GEORGIA.
I LaGrange is working lor a public school

The delegare- from South and Central
America to the international American
congress at Washington will probably visit
the cotton fields of Georgia.
At Columbus, Saturday, while Thomas
Webster, a negro employe at the Columbus
Iron Works, w as hoisting a big mould on a
crane his hand was caught and bis fingers
literally mashed into pulp. He was removed
to the office of Dr. 8. X. Jordan, where the
fingers were amputated.
The Hatcher Iron Wagon Factory Com -
pany have just commenced the building of
their new factory on the last commons at
C olumbus. All the buildings will be of
iron, and the main wall will be tiOO feet
long and 70 feet wide. The dry houses and
lumber sheds will be constructed on a very
extensive scale.
At Sparks. Friday nig t, someone at
tempted to poison ,T. A. Clarke and family,
by putting strychnine in a bucket of water
on the back porch. It happened that only
Jtfr. Clarke aud hi- wife drank of the water.
If the children had drank, it is more t han
probable that it would have resulted in their
death. Mr. Clarke and his wife were both
Very sick from t e effects of the draught.
John L Parker's wagon was in Thotnas
vilie Friday loaded with old jute Mr.
Parker is the most extensive fanner in
Thomas county. Thus it seems that the
farmers cannot stnnd together. Mr. Parker
was seen and asked why he did not stick to
his neighbors. He replied that he was un
willing to make good to his croppers any
Joss resulting from cotton bagging. Such
action as this is caiculrihal 1 1 sow the seeds
of dissension, and, it may be, is making the
old jute monopolizers laugh in their
eleeves.
At Griffin Saturday Albert Stephenson,
a young man about ’3O years old, attempted
cuicide in the 5-cent bar of Sparkman it
Tiro. The effort to take his life was made
with a pocketknife too dull to do much
damage, hence he only shows two or three
■ugly scratches across the jugular vein.
The young man had been in fine spirits,
playing a harp for some time, when, becom
ing tired, he laid the harp down, ami bid
good-by to his friend as if he intended
leaving the place. Instead, however, he
drew the knife and before interference
could be opposed, came near ending his
life. No cause is assigned for the act, ami
his family and friends are at a loss to ac
count for his rashness.
A colored excursion from Athens to Maeon
Saturday had a tragic ending in the proba
ble fatal wounding of Weldon Price of Farm
ington by Ham Harris of Watkiusville, who
bad taken passage on the excursion. The
men had tieeu at outs al I day, on account
of some trivial remarks made by one to the
other. Price secured a pistol by some
means from someone, and followed Harris
to the rear end of the last coach, when
Harris stopped aud refused to move
an inch further. After some quarrel
ing Price turned to leave, ami was
followed by Harris. When near the door
on hi* return Harris fired on him. Price
then faced Harris and was shot the second
time. Price tnen drew his revolver, and
several shots were exchanged. Price fell,
and Harris made for the platfornY and
jumped off the tram. The tram was
stopped after it had run aver a trestle, and
the wounds of Price w ere examined. He
was found to be shot about 1! inches under
the right nipple and once in the side, which
is very slight. Ho was able to walk a-sistod
by two friends. It is hoped that he may
recover.
The grave of Rio, Mr. Stephens’ favorite
dog, reminds one of the remark which he
made to his servants on his departure for
the governor’s mansion: "If a dog passes
here open the gate and give him a bone in
stead of throwing a rock at him.” The
many sheds around the premises recall his
remark that he would never own anything
that he couldn't cover. Under one of these
shells the close carriage in which ho made
his last campaign for congress still stands,
much the worse for wear. In this carriage
lie was driven by faithful Harry, and pulled
by the two noted ‘‘llea-bitten grays,”
and in it he received ovations in every
county in the Eighth district. His open
carriage is still in good repair in the owner
ship of Mrs. Sanford, ana will yet do valu
able service. An innocent old quarter
witted dnrky shows alike the liberality of
Liberty Hail of the past and the present.
He looks like Darwin’s ibissing link, and is
as useless as any creature that crawls. He
has been here fifty years. In answer to any
question he says; "My name is Mr. Col.
Lewis Hakins. I was called dat by old
niarster. Iso always boded at Liberty
Hall,” and that is the extent of liis informa
tion.
Augusta has the oldest mayor, in point
of service, in the United States. Hon. It.
H. May, or “Uncle Robin,” as he is best
knows•, has served as mayor of the Foun
tain City for fifteen years, and although
there is a very large element consisting of
many leading citizens who have worked
long and persistently to oust him, it seems
he is going to be Augusta's mayor for life.
“Uucie Robin” was born in 1822, in an old
house now standing near the Sibley factory.
His parents were poor, and, os he expresses
it, he never went to senool but two days in
his life, and one of those it rained and he
couldn’t go. When a mere youth he started
to work m a wagon repairing shop, and
worked tiis way up until he became the
proprietor of one of the largest carriage and
wagon concerns in the south. He
became very wealthy, and remained
so until his firm made au assignment a few
years ago. Since then he has had nothing
save his salary of (0,600. Mr. Mav made
his first race for mayor of Augusta in 1859,
when he was defeated by one vote, the
notorious Foster Blodgett having been the
successful candidate. He, however, was a
candidate again in 1861, when he was
elected and held his position until after the
close of the war, or until April, 1806. In
1879 he was again elected after a heated
race with Hon. Charles Estes, the man who,
when mayor, built the Augusta canaL He
was re-elected in 1882. when Dr. Thomas B.
Phinizy opposed him; again in 1885, and
again last year. His term expires iu
December, 1891, but from the present
outlopk it seems he will be re-elected.
There is an element iu Augusta, consisting
of many of the leading business men and
most prominent and wealthy people of the
city who are very bitterly opposed to
“Uncle Robin.” They have investigated
his administration repeatedly, hut have
never discovered any corruption. However,
they are always after him, but the old gen
tleman never grows angry. Iu fact ho can
sit in his office with a smile upon his face
and hear himself criticised and abused aud
then turn and make some pleasant remark
that will cause his a‘ user to be ashamed of
himself. Then,when an opportunity offers,
ho will do that same fellow some favor
that will put him under everlasting obliga
tions.

There was a jail delivery at Green Cove
Spring Saturday. When Deputy Sheriff
River* went to feed the prisoners one of
them threw n bucket of lime into tho
deputy’s face; then four of the five prisoners
ran for life. One remained in the jail.
Sheriff Peeler, with a posse, followed, and
caught three of the escaped men. He re
turned the nto their old quarters. A lire
occurred about the same time, which tended
to create still further excitement. One old
building, with the effects of two negroes,
was burned. The loss was light.
Saturday morning James Whittam, clerk
at the Ocean house, at New Smyrna, went
up to call the colored help, who sleep over
the laundry. He leaned against the railing
to the stairway, which gave wav and fell to
the ground, and Whittam fell with it,
striking upon his hack, breaking his back
bone and three ribs, l> std-*s sustaining
severe internal injuries. Ho was at once
taken to his room in tho hotel and every
thing possible was done for him, but he
lingered in great agony until Wednesday
afternoon, when death cut short his suffer
ings.
A. C. .White, superintendent of the
famous Ki: g grove near Wildwood, un
earthed mum rare treasures in the grove
last week. The most curious tiling found
was an ancfaht coln of the reign of Alex
ander the Great. The coin is silver, about
tho size of a fifty cent piece. On one side
is ttie embossed likeness of Alexander, on
the other three Greek mottoes and the nude
likeness of a Greek warrior armed with
sword, helmet and shield. Buried with this
coin was found a vessel of antique design—
perhaps a Greek wine jar—and a curious
knife and something like a common hoe—
perhaps a species of battle-ax.
In response to a letter from the collector
of customs at Tampa, transmitting a com
munication from the Plant Steamship Com
pany asking Pi be informed under what
regulations European baggage can be trans
ported through tho United Slates to Cuba
without examination, the treasury depart
ment states that while baggage destined for
either Canada or Mexico may be assimi
lated to merchandise in transit to those
countries under special laws relating
thereto, no authority is found for extend
ing the same privileges to baggage in transit
to other count ries. Consequently such bag
gage must ba duly entered and examined iu
the United States.
Sumter villa Times: On last Sunday
night two old citizens of this county met at
the house of a certain colored woman in
Sumterville, each determined to become the
p. ssessor of a forty-acre tract of land of
which she was the owner. The land was
not of much value, but for certain reasons
was wanted by both men, w ho proceeded to
bid against each other until an offer from
one of (250 was accepted. Hut it being
Sunday night no legal acknowledgment of
tho transfer could bo received. The pro
posed purchaser, therefore, continued to
hold the fort at the woman’s house until 1
o’clock a. in., when circuit clerk Hull was
sent for to place his official seal upon the
documents.
One of Starke’s colored farmers, who
possesses inure ingenuity than energy, was
tired of hauling homo fire wood, and put a
pair of vioioui ours iu his yard to compel
passers by to furnish that article. A paling
was knocked from the fence to allow the
dogs to run out on tho road and attack
pedestrians. The latter, for defense, would
never pass the place unless they were pro
vided with an armful of pine knots to
chunk the dogs with. A night the darky
gathered up tho dogs’ earnings for the day,
aud found fuel not only enough for the
hominy department, but "a surplus to lay up
for winter. But now his curs are both
poisoned, aud their owner sits on a stump
beneath a wide-spreading Jerusalem oak
bemoaning his loss.
Gainesville Aitrertiser: Miss Lula Bell,
the daughter of our townsman, Judge Bell,
while on her way north had a brief aud
sharp experience of a life on the wave. The
steamship ou which she was making the
passage was befogged off the Jersey coast
anil had to proceed with ihe utmost caution.
Suddenly while moving slowly with ring
ing bells and a etrofui watch ihcr ■ loomed
up right in the course of the ship a large
three-masted schooner. For a moment it
seemed impossible to avoid a c dlisiou, and
everything was instantly iu confusion. The
engines were reversed and commands were
rapidly given aud obeyed, and fir a brief
space the fate of the ship hung upon a
thread, but the big schooner forged a little
ailead and the steamship just passed her
and that was all. It was a narrow escape
from wreck aud disaster.

Orlando Record: A strange character in
tho shape of a negro crank could be seen on
the streets to-day. Hu is very bashful about
conversing with people, and will walk off
when spoken to without returning an an
swer. He has a large white canvas bag
banging at his side, with several compart
ments and a tin cup attached to
| it. He bears a certificate which
state* that he is able to tell what can be
found SOU yards beneath the surface of the
earth, and also hub yards out to sea; that
he is possessed of Wonderful powes of speed
and endurance, having left Tallahassee on
foot at the same time the fast mail started,
and reached Jacksonville before its arrival.
He carries a long cane which he swings fu
riously about and gazes blankly into the
azure space of heaven as he wanders about
the streets. Many negroes are afraid to
speak to him, as they think they will be
hoodooed. He calls himself the “lightning
express.”
Washington (D. C.) Tost: Newton B.
Hcudder, the assistant librarian of the na
tional museum, knows something about real
estate. “I wouldn’t take a lot or a farm if
it were given me,” he said yesterday. You
look surprised, but I mean what 1 hare
said. A short time ago 1 received by mail
a deed to a lot in a town in Florida, from a
railroad company there, with a letter tell
ing me that, if I could do so, I might have
the lot by recording the deed. For that
purpose I sent (1 35 to the recorder with
the deed. Aud now I own the lot. It
looked like a ‘snu:',’ but I found out that
the company hired a clerk to record the
deeds, and they themselves received tho
fee. There fire about ten lots of the size of
the one they gave me to an acre, so they re
ceived (12 50 per acre for the ground from
the fees, and you could buy all the land
about that place you want for (1 35 an
acre from the government. lam not look
ing for ‘snaps’ now; I want to pay hard
cash aud full price for whatever I get.”
Elmer Townsend of Hlue Springs arrived
at Ocala Thursday, wont around to the
different social clubs mid druggists, bought
samples of liquor and then went before
County Solicitor Badger and lodged infor
mation* When this fact became known it
produced quite a commotion, and one of
the proprietors of a social club, it is said,
hunted up the inau Townsend aud used
threatening language to him. Whereupon
the former thought it prudent to call on
the may- r and ask permission to carry a
Pistol, which the mayor said ho could do. if
carried openly. Mr. Townsend got a pistol,
put it in the outer breast pocket of his coat
aud went about his business. Whereupon
the club men had him arrested for carrying
concealed weapons, and ho was brought
before judge Codero, when Editor Hood
anil Isaac Stevens furnished bail. Mr.
Townsend’s hearing took place Saturday.
When arraigned the court house corridor
was crowded, mostly by those who evi
dently think “social clubs” a desirable insti
tution.
A convention of tho Farmers’ Alliance
will be held iu Jacksonville begiuing Sept.
25 and continuing three days. Tho call
says; “Each county and subordinate alli
ance will lie entitled to one delegate, and
each is respectfully requested to send
jts most intelligent business man.
The programme of the convention
will be as follows: 1. On the
first day to organize anil discuss questions
pertaining to the g jod of the order. 3. On
tho second day to hold a session with open
doors and invite the railroad officials, the
bankers and the buiness men of Jackson
ville or any section of the state to meet
with us, aud discuss rates of transportation
on our produce; rates of interest on loans
of money for cotton collaterals, and tho ex
pediency of building cotton factories, cotton
seed oil mills and canning establishments to
letter enable us to control the price of the
products of our farms, and to beget a feel
ing of kindness and mutual c >operation
between capital aud labor. 3. On the third
day the work of the convention will be con
fined strictly to alliance business.”
Ocalo Banner: M. Serge Malvvan, the
talented aud indefatigable manager of the
Florida Produce Manufacturing Company
at Leesburg, without being cognizant of
the interest which the subject inspires, has
solved the problem, and forever set at rest
any doubt upon the question of a profitable
disposition of the surplus tomato crop. For
some time past he has been conducting a
series of experiments with the tomato, ami
has at length succeeded in perfecting a gen
erous aud delicious wine which is equal to
the best sherry, and some connoisseurs
pronounce it supperior even to bis famous
orauge wine, aud predict that in tho near
future the tomato will be a formidable
rival to grape, especially as the new law
allows such products to be manufacture)!
without ttie piynient of a license tax. M.
Maly van’s pr< h-hss for tho manufacture of to
mato wine is different from auy process ever
used in tho state before. If he attains the
same proficiency in the manufacture of
tomato wine ho has attained in the manu
facture of oraue wine, both the consumer
and the trucker may well rise up and ‘‘call
him blessed.” We understand that tomato
wine can be produced ami retailed at less
than 75 cents per gallon. If such should be
the case, aud the quality of the wine be as
high as some enthusiastic Leesburgers pro
nounce it, M. Maly van will have added an
other industry to Florida Marion county
is a large trucking county, and it stands her
in hand to seize the new industry as soon as
it becomes public property, or sooner, if she
can capture M. Malyvan.
