office will be made a depository for a largo
number of postofficei in the surrounding towns
and villages in the state. Heretofore ail the
country postofflcMs made their remittances to

Eastman Times-Journal: A. J. Medlin, Jr.,
is responsible fur the following, which he says
can be verified by any who will take the
trouble to go to the place and see: In Clarke
county on Tuck's plantation about two years
ago a negro man was murdered in the gin
house. It seems that while trying to evade the
assassin*, after being severely wounded, f hat
blood flowed freely on the flooring ns he tnov and
about the house. That now, each place where
the blood was left a thiok growth f hair or
wool resembling that of the genuine negro
grows profusely. He says the growth of the
hair varies from two to six inches. It is said
that this place now has a peculiar fascination
for all the hogs in the neighborhood.
I gist Sunday night a difficulty occurred on C.
G. Brooks' plantation iu Morgan oounty be
tween John Evans and Sul Allen, both colored,
in which the latter lost his life. It seems that
Evans had been paying marked attention to
Allen's wife, to which Allen objected. On the
night mentioned Allen, on going to his home,
found the door shut and fastened, whioh aroused
his suspicious. Failing to gain admittance
l>eaccably, he broke the door down and found
that Evans was there with his wife, as he sue
pec ted. He rushed in and seized Evans, who
was then crouching behind the door, whereupon
Evans drqw a pistol and shot Alleu in the abdo
men, inflicting a mortal wound, from which he
died the next night. The murderer made his
escape.
A plan for the division of the profits of the
liquor dispensary at Athens for the year past
between the city and county has been agreed
upon Mayor Tuck and Ordinary Herrington
met Monday afternoon and discussed several
plans of division, finally agreeing that the most
equitable plau would be to divide the profits ac
cording to the ratio between the valuation of
property in the city limits to that outside the
city limits. The tax books were consulted and
this ratio obtain© i, alter wMch it was applied
to the profits exclusive of the stock, 'i he profits,
exclusive of the stock on hand amounted to
$'.|,580 53. Of this amount the city gets $7,500 98
and the county $1,773 50. It is probable that
the county's proportion of tho money will be
used in the construction and repairing of public
schooi buildings in Clarke county,
M. L, Fontane of Augusta has been awarded
a verdict of SIO,OOO in the supreme court of
Massachusetts. Mr. Fontane is a marble cutter.
Some years ago Mr. Fontane was badly hurt in
an aeoident in a building in the course of con
struction in Boston. He was heavily insured in
an accident insurance company, but his claim
was protested. Legal complications resulted.
The insurance company sought to throw blame
on the owners and contractors of the building,
and alleged neglect of proper care against acci
dent on the part of the plaintiff. The cause
went from tho lower tribunals to the court of
last resort and came up for its final hearing last
week iu Boston The decision by Chief Justice
George Wells, who presided, was in favor of the
plaintiff and awards Mr. Fontane the full sum
sued for SIO,OOO. Mr. Fontane suffers very lit
tle discomfort from the hurts received at the
time.
Dublin Post: On the road leading to the old
Stanley place, last Thursday, as a funeral pro
cession reached the hill just this side of Horace
Knight's, an accident, occurred that will doubt
less terminate seriously, and may prove fatal.
Rev. C. W. Minor of Macon and Mrs. I>r. Rob
inson and an adopted child, a little girl of 5 or 6
summers, of Buckeye, occupied oue of the long
line of buggies going down the hill. When
partly down the horse began to run and kick.
On both sices of the road is a ditch
and into one of these the horse and
buggy landed, throwing Mr. Minor and the
child out of the vehicle, which ran over the
child’s head For some time there was nol a
sound from the child and it was feared then
that she was killed outright; but the fears were
soon relieved by her cries of pain. We have
learned within the past day or two that the
child Is in a very critical condition and that the
injuries sustained may yet prove fatal. Mr.
Minor received some slight external injuries by
his fall. h.<s first landing being on one of the
buggy wheels.
Athens Banner: Miss Ida Young is again at
home, having returned from Atlanta last
on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern train.
And the seeming mystery of her trip is made
perfectly clear. The surmises of several here
arc proved to be without foundation, and the
whole matter is explained in the simple fact
that Miss Young went to Atlanta to see a special
lady friend. Wednesday she received a tele
gram from a close friend to come to Atlanta
and attend an opera and stay a day or so with
Miss Cora Lou Thomas, a young lady to whom
sho was very much devoted At first she thought
she would not go. and said nothing to her mother
about it. However, late in the afternoon, while
uptown, she decided to go, and not having time
to go by home, she wrote her mother tho note
published in yesterday's Banner, and went to
Atlanta on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
train, not thinking that anything like a false
construction could be placed upoa her action.
Bhe returned last night to her home in t his city,
and was much mortified that her thoughtless
action should have gotten in print.

New York,] .March 25.—Tho stock market
opened active and buoyant under a brisk de
mand to cover slioris and considerable buying
for long account. Prices went up %to 3 per
cent, with a rush, Consolidated Gas, General
Electric, United States Itubber and National
Lead leading the upward movement. When
the bears attempted to cover in General Elecirio
they found a marked scarcity of the stock, and
brokers who have been lending it freely to the
shorts say that very little stock lias been re
turned as yet Nationol Lead was
bigoer on the statement of the officials of
ths Company that, best lei having $1,000,000
to the ere lit of the dividend fund, it has nearly
$e,000,609 in working capital. Among the other
industries American cotton Oil moved I@2 per
cent, on reports of heavy earnings, Giaugers
and New Eng.and were also buoyant, and sold
at the best fl ures of the week The sharp rise
naturally induced the taking of profits, and a
reaction of ‘ 4 ®l per cent, ensued, but Iwfore
the downward movement gained much head
way the bunk statement made Its appearanoe,
and was so entirely satisfactory to tbe street
that tho hulls made another upward turn, this
time selecting National Cordage as the leader.
The stock sold up from 61% to 63% on largely in
creased business, and brokers identified
within others were the principal buyers.
Dealings aggregated 170,300 shares, a fair
amount for .Saturday’s short session. There is
less apprehensiveness than ot lute in regard to
the money market over tbe April settlements
and tho Increase in the bank leserves will be
very a.t to make lenders accept lower rates on
time during tho eoming week. To this Is
mainly du® the change in the temper of specu
lation. The market closed firm iu tone at a re
action of to % per cent from top figures.

New York, March £5 —The Nun's cotton re
view says: “A moderate decline on rather
small transactions is the story of the day. Liv
erpool Is again anything but encouraging to the
friends of cotton. It was apparently more in
different to the settlement of the great strike
than it was yesterday, a faot which, in the esti
mation of not a few, gives additional color to
the theory that the spinners have provided for
their wants by purchase of futures, and do not
need to buy much spot cotton at tne present
time. Meanwhile the stock in Liverpool is
very large. The supply of American
there iB only 70,000 baleß smaller
than a year ago In a season when the cr p was
unprscedently larger Buying here to day was
mainly by shorts. Liverpool sent some buying
orders. It Is the opinion of many here that for
eign advices will sway the New York quotations
for some time to come. The market declined 5
to 7 points, closing steady, with sales of 103,-
600 bales. Liverpool declined 1 to 1% points and
closed barely steady with spot sales of 4,000
bales. New Orleans declined 7 to 8 points.
Spot cotton here was very quiet, but with no
quotable change; middling uplands 8 1516 c,;
