CoL P. M. Slaughter, a well known en

The house of John F. Usry two miles
from Adams Station, on thf Southwestern
railroad, in Lee county, was destroyed by
fire Wednesday. It is not known how it
started. The smoke house was saved by
hard work. Mr. Usry had just sold the
place to two of his brothers, Barney aud
Will, and was about moving to Texas. The

probably all it was worth. Most of tho fur
niture was saved.
The farm yields have been unusually good
in Southwest Georgia this season. As many
as twenty-six bales of cotton to tho mule
have been made this year. In some of the
lower counties long staple cotton lias proved
a sucoess after several years experiment
■with it, and it is bringing wealth to the
small farmers who cultivate it. Long
staple cotton in Coffee and other counties
yields a bale per aero and brings in the
snug sum of SIOO per bale.
Alf Starr, a Henry county darkey, is a

SHns ago. He camo to Griffin Friday with
sevei-al dollars in his pocket, intent on
having a good time. He invested a portion

cold chanties of the world, fifteen miles
from home, and without a cent. He says
ho will take out a warrant for those who
robbed him.
Near Taylor, Crawford county, Saturday
Daniel Hulto, a tilanter, reached the age of
100 years. Mr. Hulto has been a resident
of that section a good number of years,
having been among tho earliest settlors of
the county. Ho wus a volunteer in the war
of 1812 and remembers incidents that oc
curred as far back as 1792. His age and
feeble health would not permit him to take
part in the struggle of 1861. Nevertheless
he cherished the cause arid advised his only
son to volunteer at the age of 17. Mr.
Hulto has been enjoying first-rate health for
several years until a few weeks buck. His
health is now fooble.
Americas Recorder: Mr. H. J. Morgan,
a Recorder subscriber in Drayton, Dooly
county, was in Americus Friday, and paid
our office a short visit. While talking, lie
pulled out a handful of fine ]>ecan nut.s and
laid them on the table. Upon inquiry, we
found be had a fine pecan tree on his place,
from which Uo had already sold over SSO
worth of nuts, and had raise 1 quite a crop of
cotton under the tree. He still lias nuts to sell,
and a number of small jiecan trees. In a
few years the pecan tree industry promises
to be quite large in So sb west Georgia, as
many farmers are putting out small trees,
for the demand for the nuts can never be
filled, and there is a big profit in thorn.
Washington Chronicle: We have in our
possession the books of A. P. Bignor show
lnß''’bat he made off one and a quarter acres
kn thirteen consecutive years. Mr. Bignon’s
garden was near Augusta, and tho results
therefrom are astonishing. They fairly take
away the breath of a cotton farmer. These
books are neatly and accurately kept (astlio
grand jury would say) and show all dis
ursements and receipts. If he sold a bunch
of rye he credited his farm with that much.
The record runs from 1850 to 1811. inclusive.
The first year he only made s'.> 50. Ohe
year as high as $3,877 45, but this was in
war time. The total receipts for thirteen
years was $36,915 63. With the exception
of 1863 the last years averaged I wit ter than
the first.
The Ordinary of Laurens county, on tho
petition of over 1,000 voters, has ordered an
election on Deo. 21 for the issuing of bonds
for the purpose of building a substantial
iron bridge across the Oconee river at Dub
lin. The opnds are to bo fifteen in number,
for SI,OOO each, with interest not to exceed
7 per cent., and the first bond is to mature
on Jan. 1, twenty years after date; and one
bond to mature on the first of every suc
ceeding year until all are paid. There will
have to be secured two-thirds as many votes
as were polltxl at the last election for mem
bers of the General Assembly, and as the
vote then was very heavy, representing the
total voting capacity of the county, strenu
ous efforts will bo necessary to secure the
requisite number.
1 .afayette Messenger: G. W. Ransom,
well known in our county, was brought in
from Chattanooga Tuesday by James Os
burn. He is charged with the rajM* (Oct. 26)
of Elvira Estep, an 8-year-old child living
near the T. G. McFarland Gap. The war
rant under which he was arrested was sworn
out by the girl’s mother, and issued by J. M.
McFarland, Notary Public. He was jailed
in Chattanooga and delivered up to James
Osburn, under a requisition from Gov.
Gordon, dated Nov. 18. After being brought
to Georgia the committing papers were
issued by Squire Greenwood. The trial is
set for Thursday, nt Dry Valley court
ground. The defendant pleads not guilty,
and we trust that he will be able to prove
his innocence of the charge.
Near Newnan Friday night an almost fatal
shooting scrape occurred at 11 o’clock be
tween B. Edmondson and Ad. Beavers. Both
are white and married men. Beavers shot
at Edmondson five times, three balls taking
effect, two in his left arm and the other in
his side a few inches below his heart. Ed
mondson is a blacksmith of Newnan and
Beavers a farmer living a few miles below
there. It seems that both were drinking
heavily, and while in this state went to the
house of a friend, who began drinking with
them, and while there the nieii became in
volved in a quarrel, whicn as above
and will probably end in the death oi Ed
mondson. They were on the best of terms
before going to the house. Bearers has left
for parts unknown, and up to date nothing
lias beejy heard from him.
C’oJliinbus Enquirer: Mrs. C. H. Dudley
wt in the city Thursday en route to the
.-Ledside of her husband, at Seale. Mr. Dud
ley fell from a house in Seale during the
fire Thursday morning, about I o’clock. At
the time Mrs. Dudley was at the home of
her sister, at Upotole, Ga., about 40 miles
from Seale. Mrs. Dudley informed a friend
that she was very restless Thurs
day night. She awoke some time between
12 and 1 o'clock, and iniagined she heard
excited men talking. Like a panorama the
hotel at Seale loomed up before her, and she
could see coatless forms hurrying to and
fro. Someone told her that they were
dancing, but she thought it was very strange
that they should be running about the hotel
without their coats and betray so much ex
citement over a dance. The scene came up
before her so vividly that sleep was ban
ished from her eyes for the night. She
thought that her husband was in danger
and siie far away and unable to help him.
Mrs. Dudley is a Christian lady, and at day
break she knelt at her bedside and prayed
that God might spare her husband and
allow her to see him again in life. While at
breakfast the telegram came bringing the
news of the accident and confirming her
fears.
Probably the largest damage suit ever
brought in Augusta was filed Saturday in
the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court.
The suit in question is brought by the Au
gusta and Chattanooga Railroad Company
against Messrs. W. B. Ijowo & Cos., con
tractors, and is for s.'{oo,ooo damages. The
biil alleges that the damage consists in this,
that they had $75,000 in conditional sub
scriptions in the upper counties on the line,
in which counties they were compelled to
have commenced work before any of that
amount could bo collected, and they claim
that W. B. Lowe & Cos. agreed to locate a
camp in each of the counties in order to
allow the road to collect the subscriptions.
This they failed to do, after the engineering
corps had gone over and staked off a lino at
a cost of $5,000. It then alleges that with
out notice the contractors removed the con
victs on Nov. 11, to suspend, having graded
only fifteen miles, when they agreed to
grade 275, and further claim that the con
victs were taken off to move to a more
profitable job. By reason of this suspen
sion the road claims to have been damaged
to the amount of $300,000. Messrs. W. B.
Lowe & Cos. deny it all, and claim that it is
only a bluff to force them into compromise,
and their (VV. B. L. & Co.’s) claim of $300,-
000 against the road is just and they expect
to get it.
A recent number of the New York
Tribune contains the following announce
ment, which will be of interest to Geor
gians: “Mr. M. P. Higgins, Superintendent
of tho Polytechnic Institute, of Worcester,
Mass., is going South on a year’s leave of
absence to establish a big machine shop
Slid foundry for the Georgia Technological
School at Atlanta.” At Atlanta Thursday
S. M. Inman, of tho Technological Commis
sion, was asked ooneeruing Mr. Higgins and
his prospective work here. In reply, Mr.
Inman said: “Weare glad that Mr. Higgins
is coming to Atlanta. He is the head and
fi-ont of mechanical instruction of the
United States. To him, more than to any
other man, is duo the wonderful success of
the Polytechnic Institute at Worcester,
Mass. Mr. Higgins had many applications
to go elsewhere, hut would only consent to
come to Atlanta. Under his organization
and method of instruction the commis
sioners of the School of Techtfology feel
that success is assured. The
commission is quietly and wisely
laying plans in other directions to
secure additional memliers of the faculty,
men of the highest reputation and fitness.
They feel more hopeful of thorough success
than ever before.” To the question as to
progress in the buildings, Mr. Inman re
plied: “One of the buildings will be ready
on Jan. 1, and is already beginning to stand
out In magnificent proportions in the
western portion of the city. The founda
tions for another large building have been
laid, and the superstructure will lx* ereotod
next spring. North avenue will be thor
oughly ojietied from Peachtree to Mnrietta
street, and we have assurances that a street
car line will be extended along the whole of
the street. The lot on which the school
buildings stand has been beautifully
graded, and it is woll adapted for the pur
poses intended. On the whole, the State is
to be complimented on tho progress being
made with the school. It is safe to say that
no enterprise undertaken in Atlanta will
accomplish more good or be of greater honor
to tho city.”

Last Friday, while loading the schooner
Lily White, at Punta Rassa, with cattle for
the Key West market, a man was badly in
jured by a bull. The cattle are eorraled in
a large pen which is connected by a shuteor
driveway to the vessel, and the cattlo are
run in in bunches of ten or more. It was
while assisting one of these “drives”
tiiat John Watkins, mate of the ves
sel, was charged on by a vifcious bull. The
men assisting saw his danger and
called to him, but he did not see or realize
Ins danger until the animal was within a
few feet of him. He reached uo and at
tempted to draw himself out of the corral,
by catching on the overhead fixtures, but
he was too late. The bull caught him and
threw him, and took another hold on him
while he had Watkins down. Dr. T. E.
Langford called to th ■ men to catch Wat
kins, but they were a little too late, and he
was again thrown. Then the hull settled
down and got another hold on him and as
Watkins was tossed up, the men grabbed
him and pulled him over the pen, dislocat
ing one of his shoulders. Watkins was
hooked across the at>domen, but fortunately
not deep enough to do serious injury. Dr.
Langford states that Watkins, though bad
ly hurt, is not dangerously so, and was sent
to Key West on the schooner. Dr. Harris,
of Key West, was at Punta Rassa, and at
tended to the man’s injuries.
