hundred, while others are more obstinate
and are holding out for 60 cents. At Albany
a day or two ago, a negro was lodged in
jail in default of a fine. A warehouseman
told the negro he would advance the fine
aud allow him to repay it by picking cotton
at 50 cents per hundred. The nogro promptly
and flatly refused to entertain lhe matter
asserting that "It’s wuff 60 cents a hundred
ter pick cotton, an’ I ain’t gwiuo ter do it
fer no less.’’
During last week J. M. Harris, a respect
able farmer of Brooks count y, and his wife
went on a visit to Mrs. Harris’ mother,
leaving their son and daughter, aged re
spectively 15 and 10 years. During their
absence George VV. West, a neighbor, called
at the house of Mr. Harris about 11 o’clock

room of tue little girl. She waked
when he put his hand ou her and called her
brother. This frightened West, and he
left. Mr. Harris swore out a warrant for
him Wednesday, charging him with tho of
fense of assault with intent to commit rape

Capt. Bush Lumsden of Macon was one
of the attendants at the meeting of the
State Agricultural Society in Cedartowu,
and got in soma good words for the estab
lishment of a state geological bureau
Among other things, he said: “The gen
tleman asks what good will a geological
survey of the state do to the farmers. The'
gentleman sfatesthat he is troni Southwest
Georgia, and I will say that while very few
minerals may be found in' his
section of the state, there are
underlying many of the counties in
Southwest Georgia immense beds of
marl, which, if properiv examined and
brought to light, would add greatly to the
Wealth of his section. I dislike to see an
act of selfishness. I cannot bear to see one
section of our glorious old stale antagonize
another section. Whatever benefit North
Georgia will assuredly benefits the whole
state, and what adds to the wealth of one
section will increase the wealth of all sec
tiyns, north, middle and southern."
A stranger giving the name of E. H.
Self has Bern at the Metropolitan hotel at
Atlanta for several days, and his conduct
is a trifle mysterious. He has kept to his
room, complaining of a pistol wound in
bis right leg. He claimed to he from
Owensboro, Kv., and is flush of money.
Chief Connolly paid the man a visit
Wednesday, aud interviewed him at some
length. Selfs answers were so conflicting
that the chief decided upon a more thor
ough investigation. He found
upon exam i ration that there was
no pistol wound in the leg, but that
the limb was badly bruised. Self had
about $750 in cash, aud claims to have
large credit with the banks. In a valise he
has a number of pamphlets entitled "A
Synopsis of the Soni-Angula System of
Penmanship” taught by ITof. E. H. Self,
the champion penman of the south. The
pampnleds were printed in Sandersville.
I he chief retired without taking any action
in the premises, and Prof. Self is still a
mystery.
Brunswick Advertiser: There is a certain
young grocery clerk iu Brunswick who has
bow no use for a lard barrel, especially
when it is half full of tbe animal fat. The
cause of his dislike is easily explained.
Yesterday a small boy entered the store
and aske 1 for a pound of lard. The clerk
smilingly met him, and taking the bucket
in hand proceeded t > the lard barrel, but
arriving there he found it aver half empty.
He endeavored to reach the lard, hut could
not without overbalancing himself. He
called the boy to hold him, and then made
a dive for the grease. The
boy forgot bis business, however,
let go his bold and head first went the clerk
into a perfect pond of melted lard. The
other clerks saw his awkward predicament
ami rushing to the rescue pulled him out.
When his head appeared above the barrel
top he was tho greasiest looking man ono
would like to see. and uua le to control
their risible*, the other clerks laughed long
and heartily. The clerk could not stand this
and rushed home. He has not been seen
since, but a note to his employers stated
that he was sick, and there is no reason to
doubt it.
At Griffin, Tuesday, Officer George D.
Johnson was assaulted in the discharge of
his duty by a negro w. unati and her son and
very roughly handled. Aon Maugham,
tho woman, and George Pollard, tho s >n,
were suspected of having stolen goods con
cealed in their and the officer, armed
with a search warrant, went up to investigate
the matter. While ho wus making the search
at her lied the woman seized a billet of wood
and struck him three heavy blows on the
skull, cutting a deep ga h with each blow.
Officer John-on turned upon his assailant and
was confronted by a pistol iu the hands of
the son, who said that he had been told by
a white man that “s >me one ought to shoot
his head off,” and that ho intended to do it.
Tho officer drew his pistol and forced the
negro to put his up, threatening to shoot
him if he didn’t. The blood began to flow
very freely, and in a short time his coat
was saturated, and the officer went up
town, where his wounds wore closed and
dressed, but they are still very painful, and
it will be some time before they heal.
Warrants were sworn out bofore Judge
Stillwell against the pair, and when the
trial comes off they will have a hard job to
keep out of jail until February court.
The tax returns for 1883 showed that
property had increased in value through
out Ge <rgia $18,900,0:10. Every year since
that time the returns have shown an in
oreaw, but never has tho amount for 1883
been equaled. This year, howevor, the
high water mark will bo passed aud anew
record established. Capt. Furlow of the
comptroller general’s office lias received up
to date tho tux digests of 132 counties,
and these show an increase of $13,000,000.
Five counties, including Fulton, remain to
be heard from, and they will bring the
record up $6,000,000 more. The tax receiver
of Fulton county predicts that liis
digest w ill show at least $6,000,000 improve
ments. And should the other four counties
have fallen off in valuo, the result will have
little effect on tho grand total. Tho increase
of 1883, which, for many years, was quoted
as something phenomenal, included tbe im
provements in railroad property, which was
a very largo factor. The $19,000,000 worth
of improvements this year come solely from
tho tax digests, leaving the railroads out.
Should they Vie included the statement
would prove that Georgia is $25,000,000
richer than she was last year.

“Citizen” writes to the Gainesville Adeo
cate as follows: “On Saturday last an En
glish gentleman of means ami character
arrived in Gainesville with the intention of
purchasing land and becoming a permanent
citizen. On Monday morning tbe colored
policeman hau led him a letter signed by
one W. Weller Eoley, and dated at Oliver
Eark. in which occurs the following extract:
‘Florida, notwithstanding what has been
written on the subject, is a most unhealthy
climate for about three montns in the ye.tr,
and you will be surprised, if you inquire, to
hear of the great amount of sickness there
is at present in Gainesville, and the num
ber of deaths tnere have been. In fact, a
great number of the well-to-do people resid
ing in town have left it for healtnier places. ’
As the gentleman to whom this letter was
j handed is an entire stranger to ti e one who
wrote it, the animus is plain; tne maiicous
lie was intended to injure Florida, and
Gainesville in particular.” To this the
mayor of Gainesville adds: “I, J. Brown,
mayor, have read the above extract from
what purports to be a letter written by W.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1889.
Weller Poley, and must say that all that
relates to Gainesville and Florida is untrue
aud false.”
The Tarpon Springs Truth on the subject
ot Gulf coast smuggling, says: “It is no
secret in this 1 cality th it a constant inter
course is kept up between tne Spanish
smacks that tisb just outs.de tbe Ikeys aud
the mainland. Ihe principle article of ex
change is “aguadiente” or Spanish rum.
The Key West sponge fleet, which lies just
oil the mouth of Auclote river, is in con
stant communication with the Spanish
smack men, and keep themselves supplied
with “aguadiente” from that aourc". The
Spaniards, in exchanging small quantities
do not take money in equivalent, but read
ily exchange their commodity for flour or
salt meat. This, however, is in the way of
incidental accommodation. Many of the
smacks make a business of landing rum
upon the Florida ejast. Tney take large
quantities consigned to parties in the Man
atee river or elsewhere. Tneir method of
effecting a landing is simple and
coinparitively sure. The rum in water
tight packages is put overboard at some
designated point, the exact location denoted
by a not too conspicuous buoy. Small boats
from shore visit these marine caches under
cover of night, and take away the delecta
ble fluid. The coast has been so thinly
populated that precautions were unneces
sary, and people who live immediately upon
the Gulf have never cherished any doubts
in regard to the mission of the little sail
boats that leave tho coast from above tne
mouth of the Auclote river and cruise out
toward tho Spanish smacks. Sometimes
the rum is buried upon the keys. Not long
ago a piouic party uneartbod two casks of
“aguadiento” upon Hog Island. The Span
iards keep an eye peeled for the revenue
cutter. The condition of affairs aboard
when the cutter heaves in sight is described
by those who have .seen it as amusing in the
extreme. A dackload of jugs dive precipi
tately into the blue depths of the Gulf, to
be fished up perhaps when the danger is
past.
Railroad Commisdonors E. J. Vann and
W. L. Himes were at Kissimmee Wednes
day. The meeting was called at 10 o’clock
at the Tropical hotel. Several merchants
were present. The South Florida railroad
officials were invited to attend, but they
failed to appear. J. M. Bryan, represent
ing the orange growers ami truck farmers,
stated that unless freight rates were
lowered, truck farming would have to be
abandoned, as 40 per cent, of the gross
receipts was paid on freight account.
The commissioners stated that tho South
Florida railroad was asking for increased
freight rates on orange* and vegetables. C.
A. Carson said that tho freight rate on
fiour from New York was 39 cents jwr hun
dred, while on vegetables to New York it
was 6.5 cents. W. B. Mackinson wanted to
know if there was no redress for the orange
growers and truck farmers for the loss of
goods by the cariessness or negloct of trans
portation companies. They refused to ae
eopt shipments unless the freight was
guaranteed, but refused to pay for dam
ages. Commissioner Himes said that was
entirely outside of their jurisdiction and a
matter for the courts. J. W. Watson said
he was charged 50 cents freight on a keg of
nails from Jacksonville, whereas the rate
was 38 cents. He had Written the commis
sioners, but had received no satis
faction from them. Mr. Himos
stated that each road was per
mitted to chargo 25 cents on a single pack
age. Mr. Watson said freight rates from
Sanford here, forty miles, were over half
as much as from New York to Sanford,
which wns not just. He had this morning
paid tho first-class freight rate on goods
that were rated as third class. The com
missioners instructed all who had griev
ances to make out their complaints in writ
ing, and said they would examine them
carefully. Messrs. Hughey, Miller, Maok
inson, Craig and Carson thougnt rates
should be reduced on outgoing and incom
ing freights.
MRS. HITCHCOCK’S DUPES.
Getting Money from Men Who Wanted
to Marry Her.
FVom the Xcw York Sun.
Delhi, N. Y., Aug. 20.—The arrest at
Meadvillo, Pa., of Seymour Hitchcock and
wife on the chargo of using tbe United
States mails for purposes of fraud, is a mat
ter of special interest iu this vicinity, where
tho offenders aro well known, and where
they began their career of swindling. Sey
mour Hitchcock is the sou of Matthew
Hitchcock, a well-to-do and highly respect
able fanner of tho town of Franklin, this
county. He grew up to be an idle but inof
fensive young mau, aud is now, it is be
lieved, the victim of an unscrupulous ad
venturess rather than of his own evil pro
pensities.
Several years ago young Hitchcock, while
still living with liis parents, saw an adver
tisement in a so-called matrimonial news
paper setting forth that a young woman
wanted a husband and invited correspond
ence. He wrote to the advertiser, who
proved to be Sarah Hugell, a young woman
with a curious history. She is the daugh
ter of respectable parents living near
Smethport, Pa. When 16 years old she
made a runaway match with a good looking
young fellow, who first ill-treated and then
deserted her. For a year or two following,
it is said, she led a gay life ou tho strength
of liberal drafts upon the bank account of
a wealthy oil operator. When this resource
failed she sought a husband through the
columns of the rnatrimouial newspapers.
She is not noticeably handsome, but sue is
bright and artful and of winning wavs.
She quiokly porceived that a marriage with
young Hitchcock would bring money and a
degree of respectability, and she spread a
net that landed him.
After a time old Mr. HitcLco .-k got tired
of maintaining an idle son and a gay and
extravagant daughter-in-law, and cut off
the supplies. The clever and unscrupulous
woman was equal to the emergency.
Doubtless the novel and ingenious scheme
sho put in practice was suggested by her
own successful experience in matrimonial
advertising. She took her husband to
Oueonta, and from that point sent advertise
ments to Chicago aud Saa Francisco papers
saying that a respectable young w il ■ ( i e l
sired to hear from a western gentleman of
means and good standing, with a vie w to ran t
rimony. She got letters by tbe score from
all parts of tho west, and sent back ardent
replies, inclosing the likeness of a beautiful
young woman. The deluded westerner who
took the bait was prevailed upon to send
c stly presents, or money to pay the fare
of his betrothed to the place where
they were to meet and marry. When
the swindlers had bled their dupe to the
utmost, they paralyzed him by mailing
a receipt signed "Sarah Hitchcock, perSey*
mour Hitchcock.”
The records of the Oneonta postoffice
show that during the two months they op
erated there Mrs. Hitchcock received over
S4OO in postoffice money orders and nine
teen registered letters containing remit
tances in cash of unknown amounts to
gether with packages of jewelry, etc. W hen
the buisness was at full tide they got warn
ing that an agent of the postoffice depart
ment was after them for their fraudulent
use of the mails, and they skipped out of
Oneonta, and repeated their operations at
Glean, Asitabula, Erie, and at Meadville
where they came to grief at last.
When arrester!, with characteristic cun
ning and audacity, Mrs. Hitchcock at
tempted to shift the entire load of guilt
upon hor husband. She induced him to
make a confession to the effect that he was
tho chief criminal and she an unwilling
accomplice. The chances are that the ad
venturess will go scot-free, while the weak
and infatuated husband will go to the peni
tentiary. ‘
