Tvo Young Men Pitted Against Each Other— A Stormy Election-The Per gdy of One Gives to the Other the Rewards of His Labor—A True Story Told by an Old Georgian. Middle Georgia, Feb. 7,—A long time apo each little district in a neighborhood bad its bailiff. He was the corrector of all bus. the highest official of the section. Tbe ignorant ran from him when he made bis appearance. They regarded him as (cine terrible man who had the power to chop off their heads, or subject them to the Biost exquisite tortures. His office was an elective one, but it often did not require more than a handful of votes to put hiui in. When he was installed he did os he pleased. When the ordinary officially announced the result of the vote and declared who was fairiv elected the officer chucked his com mission in his pocket and galloped home Ue proudest man iu the world, his own master. If he grew tired of his office before his term expired he consulted a majority of the voters and turned the office over to eorno one of his friends. It was ••nothing agin’ ” him, as his friends would say and if he ever after eard ran for office be was not charged with selling out. It was a sort of go-as-you-please way of doing, and it was satisfactory. Every body liked it and they put up with it. An election of the kind iu which “Jimmie Johnson,” as hia friends called him, was the principal, is fresh in the minds of the older citizens, and will live as'history in the mimls of the young. Jim Johnson! Everybody knew Jim. A great big, brawny fellow, with a fat, red face, lighted by snapping, gray eyes, and improved by a brown, bristling mustache. With arms as big as another man’s thigh, and a physique to shame the most superb athlete. That’s Jim Johnson all over! He’d fight at the drop of a hat, and sometimes he’d fight for less. Many was the insolent youngster he tamed and subjected to "de cent manhood.” as he expressed it. Jim couldn’t have told the many fights he had had on other people’s account. He’d tap a fellow as quick for imposing upon others as for insulting himself. And he just wouldn’t see a child wnipped. A GOOD FELLOW WAS JIM JOHNSON. A genial, good-natured fellow, it ever there was one. He’d fight you one minute and befriend you the next. He'd lick the lights out of a fellow, and turn ar eund and give him money to get home on. That’s Jim, up and down. Jim was the ideal boy of this neighborhood, and tbe old people stood off and admired the lad ns he grew to manhood. It is said that long before he was grown bis neighbors elected him bailiff, and he held fast to tbe place. Year after year he was re-elected and made the best officer the people ever had.they used to say. Somehow, though, when Jim attained his majority he lost his hold on the people. They didn’t seem to like him so well. Why, Ido not know, unless Jim had been a pet too long. Maybe he was spoiled. Grown folks, line children, can be petted too much. They get too saucy. There’s no doing anything with them. They become unruly and either the pet has to be regarded as master or else be has to be kept in his place. Maybe this was Jim’s fix. Perhaps his old friends, whom he counted by the score, thought to teach him a lesson. But hereby hangs the tale. I’ll tell it. It seemed to the voters that ever since they could remember Jim had held the posi tion of bailin', and, whether he did bettor than any other man or not, they wanted a change. Jim had held the place because his friends would not allow him to be defeated. He was a well-to-do farmer, and had as much as he could look after about home, but he had fallen into the unlucky habit of “office hollers,” and he could not be con tent without an offlco. In the same neigh borhood lived a young man with a yawning ambition and his share of haughtiness. He was not grown, although everybody looked upon him as Jim Johnson’s peer and rival. Everybody doted upon him, except Jim, and everybody but Jim thought him Johnson’s equal. His name was Rube Randolph. Well, in the midst of this uncertain, un satisfactory situation there approached an election. Jim paid no m ore attention to it than be had to former elections until one day somebody told him that Rube was against him. “I believed Jim laughed at first,” said an old man who was Jim’s friend. “To think of that fellow Rube Randolph’s audacity was amusing,” he said. JIM SURPRISED. Jim went along, giving it as little thought as be could, until the day before election. He began then to circulate among his friends, and, to his surprise, he found nearly everybody pledged to support Rube. Jan’s big heart rose and fell—fired and burned. Then it sank within him. He was stunned, dazod, outgeneraled completely. It was an afternoon when the neighbors had gathered about to discuss the coming elec tion. Jim couldn’t stand the setback, and he jumped on his horse and galloped home. He run a furro wor two in the garden, he turned the cows out of the pasture, he drove the pigs out of the ycrd and led the mules to water. He fumbled at a thousand aud one things to distract his mind .out, in spite of him, he thought of the way he was treated. He could not help from think ing about it. He was too spirited not to think of it. To tamely submit to defeat without stretching out his hand to prevent it was not Jim Johnson’s way. Not Jim at all. Nobody expected him to. They all thought he would come against Rube like a battering ram, and 60 he did. He let affairs around the house go their own way tuat afternoon, and he saddled a horse and llew through the district. Every time he thought of the “combine” against him, as expressed it, he spurred ahead faster. IV ell, he got over the district and the election came. “A stormy time it was,” said the old man—Jim’s friend. “Rube made the onslought, which Jim sustained admirably at first." Toward the close of tbe day, however, bo said, Jim began to weaken, and he looked like a whipped cmid. He hung around the polls without any apparent business there, until some ,y whispered to him: “Jim, you are beaten, for God’s sake go home.” miv 8 !? 1 !? 16 ?’ downcast, sidetracked, over matohed the great brawny fellow hung his , ®“'‘ a &d walked out through the crowd toward his house.

You hear it, boys?* said Jim’a opponent. “If the ordinary don't say to night that Pm lawfully elected, the offioe is Jim’s.” Everybody heard it and everybody was satisfied. All dogs have thsir day, and Rube Ran dolph was having bis then. He turned and walked back to the polls,proudly casting bis eye over the crowd which was supporting him. He glanced at the tally fheet, and smiled wisely upon the crowd. There was a laugh and a shout, and the boys fiuug up their hais and cape and hollered, " ’Rah for Rube Randolph.” It was a gay crowd; a spirited lot of youngsters who can oover a man in defeat with the same enthusiasm that they sum mon to give another man victory. Nobody saw Jim Johnson any more dur ing the afternoon. THE POLLS CLOSED. It was getting dark when the rusty old deputy cried out huskily: “O, yai! Oyai! tne polls is now ’bout ter close,” and a few moments later, "O, yai! O, yai! the polls is now closed.” The clerks ran over the tally shee.’s hurriedly and the count was made. Rube Randolph was 25 votes ahead, but the official result was not announced. Every body was breathlessly awaiting the ordi i ary to call out the vote and proclaim Rube’s election, when there was a commo tion in the rear of the room. An old man elbowed his way to the ordinary, and as that official was in the act of rising to announce the vote the old man bent over him, and, whispering in his ear, slipped a paper in his hand. Judge Riley looked up into tbe old man’s face, and smiled, but did not read the result of the vote. The crowd .eager to hear the official announcement, became impa tient, Rube's friends were anxious for the ordinary to declare him legally elected bailiff of the district. A few minutes passed and the ordinary seemed to be en gaged at something else.” “Why don’t you ’clare ’im beat?” shouted a gruff voice in the crowd. “Sing it out, sing it out, jedge. Yer raout’s well ter. We all knows he’s beat,” screeched another. A little pause. “I demand to know,” rose up another from out of the crowd. It was Rube him self. The ordinary recognized him, and rising asked: “Are you sure that everybody has voted?” “Of course, of course,” shouted a hundred people. “Has Rube Randolph voted yet?” “I have,” replied he emphatically. “The election is then contested, and the result cannot be announced inside of thirty davs,” replied the ordinary, and sat down. The next day Rube left the settlement to escape punishment for Illegal voting, and Jim Johnson got the office. Z. D. R. THE CHINHSS NEW YEAR. How it Is Celebrated by the Savannah Colony.of Celestials. Yesterday was the Chinese Now year’s Day. This is thel7th year of the reign of the Emperor Kuang Hsu, and somewhere be tween 3,000 and 4,000 years since some near relative of Noah founded the Celestial em pire. In China it is a great day, celebrated with feasting, general merry-making, the burring of an immense quantity ot fire works, the cessation of labor of all kinds for weeks and a grand opium smoke all around. In this country the almond-eyed subjects of the brother of the moon content themselves with much less demonstration, for the very sufficient reason that one of them gave a Morning News reporter yesterday, “workee allee time,” Nevertheless, they put in several days of celebration after their atvle, in which they do a3 little work as possible, dress in their best clothes, live high, ac cording to their standard, burn joss sticks and smoke opium. A Morning News reporter knocked at the door of Sing Wan’s laundry on South Broad street yesterday afternoon, and was admitted by Wong Jen, an intelligent Chinaman, who says he has been in Savannah eight years, and oan talk English very plainly and read it as well. Wong Jen was eating watermelon seed. Whether this is a Now Year’s luxury or an every-day economy Wong Jon didn’t say. A heavy-featured celestial, evidently anew importation, was studying an English aud Chinese primer, which examination showed to have been issued by some missionary society. Wong Jen said it was the Chinese New Year, when he was asked the question, and referred to a Chinese calendar which hung on the wall, aud from which he obtained the information that it was the seventeenth year of the reign of the Emperor Kuang Hsu. The calendar was evedently the Christian calendar printed in Chinese being, divided into twelve months. Wong Jen added that the Chinese would feast and take things easy this week, not doing any more work than is necessary to keep up with their business. When asked if they would do much opium smoking, he said: “O, yes, sinokee.” “Will you burn any firecrackers?” “Don’t ’low it,” he replied, referring to the city authorities. "Burn firecrackers Sau Francisco,” he said. In China, Wong Jen explained, they burn big fireworks. “Not little things,” ho said, “llkee have here. Burn big pile, so high," holding his hands above bis head. “All go way, noth ing left.” New Year’s week was the Chinaman’s Christmas. The joss-sticks will be burning all this week. PHILLIPS OCT OF JAIL. Mr. Dowling Withdraws His Prosecu tion of the Charge Against Him. J. Leon Phillips was released from con finement last night by Mr. John E. Dowling, who had him arrested on a charge of larceny after trust. Phillips’ sister died yesterday and her body will be carried to Taylor, Ga., to-day for interment. Mr. Dowling saw Phillips’ older brother and partner yesterday and told him that in consideration of the circumstances sur rounding the case, and the recent afflictions of himself and brother, the senior brother having just buried his wife, he would stop the prosecu tion indefinitely of the younger Phillips and would endeavor to secure his discharge from imprisonment, if the solicitor general would give his consent, on condition that Phillips would leave Savannah and never return. It was reported from the barracks last night that Phillips had been released. A HAT MAN’S QUEER BTORY. Knocked Down, Robbed and Taken In a Freight Oar to Texas. From the New York Tribune. Danbury, Conn., Feb. 3.— Daniel J.

It was his custom to go to New York city every other Saturday, collect the money due him from jobbers in the city, and return to Danbury to pay off his employes in the afternoon. He left his home at No. 71 Franklin street early in the morning of Dec. 8. and took an express train for New York. He was to go to see one of his customers, L. Cowan, of No. 127 Greene street, where S3OO wa* due him for a shipment of bats the day before, and be intended to catch ths 2 o’clock train back to Hawleyvillo, That was the last teen of him in Danbury, and nothing was heard from him until tbe following Wednesday, when it was learned that a strange woman had asked tbe New THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9.1891.

Brew’s friends then caused a vigorous search to be instituted, and all the batting districts in the country were thoroughly searched. Brew was a strong temperance advocate and was never known to touch liquor or tobacco, aud after a month passed bis relatives, believing that he had met with foul plsy, settled up bis business and paid bis indebtedness. To-day a letter was recsived from Brew dated at a smafl town in tbe southwest, where he was at work in a coal yard. He tells a startling story of abduction and robbery in New York, and of the privation which followed. When he reached New York on Dec. 6, he went directly to Greene street, whore he received a check for $250. He hurried to the People’s Bank, in Canal street, whore it was cashed. Then he started uptown. He remembers placing the money in his pocket and leav ing the bank. How far be was from Canal street he dooe not know, when there was a rush and blow upon the head, and all became a blank. How long he remained unconscious he does not know, but he Was awakened by a fall from what appeared to him to be a tremendous higat. The higbt proved to be a box of merchandise in a freight car. Ho was dressed in old water soaked clothes, and his own good garments, his money, watch and jewelry were gone. He tried to attract the attention of the trainmen again and again. He was faint from hunger and thirst, finally became too week to ory out. Then he became unconscious again, and when he came to his senses he was in a house in Houston, Tex., where the people said hs bad been in a car ten days without food or water. The people there thought him a tramp, aud as soon as he regained his strength they sent him away. He earned a few dimes shoveling coal, until one day he was shot by a negro, who took him for a tramp. Since then he has bean trying to make his way north. HB MUSI' LIVE TO WIN' A War Trophy Left by Andrew Jack son . From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal. One morning recently I beard a war story told in the United States court room that is far more interesting than many that have been widely published. It had its beginning with the war of 1812, and its end has not yet been reached. The story is that of a oontest between I, brave South Carolinians for a mag nificent war trophy, and it is a notable case of the survival of the fittest. Bub to the story. THE NARRATOR INTRODUCED. It was a short while before the hour for opening court. Hon. N. J. Hammond and Oourt Marshal J. J. Martin were discussing the grip or something of that sort. Have you ever seen Mr. Martin? If yon have, you will understand what is meant when I say that he “looks tha soldier” all over. His hair is gray, ’tis true, and his face a little wrinkled, but he has that up right carriage and graceful bearing of the old soldier. * THE STORY BEGINS. Leaving the water cooler, where he had been to wash down a dose of medicine with a glass of water, he said: “I have a reason—and I think a very good one—for being so careful about my health.” “What’s that?’’ asked CoL Hammond. “Pin trying to outlive about twenty other men,” was the reply, “and the prize is a magnificent silver cud— an old war trophy. jaojcson’s cup. “Just after the war of 1812,” he contin ued, “the ladies of South Carolina pre sented Gen. Andrew Jackson with a must beautiful and very costly silver cup, indic ative of their appreciation of the brr.Tsry and gallantry displays 1 by him at the bat tle ot New Orleans. On tha death of Gen. Jaokson it was found stated In his will that the cup was to be given to tbe bravest sol dier from South Carolina in the next war which should occur. The cup was carefully put away in the state archives at Columbia, to await the outcome of the next war. THE MEXICAN WAR. “The next war ” Mr. Martin continued, “was the Mexican war. South Carolina sent out the Palmetto regiment,l,loo strong, of which I was c member." “Did you know Puckett ?” asked Chap lain Andrews, with much apparent in terest. “Yes; Puckett ” “Well, never mind Puckett,” inter rupted Col. Hammond, “let’s hear about tbe cup.” “Yes,” resumed Mr. Martin, “the Pal metto regiment went into the war, fought all through it, and at its close only 300 of the 1,100 who started were left. These marched back to South Carolina, and tbe i the question ss to who should have Jack son’s cup aro*e. The legislature appointed a commission to decide the matter. The commission made an attempt, but of course could reach no conclusion. Every member of the regiment had fought well. Not one had run or shown the slightest cowardice, and it was found impossible to award tho trophy to any one of the three hundred. HOW IT RESTS. “So the commission gave it up as a bad job. Thereupon the legislature considered tbe question, and finally decided that tbe cup snould go to the last survivor of the three hundred. Well, there are only about twenty of us left, aod it is my ambition to be tha last survivor of the regiment, so that I may be the proud inheritor of tho mag nificent property, and leave it as an iuher. itance to my posterity. That is my reason for taking such oare of my health. ” And all agreed that the reason was a good one. “Your poem is good, but Ido not like the re petition of ideas’’ “I am not aware, sir, that I have repeated myselfT" “No—but you have repeated Shakespeare and Thackeray aad several others all the way through. '—JCpoch. FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. A Fortune in the Bank of England—Au gusta People Heirs to It. From the Auoueta (Go.) Herald. Some weeks ago the Herald startled the people of Augusta with particulars of an immense fortune lying in the Bank of Eng land, some of the heirs to which reside iu this city. The amount of the fortune approximates f50,000,000. Mrs. O’Donohue, who resides on Greene street just below Cumming, is one of the heirs. The family of Joseph Moffatt, who for years lived in Augusta, but who are now residing iu New York, are also hejrs to this colossal fortune. / Mr. John Bell Keener, deputy clerk of the superior oourt, has just received a com munication from the authorities in London, in which they ask for full information about the two families mentioned. It is also stated; that an immense sum of money will be placed at their disposal just so soon as they establish the validity of their claim. The man who left all this wealth was im mensely rich oven in Ireland, and owned large woolen and flax interests there. When the gold rage broke out in Aus tralia twenty or twenty-five years ago he converted all his property intj cash and joined the emigrants. He was a shrewd business man, and, having ready money, doubled and trebled it with ease. He broke all communication with his family and friends in Ireland. aud it was not until years after that his relatives learned of Ills death and the almost limitless riches he had accumulated. Besides,the interest on’.the original amount has been piling up for twenty years. The amount will now approximate $50.- 000,000. Mr. Frank H. Miller is the attorney of the heirs, and he and Mr. Keener will imme diately acquaint themselves further with the facts. Local Record for the Morning News.
