Lumpkin Independent: On Thursday of
last week. June I two negro boys were plow
ing in the farm of Rufus Allen, neur Union,
In this county. It was toward the middle of
the evening when a cloud came up and begun
to rain. It was accompanied with
frequent lightning and loud thunder.
The boys took refuge under a peach
tree near an old garden spot and took with
tkem the animals they were plowing, a horse
and a mule. While under the tree a holt of
lightning came down through it and instantly
killed the two uoys mid the two animals.
They were not found until the next morning.
The boys were aged about I I and 16 years.
Thursday. June I. a'severe wind, rain and
hail storm struck about ten miles west of
Waynesboro, covering in area a large part of
the Seventieth district and a small part of the
Seventy lirst district, tin the Hidgely place,
Perry place, Applewhite place. John A.
Green's place, J. n. Ivy's place, much cotton
and corn was washed up and damaged by the
rain and hail. On the jiart of the Ridgely
place rented by Mr. liatneld several acres of
Ills crop was destroyed and a gully a foot or
so wide and as deep washed across a 7 acre
held. Mr. Neely's Wyatt place was a heavy
loser. Here a house was blown down and
Mr. Neely's tobacco crop seriously Injured by
the hail. He estimates his loss tit ffiUOor *6,*j.
Some timber was destroyed, and the total loss
will he considerable.
Statesboro Star: Some of our third party
friends are threatening if the democrats
should disturb their speaker. Mr. Watson,
while making his speech here on July 11. that
they will be prepared with arms, and will
Bhoot him down on the spot. If this is the
fooling of the third party in this county
toward their democratic neighbors, thing's
are certainly in bad shape In this county.
Wh.v they expect the democrats to try and
howl down Mr. Watson is a puzzle tons,
unless they expect the democrats to retaliate
for the disgraceful way they treated Mr. Her
rington last fall while trying to delivers
peaceable address at thts place. Hut we do
not believe there is a single democrat in the
county who would be guilty of such conduct
as that practiced by the third party in many
instances during the last campaign.
Atlanta Herald: The bicycle craze reached
a climax when it was proposed to put the
mounted officers of the police force on wheels
sell the horses now used by this branch of the
department, leave the stubs in the stubles
vacant and stop buying hay and oats. The
proposition has been made to the hoard of
police commissioners, and the mounted officers
are now in fear and trembling, expecting to
be separated from their noble steeds and
mounted on wheels of steel and rubber. Just
who made the proposition eannot be learned,
but it has crept into lhe bom-d and some action
wdl be*taken. The mounted men. among
other things have frequently to ehase w ild
and untamed cows over tlelds and ditches
and drive them to the police station. A squad
of men. on bicycles, would present an amusing
spectacle engaged In this Gass of work, and
would certainly furnish amusement for the
commissioners.
Camilla Clarion: Mrs. D. H. Collier, an in
offensive white woman, who lives near the
Mitchell county line in Colquitt county, is
considerably wrought up over the receipt of
two anonymous letters from white eaps. One
letter was received on r i liursdav of last week
and one on Friday. In these tetters five days
was given the Mrs. Collier to leave the county,
orsufler the consequences. Mrs. Collier is the
W'ife of 1). H. Collier, who. It will be remem
bered, was on trial in the county court a
short time ago for adultery and wife de
sertion. It being claimed tho Mr.
Collier had deserted her and was living with
Rill Wilson, a young white girl. In Justice to
Collier, however, we will sav that the jury
found him not guilty and he was discharged.
At the same time Hill Wilson was found
guilty of carrying concealed weapons and
lined 825. 1 hese letters ure supposed to have
originated from this row. We are told that
Mrs. Collier is a hard-working woman w ith
several c hildren to support and that the let
ters have worried her considerably, as she
does not know what to expect.
ThiHnasville rimcs-Enterprlae: The mem
bers of the local branch of the Iron Hall are
getting anxious to know whut will become of
the funds ami the organization of the Iron
Hall. Thursday they wore hopeful that every
thing would come out all right, atul a meet
ing was held on T hursday night to reorganize
the branch Ollier. About twenty three of the
old mamhers met injustice Martins office
and elected officers, with the purpose in view
or co-operating w ith the new supreme lodge
which has recently been organized in Indian
apolis with Nelsen F. Libby as supreme
justice, for the purpose of putting the order
in running shape again Tho propositions
and explanations offered by the supreme
sitting seemed to be feasible and plausible.
And the focal menu ers felt very much euoour
aged, so much so that they determined to or
ganize and join the new concern. T hey
elected officers and went home feeling as if
the "grand old order" was all O. K again.
Hut their hopes were shattered Friday morn
ing. when Accountant Martin exhibited an
other circular which he laid just received.
Ibis circular was from Somerbv. supreme
justice, of the old order, and stated that he had
been idiosen supreme justice of the new or
der. which v.as to continue the business, nnd
advised ail the old members to send their
.dues to him. This put anew phase on tho
situation. It seems that there are two su
preme sittings, one in Indianapolis and one In
Philadelphia each one having Us own offi
cers and claiming to have the necessary
authority to continue the affairs of the old
brder. Asa matter of course the local mem
bers will not join either of the orders, but
will lie low aud await developments, in the
meantime keeping their, money in their
pockets.

the question whether they are intoxicating.
The law fixed no boundary as to when a thing
was an intoxicant and when it was not. It is
understood that the board of control will fix
the limit, and anything containing more than
2‘i per cent, of alcohol will be classed as an
Intoxicant nnd not permissible. The dis

A special from Yemabsee dated June 7 says:
"If one were to j ulge from the number of ex
cursion trains that passed this point on
Decoration day with the crowds that thronged
them—for they were literally packed Inside
aud outside—the railroads must certainly
have reaped a harvest. Not having seen any
mention of an accident that occurred on the
return trip of one of the excursion trains that
left Beaufort about II o'clock on the night of
May 30 1 will state all that is known of it here.
Early on tho morning of May 31 a colored man
living near Tomotley Station, about four
tnlles from Yemussee. upon going to his work
came upon the body of a dead negro man ly
ing near the side of the track. He was a com
paratively young man. and. from his dress
ami general appearance, evidently one of the
excursionists, 't here was a wound of some
kind in his head, but whether he was shot and
then pushed from lhe platform, or whether he
fell accidentally and received the injury from
the fall, no one can tell. 1 was told by a party
living near the line of road that pistols were
being tired off continuously from the tralu.
and that it was unsafe for any one to show
themselves in view of the train, 'lhe man 1
was a stranger in this neighborhood and was
never identified. An inquest was held over
Ida. and he was buried on lhe Jericho planta
tion near the spot where the body w as found."
It is whispered about that the dispensary
commissioners will have full authority for
appointing county dispensers for ( harleston,
even though the majority of freehold voters

HOW BIRDS DECIVE.
Q reat Ingenuity Used In Protecting
Their Young.
From London Tld Bits.
Birds building on high trees are not so
xvar.v about the concealment oi their
nests as hedge builders and those that
seek the springing corn or grass land for
tho shelter of their homes, trusting to
the loftiness of the situation for se
curity.
A nest placed iqwn the ground is in con
stant danger of. exposure; a browsing
animal might destroy it: then the scythe
with one sweep occasionally lays bare one
or more nests, thereby endangering the
eggs or callow nestlings. This renders
the parent birds very wary, and causes
them to practice great ingenuity in their
efforts to protect the young birds.
The skylark has been known to carry
its eggs or offspring to a place of safety
after an exposure of the nest, and it has
been said its long hind claw—the use of
which has puzzled many naturalists —is
specially adapted by nature for more
easily grasping and transporting its treas
ures from the soucro of danger.
When the young birds are too bulky to
be thus removed the parent carries them,
on its back, though this mode of removal
is a somewhat difficult one.
Nesting upon tho ground the partridge is
likewise liable to be disturbed. A bird of
this speeees was once startled by a plow
passing within a yard or so of its nest.
Destruction was almost a certainty, as
the plow must pass entirely over it the
next round, and the laborer wondered how
tho partridge would act.
The time necessary for going round tho
field was aliout twenty minutes yet in
that almost incredible period the parent
birds had effected the removal of some
twenty-one eggs to a safe spot.
Careful search led to the discovery of
the bird calmly seated upon her treasures
In the bottom of the hedge, out of reach
of the plow. Nineteen partridge chicks
were eventually hatched and duly escaped
unmolested.
Some birds will forsake their nests if so
much as a finger is placed within, but
others, suspicious that their secret has
been discovered, they seek to hide them
more efficaciously by admirably ingenious
plans.
Among the thick fern growth of a bank
a wood warbler hud woven a nest. Tho
bird had evidently selected this bank be
cause of the quantity of dead leaves scat
tered and heaped thoreqn. the tawny
crispness of these corresponding nicely
with tho domed edifice, thereby rendering
discovery almost impossible.
But the fine quality of the ferns led to
its detection. Tugging at the frail fronds,
a kfhdly disjiosed lady scared the setting
warbler, which flew, with plaintive call,
to an adjacent bough, and there exhibited
signs of great distress. The lover of nat
ure could not resist a peep at the cozy
home, which at a glance appeared like a
shapeless mass of dead leaves and
grasses.
Some few days after walking through
the same wood, she was again tempted to
pay the little wood-bird a visit. Puzzled
and surprised, she could not find its
whereabouts, but a few minutes’ search
revealed an alteration from the original
mode. The cunning bird had blocked up
the old entrance and covered that side of
the nest with dead leaves, breaking a
doorway through on the opposite side.
Tho magpie is nothing if not ingenious.
He always barricades his bulky nest with
thorn branchos, so to plunder it is
by no means an easy matter: but when
circumstances oblige the “pte” to build
in a low hush or hedge—an absence of
lofty trees ueiujf a marked feature of Some
northern localities —he not only inter
laces his home, but also the entire bush
in a most formidable manner.
Nor does he stop here. To "make assur
ance doubly sure,” he fashions a means
of exit as well as entrance to his castle,
so that, if disturbed, he can slip out by
ills back door, us it were.
A tree sparrow on one occasion built its
nest in a tall elm, just beneath the more
bulky erection of a crow. Not only did
the large nest screen the smaller, but it
afforded a menus of protection from tho va
garies of the weather. Some time after
the crow's nest was plundered of its con
tents, while that of the tree sparrow es
caped untouched.
A greenfinch once built its nost inside
the deserted homo of a missel-thrust.
This deserted nest was well known to tho
birdnesting boy as forsaken, it being sev
eral seasons old nnd much battered by the
storms of past winters: so none ventured
to climb the tree after it. Tho enterpris
ing finches succeeded in bringing off a
brood of five successfully, and this iu
spite of tho fact that the tree was
almost in the village street, and stood
quite alone. As if aware of its publicity,
the old birds were very cautious in their
journeys to and from the nest, and did
not display the marked restlessness of
parent birds in general— otherwise their
secret must have been betrayed.
The young birds practice deception for
their ultimate safety, especially those cf
tho partridge and lapwing species. At a
given signal front the parent they squat
close to the ground, hoping by such means
to+eacape tho eye of the intruder: in such
cases their coloring assists them, tho
feathers of the helpless fledglings par
taking of the hues of their general sur
roundings.
Nestlings taken by surprise feign
holplesssness, aud encourage the notion
that they have not yet jwwer to use their
wings. But no sooner is the means of es
cape evident than away they flutter,
awkwardly, is is true, but sufficiently
well to accomplish their purpose.
