2 MARRIED BOTH OF THEM ■A GIRL’S WAY OF BEING TRUE TO THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW. Che Consented to a Clandestine Mar riage With Her Boy Lover and the Next Day Married Her New Lover, a Physician. Prom the .Wv York Sun. Columbia, 8. C., May s.—Some timeago there was a marriage in Black’s, S, C., be tween Dr. Atkinson, a prosjierous young (physician of Chester, and Miss Florence Little, a handsome and fascinating young lady of Black’s. The marriage had on one occasion been declared off, because on the wedding day Miss Little had absented her welf with Augustus Mintz, a youth of 20. Atkinson went to his home, but was in duced to return by the fascinating girl, and he married her. The day after the marriage Augustus Mintz published a statement that Mrs. Atkinson was his legal wife, and he produced the marriage certificate. Mrs. Atkinson denied this, but the doctor insti tuted an investigation, and in the mean time he ami his bride of three days occupied jseparate apartments. His investigation proved nothing, amMor three weeks he lived 3n happiness with his bride. At the end of this lime she confessed that she was not his wife, and that she had married Mintz, hut :Tuul never lived with him as man and wile. Dr. Atkinson sent her home. Young Mintz did not know of the mar riage of his wife until the morning after ward, and then he refused to make an at tempt to get her hack. Ho has just written •e statement, which shows ho married Miss Little on the evening she was to have mar ried Atkinson. He says: “From the many reports in circulation through the press as to my marriage to Miss Florence Little, I am prompted, in (justice to myself, to make a true statement of facts. 1 have always known her, from which my acquaintance ripened and ma tured into love that was no boyish whim. Miss Little is of a respectable family, a woman of beauty and many attractions. ,<3he was reared an orphan; that heightened and excited my sympathy, and, from our engagement one year ago, 3 felt there was a bright future for me, ,Which was inspiring and an incentive to ,everv act of my life. Alasl the heart I be lieved so truo and gentle proved false, as my story will relate. Not n word ever fell from her Ups, nor an act of hers led mo to Lelieve my love was not reciprocated, and 1 Always felt that I was in the enjoyment of that confidence, and that I possessed the jlove of one of which I was little worthy. Dr. Atkinson, in the meantime, paid fre quent visits to lus uncle, Allen B. Crosby of Black’s, where Miss Little spent part of her (time with her sister, Mrs. Jacob B. Boss. "When they became acquainted his attention to her seemed to be no more than politeness would require. “On Jan. 28 I received a note from Miss Little from Gaffney City saying she must (see me at once. I could not from her refuse tsuch a summons, and on the next day I met Lor at Mr. Bryan Bonner’s and went with lier to Mrs. Mary Look hart's, her sister, who lived a few miles in the country. She seemed sad all the while; but soon those "black eyes softened into liquid beauties, when she sobbed aloud and said: ‘The task is too great to tell you. lamto be married to another!’ Then her weening grew more bitter. She again spoke, saying: “ ‘Can I be the instrument of violating an obligation which has been held so sacred that I have felt our happiness and success in life depended upon it < Can 1 break the golden link? Dear (lus, forgive me, I only ain to blaine. i don’t know myself 1 My ■wrong 1 cannot account for. Forgiveness from you will make me again your happy Florence.’ “This was so astounding that it durn founded me. When I sufficiently recovered myself I asked who my rival was. She said: ‘Dr. Atkinson, of Chester. My ties to you are the oldest.’ She reiterated: ‘Forgive me. I liked all men that loved.’ I felt my self kneeling at the shrine to pay homage to the power of love. The link, suddenly broken, was suddenly welded in fervent love, I told her the only obstacle to our marriage before this was my youthfulness and want of completing iny t ducation. AVe then discussed the feasibility of a clandes tine marriage, until this could be accom plished, which was agreed upon, and I returned to Black’s with the full purpose of revealing my plans to my parents'. But the idea of consulting them on such a course, or even of marrying at all at my age and not at ail prepared for the arduous duties of life, to break such a subject upon the kind ears of my parents, weighed so heuvily that my heart failed within me. “On Jan. 30 1 received a note again to come to my broken hearted Florence; come and come at once. ‘Dr. Atkinson w ill lie here on the oveniug train.’ I, with my friend J. D. Goforth, in a vehicle with a splendid pair of horses, drove against time, reaching Gaffney City at 10 o’clock a. m. I addressed a note from John McKeon’s Hotel to Miss Little at the residence of Mis. Xumden, saying that I V’ouiil see her. When 1 met her in the parlor at Mrs. Lumden’s ■with a pair of horses at the gate, I asked ter to take a ride with me. Hho s iid: “‘Gtis, I have just been advised by a lady friend not to ride out with you, but 1 ■will go at ail hazards.’ “Seizing her hat wo were soon in tho ve hicle and fast left Gaffney City behind us. We drove around the classic hills of Lmie ■tobe Springs, tuis once beautiful summer resort, until it grow late, discussing tho situation, she all the while avowing her de votion to me, and that every throb of her boart gave me its genuineness and sincerity. Blie remarked, as we approached where tho |n ads separated, where the final conclusion was to be had and the llnal step taken: “ ‘This left hand leads to Gaffney City and the right to the Rov. Mr. Carter’s’. “I suggested that tho in ad to Gaffney City was the Atkinson road, and the road to the Rev. Mr. Carter’s was the Mintz road, and, placing the lines in her hands, 1 *uid: ‘Drive the road of your choice.’ Hlie gracefully reined the team into the Mintz Toad. After driving a short pace I seized the linos and drove rapidly to the Rev. Mr. Carter’s, where I revealed to the reverend gentleman the object of my unceremonious call. He consented, and’ on leaving the house be said to Mrs. Carter: ‘1 am going cut to kill snakes.’ The old lady, having her suspicions, followed close by atnl lay in ambush, and was a witness to all the pro tleedings. “While in tho buggy, just nt dark, the Rev. J. G. Carter performed tho marriage ceremony between myself and Miss Florence Little. At this moment nature very ap propriately drew its dark curtain around as the clandestine marriage was iierformed, and then the queenly orb arose in the eastern horizon and threw its silvory rays around our feet, and lit our dismal and rugged wuy back pi Mrs. Mary Lack Ini it's. 1 took this as a good oinen. After reaching Mrs. Loekliart’s 1 assisted the then Mrs. Florence Mintz to the house, and after bid ding her good night drove Lack Pi Gaffney City, believing tnat our sacred ties i.oul’d hold through life. Dr. Atkinson, who had come at th appoint and time, was still there, but left soon for his home. During this time the wires were Hashing with in quiries between Black’s anil Gaffney. ‘Where is Gus, Miss Little and Dr. Atkin son? Which one did she marry?’ No ex planation. All was mystery. “When I arrived at Illack’s I found all in wild excitement. Public opinion was com ing down on me at the rale ol 1,000 pounds Pi the square ineb. It was said I had only accomplished this much--jirevented a worthy Woman from marrylu a worthy man. Many repeated that a boyish love quick Pi kindle was quick to die out. 1 felt keenly the disapproval of a people who were ignorant of the fact*. I sought the. advice of Mr. Jost-ph Black, win* advised *l to pub Jely acknowledge the marriage. l***r*‘ "note from Miss Little, alias Mr*. Miutz, that she would bn at Bla g's on I **■'• * ro/* 1, . n t *.- t* ’( p Ik escorted her to the residence of A. B Crosby. On the way she remark'd: ‘No one has any idea of our marriage, and Dr. Atkinson will lie hero tn-niorrow, and what will you do if we marry V I replied that 1 could not entertain such a thought. “\\ r hen wo reached the Crosby residence I hid her good night. On the next day Dr. Atkinson was at his uncle’s (A. B. Crosby’s), where Miss Little, alias Mrs. Mintz, was paying a visit. I again sought the advice of Mr. Black, who gave the same advice. I felt my confidence in her was so great that I left for my home just a few hours before the mariage between Dr. At kinson and Miss Little, alias Mrs. Mintz, which occurred at 1 a. m. at the residence of Mr. Crosby, in time to take tho Air Line train via Charlotte lor Chester. The next day, at my country home, the news lvachod me of the marriage. I opened the secret to my father, who went with me to the Rev. Mr. Carter’s, whogave a certifi cate of mine and Miss Little’s marriage. In my dilemma, what was to he done? The Mrs. Mintz now appears in society as Mrs. Atkinson. Her mysterious course lam not able to expiaiu. Here reason fails and mystery w'rtips everything in darkness. It is an enigma given to the world with its explanation, but speculation at its host. “Augustus Mintz.” Miss Little, alias Mrs. Mintz, alias M ra. Atkinson, is at her home, and it is uncer tain whether she knows exactly how she stands—whether she is marriod, unmarried, or a widow. A BLACK DESPERADO SHOT. An Idea that He was King of Ogle thorpe Suddenly Dispelled. Athens, Da., May 7. —A serious diffi culty occurred Saturday evening on Col. Nathan Arnold's plantation, in Ogle thorpe county, which will result in the death of Monroe Pope, a colored desperado. James Shaw, a respectable white man, swapped mules with Pope a short time ago, and for some reason tho negro became dis satisfied and went to Mr. Shaw’s bouse for the purpose of raising a row. On entering the yard lie began talking loud about what he could do, and used very offensive lan guage. Mr. Shaw, hearing the noise, went to the door and told Pope that his wife was very sick, and that lie did not want her dis turbed. Anyhow he did not care to dis cuss the mule trade just now. but would make things right in a few days. FORCED TO SHOOT. These words did not pacify the negro in the least, but he continued cursing louder, and ilhsulted the gentleman in tho strongest language he could command. Mr. Shaw ordered tho scoundrel off his premises, but tho negro ref used to go, and at last, forced to resort to rash meant, Mr. Shaw stepped to his room, and, returning with a douhle barrel shotgun, fired a load of buckshot at the enraged black man. Pope fell to the ground with his head completely riddled. A physician arrived later, and found that both eyes hail been torn out. and that several shot had penetrated the brain. The negro was barely alive. Mr. Shaw did not try to Obcapo, but went quietly back in his house. NEGROES EXCITED. The news spread very rapidly, and in a few moments Mr. Shaw’s residence was surrounded by negroes, but when they un derstood the cause of the shooting all quietly went away, declaring that they would never defend such amin as Pupo. Before this is put in print Pope will he dead. He has a record in Oglethorpe County which would have justified the people in hanging him long ago. A few weeks, ago with pistof in hand, he appeared suddenly before a one-armed white man near C: awford. and abused him unmerci fully. Since then Pope has felt his impor tance. ilo has been condemned by every law aniiling colored citizen in the county. Mr. Shaw cas given himself up and will stand his trial. ATHENS’ MYTHICAL ATHEISTS. A Challenge From a Clergyman—The Sports of the Students. Athens, (la., May 7.—The reporters of the local papers have tried in vain to find the Atheists, who were reported as having a socioty here. Asa last resort a prominent clergyman of the city prints an artieio in the Jiiinner-Hatchman challenging the leader of the Atheist Society to come out and discuss the mattor publicly through the columns of that paper.

Atlanta, 6a., May 7.—State Agricul tural Commissioner Henderson in his May report says; “There is no increase in the acreage devoted to cotton. The conditions have been quite unfavorable for securing good stands, and only 50 per cent, of the acreage already planted is now up. Owing to the bad weather, planting is generally later than usual by several days, taking tho whole State through. Practically it may bo considered that but one-half the crop was planted up to Slay 1. The reported general condition (90), compared with an average condition, must ue considered as too high. On tne whole tho condition and prospects of tho cotton crop is unsatisfactory, if not decidedly discouraging. The Commissioner reports an increase of interest in grass culture, and has encouraging words for tho new Farmers’ Alliance. EGYPT’S COTTON CROP EXCELLENT. Alexandria.

Railroad Branches at Auction—Guard ing the Public Health. Jacksonville, Fla., May 7.—Joseph H. Durkee, as special master, sold, under de cree of the court, to-day, the line known as the Transit and Tropical road, except the extension, at SIS,(XX). The extension, con structed recently to Plant City, was then sold for $100,(XX), provided the court would approve tho sale of the property as lieing free of all encumbrances. The master stated that it was sold subject to such ap proval of the court, as he was not empow ered to sell only as subject to liens as stated in the advertisement. J. August Johnson, attorney for W.

Jesup, (*a., May 7. —At a mass meeting hero to-day the following delegates to the State convention were elected: Capt. C. C. Grace, J. T. Stone, Judge G. M. T. Ware, and J. S. Lee. Tbe delegates were instruct ed to vote for F. G. dußignon as a delegate to St. Louis from the State at largo, and Col. J. H. Estiil and John C.

Norwood is here shaking hands with his numerous friends, and ex pects to got the Congressional delegation from this county, no Congressional dele gates being elected to-day. Capt. Gordon for Congress. *From the Atlanta (Oa.) Constitution. The action of the Democracy of Chatham county in indorsing Cupt. W". W. Gordon for Congress from the First district gives that distinguished gentleman a decided ad vantage in the campaign for the nomina tion. Chatham county is tho home of Mr. Nor wood, the present Congressman from that district, and, since Capt. Gordon has cap tured it, it looks as if the prospects of the latter are bright for representing the dis trict in Congress during the next session. The contest in the other counties of the dis trict will no doubt, bo exciting and close, and Mr. Norwood will strive the harder to regain what he has lost at home. If elected, Capt. Gordon will make one of the most useful of the Georgia delega tion in Congress. As the chairman of the Finance Committee of tho House of Repre sentatives of tho last Legislature, Capt. Gordon’s record as a public servant was of such a character as to win for him tho ap proval of tho entire State. During his two terms in the State Legislature he formed many strong friendships throughout the State, and he ranks to-day as one of the most popular and prominent Georgians. His abilities as a legislator are of tbe highest order, and if elected to Congress the reputation which he will make will by no means be confined to his district or to the State. He is a man of admirable judg ment, particularly in financial matters, is an earnest talker, and iiis social and busi ness qualifications make him a natural leader among men. Weather Indications.
