Ex-Mayor Felix Corput of Maoon has been elected president of the alliance ware house at Rome. Everything goes to indicate a handsome Increase in Sumter’s tax returns over wnat they were last year. The Atlanta Journal says that all the dogs killed at the pound m that city are sold to a soap factory. Hartwell will vote on July 20 on the question of issuing $2,000 worth of bonds to run ten years and bear 8 per cent interest. X negro, while plowing in the Held on Mr. W. L. McElmurray's farm, about six miles from W ayuesboro, turned up an old Indian tomahawk. At a meeting of the director* of the Globe Construction Company of Tallapoosa, held Tuesday evening, a 7 per cent, semi-annual dividend was declared. The Richmond County Kelt Line railway has decided to adopt the electric system for the purposed road to Murray hill instead of the dummy line that lias been contem plated. The contract for the building of the Dew Young Men's Christian Association ball, corner Green and Campbell streets, at Augusta, has been awarded to Charles B. Allen. The building is to be completed by Oct. L Hon. W. M. Hawkes has bean appointed master of chancery of the B^uth* estern circuit by Judge Fort. Mr. Hawkes suc ceeds the late Col. N. A.

Anderson, of the Hurricane district, in Coweta county, disappeared the other day and could not be found anywhere. The eighth day after its disappearance Capt. Anderson chanced to peer into an old well on the premises, and was both surprised and delighted to find leisurely lolling at the bottom his missing pig. There was no wa ter in the well, aDd the pig was no: only un injured by the fall, but,’ considering its lengthy fast, was in pretty fair condition. In 1888 John W. Kelly became involved In a personal altercation with the agent of the Atlanta and West Point road at Pal metto, and was somewhat worsted in the scrimmage. He appears to have suffered more iu his feelings than from bodily harm, but considered himself sufficiently injured to bring suit against the road. He esti mated his damages at $5,000 and brought an action through his attorneys for this amount, The trial oame off in Atlanta a day or two ago and resulted in a verdict for the railroad company. Barnesville Gazette: During the lain a few days since a tree was blowu down in the yard at the home of Mrs. C. E. Lambkin. In the place where the tree was broken off In the fall was found a petrified bird. It was found by Mr. Hodges and was taken from the tree aDd shown to many of our people, all of whom looked upon it with much curiosity. The head of the bird was r'fect, every outline being very plain. It certainly a curiosity. How the bird got Into the tree is a question. There was no hol low in the tree, and it has caused considera ble speculation. The suit of tho Druid Park Land Com pany vs. the Augusta and Summerville railroad, for $25,000 damages, has been withdrawn from the superior oourt. This step was taken by Judge Roney, who with drew the case from the jury, as there were too many complicated Issues involved in the case for a jury to settle. There at least fifteen different parties who are plaintiffs in the case. To bring about a settlement Judge Roney withdrew the case from the superior court, to be referred to an auditor for arbitration or settlement. The auditor is yet to be agreed upon. Thursday afternoon a deed of assignment was made Dy A. M. Westberryof Quitman to W. W. tV alker, and put on record in the clerk's office. The deed sets forth that there are about $1,500 worth of dry goods, SSOO worth of groceries and S3OO of fixtures and odds and ends. These constitute the assets. The liabilities are something less than the above amounts. The court records show a first mortgage in favor of the Bank of Quit man for SBIO and another in favor of Wil kinson & Cos. for $1,610 85, divided up into several notes, the first of which, for some thing over S3OO, was due May 1. A curious oase was up in polioe court at Columbus, Saturday. A negro named Amos Jackson, well known in police clroles, was up on the charge of drunkenness. The facts were that Amos, as was his custom, when not a prisoner himself, crowded on to the spectator' beach In the court room. He was driuking heavily, and when the orowd gathered about him and he began to feel the heat he became dead drunk. Court ad journed, the great throng went away, but Amos remained in his stupor, with his head upon the rail. Cnief Beard soon discovered bis condition and carried him to a cell to await trial. He was sent to the chain-gang for ten days. The address of Col J. H. Beals before the alumnee of the Wesieyan college at Macon did not meet with favor from the college folk. The trustees criticised it- vigorously and expressed the dosiro that the public at large should net believe the Ideas therein expressed mot their approval, particularly those in favor of women entering the pulpit. In order to put their disapproval into tan gible form they passed unanimously the fol lowing resolution: “Whereas, in view of the commendatory notices of the address contained in several of the daily papers; resolved, that neither the address of Col. John H. Beals, delivered June 16, uor many of its sentimonts, received the approval of this board, and so far as we are advised and believe, of any of the clergy or alutm.ae present.” J. Wesley Baker, a well-to-do and pros perous young farmer, living three or four miles no'rth of Stone Mountain, committed suicide Friday by blowing the top of his head oil with a double-barreled Baker was a nephew of R. L. Mosely, who for a number of years was in the wholesale greoery business' in Atlanta. He leaves a wile and two small children. It is said that for several months be had been paying too much attention to a neighbor’s daughter, and reoently hi* wife aud some of his neighbors reprimanded him for it. Early after dinner Friday he sent his wife and children to his mother’s to spend the after noon, and when they returned late in the evening they found the husband and father lying upon the floor of the home with the top of bis head blown off and beside him an empty double-barreled shotgun. Tate has been enjoying a big sentation. notbi.ig less than a whipping by eight other women of a woman whose character, nr lack of it —is unquestioned. Borne days ago there came to the neighborhood from Chioego a woman Darned Minerva Clark. She was br ughtby soiae of the stonecutters working for the marble company, and her actions w. re such as to demonstrate beyond question that her character was far from the best. Seme of the actions of this woman so disgusted the womeu living around Tats that they decided they bad stood it long oiiougb, and Friday night determined to teach her a lescoD. They got two young men to take the woman away from the stonecutters, which they did sfter being compelled to draw their pistols, and threaten the stone-cutters it they inter fered. Then the men walked with the women down the track until they got near the marble works of George B. Sichels & i Cos. They were walking along the track when suddenly eight women jumped from their hiding place and grabbed the women. The young men ran off as per agre-ment. Tha women then took the Clark woman, tied her to a tree and with heavy switches and slicks beat her unmercifully for about half an hour, after which they let her go. When released she ran down the track and was soon lost from view. The whipping bad the desired effect, for nothing has bean seen of the woman since. Public sentiment strongly indorses the action of the women who did the whipping. FLORIDA. There is a good deal of talk among the citizens of incorporating Leroy early next fall. The Marion Phosphate Company |bave started a mine on their property between the Early Bird mines and Leroy. Tho “Dixie'' base ball club of Lake City played the local nine at White Springs Monday and brought home the game to a score of 10 to 7. Sheriff Potsdamer of Live Oak presented the detachment of Suwannee Guards with a box of fine cigars when they started for Pensacola last Tuesday. Mr. Millard Boyett of the Grover neigh borhood iu Suwannee county has the brag little girl in the state. She is 4 years old and weighs sixty-eight pounds. Fishing in the lakes near Gainesville never was better than it is at this time. Trout weighing from five to fifteen pounds are caught in large quantities daily. Waldo will be represented at the Orlando convention, and almost unanimously favors any plan to have the state represented at Chicago, and its many advantages made known. The Lake City water works take 100,000 gallons out of Lake Isabella daily, which has been lower this season than ever before known, and it will hardly ever regain its old level with the present drain upon it, although in consequence of the recent rains it is rising now. There are several instanoes of remarkable longevity in the Waldo neighborhood which evince the wonderful healthfulness of that section of the state; first on the list is J. W. Newberry. 84: Fair Neal, 80; Absa lom Jolly, 75; Wade Sparkman, 75; Isaac Johns, 00; and “Old Scip,” a colored man that kicks the beam at 110. There are scores more who range up in the seventies. Gainesville Sun: Maggie Scarborough and Clara Hunter, two colored girls, aged about J 8 years respectively, got into a dif ficulty on Thursday morning over the pos session of a ring and handkerchief. The tr able was ended by Maggie Scarborough slabbing Clara Hunter m the left breast with a pocket-knife. The wound pene trated near the heart, resulting in death in about fifteen hours after the wound had been inflictsd. A coroner's jury investi gated the case and brought in a verdict to tho effect that the deceased came to her death, or was murdered, by a knife in the hands of Maagio Scarborough. Maggie was arrested and lodged in jail to await trial for murder at the next term of the circuit oourt. The killing occurred at Calvin Muldrow’s place, four miles southwest of Gainesville. SOUTH CAROLINA. Jim Fountain, a oolored boy, was drowned in tbe Congaree river at Columbia Wednes day. The supreme oourt hss adjourned until Nov. 23, unless sooner oonvened by order of tbe senior associate Justice preaid ing. Tbe steam tug E. L. Cain. Capt. J. W. Wines, from Charleston, S. C., to New York, sprang a leak after leaving Charles ton and sank near Murrell’s inlet, on the Horry coast, Wednesday morning. The orew of seven men, with their personal effects, were saved. The tug is a total loes. At Columbia about 4 o’clock Saturday morning a transfer engine, with car at tached, passed over the body of Jane Mer rlt, (white) mangling her head beyond recognition. The jury of inquest came to the conclusion that she was placed on the track and was thus killed, or had been pre viously killed and was so placed to shift the responsibility. The officers of the train were examined. Twe of tbe ciroumstances pointing to foul play are that the body was oold when examined immediately after the passing of the train, and the blood was clotted. At Darlington Friday William A. Carra way, a young white man about 35 years old, made an attempt to commit suicide, which iu all probability will result fatally. He had been drinking hard and went into a small restaurant on Pearl street and or dered a breakfast. While this was being prepared be ooolly stated bis intentions and, druwing a No. 82 revolver, deliberately shot himself in the head. The ball entered just above the right ear, going through the tem poral bone, piercing the posterior lobe of tbe right brain and ranging backward. Bad whisky and jealousy are the cause of the deplorable act. J. B. Jordan, o white man who lives in Mount Crogban township, abont nine miles from Chestorfiald Court House, was killed Wednesday by another white man named Miles. Home time ago Jordan bought an ox from Miles, he paying part cash. Wednesday Miles called to get tbe remain der of the money due on the ox. Jordan told Miles be oould not pay the money then, whereupon Miles said he must have either the ox or the money. Jordan objected to this, but Miles went into the field where the ox was plowing and while there Jordan struck him with a stlok. Miles in return stabbed Jordan with his knife in the face and heart, which resulted in Jordan’s im mediate death. Miles at once fled, and has not yet been captured.

In 1868 I was attacked with bilious muscular rheumatism, and have been a martvr to it ever since. I tried all medicines I ever heard of, and all the dootors in reach, bat found only tempor ary relief; the pains were so bad at times that 1 did not care whether I lived or died. My diges tion became so impaired that everything I ate disagreed with me. My wife also suffered so intensely with dyspepsia that hrr life was a bur den to her; she would be confined toiler bed for wejks at tbe time; she also suffered greatly from giddiness and loss of sleep Some time in March 1 was advised to take P.

Alice Wellington Rollins Gives ths Reason as Related to Her by a Bee. From St. Nicholas for June. It is really a lovely garden. Never were there whiter lilies, nor bluer violets, nor more interesting pansies. But it needs something. I think It is bees. For bees are so picturesque! And then the hives! The hives are as pioturesque as the bees themselves. Apple trees without beehives under them are as forlorn as lilies without bees over them. So we bought some beautiful hives, and placed them in the orchard, just on the edge of the garden. Boon they began to be Ailed with delicious hooey in dear little white cells; but the bees were nowhere to be seen. Every morning they disappeared. Hying far out of sight, and the lilliee and roses were as forlorn os ever. We had the credit of having bees, for every one could see the hives and taste the honey; but we did not have the bees. So one morning I went out and talked to them about it. “Dear Bees,” I said, "what is it that yon miss iu the garden 1 Every morning you fly away; but whore can you find whiter lilies, or bluer violets, or more interesting pansies!” “We are not looking for whiteness, or blueness, or intersstinguess,” the beej ex plained. "We are looking for honey; and the honey is better in the olover-fleld that is only a mile away.” “Oh! if that is all,” I exclaimed gladly, 1 ‘Pray don’t have the honey on your mind —” “Wo don't,” they said. “We carry it in little bags.” “I mean, don’t mind about the honey—” “Certainly not; how could we, when we haven’t any minds!” "But please don't feel obliged to hunt for h uey. I don’t care at all for honey: that is,” I added hastily, as a slight buzzing made me fear that perhaps I had hurt their feelings, “I like you, you know, for your selves alone, not for what you can give me. The honey is delicious, but we can buy it very nice at the grocer’s. If you like honey for yourselves, I will buy some, and fill the hives for you, so that you need’t work at all, if you will only stay in the garden, and hover over the lilies, and—and—be pictur esque.” 'They promised to try. And they did try. Whenever 1 looked from my library win dows, 1 could see them practicing their hov ering, and they really hovered extremely well. Satisfied that my garden was at last complete, I gave up watching it, and de voted myself to literary work. Every morn lDg I seated myself at the desk and wrote rapidly till noon. But one day I was inter rupted by a bee. He had flown in at the window. Perch ing himself on the lid of the inkstand he waited awhile; then at last asked quietly: “Why are you notout of doors this beau tiful morning! The garden is loveljr; I cannot see—” and he glanced at the vases— “l oannotsee that these lilies here are any whiter, or the violets any bluer, or tho pausies any more interesting than those out there. And we miss you. A garden really ought to have people walking about in it. That is what gardens are for. I don’t see why we must be out there to be seen when there is nobody to see us." “But, dear bee, l am not looking for flow ers this morning; I am writing.” “And what are you writing!” “A sonnet.” “Are there no sonnets to be had at the stores!” “O, yei! Shakespeare’s and Milton's and Wordsworth’s, of course.” “And are your sonnets better than Shake speare’s!" “Why, of course not." “Then let your sonnet go. Come out in the garden with us, aud on the way home I’U buy you a sonnet at the store—a Shake speare sonnet, the very best in the market.” “ But, you see, I want to try making a sonnet of my own.” “Very well, let me see you try.” I took up the pen again, and was soon absorbed in my rhymes and rhythm. In deed, I had quite forgotten that the bee was there, till he stirred uneasily and finally sighed. “Are you not happy In the garden?” I asked. “Not very.” “But why not? Haven’t you all the lib erty you want?” “No; we have every liberty except the liberty we want.’’ “And that is—” “The liberty to work. We find that it isn’t lillies: it isn’t clover; it isn’t honey; it’s making the honey that we like. It isn’t even making the honey for you. that we oare so much about; because, you see, you don’t like honey; it’s just making it.” “I don’t understand. I can’t see how any body oan really like to work.” “But we do. Suppose yon finish your sonnet, while I try to think over a few ar guments to present to you later. So again I took up the pen, and again I was soon happily absorbed, and bad entirely forgotten tho poor bee, till I heard him say wearily: “It doesn’t seem to be very easy to write a sonnet.” “No,” I exclaimed enthusiastically, “it isn’t at all easy. That is the charm of it. Anybody can write tome kind of verse, but very few people can write sonnets. There are a great many rules for making a sonnet; you oan only have just so many lines, and just so few rhymes, aud the sentiment must change in just such a place, and very few people have the patience for it. Even Hhakspeare did not keep to the severest style of sonnet.” “And are you trying to obey all the rules P’ “Yes •> “Why?” “Why, for the fun of it. It is so interest ing to see whether one can do it.” “Butit must be awfully tedious; and from vour own account, you are really working harder over it thau you need to.” “Only because it is a great deal more in teresting to do a thing well than just to do it. Let me read you something from Wordsworth's sonnet about the sonnet. Ho says: In truth the prison unto which we doom Ourselves no prison is; meaning that, if we are willing to take pains, there is a great deal of enjoyment in working hard over a thing, even if it is a very small thing. He gives a great many comparisons, about nuns being contented with their narrow convents, ami hermits in their cells, and students in their libraries, aud weavers at the loom; and here, O, here, is an allusion to you, dear bee: he tells how— —Bees that soar for bloom, High as the highest peak of Furness-felle. Will murmur by the hour in foxglove belle. “Thatis just what you meant, isn’t it?— that you are one of those he speak) of who ‘have felt the weight of too much liberty.’ ’’ “Yes, that is what I meant; but I think I said it better than he says it. If it is a fine thing to say what you mean in just four teen lines, why isn’t It a finer thing to say what you mpan in fourteen words? And really It seems to me that I put the whole of his sonnet into saying that it is not for tbe honey that I care, nor for the sonnet that you care;but the fun of the work.” “The fun of tbe work! That is anew idea —but I believe yon are right.” “Of course lam right Sweetness is all very well, but I should think it would be very tiresome just to be sweet, like a flower; I’d rather be a bee and have to hunt for tbe sweetness.” “And I’d rather be a human being and have to make thinsp sweet For, after all, if a beo doesn’t find any sweetness, he ean’t haveany, while people can make it for themselves. Do you know, by the way, that you bavo given mo a splendid Bubject for a poem!” "Perhaps I have. But if you will excuse me, I will be off to the clover-field; and my advice to you is, if you must write a poem, try to put it in four lines instead of four teen.” So I tried, and this is tbe pcem: Sweetness in being sweet, that’s for tbe flowers; Sweetness in finding sweet*, that’stfer. the bee; Sweetness in making sweet sorrowful hours, Tbat is tbe sweetness for you and for ms. SHE LOVES HER CHILD. Sensational Scene in a Court Room. From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal Here is a story whlob comes from Balti more that will prove interesting to many Atlanta people. The story printed in the Baltimore papers is as follows: Henry A. Keppel. the popular and energetic Atlanta agent or me Collier Publishing Com pany, of New York, and his wife, had a sharp contest In court to day over tho possession of tbeirchlld. Mrs Koppel filed a complaint in the Fulton county court of Georgia recently, asking for a divorce on the grounds of infidel ity Pending litigation Mre. Keppel secured ali mony for herself and sl2 extra for her da ugh ter, in case the latter was retained under the jurisdiction of a Georgia court. Acting on counsel’s advice Mrs. Keppel came to this city, where she has since lived with her parents. While here Keppel filed a crossbill, also charg ing infidelity, ana upon Keppel's petition the child was awarded to him because of the mother’s oontempt of court In removing her from the state. With a copy of this ruling Mr. Keppel came here, and entered habeas corpus proceeding to recover the child. The case came up to-day, and Judge Duffy declined to iuterfere with the Georgia court's decision. Ween he awarded the child to the father the mother declined to give hrr up and begged to be allowed to take her to Atlanta on the train witn her husband, and there submit to the court’s ruling. This offer the husband declined, and when the mother still clung to her child a deputy sheriff was sent for Mrs. Kippel ran to the comer of the room. Placing the tot behind her she stood like a lioness at bay. About a dozen woman in court Implored the husband to let the mother have the child. He was obdurate, and finally tbe mother yielded, but the little one ran screaming from her father wbo. after chasing her around tbe court, picked her up and carried her away. On Jan. 22 last Mrs. Keppel, through her attorneys, Messrs. Hopkins & Son, filed a divorce suit against her husband, askiug alimony and attorneys’ fees. In March, through his attorneys, W. W. Hadeu and John L. Bigby, Mr. Keppel filed an answer and crossbill against bis wife. The coart, after investigating tbe case, awarded the mother the custody of their child, a little 4-year-old daughter, and or dered Keppel to pay $25 a month alimony and sl2 a month to support the child until otherwise ordered by ths court, on condi tions that the wife remained in Georgia. 8 ion after the decision of the court Mrs. Keppel left Atlanta and went to relatives in Baltimore. The court was then informed that since the filing of the petition, the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary E. Keppel, had removed from the state, carrying her child with her. The provision that he should pay sl2 a month for the support of the child was then made conditional on her returning to the state and giving bond and security to keep the child within the jurisdiction of the court Upon her failure to comply the child was awarded to the father, and tbe payment of sl2 a month toward the sup port of the child was to abate. On June 4 Keppel received the order awarding him the custody of the child, left Atlanta and wont to Baltimore, where be instituted a writ of habeas corpus proceed ings in the court of common pleas iu Balti more. The child was awarded to Keppel, but soon afterward Maj. Minor, the child’s grandfather, secured the child and refused to (jive it up to Keppel. Keppel has filed a writ of habeas corpus against his father-in-law, at he olaiffis he is detaining the child. Keppel will probably be awarded the child again and then he will return to Atlanta. Ho is expected to arrive here to-morrow. Mr. Haden, one of his attorneys, is now in communication with lawyers in Balti more concerning this interesting case. RIVAL THE BENDERS. The Westmorelands Arrested for Many Mysterious Murders. Fort Smith, Ark., June 31.—At last one of the most remarkable dens of thieves and cut-throats in the country hat been raided, and three of the gang, the noted Westmore lands, were brought here to-day, and lie in jail on the oharges of various murders. They are Wilde Westmoreland, John Bird and John Cagle, brother-in-law of West moreland. A few days ago a boy 19 years old, giving his name as Sherman Phelps, came into the United States marshal’s office and related his storv of the killing of two travelers by the Westmorelands on Feb. 15, 1860, over a year ago. They were robbed of their money and the murderers compelled the boy to throw the bodies into Salt oreek, which flows into the Camerron river three miles from where it flows into the Arkansas. The toy, with a rope around his nook, was made to swear never to reveal the crime, and did not till in the presence of the United States mar shal. The matter was kept quiet to enable the authorities to apprehend the parties, which they did on Buiday morning last at their home at the mouth-of the Camerron, surprising them in their beat. The creek is too high for dragging now, but will be searched thoroughly as soon as low enough to admit. For years past travelers have been known to stop at the Westmoreland’s and have never been seen again. The bones of three victims were found in a wood near by, pointed out by Cagle to the marshal's party, and near by were found some good clothing, a lady’s No. 3 shoe and three watches, all buried under a foot of earth. The tumblo-down cabin is at the foot of a bluf 100 feet high, and be hind it were found frames of valises, piles of clothing and other articles, probably booty taken from murdered victims. ATTACKED BY A VIOIOU3 MULE. Blacksmith fleymsn Shod It, but the Beast Had Its Revenge. From the yew York World. Sebewaino, Mich., June 18.—George Beach, a farmer, owned a mule that has al ways been a terror to farriers and never has been shod except after being thrown. Fred Heyman, anew blaoksmith, told Beach he would shoe that mule in the regu lar way if he died in the attempt. Aided by three men to hold the mule Heyman sucoeeded in the task yesterday. Then he stepped to the window to 000 l off, when the mule broke away from the man holding him and rushed at Heyman, striking at him with bis forefeet, one of the hoofs hitting him in the bead. Heyman dodged to get out of the way, when the mule dropped on all fours and snapped at him with his foaming jaws. Heyman attempted to dodge in a corner, but in doing so came faon to face with the mad beast. He yelled to the others to kill the mule. One of the men drew his revolver, but before he could fire the mule had made another snap at Heyman and bitten off his nose and part of his right cheek. Then the shot rang out and tho mule fell dead. Heyman’s nose was sewed on, but be has only a slight chance for life. He is crazy from fright, and the doctor says he is likely to die of blood poisoning. If he lives he will be noseless. The mule nearly killed a man who tried to shoe him about a year ago. MEDICAL* Young Mothers!
