Smith ville News: Nothing succeeds like

Lee county to make his fortune, with only
a valise and $2 in his pocket, and he's got
the valise vet and great hopes of catching
the man who borrowed the *2.
At Albany Monday a stampede was

Bronwood Reporter: We hear of a good
many candy pullings, etc., of late. The
Reporter will take in some of them as soon
as we can raise enough money to buy anew
pair of jeans pants to supplant the ones we
are now wearing, they being too badly
worn for exhibition on such occasions.
Tallapoosa Journal: Taylor Mann, a
brick mason, who lives at this place, was
run over by the train and killed, three miles
this side of Edwardsville, Ala., on Wed
nesday night. The engineer saw him sitting
on the track, but not in time to stop his train.
Mann is supposed to have been drunk when
killed. He leaves a wife and two children.
Tallapoosa Journal: “You say there is
no room for more visitors iu Tallapoosa?”
queried a gentleman with a bright race,
who looked as if he had just arisen from a
good night’s rest. “No room, indeed. Why,
there are two beds in the room where I
bunk, and only eight of us sleep there.
Plenty room for five or six more yet, you
see.”
A negro on one of Gen. Phil Cook's plan
tations, near Smithville, was recently turned
out of the church for card playing. He
took it very much to heart and besought the
General to use his influence to have him “re
stored.” The General saw the stewards and
threatened them with the grand jury, where
upon they decided to restore tho fallen
brother, and did so forthwith.
There is a lady in the neighborhood of
Eatonton who has an embroidered counter
pane, which was her great-grandmother’s,
which was picked from the cotton bolls,
then from the seed, then carded, spun and
woven, all being the work of her hands: also
the thread with which it is embroidered was
prepared by her in the same way. It is
beautifully worked, and there are a great
many different stitches.
Ben Christian, who was reared in DeKalh
county, is now confined in the city prison at
Atlanta. He is id* erter from the United

United States Yrmy about two years ago,
and wassentto Jet* tt'zon barracks, Missouri.
He did not take to ar u f life, and about five
months ago deserted and came home. The

time Atlanta detectives were searching for
him, and bis arrest is the result.
Summer ville News: One day this week a
smtleman came to town who wanted to see
ohn D. Taylor. One of our citizens hear
ing the gentleman inquiring for Mr. Taylor
said to him: “When you sec the ugliest
man in town you have found your man:
that will be Mr. Taylor.” The gentleman
in looking for Mr. Taylor saw one whom ho
thought filled the description given to him.
But it proved to be another lawyer, Mr. J.
G. Hunt. Now Mr. Taylor is laughing in
his sleeve and saving he is glad there Is an
other man in town who fills the description
given of him.
A sensational wedding occurred at
SandersviUe Wednesday night last between
M. H. Bird and Miss Lilia Wail. Wednes
day, at 4 o’clock, was the appointed hour
for the ceremony, but as the young lady’s
father strongly objected to her being mar
ried by a Catholic priest, of which denomi
nation Mr. Bird is a member, the wedding
did not occur at the appointed time, and a
clandestine marriage was decided upon. Ac
cordingly, some time after dark, while the
father s attention was being distracted from
the proceedings, the young lady was taken
into the buggy from the back wav and
driven rapidly to the residence of Dr. A.
Mathis, where, with locked doors and oars
for a pursuer, they were happily married by
Rev. Godfrey Schadwell.
The Presbyterian By nod of Georgia, at its
meeting in Home last week, adjourned with
out establishing the proposed female col
lege, to be under the control of the synod.
There is a very strong feeling among the
members of this wealthy and influential
denomination in favor of a female college.
It is contended that the other religious sects
in the State have schools for the higher
education of their girls, and that these
schools exert a wonderful influence over the
minds of the young women, which clings to
them, and is easily discernible in after
years. A great deal more depends upon the
school than is at first imagined, and it is ex
ceedingly probable that by the time the
next svnod convenes, a plan will have
been formed looking toward an early
organization.
Ellijay Courier: Judge Thomas P. Greer,
of the County Court, no doubt thinks that
bricks are a good thing, but he wonld, too,
no doubt, rather suggest where they are
placed. Sheriff M JL Cox not living a
skilled mason is rather careless sometimes
where he lays them. On yesterday evening,
in the passage of the court house, the Sheriff
was removing some brick piled up behind
one of the doors. Judge Greer was dirink
ing heavily, and some interference on his
part brought on some words, when he drew
a brick to pelt the Sheriff when the latter
pushed him away. The Judge let fly his
brick, but missed its mark, and the Sheriff
replied with one that struck the Judge on
the bead, knocking him down. The Sheriff
kicked him a time or two when friends in
terfered, and all was quiet along the Poto
mac last night
A curious accident happened Saturday
night to an anti-Prohibitionist at Atlanta.
Louis Taylor, a negro boy, who drives a
wagon for Stocks, coal dealer, dislocated his
jaw by cheering for the success of anti
prohibition. As long as the fellow %nild
shut and open his mouth at will ho did not
regret the efforts that Ins shouts caused him
to make, but the moment his jaw became
dislocated and he could not close his mouth,
be began to entertain serious doubts as to
the propriety of yelling as loudly as he had
been doing. The accident frightened Taylor
greatly, and he almost went crazy with
tear. At about 4 o’clock Sunday morning
his friends carried him to the office of Drs.
Westmoreland & Howell, where with but
little trouble his mouth was closed, aud he
was sent on his way rejoicing.
James Balford. residing five miles east of
Hartwell, had bis barn entirely destroyed
by fire Saturday night The loss consists of
a good barn, about 4,000 bundles of fodder
and a considerable amount of hay, co'.ton
•eed, etc. A fine colt and a mule are suffer
ing greatly from burns. The fire was, no
doubt the work of an incendiary. Hack
Khiflet and Frank Khan, both colored, have
been lodged in jail on pretty strong sus
picion. Hr. Balford was not at, home at
the time. From discoveries made it seems
possible that an effort had also been made
toburn bis dwelling. Mrs. Balford says she
P°P plainly and got up and
looked about the bouse, aud it is supposed
that she scared the incendiary off. In a
very short time the barn was discovered
burning. Matches were round at one corner
of the dwelling.
Smithville News: When we arrived in
Leesburg last Sunday night the genial host
of the Forrester House assigned us to a room
in which we found two other newspaper
men—T. P. Green, of the Albany News,
and W. K. Pilsbury. 'of the Amencus Re
corder. Later on came Tison, of the Indian
River, Fla., Mirror. Up to this time we
had dwelt together in perfect harmony, but
“a change came o’er the spirit of our
dreams.” The Recorder man weighs 110
! pounds, and Tison near ISO. They occu
i pied the same bed, and on getting into it, it
; fell through with a crash, the slats breaking
i in-half. Then words ensued as to who had
; done it, Tison blaming it on the Recorder,
and the Recorder berating Tison. But tho
latter settled all doubts as to the Jonah in
the crowd by moving to the bed occupied by
the .Smithville News and the Alliany News,
which also came down beneath his weight.
New furniture was then ordered, and after
ward everything went well.
Ty-Ty correspondence Macon Telegraph:
Friday last being weekly review day at
Mayflower Academy, and Mr. M. B. Pitt
being a patron of the school, and having
never attended one of the reviews. Prof.
Brantley decided he would get him there,
sent five of the larger boys to his store for
the purpose of carrying him to the school
room. It seems that Mr. Pitt had an idea
of their coming, and had Marshal Green
and several of the boys posted for the occa
sion. As soon as the schoolboys made their
appearance the Marshal, with his posse,
formally arrested them and marched them
off to the calaboose and locked
them up. When the professor learned
the fate of the boys he sent a
delegation of girls after them. However,
as the girls carried Mr. Pitt along Marshal
Green shied around the gilds and hied him
self to the calaboose and let the boys out,
after they had had a good fright. They
begged for their release, promising not to
go after any other man that did not want to
go to the school house. Altogether they
had a good deal of amusement at tho boys’
expense. It is said they do not want to see
the calabcoie since the occurrence.
At Sparta Saturday night, about 11
o'clock, Dr. A. F. Durham, while returning
home from his office, was assaulted on the
main street of the town, not far from Col.
J. T. Jordan’s corner. As he was walking
along on the sidewalk he was passed by a
negro, whom he did not recognize, but to
whom he said “Good evening.” He then
heard a clicking noise, and on turning to
see the man, he was fired upon by the stran
ger. The ball grazed his forehead, slightly
breaking the skin. The man then rushed
upon him, jerked his walking stick from his
hand and knocked him down and over into
the ditch. His assailant then looked at him
good and turned and ran, and has not
been seen or heard of since. The doctor’s
head was considerably bruised and made to
bleed profusely, but he was not permanently
injured and is now up and doing well. All
that he knows about the negro is that he
was black, low and stout, and wore a gray
coat, but thinks he would know him if he
should see him again. All the circum
stances are to the effect that the doctor was
taken for someone else, and that as soon as
hiR assailant saw his mistake he made off.
Such is the doctor’s opinion also.
Tom Hadley, who was put on the Atlanta
police force last April ana was discharged a
month ago, is circulating a peculiar story.
Here it is in his own language: “When I
was discharged from the force,” says
Hadley, “I owed something over S2O on my
police uniform, and the city owed me sl7.
When I turned in the city’s property, Chief
Connolly wanted to appropriate the sl7 to
tho payment of my uniform, and wanted
me to give up a part of the uniform to
make it even. You know that we
pay for our uniforms in monthly in
stallmeuts. I declined to do so, but
said I’d give up the entire unifo.ra and
take my money. He declined to do this,
and then I said I'd keep all the uniform.
But I ain’t got it now. A few days ago
someone carried a note to my wife which
had my name at the bottom, asking for the
uniform, and got it.” Ex-Policeman Had
ley exhibited tne note. It was miserably
written and used very offensive language
After ascertaining the facts. Halley secured
the note aud, surrendering it to Chief Con
nolly, asked for an investigation. Tho
chief has detectives looking into the matter,
and says that he will show some sensational
developments in a day or two,

PURSUED BY PIRATES.
Reminiscences of the Early Days of
St. Augustine.
From the Pnlatka (Fla.) Xews.
B. Oliveros, father of the efficient County
Clerk, is 88 years old, and is as vigorous as
are most men at SO. His mind is equally
j well preserved and he delights to tell of the
rough experience of his life in the long,
long ago. Mr. Oliveros is a fluent talker
and the reporter could never tire of listen
ing to his vivid descriptions of the ups and ,
downs of his boyhood days.
In the year 1821 Mr. Oliveros was a sailor
between this port and Cuba. On one of his
outward trips during that year his vessel
was captured by the Barbaretta, a pirate
ship, and the Captain and crew of the mer
chantman .were put in irons and subjected
to the most cruel treatment at the hands of
the pirates. The object of the pirates was
of course plunder, and they demanded gold,
which they knew must be aboard our hero’s
ship, but the crew were obstinate, and re
fused to divulge the hiding place of the
coveted treasure. The pirates for some
reason did not put youug Oliveros in irons
with his companions, but it seems that they j
expected to find out from him where the I
money was concealed, but in this they were i
disappointed.
After using all kinds of threats and abuse j
to extort, from the Captain, the where
abouts of the precious metal and having
failod, they threatened to hang the entire
crew, and were getting ready to put their
threat into execution when young Oliveros
came on deck to remonstrate with them
against committing such an act when he
was struck on the head and felled to the
deck.
The pirates concluded to make one more
search for the gold, and while they were en
gaged in the search our hero regained con
sciousness and went to where the money
was, and had just reached the deck when he
heard the freebooters returning from an
other portion of the ship.
Oliveros knew that if they saw the money
they would take it from him, and looked
hurriedly around for some place to conceal
it, and espying a large water cask he rushed
up to it and threw the money into the bung
hole. The pirates angrily demanded of the
obstinate young man to tell them where the
money was for the second time, but he was
immovable. Thev then held a consultation
and decided to ta£e the captain and crew
onto their own ship, and set young Oliveros
and a small cabin ooy adrift in their vessel,
which they did. The pirate ship then put
out to sea, leaving our hero to the mercy of
wind and wave.
Tho gallant young Spaniard, with the aid
of the boy, set about devising means of
reaching the land. Afrer being tossed upon
the billowy deep for two entire days, almost
starving, they succeeded in reaching St.
Augustine. Those of our readers who read
in cheap periodicals accounts of the daring
deeds of murder and plunder upon the
high sea* by pirates, can hardly realize
that we have living right here in our
midst a man, hale and hearty, who has
had the misfortune to fall into the hands of
genuine pirates, but such is the fact, and
every word of the above narrative can be
vouched for by a most honorable gentleman
living in our city to-day, and that man is
Bartolo Oliveros. The old gentleman is in
excellent health, and we wish for his
children, grandchildren and great-grand
children that his life may yet be prolonged
to delight them, as they are wont to gather
around him, with true stories of the long
ago, when he was a boy.
MR. DISSTON’A RETURN
From a Trip Over the Scene of His
Sugar Operations
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union.
Mr. Hamilton Disston and Mr. John L.
Hill returned yesterday from their trip to
Floradelphia and Runnymede, the two new
towns which have been started in the re
claimed lands district. Mr. Disston is well
known as the Philadelphia millionaire who
has spent considerably over $1,000,000 in
Florida investments.
One of the late investments in which Mr.
Disston is interested is a plant for manufac
turing the cane into refined sugar. This is
being done on a large scale. A representa
tive of the Times- Union called upon him
yesterday afternoon, and gained some in
formation regarding the mill aud the inten
tions of its owners.
The mill is complete in every particular,
and will take the crude cane and, before it
has been turned out in marketable form, it
will lie transformed into granulated sugar
equal to any made. It will have a capacity
of seventy tons per day.
The plantation on which the mill is situ
ated had about 100 acres in cane this year.
All except sixty acres will be used for
planting the next season’s crop. These
acres will be allowed to ratoon next year,
and 100 acres in addition have been
planted. They expect to have about 500
acres in cane for the next season’s crop.
Mr. Disston, in speaking of the sixty acres
which will be left after the planting is done,
and which will lie ground more as an exper
iment and to see how the machinery works,
gave the following figures: An acre of
ground will produce about forty tons of
cane, which will average 150 pounds of su
gar to the ton. This would make 6,000
pounds of sugar to each acre, or 300,000
pounds of sugar for the sixty acres. It is
estimated that the mili can handle the
growth of from 800 to 1,000 acres.
Capt. R. E. Rose has supervision of the
entire operation, the erection of the ma
chinery being under charge of Mr. Henry
G. Morris, of Philadelphia. For the practi
cal working, Mr. Hazard, a man of large
experience in the sugar mills of Cuba, will
have charge.
Regarding the drainage operations and
the reclaimed lands, which Mr. Disston
visited while absent, he spoke as follows:
“We visited the several lakes and canals
at the head of our drainage system. The
surfaue of tho lakes have been maintained
at a low level during the past season, and
none of the reclaimed lands have suffered
from overflow during the rainy season just
past. We are just completing a canal from
Lake Ilatchneh t into Lake Kissimmee, hav
ing already reached tho sand ridge on the
northwest margin of the lake. This canal
will aid to rapidly carry off the rainfall, and
will provide a direct route from Floradel
phia to Kissimmee City aud Runnymede.
We are gradually moving the b ase of our
operations southward, and will soon estab
lish a shipyard for building our dredges at
Floradelphia.
“Our operations in the vicinity of lake
Okeechobee are being steadily pushed for
ward. One of the dredges is engaged in
cutting a canal, leading from the lake to
ward the head of Shark river on the Gulf
coast. We will soon put another boat into
service there, which at one operation will
complete a canal 60 feet wide. Our engi
neer, during the past summer, has had a
series of surveys made, under which it has
been established that a perfectly feasible
line for a drainage canal exists in that re
gion, and that no insurmountable obstacles
exist in-eventing its construction.
“This work is being prosecuted on a line
we have long since determined upon; it
will hold Lake Okeechobee, which is the
groat natural reservoir for impounding the
storm waters, at a reduced level and re
claim several hundred thousands of acres of
rich bordering land in addition to those al
ready improved by our operations. This
canal will be constructed of sufficient width
and depth to fully attain the desired end,
and I am pleased to say is directly in the
line with the recommendations made by the
St te agents, who some time since visited
our operations.”
