WHITE CAPS IN GEORGIA.
A BOY AND HIS MOTHER WHIPPZD
IN GORDON COUNTY.
One of the Night Riders Recognized
as a Saloon Keeper of the Neighbor
hood—The Case Laid Before the Gov
ernor and Rewards Offered— Other
News from the State Capital.
Atlanta, Ga., June I.—The proclama
tions of the governor against the lawlessness
reported as existing in a number of coun
ties, and the rewards offered for the appre
hension of the guilty parties, have no., so
far, been effective, and perhaps stronger
measures will be need.d. More recent out
rages iu Gordon county were reported at
the executive department to-day by one of
the victiiis, Henry Burns, a lad of 18 years.
He is a farm hand, and lives in a small
house with his mother. Several weeks ago
masked men came to the house at night
*cd whipped the mother and son.
A SFCOND VISITATION.
Last Tuesday night they came again and
beat the boy with sticks and shot him
twice. Before leaving they warned both to
leave the county. One of the night riders
was recognized as Albert Quinn, who runs
a bar just outside the corpo; ate limits of
Calhoun, which is a dry town—which has
been the cause of great trouble in the
neighborhood. It was suspected that
Burns, who lives not far away,
knew too much about the
manner in which that business was con
ducted, which accounts for the assaults
made upon him. Burns reported these
facts to the governor to-day, nud ws< ac
companied by Capt. Joseph McConnel, a
responsible citizen of Go: don, on whose
place the boy work*, and corroborated his
story in every particular. The governor
has "issued a proclamation, offering a re
ward of $100" each for the apprehension of
the guilty parties, with proof to convict.
TOLLESON STILL IN JAIL.
Ex-Banker Tolleson was taken from jail
to-day and carried before Judge Marshall
Clark on a of habeas corpus. The
counsel for the creditors moved that the pe
tition be dismissed, as the ground-, alleged
were not sufficient to entitle it to a hearing.
Judge Clark sustained this motion ami dis
missed the petition without going into its
merits, remanding the prisoner to jail.
The Augusta and Savannah railroad has
made a return of its income to the romp
ti'Oiler general for taxation at $199,804 65.
THE CONFEDERATE HOME.

Romare to pay for t'e site selected SB,OOO.

sub-cribers, calling for the immediate pay
ment of all subscriptions so that work may
be begun on the home.

the Constitution, and the bright society

Amulet Andrews, will exchange the mar
riage vows. The ceremony will be con
summated at the home of Miss Andrews, in
Washington, Ga., and Joel Chandler Harris
will support the happy bridegrom as best
man.

Interesting Experiments Under the
Microscope.
Thomasville, Ga., June 1. —Prof. M. B.
Waite has been making some very interest
ing experiments with his powerful micro
scope as to the cause and action of the
blight in pears.
Among these are the following: Taking
a small section of a blighted twig he first,
steeped it thoroughly iu a little water, and
then placed one drop of the fluid under the
miscroscope. A glance at the same revealed
the presence of thousands of minute bac
teria which have the property of self-propa
gation with amazing rapidity. It is this
vegetable pest that absorbs the juice and
saps the vital energies of the pear trees.
Again, he exhibited several half rotten
young pears, which had been simply pricked
with the point of a pin previously dipped
into the above-named fluid. The specimens
were freshly plucked aud perfectly sound.
In a few hours symptoms of decay are
manifested and decomposition rapidly
ensues. Fruit from the same Dough
simultaneously stuck with clean pins
were not affected in the least.
This shows the inoculating power of the
virus of the blight. The disease is extend
ing to the quince and crab apple trees also,
but the professor thinks it has reached its
culmination and is beginning to decline.

Originality is the Child of Love.
From the London Telegraph.
An original method of wreaking venge
ance on at unfaithful lover has been
adopted by a deceived damsel. The man
was a tailor and the woman a cook, who,
when she heard that the gay deceiver had
given her up for a spruce dressmaker,
armed herself wi h a pair of big s issors
and a bottle of vitriol, and prooreded to the
lodging of the false-hearted swain. What
she would have done had she met the tailor
in the flesh can only be conjectured in a
vague aud speculative manner, but it hap
pened that he was out, so she set to work
on his Sunday clothes. These she pulled
out of the wardrobe wherein thoy lay,
strewed them on a table and cut them into
ribbons with her scissors. She next sprink
led vitriol over the lot and treated the
tailor’s socks, shirts and pocket handker
chiefs to vicious touches of the same cor
rosive substance. Then she wont away
satisfied, but was arrested this morning, ac
cording to a legal phrase rather appropri
ate to the circumstances, “at the suit” of
the tailor.
Tte Dangerous Cigrarette.

Last Saturday evening a young lady who

later felt an unusual warmth at her back.
Quickly lo' king over her shoulder she saw
smoke and flames floating upward. She
began to scream and ran across Cone street,
when George Adamson seized her and ex
tinguished the flames whicn were rising
from her bustle. She was taken into P lilip
Kingsley's office, where she recovered from
her fright. Her overskirt aid bustle were
consumed, aud the back of herdres-; waist
was scorched. Somebody threw a lighted

ICED TEA.
It Is now very generally admitted that the
PERFECT CLASS OF ICED TEA is not only a
highly pleasant, refreshing and agreeable drink,
but ta beneficial effects on the entire system
are most marked. Iced Tea has not only
received the highest indorsements of the medical
fraternity, but it has also been especially com
mended in the highest terms by army officers,
managers of Urge manufacturing establish
ments, civil engineers, etc. British army of
ficers, stationed in IndU, tell us: “That when,
in place of other beverages, cold tea was fre
quently served to the troops under their charge,
it was simply amazing to note the increased
efficiency and endurance of the men on long
and rapid marches during the heated term in
this very hot clime.
To secure the desired results in Iced Tea, the
proper variety of tea must be used, and it has
to be carefully prepared. Because a tea will
produce the ideal cup of tea it does not follow
that it will make a desirable ICED TEA. The
reason is obvious on a moment’s reflection.
Light-drawing, delicate teas are, as a rule, the
teas so highly prized (and justly so< for produ
cing the perfect cup of tea. Ice these same teas
through and you destroy the very character
istics that cause them to be so highly esteemed;
the exquisite fragrance and delicacy of flavor
are killed by the icing, and you have left, a
weak and insipid beverage. The tea required
for icing should be of full and decided flavor,
and pungent— in other words, a tea that will
STAND ICING.
I have given the selection and blending of
teas for icing very earnest attention, and I con
fidently direct notice of those who appreciate a
Perfect Glass of Iced Tea to my
MIXED TEAS, SELECTED ESPECIALLY FOR
THE PURPOSE.
I put up three mixtures for icing—
No. 1, at 75 cents per pound.
No, 2, at 60 cents per pound.

ELIGIBLE BAY STREET PROPERTY
FOR SALE.
Two elegant pieces of property located on the
best business blocks on
BAY STREET
Have been placed with me for sale. The owners
have no furtuer use for the property, and are
willing, rather than rent it, to give unusually
easy terms to reliable purchasers.
One of the pieces referred to is the Western
portion of the well-established house recently
occupied by Messrs. Guckenheimer & Son.
The other is equally well knows as for years
occupied by Beudheim Bros, as a wholesale
cigar and tobacco business.
It is seldom that such well located Bay street
property is offered, and as the terms can be
made specially attractive, the attention of
investors is particularly directed to this op
portunity.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
I notice in yesterday evening’s Times an
article, speaking of the cows which drink the
filthy waters of the Bilbo canal. I would like to
stat > for my benefit, and also the public, that I
have been keeping a pasture at the foot of
President street, bounded by the Bilbo canal,
for three years, and can safely say not one of
my cattle has ever drank the waters from the
canal, for they cannot get access to it. The
waters in my pasture are run by the river lock
and springs in the pasture. I merely state this
so the public may know that not all the cattle
pastured on the eastern side of town do drink
the Bilbo canal waters; but if some of the
roving cattle which are not put in any pasture
would be pounded there would be less cattle to
drink tho filthy waters and create sickness.
