The liquor men of Oglethorpe county are
mad. A few' weeks ago they went quietly

sons, said to here! hot Prohibitionists, cap
tured and destroyed said petition. There is

been told that they will be indicted if they
sign another petition on the same subject
Oglethorpe will doubtless soon have ariother
vote on the liquor question.

At Macon Thursday Judge Speer sent an
order to Jailer Birdsong asking that he re
lease all United States prisoners confined in
the Bibb county jail. In compliance with
this order eight prisoners wei-o sot at liberty,
much to their own gratification. The pris
oners were in for various offenses against
the internal revenue laws. The cause of
Judge Speer’s action was the fact that Jailer
Birdsong complained that ther# were not
blankets furnished sufficient to make the
men comfortable. Mr. Birdsong says that
he applied to the United States Court au
thorities for the necessary supplies, and that
©uly six pairs of blankets were sent, and
that he could not afford to use the county
blankets for United States prisoners, anil
that they were suffering.
At Macon the United States Court has
been occupied in trying the case of John T.
Johnson vs. The Western Union Telegraph
Company. The suit for damages was based
on the allegation that the company failed to
deliver a telegram sent to Johnson from a
commission house in Omaha, July 10, 1887.
Johnson claimed to •have had a carload, of
melons ready for shipment to the firm, and
awaiting advices from them he called several
times at the office, and was told that there
was no dispatch for him. After it was too
late to send them he received the dispatch.
He was granted damages in the sum of 875
The case will be amiealed. The defense
claimed that Mr. Johnson failed to give
them his address, and that every effort was
made, by one of their most trusted messen
gers, to find Johnson when the dispatch
came.
One of the most interest ing episodes at the
hachelors’ banquet at Gainesville last
Thursday night was the receipt of a box
sent in by one of Gainesville's most culti
vated and brilliant young ladies. It con
tained a sheet of white paper, on which was
placed the following articles: First, a hand
somely embroidered crimson satin satchel,
containing a few matches, with the motto:
“A better match than you have male.”
Next, the picture of an owl, sitting on a
holly bush, motto; “You are alone in the
world.” Last, a beautiful brier wood pipe,
to the stem of which was tied an elegantly
embroidered tobacco pouch, made or
magenta colored satin; under these was
written: “Bulwer has said ‘there is more
solid comfort in a good pipe than in a g, od
wife,’ and you all appeal- to agree witit
him.” When this was passed around for the
inspection of the boys, everyone pronounced
it tne best hit that nad been given them.
Americus Recorder'. The beginning of the
end of one of the saddest casses ever known
in Americus occurred here Thursday after
noon. We refer to the sending of Mr. and
Mrs. S. 8. Sullivan to the insane asylum.
Only a few years ago 8. 8. Sullivan was
one of the staid, reliable business men of
Americus. He occupied a responsible and
lucrative position in a large establishment,
had been there for many years, and was
respected and esteemed for his integrity and
moral worth. The passion for drink was
his downfall. He grew to neglecting his
business until his employer, after giving
him month after month of trial, finally dis
charged him. A short time afterward he
was taken ill, and for a long time lay be
tween life and death. He finally partially
recovered, but he was so weak that be was
unable to fully do what was given him.
From one source to another his wife and
i children were driven in poverty, until
; finally, it seems, in pity for the poor unfor
tunates. their minds gave way, and only a
I lew days ago a jury was impaneled to see if
they vtereof sound mind. They were both
| adjudged insane, and Thursday afternoon,
under the care of Dr. 0. A. Brooks, were
taken to the depot and sent to Milledgeville.
Amanda Rowland, ft young colored
woman, was luuded in jail at*Cartersville,
Monday, on a charge of assault with intent
In kill.’ Last .Saturday morning Amanda
went to the residence of J. H. Ferguson,
near Taylorsville, and started to do her
week’s washing, using water from Mr. Fer
guson’s well. Mr. Ferguson denied her this
privilege, as the well was nearly dry and no
water could be spared. Upon this refusal
Amanda liecanie mad and very insulting,
hurling the worst kind of epithet* at Mr.
Ferguson, in presence of that gentleman’s
family. He commanded the woman to
desist, but the command was not obeyed.
She finally desisted, but left swearing
vengeance, saying thntshe would soon walk
over Mr. Ferguson’s grave. Nothing wax
thought, of her threats until Sundny night,
when Mrs. Ferguson, her eldest daughter,
and Mr. Warren Gaston, who happened to bo
visiting there at the time, suddenly became
very ill. A physician win called in, who
instantly stated that they hail been poisoned
with strychnine. The bucket of water on
the rear portico looked peculiar, and as the
three sick ones were the only persons that
had partaken of it, upon investigation
tracks corresponding to a woman’s shoe
were found near the bucket and Amanda
was at ouee suspected. Bhe was carried
before Justice Colbert where sufficient
evidence was adduced to warrant her re
moval to the county jail to await a hearing
before Judge Fain. The woman is only 2.
years of age, married, and has three chil
dren. At last accounts the poisoned people
wore up and out of danger.
Now that prohibition has been defeated,
nnd the sale of liquor in Atlanta made legal,
there is much speculation as to what will be
the license. The wine room men, and others
who will desire to go into the business, are
inclined to the opinion that it would bn un
wise to ask the present Council to fix the
amount of the license, as a majority of them
are Prohibitionists, and in voting will go to
tne limit, as the next best thing to cut down
the sale. It is reported on the streets to-day
that at the next meeting*..f Council, which
will lie held on Monday, a number of ordi
nances will lie introduced regulating the sale
of liquor. The t llowing is the complexion of
the City Council on the license question:
Alderman Hemphill is lor as high a license
as the law allows. Alderman John Gram
ling, who is in Boston, is for 81,000 lieenso
and restriction. Alderman Dorsey is for at,
l ast 81,500 license. Alderman Collier and
Councilman Mitchell favor a 82,000 license.
Councilman Green is for $1,500 license.
Alderman Mecaslin is a high license man.
Councilman Angier is for 81,500 lieenso.
Councilman Tanner is for 81,000 license.
Councilmen Rov, Bell, Boynton, Nelson.
Kinyon and it ice are Prohibitionists,
Councilmen Beutall aud Allen are wet
mat This list makes three pronounced for
82,000 license, four for $1,500 license, and
six prohibitionists who, though their views
are not announced, can probably be count
ed on to vote for $1,500 license. Two are
in favor of SI,OOO license, and two are very
wet. Altogether, it seems probable that a
$1 ,500 license will get from ten to thirteen
votes on noxt Monday, and it seems pretty
certain that, at least until the new Council
men and Aldermen go in, $1,500 will be the
figure. If all six of the Prohibitionists
should vote for a $2,000 license, there would
be a majority of one for that figure, but it
is by no means sure that all the Prohibition
ists will vote that way.
At Atlanta, Thursday memorial services
were held at the headquarters of the Pro
hibition party on Hunter street, over the
remains of Cnarnell Hightower, a member
of the Young Men’s Prohibition Club, who
died at St. George Hotel Wednesday morn
ing from the effects of a blow on the head
with a rook, thrown by some unknown per
son. The hall was comfortably filled with
leading members of the Prohibition party
of this city. It was draped in mourning,
and on either side of the stand banners stood
against, the wall draped with crape. In
front of tho stand were the remains
incased in a handsome casket, which
was covered with floral tributes. On
the stand were the Revs. H. C. Mor
rison, J. B. Hawthorne, J. W. Lee, N. Kiff
Smith and Rev. Mr. Ellis. In the back
ground of tho rostrum was a blackboard,
upon which the following words ware in
scribed: “In Memoriam. Died With His
Armor On. At Rest.” Dr. Morrison con
ducted the exercises, assisted by the other
members of the ministry who were with him
on tho stage. They were opened with sing
ing. followed with 'prayer by Rev. Virgil
N(across, who, in speaking of tho deceased,
said that he belonged to tho gallant baud
who had fought for tho cause of temper
ance, and had given up his life for
the cause he advocated. Dr. Morrison
delivered an address, in which he said that
the deceased was - ‘a martyr, who died for
his convictions," and he “wanted the mem
bers of the club and their co-workers to pay
special thought to the deceased and the
cause of his death. The deceased had lieen
true to his convictions, and his devotion to
that trust was the cause of his death. Lot
us, while we look upon the dust of our
fallen brother, pledge ourselves to eternal
vigilance and eternal war upon tile great
curse of ruin-selling. This is but the first
sheep. This is tho first offering of the
many that will follow in tho future of At
lanta, wreathed in blood. Atlanta has boon
baptized, at the opening of her victory,
Into her new relations with his blood. With
this prospect liefore us we can but look to
to the future with grave feelings." When
tho exercises had lieen concluded tho re
mains were escorted to tlie depot by the
Young Men’s Prohibition Club, beaded by
a brass band. The body was shipped to
Perrv for burial. Elbert Ware (colored)
has been arrested on suspicion of being
Hightower’s murderer.

Tallahassee TaUahaa.ieean: It is a very
noticeable fact that the colored people of
this county are spending less of their earn
ings this season than ever before. A man
with a large family, who has heretofore
spent all he made ana a little more, came to
town last week, sold his cotton, paid up his
store account, and then had one of our mer
chants to count out for him, what was due
his landlord on rents. ('arefully placing the
rent money in his vest pockets ready to hand
to his landlord on returning home, ho re
quested the merchant to count out the bal
ance for him. There was a few dollars over
$BOO when counted. He took the
$BOO across the street and de
posited it with 11. C. Lewis & Sons, hankers,
came back, thanked the merchant for his
kindness, purchased a few articles of winter
clothing for his family with his remaining
odd dollars, and still lmd a few left when he
started for home. Many of the colored
people of this county are doing the same
thing. A spirit of frugality and economy
heretofore almost unknown among them
seems of late to have come over them.
Many of them are now buying and paying
for the homes that they have rented for
years. Comparatively few are spending
money for anything except the necessiti.s
of life.
The case of the State of Florida vs. Cook
was called at Enterprise, the county sear, of
Volusia, Tuesday, and the entire day was
taken up in picking a jury. Judge Beggs,
the State's Attorney, represented the State,
and Mnj. St. Clair Abrams was counsel for
the defendant. Up to 2 o’clock on Wednes
day only two jurors had been impaneled,
and after the recess of the court for dinner,
the State’s Attorney filed an affidavit
by the widow of tloyt, the murdered
man, that one of the jurors, named
Wryan, n>;d expressed an opinion to her
that Cook was crazy, whereupon Judge
Beggs made a motion to the court to have
him removed from the jury. Upon the ap
plication of Maj. Abrams the court was
cleared while the motion was being argued,
but ultimately Judge Broome denied the
motion. The whole of Wednesday was oc
cupied in getting a jury, and up to 1 o'clock
p. in., only six jurors had boon impaneled
after exhausting the regular venire
of eighteen and a special one of 100
names drawn from the box. The difficulty
apjx'ars to be that the main defense will lie
temporary insanity, produced by excessive
use of intoxicating liquors, rendering the
defendant (Cook) unable to distinguish right
from wrong at the time of the commission
of the deed. The defense rejects all who
would make no distinction as to the cause of
the insanity, if insanity is proven. The
court ordered another venire, returnable
Friday at 11 a. m., to which time it
adjourned.
A Detroit, Mich., special to the Jackson
ville Times- 1 nioii says: Senator Jones said
this evening that he would leave Detroit
within a year for his home in Florida, and
that he proposed entering the contest for
the United States Senatorship from that
State, and would be elected. In the mean
time, he said, that his sons and friends
might profitably employ their time
minding their own business. Tho ad
vice of friends to his son is so con
flicting that he doe* not know how to act,
and so has taken no steps to better his
father’s condition. This many-sided advice
comes by telegraph, mail and in person. The
sad and annoying vicissitudes that are mark
ing this particular era of Senator Jones’ life
are occasionally relieved by a flash of
humor. Yesterday he received u letter
which illustrates the close kinship of sympa
thy and the tender passion. It was written
by the main pillar of a woman’s home in
Illinois. She hud heard of Senator Jones.
The story of his troubles had wrung her
susceptible soul. His marked ability had long
been the objects of her admiration. Her heart
went out to him in the days of his affliction.
Then came tho evidence of the noble self
sacriilee, of which woman alone ii capable.
She did not suggest herself as an ever ready
comforter in the midst of the Senators
troubles, but she had u friend. This friend
was wealthy. Her abundance of this
world’s goods was amply sufficient to smooth
tho pathway of the dei>osed Senator during
the rest Of his ulloted time. She would lie
delighted should the Senator open a corres
pondence with her. There the modest sug
gestion ended. The Senator refuses to re
veal the name of his kind friend, but inti
mates jocularly, that he may visit Illinois
shortly.
