Crawford of Clarke county lias a letter that was writtea l.v James Mon roe to William 11. Crawford m 1814. It is written in a clear, plain band writing, and has faded but little under time’s tolling blow, though it is seventy-five years old. It pertains to the situation of war affairs in Great Britain at the time it was written. The school spirit at Sparta is rapidly materializing, The citizens have raised $1,500 in subscriptions and turned over to Sparta Male and Female Academy, to be used with other resources within the com mand of that school, to make a first-class free school. Prof. W. T. Dumas, of Monti cello, was elected principal. The incoming Columbus freight and ac commodation train came near being wrecked betweeu Americus and LaCrosse Friday. Among other freight there were several carloads of brick near the center of the train. The wood work under one of these boxes gave way, which allowed the box to drop down nearly to the track. Pieces of the car fell between the tracks, and it is a miracle that some of the other boxes were not thrown from the track by them. The new plant at the Lawrence mine is being erected at Dahlonega. The batteries for a ton-stamp mill and all its appur tenances are on the spot. Last week Henry Roberts and D. T. Koysjmade 15'J dwts. of gold in one week’s run on ore tuken from the Bass cut, near Dahlonega. This ore is heavily charged with sulphurets, and if that amount of free gold could be taken from the quantity of ore milled, there i9 no telling the result if the sulphurets were treated. The residents in the vicinity of the city dock at Brunswick have witnessed some very strange sights and heard unearthly noises there lately. One gentleman is re sponsible for the statement that the form of a woman clad iu white has been seen hover ing over the streets, and when approached would retreat and disappear among the lumber piles. Another lias heard gates slam, stones rattle ou housetops, and vari ous other noises that sounded queer. They attribute these sights to the ghost of a woman who’died tnere recently. The Farmer.-,’ Alliance is a strictly south ern itatitution. Its membership! extends only to Kansas and Missouri, iu the north west, and to Maryland in the east The organization was started in Texas, and the first alliance lodge was organized in October, 1880. Texas is the banner alliance state, and now has 4,000 sub-ailiance lodges, with a memberßtiip of 2.50,0- 0. Teuuessoo ranks next to Texas in the number of lodges and members, she having 3,000 lodges and 150,000 members. Georgia ranks third in number of sub-alliance lodges and mem bers. In this state there are about 3,100 lodges, with a total membership of 130,000. A desperate shooting affray occurred Fri day night near the city cemetery at Colum bus between two negroes, named Milas Smith and J. F. Robinson. The dispute arose about a white woman named Lizzie Regars. Smith had an old Grudge against Robinson, and he satisfied his revenge by shooting his rival through tho left jaw. The ball ranged behind the ear. Every means of extracting it was resorted to by "Dr. Jor dan, but without success. Robinson will die. His opponent has escaped, but acting Chief Pickett is on the trail of the mur derer. All the mill presidents of Columbus were in conclave Friday for the purpose of ar ranging prices on domestic goods on account ot the high price of cotton and tho low price for these goods. A proposition was before the meeting to raise domestic half a cent a yard. Though no binding agree ment was arrived at, it is understood that all present at the meeting favored the proportion, and that they will bind them selves to tiie rai-e at a further meeting to be held to-morrow. The mills are running at a positive loss at present, owing to the low prices prevailing in domestic goods. A romantic marriage resulted %>m the reuuion-of Phillips' legion, in Cobb county, <>n Aug. 21. Col. Vi. W. Rich of Gadsden, Ala., attended the reunion, and uttba grove be met Miss Jennie Loveless of Car.ers ville, who was on a visit to Dr. Greer’s family. CoL Kicn aud Miss Loveless had conducted a previous correspondence, hut when they attended the reunion, they had no idea they would leave Marietta as man and wife, but such wus the case. They talked the matter over, and Col. Rich pressed his suit earnestly, and finally got the lady’s consent. They repaired to I)r. Greer’s residence, the license was obtained. Dr. Headen was called in, and the happy couple were united in marriage, and took the af ’emoon train for Gadsden, Ala, The Athens llnnnfr reports a remark able damage suit which lias just been en tered. Editor Butts, of the Gainesville Bagla, was handed a poem by Col. BUI Findley, so the story runs, and the editor begged permission to print it. Permission was given and the poem was reproduced in the Boyle. The poem proved to be an acrostic that made an obscene declaration, and it is alleged that Col. Findley knew of its nature, but Editor Butts did not until after the paper was issued. Soon subscrib ers began sending in orders to ship their paper. a \Y'hen the editor learned the charac ter the poem lie was enraged, and has employed a lawyer to conduct a suit for heavy damages against Col. Findley. Tne publication of the poem created a sensation in Gainesville. Col. Northen was in Macon Saturday night ou his way to Atlanta to join the farmers ’western excursion. The 'lelejraph reporter called ou him aud asked him if ue had anything further to say touching his gubernatorial candidacy. He replied: “I am out of tho papers at present and do not care to say more than l have said. Mr. Livingston has failed so far to produce the letter he claims was written, wiiich, I take it, is tho best evidence that he has not got it I have invited its production and the invitation has not accopted.” “What do you thiuk, colonel, of Mr. Livingston’s talk about the support the alliance will give him?” “1 have nothing to say on that sub ject. I have no doubt Mr. Livingston has a great many friends all over the state.” Pleasant A. Stovall is spending a wonk in NVashingtou to confer with Toombs Dußoso and examine papers und other documents for tho proposed” Life of Geu. Toombs.” Among other things, ttaoro is an examina tion and collection of picture! of Gen. Toombs. Thorn are four of these possessing lifterest. The earliest, with which the pub lic are little acquainted, is a picture taken when tho original was only 1H years old. Ho was at tho University of Virginia, aud spent tho summer in travel. This was be fore the time of ilaguerreotyes and photo graphs, aud is one of those old-fashioned ivory-painted miniatures which the lovers of art rogmt so much as nearly banished by the sun pictures. Tins picture will bo en graved for the now book, Another of much interest was the picture painted in 1858 of Senator Tooml* in the prime of manhood by the groat artist Healy. It is the host of the pictures in an artistic point of view and will probably also adorn the book. It is not, however, regarded by frionds as so fine a picture a- that by Heaiy of Sal lie Toombs (afterward Mrs. Dudloy Dußoee) then in the prime of young beauty, a rosy brunette with splendid dark eyes. Unquestionably, that is ia the opinion of all friends, the best picture of Robert Toombs is that which was engraved and copies scattered over all the counties of his old congressional district. It is a very fine picture, which comes as near as possible doing justice to the striking appearance of the man in his prime. Still another picture, representing him ns he is best re membered by Atlanta people, is the photo graph by Motes, from which the picture was made for the Young Men’s library in Atlanta. This shows Gen. Toombs as an old man—not handsome, t*ut looking like au old lion. The new book will contain several p.ctures of its subject be sides other illustrations of hi* home, etc. The proposed “Life of Gen. Robert Toombs’’ lias caused a great many reminis cences to be talked by those who remember the ante-bellum political cam; aigns. Most interesting among these is the talk about the famous debate between Hill and Toombs in regard to the Kan as and Nebraska bill. Ibis took place in the grove at Haywood, the residence of the late Judge Garnett Andrews, iu W ilkes county, now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Meltft Andrews Green. It is one of the finest grovos of native oak which surrounds any residence in Middle Georgia, and a groat tree still standing a little to the west of the avenue marks the spot where tho stand for speakers was erected. There the memorable debate took plaoe. The subject was in the main the Kansas-Nebrnsku bill, the attitude of par ties to it, and its merits. Gen. Toombs led off in a speech of an hour and a half. He was followed by Mr. Hill, and thou Toombs replied. Toombs had never heard Mr. Hill until that day. A gentleman present, one of the most intelligent persons who remem bers the occasion, savs that before the de bate took place, Toombs asked his opinion of Mr. Hill’s caliber. The recollection has evoked a variety ot opinions as to who got the better in the discussion. A number of persons remember the advantage of Mr. Hill in the fact that being a younger man than Toombs or Stephens, lie had no record, and he had fortified himself with copies of, the speeches of Toombs and Stephens, which ha produced with telling effect. Mr. Samuel Barnett, who heard the speech, thinks that Sir. Hill did not meat any of his adversary’s points. A person present said that Gen. Toombs, while listening to Hill, would have made a magnificent model for a sculptor’s statue of scorn. But in Wilkesjuiany think Hill was the victor. FLORIDA. Tho Jacksonville Athletic Association was organized Friday night. The sugar caue crop throughout Washing ton county is looking very fine. The sweet potato crop is going to be very large in Washington couuty this season. A heavy crop of September aud October peaches bangs on many of the trees about Lake City. Corn will average about twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre in Washington county. This is without fertilizer. There have been issued by the authorities of Madison couuty from January IS7O to August 1889 1,934 marriage licenses. The tax books show that iu Madison couuty the name of Smith stands fourth on the record, viz: Williams, 79; Thomas, 44; Johnson, 39; Smith, 35. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Dickison of Lake county has undertaken a compilation of the unwritten history of the part the Florida soldiery enacted in the late war. Everyone butchering at Lake City is re quired to bring the ears and hide of the animal to the place where the meat is offered for sale under a penalty of aot less than $35. Mr. W. W. Lawson and a party of six others, all of Madison, last week made an exploration of San Pedro bay. They were out six days, during which time they killed 30 alligators, 84 rattlesnakes, 6 deer, and a bear or two. Angus Morrison of Island Grove, Alachua county, had a hearing before United States Commissioner Walter at Jacksonville Friday, charged with selling liquor without a license. The evidence was so worthless that he was promptly discharged. The home of of Mrs. Ilorton, five miles south of Perry, was burned last Sunday afternoon, and all the contents destroyed. Mrs. Horton and family were away from home at the tirno, and it is supposed that the fire was caused by an incendiary. Capt. J. P. McAdams of Madison had a five footed pup presented to him a few days ago. Its legs are of the usual shape and formation, save the right fore leg, upon which, about midway then appeared tha THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1889. fifth foot and wnich resembled a rabbit’s foot very much, it is said. The appointment of Maj. Humphries to be postmaster at Pensacola creates a vacancy in the office of United States com missioner at that place. Those who profess to be acquainted with tho situation think Judge M. P. de Kiobo will be appointed to the office. The following citizens' ticket is in the field at St. Augustine: For mayor, R. NV. Sturdevant; marshal and collector, L N. Smith; clerk and treasurer, George H. Parker: aldermen for two years, A. Cren shaw, J. 8. Borland, James Scott; alderman fCr one year, NV. E. Robbins. It is claimed that the membership of the Farmers’ Alliance in Florida is 20,000, and that their annual expenditure for supplies is in the aggregate not less than *10,000,000. Their agent, Oswald NVilson, is said to be now engaged in perfecting arrangements for the purchasing of their supplies to the best advantage. Jerry Doyle of St. Augustine is a very disappointed man. After four hours of hard work he uncovered the top of what he thought was the upper part of the chest that held his treasure. The stone proved to lie a largo one and after Jerry had laid the whole of its surface bare he was rather sur prised to find that it was only a large tomb stone with no gold coin beneath it. Jim Scott, manager of tho Chippewa orange groves, east of Orange City, will shm next month several hundred boxes of lemons from those groves. Last year he shipped about 200 boxes which netted over *2 per box. Tho Chippewa groves, con sist of sixty acres, and are the property of NV isconsin capitalists. The Primitive Baptist church at Bine Spring was destroyed by an incendiary fire last spring, aud that members ofjthe church in that neighborhood have been without a place of worship since. Recently, however, they began to rebuild and have completed within the last week a much larger and handsomer building than the old one. It is a framed structure. Lawrence Roche, a Portuguese laborer, had one of his feet so terribly crushed by a car wboel on the railroad wharf at Pensa cola Thursday that amputation was neces sitated. The limb was severed near the ankle. A curious fact in connection with the injury is that scarcely a fracture re sulted, although the foot was literally torn to pieces, the flesh having been torn from all parts of the member. The people of Madison will be called upon on Sept. 16 to express themselves by ballot upon the question of the sale of liquor in the county. Two years ago a sim ilar election was held and two precincts iu the county only, viz. v Madison aud Cherry Lake, voted dry. Whisky has been sold since then in Ellnvlille and Norton’s ICreek by licensed dealers, and “blind tigers” have been in operation in Madison. Some of the prominent citizens of Orlando are busy working up an excursion from all points in the state to that city in the near future. About *SOO has been subscribed for the purpose and about as much more is wanted. This money is to be expended to ward advertising and getting some public amusements for the three days the excur sionists will spend in the city. Cheap rates will be arranged over the railroads of the state. Surveys have been made between the terminus of the Orlando aud NV inter Park railroad, at Osceola aud Lake Jessup, for the purpose of obtaining an estimate of the cost of a railroad between the two above named points. The estimated oost of such a road, laid with light rails, would be be tween *33,000 and *35,000. Provided Or lando will raise *lo,oooof this amount, there are parties along the line who stund ready to furnish the balance. Harry Cotter (colored) met with his death at Tampa Friday. The contents of both barrels of a shotgun loaded with bird shot entered his neck, making a ghastly wound. The shooting occurred in a boarding house kept by a woman named Nancy Johnson. It is not positively known whether ho was killed accidentally or not, but the coroner’s jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death at tho bands of Nancy Johnson, with malice aforethought. The supposed murderer is In jail awaiting preliminary examination. St. Augustine News: An old Irishman named Jerry Doyle, who lives iu North City, declares that he has got gold buriod in his yard. His story is as follows: Eight years ago while digging a well in his gar den he struck, at a depth of four feet, a hard substance, and cleaning away the earth a flat smooth surface like glass pre sented itself io his gaze. No idea of hidden gold was then talked about, and as water •was what he wanted he moved a few yards to one side ami dug his well. To-day he started in to dig out this chest, and at noon he had succeeded in laying bare the top just as it was eight years ago. He hopes before supper time to have succeeded in getting the find. Young Morris Gugenheim, a brother of I. Gugenheim, will leave Peusacola shortly for Crefeld, Germany, whore he will enter a weaving school to learn the art of silk manufacture. At Crefeld he has a brother, Fritz Gugenheim, who is now engaged in the business of manufacturing silk, and whose intention it is to start such au indus try in Brazil in a year or two. The Brazil ian government grants the liberal subsidy of ii,ooo marks per annum, aud oxeumti n from taxation to such enterprises; and, with tho silk-worm thriving in that country, aud a home market for all production, the Gu genheims have a bright future ahead of them, it being Mr. Fritz’ intention to take Morris witti him to the land of Dona Pedro. At Jacksonville Friday Mollie Davis, a vile black creature living in Hansontown, decided to correct her little boy, only 7 years old, for some fancied misdemeanor, and proceeded to do so in the most heath enish fashion. She stripped the poor little child naked, aud tied him up by the heels until his head just touched the floor. Hhe then muffled his mouth with a liandker chief, and, taking a stick, beat him until the blood flowed from a dozen places, and his childish body was a mass of cuts and bruises. She would have killed him but f>r some of the neighbors, who called in Officer William Macomber, and he arrested the ferocious animal and took her to polioe headquarters, where she was locked up. St. Augustine News: Alderman Alex. Iwauowski carries around in his pocket a gold medal about the size of a dollar, with a clasp lor a ribbon to go through attaohed to the top. On one side of the medal Is an engraving of two fleets of war shins, and around it the words, “Almighty God has blessed His Majesty’s Arms, Victory of the Nile, Aug. 1,1798.” On the other side is a figure standing on a rock overlooking the sea. holding an olive branch in one nand, while the other rests on the edge of a shield, on which is an engraving of Lord Nelson, surrounded with the words, “Europe’s Hope aud Britain’s Glory,” whilo around the whole are the words, “Rear Admiral, Lord of the Niies.” On the rim the follow ing words are engraved: “From Alexander Davison, of St. Janies Square, tribute of regard.” J. A. Davison of Anastasia has written home about it, as he thinks he can throw a little light on the subject. Mr. Iwauowski has refused S3O for it, as chem ists say the gold in it alone is worth $33. SOUTH CAROLINA. Graham is to have a canning factory and a bank. Dr. W. R Jones of Greenville died o day or two ago. The Sea Island Chemical Works, near Port Royal, are making large additions to meet the demands of the trade. The Camperdown Cotton Mill Company, at Greenville, is putting in two new water wheels, which they propose to use instead or steam to run the factory when it is con venient. One of the rules of the penitentiary, established by Gov. Orr under the act of the legislature of 1867, makes it obligatory upon the guards to fire at convic-s attempt ing to escape. The excursion to Petersburg, Va., from Chester, of the Sixth regiment,did not come off. The committee in charge did not sell enough tickets by the specified time to justify them in chartering the train. Gov. Richardson has appointed the fol lowing delega es to the American forestry congress, which will meet in Philadelphia Octol>er 16: CoL A. F. Bader, Columbia: Dr. F.

Robert Turner, miller at Cain's mill, in Sumter county, caught a i alligator two weeks ago that measured C feet 3 inches in length. This ’gator was caught on a hook baited with moccasin. Mr. Turner said that he had tried other things, but fimis that moccasin is the best bait for alligators. A dav or two ago Josiah Hiott, a son of Josiah H. Hiott, a prominent merchant and farmer living at Centerville, while assisting in hauling an engine for a new mill he was about erecting, was fatally injurod. The windlass po.e of the timber cart, which was being used to convey the boiler, slipped from where it was insecurely attached, flew over and struck him in the back, between the shoulders, breaking a shoulder blade aud several ribs. He died in ah hour. At Orangeburg, a day or two ago, a little child of John A. inabinot while trying to climb the shelves of a closet in his homo slipped and fell, striking his head against the floor. The unfortunate little fell >w was unconscious for several hours, and at first the physicians feared concussion of tho brain. He has, however, regainod con sciousness. and it is hoped that nothing serious will result from his accident. Lawyer Ernest Gary of Edgefield, repre senting certain taxpayers of So aw town ship, through which the Carolina, Cuinl nor land Gap and Chicago road passes, recently obtained a temporary order of injunction restraining the county auditor from assess ing the tax to pay the interest on bonds issued by the townships to aid in the con struction of the road. This will provoke an interesting and important law suit. The wife of NV. H. Dorsett, an engineer on the Columbia and Gree ville railroad, has just fallen heir to *250,000. His wife, a Miss Pope before marriage, is a daughter of the late Supt. Pope of the Vaucluse cot ton factory, aud is a niece of L. A. Pope, who, as the owner of extensive silk manu facturing business at Paterson, N. J.. amassed a large fortune. By the death of tiiis uncle Mrs. Dorsett falls heir to one fourth of his fortune, estimated at over *1.000,000, as she is one of the four heirs among whom the estate of the deceased is to be divided. John T. Robinson of Rowesville acci dentally shot himself in the left arm while out hunting, and died Wednesday night from the effects of the wound. Mr. Robin son was hunting squirrels in company with I)rs. M. G. Halley and Theodore Jeffords, and had left his gun leaning against a tree while he attempted to knock a squirrel nest out of an adjoining tree. NVhen he went to regain his gun and was about to lift it up it fired, a brush having caught the trigger, and the whole load took effect in his left arm. The shock and pain were so severe as to cause unconsciousness up to the time of death. Tke Darlington News recently published a formal notice from several citizens of Columbia that they would apply to the legislature at its next session for a charter to build a railroad from the North Carolina line through Chesterfield or Marlboro county nnd on to Sumter. The explanation is that the Congaree Construction Company of Columbia, which is now building the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, has information that if it can obtain the charter desired it can secure the contract for building the line. There Is said to be money behind the project, and not belong ing to the Eutawville nor tha South Bo’und people either. The construction company proposes to branch out and take all the construction work it can attend to. W. D. Childs, of the company, thinks that next winter that organization, working with northern moneyed men, will be able to build a palace hotel in Columbia for the accommodation oNwinter sojourners in the south. The late Capt. P. H. Reillev of Greenville was noted for his daring deeds iu war times. At Petersburg, while fully twenty yards ahead of the picket line, he ran into a negro command and fell shot,through tho leg. Re turning he found his company a mere frag ment. Once on a burial detail just before Appomatox a yankee officer led him aside, and, after showing him the uselessness of farther resistnnce by Gen. Lee, offered him a situation and support if he would not re turn to our lines. The boy’s eyes flashed as be said, “If you mean au insult, step off five paces. I’ll fight you to the deatn.” The officer apologized and the burying went on. After the war ho was irreconcilable, once taking down a federal flag at night, and throwing it over a fence. Several times he collided with federal patrols on the streets. A burly soldier jeered him, when he coolly asked an other federal to lend him a gun, and chal lenged the big fellow to go to the woods. The fed backed out amid the jeers of his friends. Seeing a federal guard arrest Capt. Moseley for knocking two patrols down, Reilley tore away bareheaded, and at tempted Moseley’s release. The squad of sixteen federal* met him with “charge bayonets.” He dashed one gun aside and en tered the square by his friend. “Ha,” he said, “I’veseen you run a hundred times; you can’t scare me." The federal officer re leased him, but read bun a lecture on his rashness. A short time after a federal patrol rudely stopped another ex-confeder ate. Reilley ran to his rescue, and a fight ensued. He had only a revolver aud fought iu the ruins of the old court house. He fell with four bullet wounds, and his clothing cut in two other places. Reilley. then moved, a wasted wreck from wounds, to Greenville, where he has remained ever since. CUTICURA REM HIDES. Not a Pimple on Him Now Bad With Eczema. Hair all gone. Scalp covered with eruptions. Thought his hair would never grow. Cured by Cuticura Remedies. Hair splendid and not a pimple on him. I cannot say enough in praise of the Cuticura Remkiiies. 3ly boy, when one year of age, was so bait with eczema that he lost all of his hair. His scalp was covered with eruptions, which t lie doctors said was seal i head, and that his liair would never grow again.
