Newspaper Page Text10 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. THE NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. An Ov6rdcse of Morphine Taken by a Dawson Woman-A Railroad Wreck at Rhine Station-Homicide in Butts County— Thieves In Macon—Amerl cus Cotton Onerations- Columbus’ Successful Year. GEORGIA. Sheriff AUagood of Telfair county sold last Tuesday ten lots of land, the prices paid aggregating $59. The store house of Henry F. Brown at Bede was broken into last week, and goods to the value of #250 were stolen. The Henry A. Smith lot on the corner of Fast First street and Fourth avenue has been selected as the site for Home's new public building. Athens received her first hale of this year’s cotton crop on Tuesday. It was brought in by A. C. Arnold from Oglethorpe county, and weighed 515 pounds. The annual report of the bureau of vital statistics of Coiumbus shows Slid death, 15- whites and 211 colored; there were 4T2 births, 252 whites and 22U colored. F. W. Miller of the firm of B. C. Miller & Sons, house movers, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Is in Augusta to inspect the court house and furnish estimates on raising it, which some of the committee think is the best thing to do. Lithonia Sew Era: The grape crop is about disposed of. The growers say it brought an unusually small price, from .1 to 8 cents per pound. Some have received as much as S2OO per acre. This crop is made with very little work. Tuesday Conyers received her first new bale of new cotton for the season. It was brought in by Arthur W hitakor and sold to J, H. Almand & Cos. at 6 1-6 cents per pound. It was classed ordinary, and was very green and damp. Representatives of Company H, Third Georgia regiment, met at Covington Tues day and agreed to hold a reunion on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. The Newton County Veterans’ As sociation and a number of citizens also met to arrange for the third Georgia reunion on Bept. 30 and Oct. 1. Rochelle Recorder: The ‘city fathers’’ have added another tiger to their fast grow ing menagerie. It is not anything like the circus “Royal Bengal tiger, with ninety nine stripes,” but was a poor, little, insig nificant, kinky-haired black tiger. He was convicted of selling mean whisky, and ag he didn’t have #25, he is now viewing the stars through the bars, and acquiring the much desired accomplishment of catebiug fleas in the dark. It is understood tnat Jesup’s worthy mayor is vary indignant over a special sent to the Atlanta Constitution from Havan- nah last Monday stating that be had that day had a street duel with some tough and that he (the mayor) had killed his man. It is thought it would be safer and more pru dent for the enterprising correspondent who sent the special to keep away from Jesup for awhile, as the people of that city deny the story in toto, and are very indignant ov'er the matter. Americus Times-Recorder: There is n substantial farmer living in Miller county who now has his sixth wife, having buried five in days gone by. He seems to be as happy and contented as though he was en joying his first boueymoon. The strangest part of the story is that each of his deceased wives died on Friday before the second Sunday in the month between the hours of . 4 and 7 o’clock p. m. Our informant, who As agent for a marble yard, sold the gentle man fife tombstones to place ovor their graves. | The trade review of the Columbus En quirer-Sun consists of sixtoen pages, giving a complete history of the business of the city for the past year. It is a credit to the city as well as to the publishers. During the year 139 buildings have been erected at a cost of #830,119. The cotton receipts during the season were 85,852 bales against 83,035 bales for the previous season, showing an increase of 5,817 bales. The through cotton since Aug. 31, 1889, which is cotton shipped from other points, compressed in Columbus and shipped to Savannah, thence to New York, eastern •pinners and Liverpool, amounts to 96,502 bales. Monday night of last week, Mrs. J. D. Geise, who lives several miles from IJawson, made a serious mistake in taking a dose of morphine. During the afternoon she had a severe headache, and a dose of morphine was administered to her for relief. After retiring that night her head again began to severely pain her, and to relieve it she got up for another dose. Thinking that she could safely take the drug in the dark, she did not trouble to light a lamp, but went to where it was kept and took some of it, more than she intended. Soon after lyin g down tbe second time she began to feel th e effects of the overdose. A physician was sent for immediately. At last accounts she was on a fair wav to recovery. The military will comprise one of the big gest features of tho Augusta exposition. Companies will be there from all over tho south. The military exercises will take place on Nov. 5, 6 and 7. About thirty com panies will be in attendance. The follow ing named gentlemen have agreed to serve as judges: Maj. J. G. Butler of the Augusta arsenal: Lieut. (’. B. Satterlee, United States army: Col. J. Colleton Lyorffc, Milledgeville Military College; Capt. Hoff Sims, South ern Cadets, llacou. Capt. Austin, chair man of tbe military committee, is thinking of asking an additional appropriation of $750 for a colored prize drill and fireman’s tournament. This sura, and the contests it would bring about would draw 20,000 col ored people from the surrounding towns and counties. Jackson Argus: Butts county was the scene of another homicide on Friday. Jim Stroud is the dead man and Martin Walker did the killing. It seems that these young negroes fell out about a women, and to set tle tho difficulty met in the road just above Fincberville, and began to quarrel and finally came to blows. Walker used his knife freely while Stroud only used his fist. Stroud was out on the undtr part of the right arm near the shoulder and hied to death in a few minutes. Martin made his escape, but was captured on Sunday morning by Bailiff Cordy Barnes and iodged in jail. The coroner held an inquest, but the jury only returned a verdict that the deceased v s killed with a knife, and that the knife was in the hands of Martin Walker. Notwithstanding it was a "short cotton crop,” Ainericus managed to receive 43,579 bales of the fleecy article at its warehouses during the past year, which required in round figures |2,400,000 to move. Besides the above the railroads brought into the city, by actual book count, 2u,00b bales of cotton, which were compressed and re sbippcd. These were not placet! to the credit of Americus. Before the Savannah, Amerious and Montgomery railroad was built, Americus was in good luck to market 20,000 bales, and at the end of the season ■he would rejoice and say she would surely get 25,000 next season. The Savannah, Ainericus and Montgomery railroad has done the work, and to it Americus owes its prosperity and advancement. Unless all signs fail the warehousemen will receive 75,000 bales the coming season. Abbeville Times: Lost Friday morning the westbound through freight train on the Savannah, Ainericus and Montgomery rail road was wrecked at a point one mile east of Rhine station. The train was u long and heavily freighted one, and the catastrophe is supposed to have been caused by tr.e spreading of the track consequent upon the recent heavy rains. Eleven cars were de railed and tumbled down tbe tea-foot em bankment in a confused mass. The cars are said to be ut terly demolished. Conductor Thomas sustaieed serious injuries from con cussion and the fracture of a leg in two places. Tbe engineer and a negro brake man both sustained injuries from concus sion. This is the first accident of any con sequence that has occurred on this road for many months, and it was one of those una voidable accidents that frequently occur on railroads all over the country. Wednesday night between 8:30 and 9:30 o’clock a thief entered the residence ol H. J. Lamar, Jr., in Vineville, a A* Macon, while he was absent, and stole many articles of value. When Mr. . .arnar re turned at 9:30 o’clock he noticed immedi ately upon entering his room that >- mm been robbed, the secret drawer of his bu reau, in which he kept his articles of value, lying upon the floor and the other drawers in the bureau being ooeu, aid also the private vault in his secretary, in which he kept valuable papers, had been forcibly ] broken open, tbe door having been prized ■ off the hiDgesand his papers scattered about | the room. It will be remembered that several years ago the notorious Alex Etheridge burglarized Mr. Lamar s resi- ,fence, and among the articles stolen at that time was a watch which was several months afterward recovered at a pawn broker’s shop iu Macon. He attempted to ! erase the name of the maker of’ the watch j by scratching it out, hut only partially suc ceeded. The watch stolen Tuesday night was the same one, and can be easily identi fied bv tbe marks he made by attempting to scratch out the name. This successful rob bery was a bold one and must have been the work of one who had served on ap prenticeship at the business and received a diploma for proficiency in the art. FLORIDA. Some of the growers iu the vicinity of Iteeshurg are selling their < ranges on the trees at #1 per box, and at least one sale has been mado at Micanopv for #1 05 per box. The action of the Alachua county com missioners yesterday in offenngla reward of SI,OOO to aid in the capture of Harmon Murray will be universally approved by the citizens of that county. Monday night a thief broke into St. .Jo seph's convent at Fernandlna, unlocked a drawer in one of the rooms and abstracts 1 S4O in cash. Only two of the sisters were in the building at the time, the others being in St. Augustine. Complaint is made that razor-back hogs are playing havoc with the crops in North Gainesville. It is a well-known fact that a razor-back swine can turn on his side and creep through an extremely small hole, or climb a fence with the greatest facility. A number of the citizens of Jonesville, Alachua county, are becoming infected with the orange culture fever. Among others, Joseph Holt has just set out 150 fine orange trees. There are many fine orange trees in that region, some of them bearing as high as 2,000 oranges to the tree. The projectors of the proposed Dalstka and Lakeland railroad are moneyed men and practical railroaders, and are lutereited in the building of the Balatka and Boca Grand. They are backed by some road not far from Baiatka, which is seeking a feeder to the phosphate bods of South Florida. Dr. L. C. Washburn, in charge of the Fort Myers experimental station, has re ceived same coffee and seeds and pods of the eucoa, seods of the India rubbar tree and cahoon nuts, also the cashew nut. All of these are of great commercial import ance. He also has seeds from a hard shelled pumpkin nnd red seeds from an or namental vine, ail of which he has just re ceived from Central America to bo experi mented with at our experimental station. Not including the vessels of the Plant Steamship Lme only one foreign vessel en tered and cleared from the port of Tampa during tbe month of August—the Godiva. The total value of imports, consisting mostly of tobacco, fruits, drugs and wines, was $24,989 63. Tbe value of goods for im mediate consumption wus as follows: Free goods, $579; goods paying specific duties, $9,358 57; goods paying ad valorem duties, $416 40; total, $10,355 97. Duties on same, $0,380 78. The value of goods entered in warehouse was $14,633 65; the duty on same was $11,459 20. Tho Piedmont Coal and Phosphate Com pany. represented in Gainosviile by James M. Graham and T. E. Culverhouse and R. J. Camp & Bros, of Campville, have just received a consigument by tho Mallory Steamship Line of steel rails for the con struction of two miles of standard gauge railroad from Rock Swings, on the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf railroad, to their mines In Marion county. Tho company has now ready for shipment 6,000 tons of phosphate, and it estimates that it will be able to mine not less than 100,000 tons. The Piedmont company has thus far paid Messrs. Culverhouse and Graham $7,000 royalty from property costing them SI,OOO, and from which it is expected they will realize not less than SIOO,OOO. MEDICAL.
