FLOODS IN BALDWIN.
THE EXTENT OF THE LOSSES NOW
PLACED AT $200,000.

Mllledsreville Shut Off from Every
Quarter by Washouts and High
Water—The Oconee Rises Fourteen
Feetln Two Hours—All Hope for the
Crops Drowned With Yesterday’s
Bains.
Millkdokville, Ga., Aug. 27.—T0-day
has bean signally a day of rest in Milled s;e-
Tiile. Tao city is cut off by washouts and
high water from every quarter and business
has been confined strictly to the looal trade.
The mail and transportation service on both
roads is completely paralyzed and it will
take a week or more to make any sort of
railway connections. Tho beavy rains of to
day will greatly retard the work of repairs
and will greatly add to the less of crops.
Three construction trains are now repair
ing the damage on the Central railroad,
but it will be Monday or Tuesday before
trains can be run between here and (tor
don, as two miies of the roadbed which
■was
ENTIRELY SWEPT AWAY
will have to be rebuilt. The breaks on the
Georgia road are wide and numerous, and
it will be tea days or two weeks before
travel can be resumed on that line. The
report of losses wired the News last night
are not only verified, but magnified. To
day conservative estimates of the'losses in
Baldwin oounty, counting the damage to
its crops from inundation, are very little
abort of $200,000. In view of the rapid rise
and fall of the Oconee river tho belief is
justified that the fiercest of the storm was
of a decided local nature, and the faot that
THE RIVER ROSE FOURTEEN FEET
in about two hours, au unprecedented occur
rence, will give an idea of the fury of the
flood. Heavy periodic showers have fallen
constantly here, and a steady rain continu
ously this evening. The hope for highland
crops that lived through the storm
of Tuesday night is almost drowned
in the rains to-day. Not since the
war have the farmers of this section
■tood under the Bhadow of a more appalling
condition. All of the streams have risen
continuously and additional injury rides on
every drifting wave. The rain continues
to fall to-night, but a bright streak in the
western sky is welcomed as the dove with
the leaf of olive, and insures the cheering
hope that the flood’s fiercest fury has about
passed away.
THE FLOODS IN PUTNAM.
Bains Continue and tho Damage
Greater Than Report,ed.
Eatonton, Ga., Aug. 27.— The rains
have continued throughout the day and the
damage in the lower part of the county
seems to be greater than reported. All the
bridges in that section have been washed
awav and the bottom lands are suffering
greatly.
The farmers along Little river will gather
little or no corn from the bottoms. Two
flue horses belonging to S. Napier were
drowned last night. No loss of life has boen
reported yet. J. H. Webster and son
NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
last night while crossing Lick creek; the
buggy was demolished, but the burse swain
ashore. No mail has l>een received here
since last Tuesday evening. The Central
track is being repaired as rapidly as possi
ble, and until this is done no mail can reach
fcatonton—probably Saturday or Sunday.
BISS OF THE! SAVANNAH.
It is Now 26 Feet at Augusta, but ho
Danger Feared.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 27.—The persistent
and heavy rains of the past week or two
have swollen the Savannah river, but it is
still within its banks. It was so low when
the rise began that it will require
a very big rise to do any barm.
It is now twenty-six feet deep,
but six feet more would only bring the
water into a few low streets. It is not
probable, however, that it will rsaoh thirty
feet, as the stars are saining to-night and
there is promise of fair weather Washouts
on the railroads have interfered greatly
with schedules, but no wrecks have resulted
in this vicinity.
THE TEaBODY INSTITUTE.
The First Southwest Georgia Meeting
a Great Success.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. 27.—The closing
exercises of the white institute, under the
direction of Commissioner Brad well, and
the solored institute, under the direction
of Prof. Floyd Snelson, were held to-night.
Gov. Northern was announced to speak
to-day, and this drew to the city a large
number of people from the surrounding
country. The governor failed to arrive,
and Commissioner Bradwell took his place,
and entertained the large crowd in his usual
eloquent ond happy manner.
Last night Dr. Clifton lectured on “Lon
don. the Modern Babylon,” to the largest
audieucs assembled during the institute.
Evervbody is delighted with the sucoees
of the first Peabody Institute held iu South
Georgia.
WEDDED AT AMERICU9.
Charles B. Wilborue Leads Miss Ibble
Prince to the Altar.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 27.—T0-day at
high noon Miss Ibbie Prinea was married
at the home of her father, J. K. Priuce, on
College street, to Charles B. Wilborne of
Macon. Rev. Robert Adams officiating. The
groom is a prominent official of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad, well known
and highly appreciated in Americus, which
was for a time hif home. The bride pos
sesses all the characteristic graces aud
charms of perfect womanhood. The happy
couple left on the aftsrnoon train upon an
extended tour to New York and other
northern pleasure resorts.
GEORGIA’S GREAT GAIN.
Th 9 Aggregate Increase In the Tax
Returns $25,147,723.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.—The finest lot
of books that have gone to the controller
general’s office in a long time were finished
up here to-night and will be sent in to
morrow.
The tax digest of Fulton county shows
$57,345,972; last year the return was $46,-
055,207. This is the largest increase ever
shown by any county in the state. All the
counties in the state have been heard from
now. The aggregate net increase is $25,147.-
723, of which Fulton alone contributes more
than one-fourth.
Death of Miss Annie Gyle3.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 27.—News reached
the city to-night that Miss Annie Gylei had
Just died in Gainesville, Ga., wh.pro she has
for some time been sick with typhoid fever.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Mallio Gvles of
this city and granddaughter "f Hon. ioli Hill
of Bror, wood. Ga. Just blooming into woman
hood, popular with all, the news of her
death saddens the whole city.
Taxation for School Funds.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 27.—The House
committee on education this evening agreed
to report favorably upon the bill by Mr.
Reid of Putnam to allow cities, towns,
counties and sub-school districts to supple
ment the common school fund by local and
ad valorem taxation.
Senator Pasco at Pensacola.
Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 27. Hon.
Samuel Pasco, United States senator from
this stale, is iu the city to-day looking alter
the wants of bis constituents, in order that
li may the more intelligently present them
at tbs next session of congress.
POLITICS IN GLYNN.
Conjecture as to Who Will Get the
Eleventh District Honor.
Brunswick, Ga., Aqg. 27.—Politicians
and citizens of Brunswick generally ate dis
cussing the probabilities of certain gentle
men of the new Eleventh district securing
the congressional honor. Among the
names mentioned are Hon. H. G. Turner,
the congressman, whom the res district
will inherit; Judge Spencer R. Atkinson
and Hon. W. G. Brantley, the judge aid
solicitor general respectively of the Bruns
wick circuit.
From expressions obtained by the News
correspondent it isevide it that Brunswick
ians expect now that Mr. Turner will stick
at least for one term longer, as they think
it would be bad poliev for Brunswick to put
a candidate in the field at once, presuming
that such a move would create discord
among tbe outside voters and delay Bruns
wick in securing the congressman. The
supporters < f Mr. Turner claim that
HE WOULD GO THROUGH EASILY
if nominated. Where others would have a
hard pull. On tte other hand, it is said
that the farmers’alliance will put forth a
candidate of thoir own nnd defeat Mr.
Turner or any other democrat. If this is
done, J udge Atkinson or Solicitor Brantley
will be put forth by Glynn.
I he race between thesa two for the nomi
nation would lie close and interesting. Both
have numbers of friends in Glynn and the
counties immeiiatoly adjacent. Judge
Atkinson has many relations who are noted
for sticking to one auother.
In the Brunswick Circuit Solicitor Brant
ley has many followers, aud his former
residence tu Pierce county resulted in his
adding scores of friends to a list that has
always been long.
Messrs. Brantley and Atkinson are non
committal. and It is supposed that they are
waiting to learn definitely what Mr. Turner
will do.
WILL BRANTLEY BE A CANDIDATE?
In the Gordon-Norwood deadlocx in 188S
Mr. Brantley was suggested as a compro
mise nominee, but declined positively to al
low his name to be u,ed. During a recent
interview with the News representative he
expressed bimseif in sue i a manner that tho
inference was drawn that it was his belief
that no candidate could be nominated with
out the support of the farmers’ alliance, and
during another oonversati n ho spoke as if
Mr. Turner would receive his support
should that gentleman desire t j again outer
tbe race.
THE NEW CIRCUIT.
Tho petition of the lawyers in the upper
portion of the Brunswick circuit for anew
circuit, which is now pending before the
legislature, will probably meet with some
opposition from Glynn, now that the new
district has been arranged. Tbe reason for
this is that the citizens here will want to
keep in touch with tbe people of
that locality in order to secure
their co-operation when the race is on. If
tbe new circuit is arranged, Bruuswick will
be cut off from a good slice, and for that
reason man}- here will oppose it who form
erly favored the movement.
ANOTHER MOVEMENT
that will bo watched with interest is the
sain of the Brunswick Ti mes, whioh occurs
on Sept. 8. Who will be the new owners
and what candidate the paper will support
are interesting questions. It is not known
yet whether the Atkinson supporters will
try to buy it. but it is pretty well under
stood that Editor McCook will retain
the management when it changes hands.
THE BERNER BILL.
Pat Calhoun's Argument Postpon9d at
His Request.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.— T0-night the
general judiciary committee of the House
had another meetiog, to hear the conclusion
of Pat Calhoun's argument in opposition to
the Berner bill. Because there was barely
a quorum present the request of Mr. Cal
houn was granted, that the matter bo post
poned, aud his argument heard later.
It would not be fair, perhaps, to
charge that the railroads aro trying to kill
the measure by delay and by obstructive
tactics, but it may be noted that the bill
has been put off time and again and con
tinued and strung out until it is already
doubtful if a majority of both houses deter
mined to pass it they could do so over the op
position of a minority. The real importance
of this measure is not generally under
stood.
IT IS IN EFFECT THE OLIVE BILL
of last session. Mr. Calhoun said so to-night.
There are now lying on the desks of the
members pamphlet copies of tho arguments
made m tbe last legislature against the
Olivo bill. The arguments are by Hon. J.
R. Lamar of Augusta, W. C. Glenn of
Whitfield, Congressman Thomas G. Lawson,
Roger L. Gamble of Jefferson, and others.
The issues then and now are identical,
and before the session is over this will be
accounted the most important measure that
has come before this legislature.
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
One Negro Bov t rushed to Death and
Another Drowned.
Fernanoina, Fla. , Aug. 27.— An un
fortunate accident occurred yesterday on
board the British steamship Portugalete,
now loading phosphate rock here, in which
two negro boys lost their lives. The cars
containing the rook were secured
by a inanilla line and allowed to
slide down au incline to tbe deck of the
steamer, where the rook was dumped into
the hatches from the car. One of the ears,
on which there were a negro man and two
boys, broke from its moorings, or the line
parted rather, and tho oar went down with
a rush. One of the boys was crushed to
death and the other went overboard and
was never seen afterward. The man eseaDed
unhurt. The vessel was also slightly
damaged.
AGAINST THE STAY LAW. .
The Agricultural Committee Unani
mous in an Adverse Report.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. —The general
agricultural committee of the House agreed
upon a favorable report this evening upon
the bill by Mr. Sibley of Cobb to regulate
the return for taxes of notes, bods, stock
certificates, etc. The bill provides that
unless these papers have upon them the tax
receiver’s stamp to suow that thev have been
returned they shall be non collectable.
THK STAY LAW
came up for a vote before the general agri
cultural committee, and it was reported
adversely by a unanimous vote.
Crowned at Pensacola.
Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 27.— George,
tho 9-year-old son of Samuel Taylor, who
lives iu the west ?n part of the’city, left
home yesterday afternoon and did not re
turn as usual. A search for him was kept up
all last nigtit and to-day. His b >dy wai found
in the bay near Perdido wharf tms even
! iug. It is supposed that the little fell jw
fell from the wuarf and was drowned.
She Is Tired of Life.
Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 27.—Julie Sin
clair, who lives at the corner of baylen and
Intendencia streets, is tired of life. Last
night she drauk ab ml au ounce of lauda
num w ith suicidal intent, and her effort-at
self-destruction would doubtless have been
effective, but for the prompt appearance of
a physician.
Frost in North Dakota.
Minneapolis, Minn., lAug. 27.— A
special from Church's Ferry, N. D., says:
“Heavy frost last night did damage to
tbe green uncut grain. The thermometer
registered 28”. Ice was formed on the heads
of wheat in many fields. The farmers tried
smudge firej to a very large extent, but
some think that they did not commence
soon enough, some of them waitlug almost
till tbe freezing point was reached before
starting fires.”
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1891.
VETERANS PROTEST.
Tbe Action of the Legislature on tbe
Boldiers’ Home Bill Condemned.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27.— There was an
indignation meeting at the artesian well to
night. It was called to protest against the
action of the legislature iu refusing to ao
copt the confederate home. The Confeder
ate Veterans’ Association of Fulton county
met at their hall and marched over in a
body. Before their arrival the people
were addressed by Hon. W. T. Smith of
Gwinnett. When the veterans arrived
Judge W. L. Calhoun, president of that
body, and also president of the board of
trustees of the home, took charge of tbe
meeting. He s'ated at the outset that this
was not properly an indignation meeting,
but it intended to be
A RESPECTFUL AND DIGNIFIED PROTEST.
S; leeches were made by Sam Small, Col.
W. H. Haley, Editor Henry Richardson of
the Journal, R?v. Dr. J. W.
Lee, Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne.
Judge K. L. R idgers and others. The
speeches were lurid at times and the crowd
was enthusiastic. In point of numbers, and
measured by the spirit shown, the meeting
was an emphatic success, though tbe three
representatives from Fulton published a
card this afternoon deprecating the move
ment.
TO FORM A STOCK COMPANY.
One statement made to-night as a fact
was that an effort is now on foot to form a
stock company fur the home, and that sev
eral prominent members of tbe O. M.
Mitchell Post,Grand Army of the Republic,
bad offered to guarantee that this post
would take $5,000 worth of stock.
A HUMOROUS AND SERIOUS SEQUEL.
The meeting has a sequel humorous and
then serious. After the meeting at the
artesian well broke up a big crowd headed
for the Kimball house, whore Hon. W. T.
Smith was. The crowd regarded him with
grim affection as an exponent
of their own bloodthirsty sentiment,
not knowing that the “ pistols
and ooffee’’ talk had already settled down
to a newspaper controversy. They gath
ered him up bodily with great enthusiasm
and lifted him upon the top of a carriage.
They w ere going to tbe capitol to oxpress
their indignation there. Mr. Smith was not
in the carriage, but on the top, and no less
than half a dozen others were standing
upon it also. In the midst of the cheering
and enthusiasm the top of the carriage
broke in. The orator-to-be (Smith) dropped
suddenly out of sight, with Larry Gantt on
top of him and five or six others on top of
Larry. This mishap was quickly remedied,
and nobody was hurt.
THIt MARCH TO THE CAPITOL.
The march was then taken up for the
capitol, and amid the shouting and cheer
ing the crowd took formal possession of the
legislature. Nothiug more was done to
make Mr. Smith speak. There was bad
blood in the crowd, but as most of them
were boys and young men there was
little danger of damage being done. Witba
littlo encouragement and leadership the
meeting to-night mieht have resulted dis
astrously. That wrecked and discarded
carriage, the driver of which is mournfully
soliloquizing over the cause of whimsical
popularity aud tbo ingratitude of you g
men, is a striking illustration of what the
crowd could do.
SENATOR BUTLER ATTACKED.
His Opposition to the Sub-Treasury
Scheme the Cause.
Charleston, S. C.. Aug. 27.—Dr. J.
William Stokes is the president of the
farmer’s alliance of this state aud editor of
the Cotton Plant, the alliance organ.
At a recent debate on tho sub-treasury
scheme at Prosperity, S. C., Senator Butler
asserted that the scheme was impracticable
and dishonest, and among other things said
that there were men who would borrow
money at 2, 10, 20and 50 percent, who cared
nothing about the rate of interest charged
because they never intended to pay it back.
AN ATTACK ON BUTLER.
After tbo meeting Dr. Stokes attacked
Senator Butler in the Cotton Plant, saying
that Senutor Butler had said that the farm
ers wanted to borrow money at 2 per cent.,
never intending to pay it back.
I)r. Stokes said men who borrowed money
without Intending to pay it back were
thieves and scoundrels, and intimated that
Senator Butler had charged 40,000 alliance
men in South Carolina with being thieves
and scoundrels, and calling on them to re
pel the senator’s "Infamous charge.”
At the next election Dr. Stokes, it is said,
HAS HIS BYE ON BUTLER’S BEAT
in the Senate, the latter’s term expiring in
1893. Senator Butler has been absent from
the state in attendance upon the naval com
mittee of the Senate, but he has returned
home to meet his accusers face to face.
The fiews and Courier will publish an
interview with Senator Butler to-morrow,
in which he
DENIES DR. STOKES’ CHARGE
and denounces him as “devoid of principle
and honorable qualities.’’ “All circum
stances” says Butler, “convict him either
of self-stultification, or, what is worse, will
ful falsehood.”
In closing his interview Senator Butler
uses these words: “If there is anything the
people of this state detest and despisa it is a
sneak and a liar.”
A mass meeting is to ho held at Bates
burg, S. C., on Sept. 9, which Senator But
ler will attend to meet Dr. Stokes on the
stump.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S VALUATION.
The Statement! of the Census Bureau
Not Warranted by Facts.
Charleston, S. C., Aug. 27.—The state
ments of tbe acting superintendent of tbe
census in relation to the alleged decreased
value of assessed property in South Carolina
during the decade of 1839-1890 is not war
ranted by the facts. His assertion
that the census bulletin shows pre
cisely the value of the real estate
and personal property os published
by the controller general of South Carolina
is not true. In point of fact, the control-
report for 1880 gives tbe total assessed
valuation of all property, not including
railroads, at $119,285,434. The controller’s
reoort for 189 J gave the total assessed val
uation of all property, not including rail*
roads, at $132,896,538.
THE CONTROLLER shows an incrbasb.
Instead of a decrease of $1,377,497 in tho
assessed valuation of property, as stated in
tbe census bulletin, the controller’s report
shows that there wa an increase of $13,-
411,104. Including railroads, the increase
was $17,539,617. The valuations there given
are taken from the official reports of the
controller general and are the valuations
on which the people of South Carolina have
paid taxes.
DISSATISFIED ENGINEERS.
To Abandon Their Locomotives Un
less Engineer Heidt is Reinstated.
Charleston, S. C., Aug. 27.—The air is
full of rumors to-night of a strike of the lo
comotive engineers of the South Carolina
railway. It is stated that the engineers are
dissatisfied with the discharge of Engineer
Heidt of the freight train recently wrecked
at Summerville, and have demanded his re
instatement la case of a refusal of the rail
road authorities to comply, it is said the
brotherhood will order all the engineers to
abandon their locomotives. The authorities
here have not yet received any such de
mand.
YALE IN LUCK.
