Bainbridge Democrat: Many are the
deeds of heroism recorded of our brave
Southern boys now encamped in the ene
my? country. True nobility and bravery
an not only found in the thick of the
hyb.t, at the belching cartnon’s mouth!
•'s not only in the sacrifices for one's
country’s cause, but in unselfish sacrifices,
for their comrades on the camping
grounds, and in the hospital. It is grati
fying to read in a letter recently received
from Col. Ray's Regiment, now station
'd at Guanta ip.mo, Cuba, of our friend
and townsman, George Griffiths, who was
'oc first to volunteer in nursing the sick
and suffering yellow fever patients of
'out regiment durfng the late epidemic.
HH comrades show proper appreciation ot
this worthy act when they speak of him
as the “Hero of the Regiment,” who, plac
ing his trust in God, risked his life for
others. His frends and loved ones at home
vill be glad to welcome George back to
his home when his services are no longer
required, in the enemy’s country.

Dr. Horace Lindsley, while hunting
quail in (he woods near St. Augustine,
with his dogs recently, had a narrow es
cape from a rattlesnake bite. He had
been working a covey of quail with his

denly and without warning he came upon
an immense rattlesnake. When the hun
ter got within five feet, the reptile coiled
ready for a spring. Dr. Lindsley discov
ered his danger just in time, and quickly
stepped back several paces, after which
he let the snake have a full charge o f
shot, which tore it to pieces.

finished their labors on Friday evening at
Fernandina, completing the Noveqaber
term of the Circuit Court for Nassau
county. - Several criminal cases were tried
of minor importance. The most important
case of the term was that of Thomas
Felid, a negro, who was charged with
criminally assaulting a colored woman.
He was found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. Judge Call and
Mr. Hartridge will go to St. Augustine
to-morrow to hold the fall term of court

The steamer Eulalia, which left Fa
latka last week for Crescent City, on the
steamer Crescent’s run, came in collision
with a lighter at Piney Bluff, and was bad
ly damaged on the starboard side about 20
feet from the stern and running aft, crush
ing in her house and breaking her guards.
No blame can be attached to Capt. Hinson,
who was on duty at the time of the col
lision, as the night was very dark, and the
steamer was coming around a bend in
the creek when she hit the lighter that
had been ieft without lights, and only one
end tied to the dock, so that the change
in the tide caused it to drift across *he
creek. Capt. Hinson finished hia trip to
Crescent City, and took the Euialta to Pa
latka, where she will be repaired.

SAVANNAH. GA.. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 189a
Harrison of the County Court would like
very much to know what the citizens of
Florida voted for at the election last Tues
day. Yesterday when making the canvass
of the returns of the county he had occas
ion to look at the constitution regarding
some of the amendments of the constitu
tion. It was then that he discovered lhat
a large vote had been cast in Hillsboro as
well as in ail olher counties for und
against a repeal to a section of the state
constitution that does not exist. In'short,
the vote to the proposed amendment of
article 3, section 34, was Just that much
waste, for the section mentioned was not
in the book. .The article was there, but it
had only thirty-three sections, and the
vote was evidently cast for nothing. He
is at a loss to know why this occurred, as
it was an error that covers the entire state,
and he says that it Is something remark
able that there was not orfe man in iite
entire state that thought enough of the
constitution to discover that an amend
ment had been proposed to a part of it
that did not exist. The vote on the
amendments, as they were printed on the
state tickets was as follows in Hills
boro county; Amendment to article 5, sec
tion 35, for. 1,358; against, 27. Amendment
to article 16, section 13. for. 1,358; against,
33. Amendment to article 3, section 34, for
1,001; against, 73.

a gain of 6 to 9 points. Throughout the
session the feeling among bull* was more
confident than in some week*, and not a
little cotton was purchased on the theory
that the lowest point for the season had
been reached and passed. Among the In
fluences aiding bull efTorts, were smaller
receipts than expected, a firm set of cables
and a report that higher prices were being
demanded throughout the South for spot
cotton. On this news price* advanced 1
