UAGOOD IS our ON BAIL.
A BELIEF THAT HE WILL FORFEIT
THE SI,OOO AND FLEE.
His Chicago Wife Put Dp the Money.
By Her Lawyer’s Instructions She
Declined to State Whether She Was
Married to Hag-ood—More Wives
Turning Dp.
Charleston. 8. C., Feb. 21—The fes
tive, gilt-edged Barnwell bigamist, Col. A.
E. Hagood, who was brought here lrom
Atlanta yesterday, appeared bef >ro the re
corder at the police court this morning
after spending an hour and a half on his
toilet and dallying with a dainty breakfast
furnished by his Chicago wife. From the
police court he was sent to a trial justice on
a warrant charging him with bigamy. The
Chicago wife found friends hers, and he
was represented by ex-Muyor Bryan at the
preliminary hearing. The Justice board the
statement of wife No. 3, and the evi
dence of tbe minister who performed the
marriage ooremony with Miss Beaudrot.
The Savannah wife did not appear. The
Chicago wife went on the stand, but at the
instance of Hagood’s counsel, refused to tes
tify whether she had ever been married to
Hagood. The court threatened to send her
to jaii, but she he’d firm and the court
backed out. The court decided to send the
case to tbe court of sessions. The solicitor
asked for $5,000 ball. The justico fixed the
bail at #I,OOO, which was promptly fur
nisned, and the colonel and his C hicago
wife were free. It i9 generally
believed that the lady will
pay up the SI,OOO to the bondsmen and that
nothing more will be heard of the case un
less it be through Policeman Beaudrot’s
pistol.
more wives turning up.
The colonel’s wives have been turning up
all day and it begins to look now as if he
had married 8 imeoody in every county la
South Carolina. Besides the two wives con
tributed by Charleston, Miss Alley and
Miss Beaudrot, it is said that he married a
widow here two years ago under the name
of Coyieand leaving her three months after
the wedding sent her a Philadelphia paper
announcing his death. It is also
said that he married a Miss Atkins in Pine
opoiis, ail aristocratic settlement in Berke
ley county, some years ago, and another in
Orangeburg county.
Miss Beck, his Savannah wife, is well
known here, having lived here about twenty
years ago. She had entered the convent
and was preparing to take the veil when
she fell heir to some property and gave up
tbe idea. Then she married llagood. The
colonel used to travel through this state
buying cattle and horses, and is well known
all over the state. His arrest has caused a
great sensation. Public opinion denounces
the smalt amount of tbe bad fixed for bis
release and there are some who do not hesi
tate to say that the whole thing was a put
up job to let him off.
TSNNIILE TOPICS.
Effects of the High Price of Cotton
Seed on Next Year's Crop.
Tknnillk, Ga., Feh. 24.—The farming
Interest in this vioinity is receiving atten
tion now. The high price paid for cotton
seed has been the means of plaoing the
probable yield of cotton very much below
last year's crop, and though the farmers are
enabled to meet some of their little ex
penses now with the proceeds of their cot
ton seed the permanent benefit derived from
their sale is not now apparent.
There have been a good many mules
bought this season, which is evidence of
prosperity. The high price of bacon has
caused the fattening of rnany|hngs since
early winter, and the cold of
the last few days enabled the
farmers to make their late killing.
The recent rains have been beneficial to
the small grain crops, and oats, particularly,
seem to have recovered from the severe
cold of January and now promise a lair
crop.
The readers of the Morning News are
delighted with the arrangement with the
Nanoy Hanks, by which the paper reaches

We suppose we are to get the Morning
News by a blue streak after a few more

revenue officers from Macon dropped into
Quitman very quietly yesterday, and driv
ing out to the Morven district, io the upper
part of the county, pounced down on a still.

the Georgia Southern and Florida train
at Hahira carried them to Macon. The
hoys were Walter and Dave Rogers, Buck
Pace and Will Goruto. The boys are all of
good families ana have heretofore been well
behaved and respected. It is thought that
they were led into the trap by some older
parties and then given away to the officers.
The still itself was a very crude affnir, be

a piece of twisted iron piping for a worm.

DUN’S REVIEW OF TRADE.
General Business Fair In Spite of the
Speculative Excitement.
Nbiv York, Feb. 24. —R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade will say: “The col
lapse of the coal combination formed a year
ago by the Reeding railway and the sharp
depression in sugar stocks and a few rail
way sticks have made the week one of un
usual excitement in speculative circles. But
while fIi.O.Hj.OOO gold has gone abroad this
week and SSX).OO'J more is expected to go
to-day there is no increase of npDfehension
about the monetary future, and the business
world pays little attention to the action or
inaction of congress, though the increasing
probabilities of au extra session are recorded
with some interest, Tbe volume of trado
has not bsen diminished, except by severe
storms and the holiday Wednesday, and the
activity of the great industries Is un
checked.
“At Memphis trade is looking up.
“Business Is fair at Nashville, though
collections are not quite so good.
“At Atlanta trade is good.
“Mobile reports fair trade and satisfactory
collections.
“At New Orleans geueral trade fs only
fair, but building contracts are heavy, mills
having all the orders they can fill. Sugar
is in light demand and rice dull.
“Savannah reports dull trade, but an
active demand for money, while at Charles
ton trade is improving.
“Iron is still the weakest of tbe great in
dustries and pig not of the best brand is a
shade weaker than a week ago. Business in
bars is unsatisfactory, plates are very weak
and while structural works are full of
orders, competition is so sharp that prices
have little chance to improve.
“Cotton manufacturing is thoroughly
healthy, the dividends at Fall River being
the largest for four years and some advances
are noted In the prices of goods, while prints
and print oloths are very firm.
“The business failures during the past
week numbered for tbe United States 193
and for Canada 37, a total of 230.’’
BRADSTREBr’B REVIEW.
Tirmlstreet's to-morrow will say:
“Throughout the eastern and middle states
favoring conditions in some leading lines
continue to dominate. The improvement
in the prices of iron aud steel at Pittsburg
seems to havo checked buying, which is now
from hand to mouth again.
“Commercial travelers from Baltimore
are returning, some having finished their
trips aud others to meet southern merchants
and customers expected ut Baltimore iu
large numbers about inauguration time to
make the season’s purchases in person.
“The demand for staple cotton goods at
the eastern mills is in excess of the supply.
Print cloths are firm at 4 cents, with deliv
eries equal to the output and no stock at the
mills, against 50,000 pieces on hand one
year and 340,000 pieces two years ago.
“Reports from the more important south
ern commercial centers indicate that con
tinued unfavorable w eather and bad road
ways at the Interior have exercised further
unfavorable lnlluence.
“Business is steady at Nashville, but
there is no rush. The weather has im
proved. but is not entirely favorable.
"Trade is fairly active at Memphis, par
ticularly for boots, shoes and groceries, and
the like is true as to hardware and of food
staples at lilohmond, but other lines are
said to tie quiet and collections less prompt.
"Even from Atlanta come reports of
mercantile collections being visibly affected
by the bad roadways and continued un
favorable weather, anil New Orleans re
ports that the stagnation in the cotton
market, is resulting in fewer orders from
oountry merchants.
“The weather in Louisiana Is favorable to
sugar planters, and the acreage of sugar
will be increased.
"Tbe weather is better in Texas, where
commercial travelers are sending in larger
orders and more of them.”

through tbe bed on which Crowley was

DIRECT TRADS’B VICTORIES.
Low Export Freight Rates and a New
Great Line—The state Agricultural
Society's Indorsement—Their Com
mittee of Aid.
FYo-n the Atlant i Journal.
Direct trade has just scored several new
good victories.
Asa ineaDS of success. Col. Stovall and I
early applied to the Southern Railway aud
Steamship Association fcr low railroad ex
port rates, and printed the power of the
commissioner to give them and h s promise
to do when ha needed. Col. Stahlman, the
abie head, was in sympathy with the move
ment, and cheortully responded.
The association on Feb. 14, at New York,
officially declared rates ns low as to New
York and New Orleans, putting exportation
to our South Atlantic ports for foreign
countries on the sumo basis.
It voted 10 cents per 10'J pounds on carload
lots Of grain from Memphis to Charleston,
Savannah, l’ort Royal und Brunswick for
export; 30 cents on 100-pound saoks of (lour
and 33 cents on barrels of flour, with differ
ential rates from other western marts.
This is a big practical stop in advance and
a victory and aid and pleasant to the friends
of the move.
I had news a month ago that Mr. Hunt
ington would put on a now great line from
New Orleans. The announcement is made
that two large steamers of 10,000 tons have
been ordered of the boat make. This is
another signal result of the movement.
The Georgia Htate Agricultural Society at
its recent fine oonveution at Augusta passed
the following strong resolution of indorse
ment and co-operation with direct trade
unanimously:
Resolved, That a committee from the Georgia
agricultural society be appointed to meet iho
Satido steamship party at Brunswick and Sa
vannah, Ga , on a day to be named, iu the in

A Father’s Gratitude

Of Rnvenswood, W*Va
“I do not write this at tlie request ol
any one, but because I feel it a duty to hu
manity, so that others alSicted as my boy
was may know where to find relief.
“When my son was seven years old he
began to complain of soreness in his right
leg. A white swelling soon appeared just
below the knee joint, and extended from
the knee to the ankle. At the same time
he was taken with an attack of fever,
which was broken up, but the leg became
very badly swollen, causing him -great
suffering, and the muscles so contracted
that his leg was drawn up at right angles.
He was unable to walk, could not even
bear to be handled, and I thought him a

“After a time wo had the swelling
lanced, midway between the knee and the
ankle, and it would discharge over a pint
of pus at times. I decided to take him to
Cincinnati to have the leg operated upon,
lexpecting he would lose it. But he had
become so poor and weak that I thought I
.would let him gather some strength, if

We continued giving him Hood's Sarsa

The preferred creditors of the Savannah,

accounts were ordered by the court to be
paid out of any excess of earnings above
expenses and certain specific charges, have
beeu awaiting with considerable interest tha
filing of the receivers’ report, which for the
month of December has been due over a

and a summary is presented for the in

* From the foregoing it will bo seen that
the net earnings for Deoember, 1802, were
only $4 648 93; some SIO,OOO less than a
year before, although the gross earnings
were about SIO,OOO greater, tho earnings
being absorbed by an increased expense of
over $30,900 in December, 1892, one-half of
which is oharged to increased operating ex
penses, and the other half to repairs of cars
and engines. Out of the not bal
ance of $4,648 90 there wore paid taxes
$3,149 21, leaving a balance of $1,499 59
to he carried over to January, 1893.
No explanation is given of the payment
of $18,462 86, "interest on bouds” during
the time that the receivers were ia charge;
nor is it stated what balance of cash the re
ceivers had on hand Dec. 1; nor where the
money came from to pay $18,462 86 interest
on bonds, a disbursement not authorized by
the court under the reoeivorship.
HThe lack of information on this point is
no doubt owing to the fact that the report
filed Is not technically the report of the re
ceivers; but is a copy of the monthly report
made by the treasurer to the railroad com
mission on Jan. 2a It would seem that this
item is an error; and should be corrected or
explained.
The report for January will no doubt be
filed in a few days; and it Is hoped will be
fuller, and show a larger balance of net
earnings than is shown for December.
There were about $15,000 of extraordinary
expenses in December wbioh may not attach
to the business for January.

Sciatic Rheumatism
Severe Pain and Stiffness
4 Bottles of Hood’s —Perfect Cure.
“ I am not only willing, but anxious to recom
mend Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was taken with
severe pain and stiffness in my limbs; at times
being hardly able to walk. I consulted a phy
sician, who pronounced my trouble sciatic
rheumatism. Notwithstanding I took medicine,
I became worse instead of better. I had read so
Hood’s Cures
much of Hood’s Sarsaparilla’s wonderful
cure* that I concluded to give it a fair trial.
When I was taking the first bottle I could feel a
change for the better; mv appetite increased aud
my limbs became less sdlf. I lnvo now taken
four bottles and am happy to say I can work as
well as ever I could before. I recommended
Hood's Sarsaparilla
to my cousin, who has received equally good
effects from it. I cannot speak too highly of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Mng. Clara Fikheb,

Real Estate Is Going I p.
The rise is gradual and easy, but certain. It
Is natural that it should go up, because:
In Sizr.
THE CITY IS GROWING b-WzltT™*’
In Importnace.
Increased demand makes real estate advance
The demand increases because real estate has
proven to be the best Investment.
Jt is the best because:
It is the most certain.
It is not subject to fluctuations like other in
vestments.
There are no minority stockholders.
No junior securities.
No rival and parallel lines.
All of These Are Good Investments.
On Harris street near the De Soto a thirty foot
lot with two brick houses in the rear which
rent for twenty dollars per month. This is an
admirable place for a residence or an apart
ment house; has a splendid southern exposure
and can be bad at a bargain. $3,600.
Five 8-story houses and two smaller houses
on a good corner. This is a fine business loca
tion and a very desiraDie investment, as It
yields one thousand and fifty dollars per annum
price $9,000.
Sixteen 8-story houses, all street frontages,
first-class street car facilities and an annual
revenue of twenty-one hundred dollars, price
$13,000.
Three 2-story residences with bay windows
corner Taylor and Montgomery streets, rent for
$720 per annum and can be bought for $5,000,
being fourteen per cent, gross, or will net easily
eleven per cent.
No. 23 York street, near Price, house on front

on the north side (southern front) are $325 each.
Only &25 Cash
And ten dollars per month. Nothing like them
