Personal.
We received a visit yesterday from
Mr. Harry C. King, special agent and
correspondent of Our Fireside Com
panion, of Chicago.
Run Off.
As the inward bound passenger train
of the Central Bailroad, due here at
6 a. m. yesterday, was backing up to
the Union Depot, the front wheels of
the baggage car and the rear truck of
the tender jumped the track on the
curve of Twiggs street. They were
replaced on the track in about an hour
and a half.
New Buildings.
Mr. Win. Painter is erecting a large
two-story :’rame dwelling on Greene
street, below Lincoln, which will con
tain ten roo ms, with cellar, store-room,
dish-room and bath-room —making in
all fourteen rooms. It will be fitted up
with all late improvements.
Mr. J. J. Moore has erected a two
story dwel ing adjoining his former
residence, opposite the Upper Market,
on Broad st reet,
Off for Athens.
Augusta promises to be well repre
sented at the Athens commencement
this year. Quite a number of our fair
belles have already gone and others
will leave to-day and Monday. It is
said that the city of learning will be
unusually gay, as there are no end to
the parties prospectively on hand. We
shall endeavor to keep our readers
posted as to the sayings and doings.
Gone.
The colored juveniles of Augusta
seem to have become possessed with a
desire to launch out in the world upon
their own responsibility.
A little sou of a colored man named
Jones, who has a vegetable stand in
the market, left his home some days
ago and has not been seen by his parent
since. Jones told the Chief of Police
he would like to place the boy in the
United States navy, where he could’nt
get away into the world again until he
was grown.
The young son, about 9 years old,
of a colored hostler up town left his
home about a week .ago, since when he
has not been heard of.
Brother Willingham.
The city editor of this paper, now
absent, is a very particular man about
giving credit, and perhaps too hard on
the petty lareenies of the Press. He
touched up Bro. Willingham, of the
Rome Courier, who thus retorts :
We found the following paragraph in
the Augusta Constitutionalist:
Kt /u. Willingham V The Rome Courier
publishes an extract from Col. Bleckley’s
address on “ Poetry,” and prefaces it with
a few lines leaded and published as edito
rial, which was not written by the editor of
the Courier.
The preface referred to was only six
lines of The Courier; and if we had
thought the Constitutionalist desired
special credit for merely stating the
origin of the extract we should certain
ly have given it, as we are very particu
lar to do so, where the importance of
the matter deserves it, in all cases. As
the “ preface ” required no great men
tal effort to construct it, and was
merely common place in its whole
scope, it was hardly necessary, we
thought, to be so particular in so small
a matter. When our confrere makes a
fine editorial effort, and wo copy it, we
shall certainly give full credit. The
Constitutionalist is too big a paper to
be so exacting in small tilings.
Since writing the foregoing we find
the following in a later number of the
Constitutionalist:
With his usual late noticeable accuracy,
Willingham, of the Borne Courier, makes
Gen. Gordon address his recent letter to the
(Jbnstituiion.
We clipped that article from another
paper, and it was so credited, and we
failed to notice it. Be hanged if the
Constitutionalist oughtn’t to have all of
its articles copyrighted!
The editor-in-chief is not sensitive
on the point suggested by Bro. Wil
lingham ; but his “ flavieomous ” asso
ciate is a man of square and compass.
When he returns to this office he will
no doubt satisfy Bro. Willingham of
jiis honorable intentions.

COTTON IN AUGUSTA, RECEIPTS
STOCK, ETC.
The Business of the Week.
The cotton market during the week
closing yesterday was steady with a
more general demand than has pre
vailed for some time and slightly
better prices ruling for certain grades
than last week. The demand for low
middling was much better than for
middling, which explains the cause of a
fluctuation in the price of the latter,
while the former remained steady at
nominally % higher than last week.
Sales have been made at different prices
though, above and below quotations.
A considerable amount of the cotton
sold (luring the week was for home
consumption, but there were many sales
for speculation.
Buyers now in the market generally
appear to feel confident that prices
have reached their lowest limit and
any disaster to the growing crop, how
ever slight, will cause an upward turn.
A number of them are therefore ap
parently buying under that impression.
Sellers also seem to be of the same
opinion and do not offer enough to
meet the demand for good styles.—
There has been some inquiry for clean
stains, but prices were irregular and
not quotable.
The opening quotations of the week
were: Low middling, 15%, and mid
dling, 15%. The latter grade on Tues
day and Wednesday was quoted 15%,
but at the close yesterday prices were
the same as those ruling the first of
the week, with a quiet market. A
number of reports of the appearance of
worms in different sections have been
received, but as yet no damage seems
to have been done by them.
The sales and receipts of each day of
the week, with the quotations, are
given in detail in our general (local) mar
ket review this morning. The follow
ing is a comparative statement, com
piled from the weekly review:
The receipts for the week in Augusta
were 188 bales, a decrease from
the same week last year of 682 bales.
The sales of the week were 679 bales,
being 21 bales less than were sold
the same week last year, when the quo
tations were 18@,18%.
The receipts of the present season to
date are 198,729, an increase over last
season to the same time of 20,104 bales.
By comparison of shipments and home
consumption of the season 193,001 bales,
with the total receipts of the season
to date (and stock on hand September
Ist,) 199,941 bales, we find the stock
on hand to be 6,940 bales. At the same
time last year the stock on hand was
2,328 bales. The receipts of last sea
son to this date were 35,223 bales more
than for the same time the previous
season. The shipments of the week
were 732 bales, and for the same
week last year, 948 bales.
A Fire.
The roof of a shed room attached to
a small house in Market alley, opposite
the Lower Market, caught fire yester
day about 12:30 o’clock from sparks
from the chimney, but by the prompt
action of the inmates and some of the
neighbors it was soon extinguished.
The house was occupied by Margaret
Sloan, a colored washer and ironer,
who had a fire in the fire-place of the
shed room, by which she was heating
her smoothing irons. Upon going to a
cupboard to obtain something for din
ner she felt coals of fire dropping on
her head and neck, and looking up dis
covered the roof on fire.
The alarm was immediately given,
and, by the aid of several men, water
was obtained in buckets and thrown on
the roof. The liose of Gazelle, No. 4,
was promptly run through the alley
and water let on, but the blaze had
been entirely put out before the stream
reached it.
The building and premises are the
property of Mr. Frederick Lotz, who
has a store on the corner of the alley.
The roof was but slightly damaged.
Under less favorable eircumstances
there would have been a large confla
gration, as there is a large number of
small wooden houses and shanties in
this alley, which are almost as dry as
tinder, and with a brisk w T ind they
would all have been swept away in a
very short time, especially if the fire
had occurred at night.
As the “ Georgia ” steamer was go
ing at a rapid rate down Broad street,
the grate in the furnace was dislocated
and fell out. A portion of it was brok
en, rendering it necessary to put in a
new one. A spoke in one of the wheels
was also broken and will have to be re
placed. The hose carriage of the Geor
gia, in returning from the fire, came in
collision with a sewing machine wagon,
but fortunately, no damage was done.
A Father Obtains Possession of His
Child.
Charles Eve, colored, having sued
out a writ of habeas corpus to obtain
possession of his child, Amelia, 6 years
old, who was held by the mother,
Laura Eve, th 6 case was heard by
Judge Levy, Ordinary, yesterday
morning. After hearing the evidence
Judge Levy awarded the custody of
the child to his father, Charles Eve,
as the facts elicited from witnesses
showed the woman to be of bad and
immoral character, and not a fit per
son to have charge of a child.
W. W. Smythe, Esq., represented the
plaintiff. The defendant was present,
but had no counsel.'
Curing versus Cobbling.
There are many medicines that give
transient relief :n sickness without
touching the source and seat of the
complaint. Hos Letter’s Stomach Bit
ters is not one of these. The great
tonic and restorative does not cobble
the diseased and enfeebled system. It
is not a mere palliative, that only tem
porarily controls a few unpleasant
symptoms. No ; its invigorating, reg
ulating, restorative principle penetrates
to the very source of the difficulty iu
the fluids and solids of the body, and
hence its cures are radical and thor
ough. In dyspepsia it strengthens the
stomach, in liver complaint it regulates
the flow of bile, in constipation it pro
motes a punctual habit of body, in ner
vous ailments it tones the sentients
and motive fibres, in rheumatism it
counteracts pain, and in cases of gen
eral debility rehabilitates the emaciated
frame. jy3o-thsatu&c
Caterpillar.
According to the Macon correspon
dence of the Chronicle and Sentinel,
caterpillars exist, only in irnigination,
within the sphere of Jean Valjean’s
observation.
The Albany News states that a party
of reliable gentlemen rode nearly 40
miles and through about twenty large
plantations. The News says :
Their examination was close, and
being intensified by direct personal in
terest, their report may be regarded as
authority of the highest character, and
altogether reliable at this writing.
They have kindly furnished us the
following.
report.
Ist. The crops are generally good,
remarkably clean and in good condi
tion. While some fields are well fruit
ed with bottom crop, others are defi
cient in bottom crops, and cannot now
recover that deficit.
2d. Nearly all plantations have ca
terpillar, or caterpillar flies in small
quantities.
3d. That the flies and first crop of
caterpillar, being so few in numbers,
pan be destroyed, or retarded in their
progress so that they will do but little
damage.
The Columbus Enquirer has the fol
lowing on the great worm question :
People must have something to talk
about, and dull times, caterpillars and
cotton crops are the prevailing themes.
A rather amusing incident occurred on
one of the corners a day or two ago. A
party was speaking of the destruction
on two or more plantations below here.
According to his story the cotton stalks
on these places \\ ere literally covered
with the destructive worms which were
consuming both leaves, bolls, &c. The
bulls around felt happy. A manager on
one of the plantations happened to be
on the outside of the hearers. All he
had to say Was that he had left one of
the places that morning, and there
were no caterpillars when he left. The
merchants breathed easier.
A few days ago, a cotton loaf con
taining several worms threw a number
of persons in this city into excitement.
This leaf was said to have been plucked
from the Kirkpatrick place, just out
side the corporate limits. It was an
nounced in the paper that these worms
were “ spreading fast.” We now learn
from a gentleman of undoubted veraci
ty that Mr. Bascom Capers, who runs
the Kirkpatrick plantation, declares
that no caterpillars are on his place,
and we further understand that, after
diligent search by two of our well
known cotton brokers, not even the
ghost of a caterpillar could be found.
This is the report as it was told to us.

Free Lance Items.
An old lame horse that has been
grazing for some time on the river
bank, up town, was sent to the bone
yard yesterday.
Gold has declined considerably in
the past few days. Brokers are now
buying at 108 and selling at 110. Sil
ver is buying at 102@103 ; selling at
106.
There were increased sales of cotton
in our market yesterday, amounting to
174 bales, with unchanged prices, low
middling being 15 % and middling, 15%.
The receipts were only 20 bales.
In a game of base ball, yesterday, at
the Parade Ground, between the Lees
and Young Marions, the former were
victorious by a score of 29 to 16. John
Tarver was scorer and A. Stulb, umpire.
The Democrats of Chatham have
opened the Fall campaign with en
thusiasm. Gen. A. R. Lawton has
been elected Chairman of tlxo Executive
Committee.
The caterpillar is reported to have
appeared in Barbour and Henry coun
ties, Alabama, and it is thought they
will destroy the cotton by the 30th of
August. There are similar reports
from Dale county.
The number of watermelons shipped
by the South Carolina Railroad to Au
gust 9, 1873, as stated by us yesterday
should have been 75,712 instead of 15,-
712.
The Mutual and National base ball
clubs, composed of colored boys, will
play a match game at the Parade
Ground Monday afternoon, at half-past
three o’clock.
It is said that yesterday, when Big
Steve was first rung for the fire, the
man in the tower stepped to the rail
ing and cried “ Fire,” then rang the
bell again. Finding that no one no
ticed the ringing of the bell, he again
cried “ Fire,” probably under the im
pression that if the bell was not heard
he could arouse the people by his voice.
