right thigh, disabling arm, leg, back and band.” Dawson villa -Votes; Just before the mar riage ceremony in the Methodist church last Thursday night a circumstance occurred which was a scathing reflection ujion the good breeding of every person engaged in it. Before the arrival of the bridal put ty a number of persons, as they entered the church and passed down the aisle, were loudly cheered. Of course it is unnecessary to say that a great majority of the people pres ent, severely disapproved of the conduct. We give two instances: A nice, refined and well bred young lady, as she passed down the aisle to the seats reserved for the relatives of the bride and groom, was loudly cheered. The minister who was to perform the ceremony, and pastor of that church, as he passed down the aisle to the pulpit, was loudly cheered. This was repeated in two other instances. The pastor, rising in the pulpit, requested there should bo no further stamping of the floor, reminding those en gaged in it that they were in the Lord’s house. It is almost imj#-sible to under stand how a person of good breeding, who claims to have any respect for young lady hood, or for God’s ministers or God’s church, could be guilty of engaging in such shame ful proceedings. FLORIDA. Capt. James Williams, of Dennellon, died a day or two ago. Punta Gorda can now boast of a military company of twenty-live men, 0 feet high and over. A post office has been established at Heath, Brevard county, with Frank B. Sackett Postmaster. The Methodist church at St. Augustine is being moved from the Alcazar lot across Bridge street to the lot recently filled in by Mr. Flagler. Engineer Fred Bruce is engaged in com pleting tlie survey begun upon St. Augus tine bar last year. He reports thirteen feet at low water. The St. Clair Hotel, at Green Cove Spring, has been 'eased tor the season to J. FT Chaplin, senior proprietor of the Ocean House, Watch Hill, R. I. Editor Philip Isaacs will move the High land, Press from Sorrento, Lake county, to Oviedo, Orange county, and change the name to the Ovierlo Chronicle. W. D. liewis the large strawberry grower of Panasoffkee, agrees to furnish the Sum ter county department of the Sub-Tropical Exposition with thirty-two quarts of fine strawberries each day if they are required. The mill of the East Florida Land and Produce Company, at St. Augustine, H. S. Sloggett, manager, is now running at its full capacity, and turns out daily 40,000 board feet of lumber, and then cannot fill all orders. M. C. Long who has charge of the Stand ard Oil Company’s orange grove in West Orlando, is busily engaged inputting the premises in neat order. Mr. Long says that 8,000 trees will be set out on the forty-acre tract some time next January. Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, a posse of men went to the house of Peter 8011, a colored man living on the east, side of Su wauee county, ana took Ilka out, together with four girls, and cruelly beat them. The community is indignant at tho outrage. William P. Edwards, aged TO, died at Gainesville Monday night. He had been a readout near Flomington, Marion county, since 1850, until he removed to Gainesville, about three years ago. Ho has been a mem ber of the Baptist church for over fifty years. It is rumored that a portion of the old Dragoon lot at St. Augustine, now occupied by the negro public school, but recently sold by the United States government to H. M. Flagler, will be used by that gentleman as n site for a handsome Presbyterian church, to be built and donated by him. Anew variety of ducks have appeared on the St. John’s river, about thirty miles south of Palatku, nearly oue-third larger than those usually seen there. They lire de scribed as of a brow n color, flesh and legs yellow, very fat and juicy aud of most ex cellent flavor. The officers of tho Florida Orange Auc tion and Forwarding Company are quite busy making the final arrangements for tho convention of the orange growers of tho State and the dealers of Florida fruit at the North and West, to lie held in Jacksonville under the auspices of the company on Dec. 1, 2 and 8. The recent cold snap has undoubtedly frightened the orange growers, and the con sequence is that, fruit is being pushed for ward more rapidly than over. It is eiti mated that between 11,000 and 8,000 boxes of the fruit passed through Jacksonville Tues day, most of which was handled at the Waycross depot. At Gainesville Tue-dav a colored woman named Murray, while kindling the fire, set the lamp on the floor, from which her dress caught fire. Hhe ran from the house in her fright, but before help arrived her clothes were nearly burned from her body. Bhe was still alive at last accounts, but no hopes were entertained of her recovery. On Saturday, Nov. lit, a difficulty arose between two colored men near W. H. Trax ley’s store, five mill s northeast of Kentaffey. It seems timt one of them, a colored teacher in that district, owed board to the other, who is named Taylor. Taylor having met him near the store, demanded payment, but the other remonstrated mid shot him in the throat. Several witnesses and jurors failed to get pay for their attendance on the Circuit Cou*t at Palatka during ttie last term, lie cause they did not ask for it until after the pay-roll was approved by Judge Finley. Mr. Hargrove aunounccd on the second day of the term that all witnesses aud jurors would he paid in open court after they were discharged. Tho steamer Ella D., which had lain for months below Murder Creek Bends, unable to ascend the Conecuh river on her way to Andalusia, Ala., with a cargo of fertilizer, has gono to within forty miles of her desti nation, at which point, she will discharge her cargo and then return to Pensacola. It is probable that the steamer will lie put into soma other run. The sjieciul train from Punta Gorda, with President Cam Her, Maj. Conant, Maj. Cou per and Mr. Weeks, all of the Florida South ern railway, returned to Palatka Sunday night. The time made was the liest of any train going sout hof Palatka. The distance of 200 miles was made in seven hours and fifty-live minutes, including fifteen stops, the average running tin e being about forty miles an hour. The campmeeting at Turner City is in full operation. About 8,000 people were in attendance on Sunday, and eloquent ser mons were preached by Rev. S. H. Young and Rev. S. 11. Coleman. Somebody, sad to be from Palatka, had some liquor"smug gled on the ground, and either sold or given away, and as a result of it some got too much tangle-foot, and a slight difficulty occurred. Several were quite Boozy at the time the trains left. The St. Augustine fire department will have their first annual parade and inspection to-day. The department is a volunteer or ganization. and is composed of the following THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1887. companies: Vincent Hook and Ladder Com pany, John 11. Dowd, foreman; Ponce de Leon Steam I'ire Engine Company, J. C. Toshach, foreman; St. Augustine I ire En gine Company (colored), James Morris, foreman. Mr. William M. Ingraham is Chief of the department, and C. H. Dewell Assistant Chief. Orange Howes, of the Indian River Can ning Company, is in St. Augustine, looking after his iurge real estate interests. Mr. Howes says ttiat this company lias re-organ ized under a special charter, which allows them to carry on their work in both the Indian and Crystal rivers. The capital stock is $20,000. They can oysters, flsli and fruit. They are located at Fort Pierce and run in conjunction with their canning busi ness a freight and passenger steamer be tween Fort Pierce and Rockledge. Mr. Howes thinks a canal at St. Augustine would advance her to a place of great com mercial importance, as the Indian river fairly teems with fino fish and oysters, be sides the country along the river grows quantities of fruit and vegetables, anil now only wants some way to get these articles to market. Punta Gorda Beacon: There are three large fishing firms now shippingfrom Punta Gorda —John Savareso, Bloxani & Lewis, and Demere & Sullivan. They ship about 125 barrels, or from 10,000 to 15,000 fish daily. They all express themselves as well pleased with the fish and facilities for fish ing. The fish are much larger and more plentiful, and tho steamer has a shorter run than at Tampa. The only serious trouble is railroad rates. The following statement, given us by Mr. Savareso will explain the cause, if wo lose our fishermen. Freight from Tampa to Savannah, $1 50. “From Savannah empty barrels” 10c., wharfage free; total $1 (JO. Freight Punta Gorda Savannah $2. Savannah empty barrels 20c., wharfage oil fish 10c., empty hands 4c.; total $2 34. Mr. Savarese alone pays out SI,OOO per week in cash to his men, most of which comes to our merchants. We have no doubt that the Florida Southern railroad will do something in this matter, as they are doubly interested in the shipping, as well as the town. CHAINED HUMOR. Remarkable Letter From a Georgia Convi t Who Discusses Sundry Mat ters. , from the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. Dr. Willis Westmoreland, the principal physician to the penitentiary, has a very extensive correspondence, but it is doubtful if that excellent surgeon ever reeeceived as remarkable a document as the letter from “J. W. Livingstone,” a convict on the At lanta and Hawkinsville road, of the date of Nov. 9,1887. Livingstone is rather an old man, white, and is, perhaps, past 50 years of age. He was sent from Mu.-cogee county for bur glary, and has been in the penitentiary a few years. His term is not a long one, As sistant Keeper Shubrick remarking yester day that he did not think it extended over a longer period than six or seven years. Very little is known of the history of Liv ingstone, or of the causes that led hitn to violate the law and get in his present en tanglement, but it is believed that he is an old sailor, as he shows a striking familiarity with all matters pertaining, to sailing ves sels, and has many of the characteristics that belong to those who have spent years before the mast. Not long since Livingstone addressed to the department presided over by Col. Tow ers and Col. Shubrick a poetical romance, in which the fictitious “Flyiijg Dutchman” played a very Important part. The com position was hat without merit, and while it was very crude, it showed unmistakable signs of genius, and gave additional theory that its author was once a seafaring man. Assistant Keeper Shubrick has the romance in his possession, and intends making an effort to dispose of it to some paper for the benefit of the convict. Asa matter of course, if it is bought it will be upon the idea that it is a curiosity rather than a finished production. But the letter first alluded to. It is dated “Camp Ethiopia, near Means ville, Ga.,” and is addressed to “Dr. Willis Westmoreland, Atlanta, Ga.,” who is saluted as “Dear Sir.” The author begins by saying: Asa broken ankle and naked foot, with other circumstances beyond my control, prevent me from making prilgvimages beyond tne confines of this unique zoological collection, I am forced to appear before you in this guise In order to get a hearing. Spencer, Darwin and Huxley tell us that em bryonic man, for two or three months after con ception, is so nearly in appearance allied to moles, asses, hogs, dogs, ami various other ver tebrates in the same stage of existence, as to defy an expert naturalist to tell which from "tother.'’ These scientists also inform us that at a period further on in existence, embryonic man sjxirts a hairy robe from the sole* of his feet to the crown of his head, including whiskers, covering all the territory lying be tween the chin and the eyes. Again, his spinal column is adorned with a tail, which dwarfs his legs when their length is compared. He then surprises the beholders by projecting his hands and feet sideways, like those of a baboon. On these embryonic eccentricities naturalists have based a t henry t hat man is an evolution from the lower animals. To demonstrate man the outcome of the animal kingdom, they. In certain stages of embryonic existence, compare him with all his ancestors in the same stage, and triumphantly exclaim: “What is it? A goat, a kangaroo, or a hog?” If man is really an evolution from the lower animals, such as the goat and the hog, why should he not inherit many of their attributes? I have never heard of a naturalist win w-ustains such a theory, still it is plausible, and I doubt not that many of them secretly sustain it. Ido not know whether Dr Situs is a proselyte to the evolution theory or not, but his actions lately have caused me to suspect that he is, and that he labors under the idea that some men inherit the peculiarities of the beast from which they are descended, Imbued with the idea that he detects in me the “attributes,” if not the configuration of a hog, (to discover whether or no, 1 am a lineal descendant from tho uncult species, 1 have made investigation of my cotmleuance through the medium of a mirror, and as T can not detect sufficient testimony in niy features to base the hog theory upon) aiid as my hoofs are not encased in the natural shoes of a hog, I most respectfully appeal to you for the purpose of beggmg you to endeavor to eradicate such ungodly theories from his mind. From the moment my ankle was broken last spring up to date my injured foot has been as naked ns it was when I was born. 1 have repeatedly asked him to get tne something that 1 can wear on it, but it has amounted to just nothing. I am forced to wade through mud and rain when obliged to go out in bad weather. My foot is still far from well, and will never lie with such treatment. Will you kindly use your Influence to force him to cover my foot. 1 earned wear con vict shoes on it. It swells continually and pains me greatly at times. Would you please advise me what to do for it. Cant. James is in no w ise responsible for its condition. Dr. Sims, thou art the man. Very respeet|ully, J. W. Livingstone. The Dr. Sims alluded to Is the physician at “Canip Ethiopia,” and It is apparent that there is a very decided conflict of opin ion between physician anti patient in regard to the treatment of the wounded limb. It seems the doctor thinks it best that the foot should not bo covered, and the convict tak ing issue with t im, appeals to higher au thority. Dr. Westmoreland was at the camp not long since, but it is not known whether he covered the foot or not. The letter is written in a neat hand, the orthography and grammar as a rule good. Whatever the convict may have lieeu, it is evident that he has some education far above that of the men who are his present companions, ami in some way or other has gained a smattering of science that lie uses with some effect, though with not absolute accuracy. IJvingftone is entitled to the reputation attached to the best informed convict in “Camp Ethiopia.” It Is rumored that he will prepare in his leisure hours Aerial story in which convict life and treatment will play a very important part. In the meanwhile his effusions are collecting in the penitentiary department. “Close the door gently, And bridle the breath: , I’ve one of my headaches— I’m sick unto death." “Take 'Purgative Pellets,’ They're pleasant aud sure; I’ve some in my pocket I'll warrant to cure." Dr. Pierce's “Pleasant Purgative Pellets” are hoUi preventive and curative. CUTICURA REMEDIES.
