GEORGIA. Maj. R. J. Bacon says there were 5,000 partridges shipped from Baconton last sea son The bricks are being hauled for the new jail, at Darien, and work in earnest will soon bo commenced. A mule of A. L. Huggins broke its jaw while attempting to get loose from n post it was hitched to while in Carrollton Satur day. It is said that one of Newnan’s cotton buyers has cleared $1,500 per week on cotton transactions since Oct. 1, and is yet rolling up profits hand over fist. L. D. Brav, of VV inter ville, who farms on George Murrell’s place in Clarko county, runs a two-horse farm and cultivates sixty acres of land. This year he made fifty bales of cotton, losing three bales from the flood. A man brought into Carrollton Tuesday a strange-looking fowl, about the size of a wild goose and resembling one. It was pro nounced by experts to be a seafowl, known as the guillimot. Bud Connell bought it for a pet. The stock of dry goods formerly owned by J. C. King waasold at Griftin, Friday, at public outcry for fiOe. on the dollar, Bass Bros., being the purchasers. The goods in voiced nearly $9,000 and are nearly all new and of latest styles. Elberton is a moral and religious town. The roll of the three churches show a mem bership of about COO. Of th • 417 belong to the Methodist church 150 to the Baptist church, and several to tho Presbyterian. There are two solerdtd Sabbath schools, the roll of the Methodist; school numbering about 200 and the BapGit 100. On Wednesday last the people of Stewart county held aii election to determine whether the sale of liquor in that county should be licensed or not, and the vote re sulted in favor of prohibition by a majority of 489. Liquor was voted out of the county two years ago bv a majority of about 200. Both sides made a determined fight this time, and the Antis were confident of suc cess. Judge Fort held throe days’ court in Lees burg last week for the purpose of trying William Watkins (white) for murdering a negro man in Lee county last year. Wat kins went to Florida, where he lived under an alias, but was caught and brought back to Lee. The jury, after staying in their room all night, found a verdict of guilty, and Judge Fort sentenced him to the peni tentiary for life. A number of tramps have been woirving V. Tharp who lives about six miles from Americus, on the Southwestern Railroad, toward Macon. He ordered them off his premises. Wednesday night about 11 o’clock, his gin house was set on fire, by them and destroyed. There were four bales of cotton, the seed from twenty-one liales and a #250 gin, beside the building burned. One of the tramps was seen leaving the burning house. Americus Republican: Ben Wheeler says that he started to California in 1840, when th 71 gold fever raged so over the country. He bought a pick, a pair of cowhide boots, end some other fixtures, and went to Dan ville on the Flint, and when the man he was going out with saw him, he went crazy and was put in the asylum. That ruinod his chances of getting to the golden shores of the sunset State, and he came t>ack to Amer icus. If he had gone out lie would have been bothered with riches, like Flood, Fair and Crocker, and he is glad that he stayed at home, where he has taken the world easy, lived in pleasure and ease, happier than they with all their riches and troubles. Athens Banner- Watchman: On Wednes day night last about 11 o'clock the sluintier ing inmates of the Lucy Cobb Institute were aroused by a violent ringing of the front door bell. On examination it was found that a large size calf had lieen led up into the front porch and tied to the door bell. His friends having deserted him the animal decided I e would vacate the ritua tion, consequently the bell which rang pro fusely for some time was broken, and the inmates badly frightened. The next ques tion is who could have done this? Was it a member of the University of Georgia? Certainly not. Was it a resident of the city? No. Who was it? It was the calf itself. Next! Friday morning James Bass, of the Twenty-eighth district of Sumter county, found tracks of a large animal around hiis pig pen, and immediately started his dogs after it. They soon jumped a large wild cat. which seemed to be as big as any of his dogs. The animal ran about a mile and a quarter and found that it could not shake its pursuers, turned on them ferociously, and for a half hour, gave them a terrible clawing. Tho cat would climb tqion a branch, give on angry growl, and light upon a dog’s back, fifteen feet off, carrying him to the ground. The other dogs would pile in, and young Bass helped all he could, with a heavy pole. The cat was finally killed, but the dogs will need lots of patch ing and nursing to fit them up for another fight of that sort. Jack Rivers, a hard-working and well thought of young man who lived near Ar lington, came to his death last Thursday evening by a very singular accident. He had been to that evening and was returning home, when at Rivers’ Crossing, four miles east of Arlington, the mule became frightened at some thing and threw him from the buggy. He was thrown forward, and in falling his head got caught in the running (bar of the buggy iu which he was riding, and his neck was broken. In this maimer he was dragged home by the mule. He was alone when the accident occurred, the place of accident having been ascertained by indi cations of a struggle at the place named. Mr. Rivers was the main stay and support of his mother and sister, and was a deserv ing young man in other respects. He was about 23 years of age. Americus Rejmblican: A prominent and truthful gentleman told us that he was in fermed that the grave of an old gentleman, who died several months since, in an adjoin ing county had been desecrated and the body robbed and replaced in the earth. He said, a few months ago, an old and much es teemed gentleman died. He was pretty wealthy, and well known in Americus. He was buried in a very handsome coffin, cost ing S3OO, if not more, and his grave clothes were of tho finest material. as his family didn't care for ex pense, and thought their love and affection could not be shown in a more appropriate form to tho deceased. He was placed in tho grave and they returned to their grief stricken home. A few days ago a man walked by the grave, and was attracted to it by a large number of green flies and the disturbed condition of the grave. Surmis ing that something was wrong, ha went to the lata home of the deceased, reported what he had observed at the grave, and an investigation proved that tho body had been exhumed, the coffin and grave clothes stolen and tho body hastily thrust back mid re-covered with dirt only a few inches below the surface of tho earth. It was greatly decomposed, and emitted such hor rible stench as to nearly suffocate the par ties employed to reinter it. It is supposed that the robbery took place soon after the burial, as no one could hardly have stolen tho things, while the fearful stench rested on them without being discovered. We have been requested to withhold the names of the family’ and that of the dead man, un til the guilty parties can be detected and brought to punishmeut, it possible. But in view of the fact that there are so many tram| >s around, It is possible that some of them may have committed tho deed and run the article* off and disposed of them in tome large city. FLORIDA. . J. B. McElwain is going to erect a hand some $2,000 residence at DeFumak Springs in the near future. At Fairbanks the residence owned by the Bhaw Bros., of Chicago, and recently va cated by Dr. A. S. Dana, was burned Friday. The schooner Lucy Wheatley has arrived in Palatka with 500 tons of railroad iron for the Orange Belt line. There are 2,000 tons now on tho way for tho same road. The train employes on the Atlnntic and 'Western railway are on duty from 7 a. m. | to 0 p. in., or fourteen hours every day. j They are handling considerable freight. Bradford county seems to lie booming. The cotton crop was unusually successful lliis year, and tne orange crop a fair one. The sugar cane crop was immense, and farmers have not had much bad luck with stock this fall. The receipts of the ball of the Gainesville Guards were SIOB. Although it was not given for speculation, the boys came out übout S3O ahead. Socially and otherwise, it was certainly the most successful ball ever given in Gainosville. The decision in tho case of W. M. Knox vs. L. Montgomery, for libel, tried two years ago in thu Circuit Court in Alachua county, in which a judgment for $7,000 was obtained, was roversed this week by a de cision of the Supreme Court. At Pensacola, Thursday, Willie, 14 -year old son of T. E. Wells, fell from a dray near his father’s residence, on West Hill, and broke one of his arms above tho elbow. The attending physicians say the elbow joint is badly shattered, and one of them thinks the arm may be stiff for tho re mainder of tho little fellow’s life. Thursday afternoon, as Rufus McNair was using tho turning lathe at the Lakesido Va riety Works at Madison, the piece of timber being operated upon became detached from its fastenings, and Hying through the air at terrific speed, struck Mr. McNair oil the nose, knocking him down and bi caking the bridge of that member of the face. Ex-Senator Charles W. Jones has some millionaire half-sisters in the West. Indies. Their name is also Jones. Mr. Jones’fath r was a surgeon in tho British army. His second son, John, who is an assistant ill tho National Library at Washington, is now with his father at Detroit, where he will remain, pending the completion of arrange ments looking to the relief of the ex-Sena tor. A Meridian gentleman, an Episcopal clergyman, who has been in Pensacola for several days past, has purchased for the sum of #6,000 tlie brick residence on West Belmont street near Padafox. Intending to reside in Pensacola he will use the purchase as his dwelling. He intends investing largely also in unimproved pro[xsrty on the East and West Hills, and in the neighborhood of Mr. Stoddard’s residence. He will also either take stock in the Pensacola, Gulf, Land and Development Company or pur chase from the company a large tract of then: land. Cedar Key View: An amusing, yet serious incident occurred Tuesday night, when a bear chased a Wolfe info a Berry good hiding place. One of Bradshaw’s bears got loose during the night and moling Mr. •Wolfe gave chase. Mr. Wolfe gladly gave the right of way, and fled to the nearest refuge, Mr. Berry’s room. The next day Mayor Finlayson caused both the bears to lie taken out on tho suburbs and shot. Wo echo the known sentiment of the public when we thank the Mayor for his prompt action in ridding our town of a vfery danger ous nuisance. The memory of the boy at Gainesville caused us to sudder every time we saw those dangerous brutes. Madison Recorder: Judge Witherspoon reixiri.s a singular occurrence in the follow ing; Before day last Sunday morning a ser vant was dispatched to the stables to food tho stock preparatory for an early start to the country by some members of the family. Returning, ho was startled to seo a large bright light in a tree which stood near the house, the light appearing to lie upon a limb which hung directly over the roof. He called for assistance and a ladder being procured the tree was scaled, and it was discovered that the fire originated from a spark from the chimney falling into the fork of the tree and feeding upon the dry wood of the decayed limb and other matter which found a lodgment therein, and had aim st burned the limb in two. Had this occurred earlier in the night no doubt the house would have been con sumed. As no fire had lieen in the chimney since tho day before it is presumed that the limb had been burning all night. Gainesville Adcocate: For some time past domestic felicity has not reigned supreme with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnson, of North Gainesville. On the contrary, life with them has been very discordant, owing, it is said to the actions of Mr. Johnson. He left yesterday morning sometime before day light, taking their only child, a boy of four years old, expressing his intention of driv ing out for a few miles to collect some money owed him. When daylight came Mrs. Johnson discovered that "her husband had taken with him all his wearing apparel, and had evidently left with the child with no intention of returning. Bhe came to the city and had a writ issued for the recovery of the child. The document was placed in the hands of Deputy Collins, who immediately started in pursuit of the travelers, but up to last night nothing liad been heard from them. Mr. Johnson came here from Alabama six or seven years ago, and was shortly afterward marriod to the woman he has now so mysteriously de serted. If the child can lie recovered, no special efforts will be made to induce Mr. Johnson to return. Pensacola Commercial: It has now transpired that the hasty construction put upon i lie telegram announcing the success of G. W. Gonzalez, in tho mandamus writ taken to tho Supreme Court, was faulty, and that, while the associated contractors gained a victory, the result for them is practically a defeat, as the writ was grant ed upon the old law, which prescribes a license without an examination for com petency. The Collector’s office has been flooded all day by colored stevedores who have been procuring licenses, ns manv as sixteen, it is said, having been licensed by 10 o'clock. It is highly proba: le, so a re porter of the Commercial is informed, that the “pool” will go to pieces, and that it will be a caso of “the divil take tho hindmost.” It is posi tively asserted, however, that the Steve dores’ Benevolent Association No. 1 will keep aloof from tho colored man, uud work only on vessels employing A’liite men exclu sively. The association contractors claim that the tight is not yet done with, and that It will bo continued as soon as their counsel returns to the city. Their new line of action will be based u)ion the law of 1870, which prescribes that the Pilot Commissioners shall examine all stevedores and grant per mission to load vessels to only such appli cants as may prove competent. SOUTH CAROLINA. The Columbia Fair Association has been organized at Columbia. It will make the arrangements for all fairs hereafter. Near Ridgeville about a week ago a ne gro chopped his young wife to deutli with an ax for indulging in a camp meeting frolic. A ('barter was issued Wednesday to the Fort Mill Manufacturing Company, tlie #50,000 capital stock having Lieen sub scribed. It is rumored that the W estem Union Telegraph Company will soon secure pos session of the telegraph lines on tho Colum bia and Greenville railroad. A member of the Legislature in Darling ton county will Introduce a bill at the com ing session to have tlie mill dams in that couuty destroyed as a matter of health. The Edgefield Bangers have lieen reorgan ized, wjlh tho following officers: Captain, W. J. Talbert; First Lieutenant, E. C. Winn; Second Lieutenant, W. H. Siegle; Third Lieutenant, J. W. Brooks. The com pany has the usual numlier of non-commis sioned officers and thirty-two men. Tho trial of P. C. Budduth and Elford THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1887. Campbell for murder occupied the court at Greenville Friday. Sudduth killed a negro named Joe Ferguson some weeks ago in tlie woods near Chick Springs, in a quarrel over a game of cords. G'anip liell was the only eye-witness, and the ease against him for aiding and abetting the act was not pressed. Near Blackville Wednesday night John Cummings (colored) was sot and instantly k ll lot by Rivers Carroll (white). Cummings lived about three miles in tho country, and was shot at his house. Carroll lives about three-quarters of a mile from town with his grandfather. Both Carroll and Cummings were in town and while there had some ililn oulty about fodder. An inquest was held Thursday, and the jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. A commission was issued Wednesday by the Secretary of State to William L. Rod dey and William J. Roddoy, of Rock Hill, who desire to establish themselves into a private corporation to lie known as the Southern Loan and Improvement Company, which will liave $150,000 capital, divided into $1,500 shares. The principal place of business will be at Rock Hill. The company will buy, sell and improve real estate, buy and sell bonds, etc., and make loans of money. Camden Journal: It is an outrage upon tlie good citizen who pays his lax os, as he has to pay for the delinquent as well as his own. It should not be tolerated any longer, and if there is any power under our consti tution permitting a sale and good title to the purchaser it should lie exercised at ouee, and thus relieve the good citizen from the unjust burden that now rests upon him of paying his neighbor’s tax as well as his own. At the coining session the legislature should remedy the evil. Two unknown negroes created quite a sensation in tho Liberty section of Pickens county Monday. They were armed to the teeth with pistols, razors and knives, and passed through the yards of several citizens and shot,at whoever could be seen. Wom en and children were badly frightened and tlie community alarmed. The citizens armed themselves and pursued the negroes. One of them received a slight wound, but made his escape. The other was captured and is lodged m jail. Mr. W. F. Gary re ceived a wounu iu the hand while arresting tlie negro. Both negroes were unknown, and their desperate acts cannot be ex plained. Colleton Press: Wo are informed that a syndicate of Western gentlemen are con templating purchasing 200 acres in close proximity to the depot, for the purpose of building factories here. It is also said that the principal parties in this scheme are Messrs. Studebaker and Oliver, wagon and plow manufacturers, of South Bond, Ind. Both of these gentle non contemplate erect ing factories here, so that they will be able to supply their large Southern trade more readily. In connection with these gentle men there are several other Westem manu facturers who propose building branch fac tories here. We are told that these gentle men are now in Charleston making the necessary arrangements, and will be here some time during the latter part of the pres ent week. The South Carolina Bar Association will meet in Columbia on Dec. 7, and the annual address will bo delivered by the Hon. Joel Prentiss Bishop, of Cambridge, Mas-., the celebrated author of a number of lawbooks. Tho subject of Mr. Bishop’s address is: “The Common Law as a System of Reason ing; How and Why Essential of Good Gov ernment; What its Perils, and How Avert ed.” This address will be delivered in the hall of the House of Representatives on Thursday evening, Doc. 8. In addition to the reports of committees and tho usual business, essays will lie read by Edward Mc- Crady, Jr., James Aldrich, Knox Living stone, Charles E. Spencer and David R. Duncan. The President, William H. Parker, has prepared a careful address, in which he will review tho noteworthy features of legislation for the past year ill the different States and in Congi ess. At Greenville Thursday the court was busy all day in tho trial of Jack Griffin for complicity in the Air Line railroad robber ies of last fall. Griffin is a big, burly clean shaven, red-faced man, thoroughly “horsey” in appearance and speech. He came here from the Piedmont races in the winter of 1885, and at the time the robberies occurred lie was quartered at the fair grounds with Heath’s raring stables, which were being wintered there. The stolen goods were found in the fair grounds. For a long time Griffin was believed to be the ringleader in the robberies. Much sympathy has been felt for him, however, and when the jury came into the court room and gave a verdict of "not guilty,” there was a momentary but vigor ous outburst of applause from the crowd standing before the railing of the bar. This disorder aroused J udge Pressley’s indigna tion. He ordered the Sheriff to lock the court room doors and then to bring before him tlie parties guilty of disorderly conduct. The Sheriff could not identify them, and a numlier of the audience were brought before the Judge and questioned. They every one denied it except D. C. Moore, who was ex cused as being one of the defendants in the cases, and, therefore, excusable. Afterward John Mayfield, Robert Fleming and a negro were reported as having joined in the ap plause. Mr. Mayfield was fined, and Mr. Fleming, having denied the charge, is to . have a trial. The following letter from Mr. Davis, is in answer to the invitation to him from the citizens of Columbia, to visit Columbia dur ing fair week: Beauvoir, Miss., Nov. 8, 1887. —Messrs. J. P. Richardson, Governor of South Carolina; W. Z. Leitner, Secretary of State; VV. E. Stoney, Comptroller Gen eral; A. C. Haskell, A. P. Butler, Commis sioners of Agriculture; Wm. K. Bachman, Assistant Attorney General -’John T. Rhett, Mayor of Columbia, S. C.; >l. L. Bonham, Railroad Commissioner; Angus P. Brown and others; Gentlemen —Soon after the receipt of your very gratifying letter, I be came so ill as necessarily to postpone this acknowledgement of it. It would have given me sincere pleasure to meet you ns invited. South Carolina has always boen the object of my affectionate admiration, for the same reasons which have made her the object of vengeful ha tred to the enemies of the South. Your children, and your children’s children, will have cause to preserve with reverential pride the record of South Carolina’s career, from the date of her Colonial existence down to the date of the meeting of your society. Her sons have left to poster ity brilliant examples of patri otic heroism, and not less valuable are the lessons taught by her sage of constitutional govertMinmt and community indepen dence. The teaching of Rutledge, of Cooper and Calhoun are a rich legacy to mankind in favor of the only sys tem of government which has ever had the sanction of Divine inspiration. 1 have named but three from the long roll of South Carolina’s statesmen whose wisdom and patriotism are enduring monuments of the State to which they give lustre. Long may the coming generations emulate the examples their fathers have left them. Again thanking you, gentlemen, both for myself and for my family, for your kind inVitatioij, which it would have been to them and to mo a sincere pleasure to accept, I am. very faithfully, your friend, Jeffer son Daais.

Our oldwt child, now six years of age, when an infant six months old, was attacked with a virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies failing, we called our family physician, who attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible rapidity, until the lower por tion of the little fellow’s person, from the mid dle of his back down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, painful, blotched and ma licious. We had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the Cuti cuiiA Kemkoies. The effect was simply marvel louß In three or four weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow s per son as white and healthy as though he had never been attacked. In my opinion, your valuable remedies saved his lift*, and to-day he is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of the disease having ever occur red. GEO.
