THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, May 11, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
A letter from St. Louis, Mo., con
veys the sad iutelligence that Rev.
Homer Hendee, a Presbyterian Minis
ter well known in Middle Georgia, is
still iu a very critical condition. —
Should he survive it is feared that his
mind will be a wreck.
We learn from the Greensboro
Herald that Mercer High School, at
Pennfield, has seventy-five students.
Also that land in that county averaged
seven dollars per acre, at Sheriff’s sale
last Tuesday.
The Oglethorpe Echo says that a
young man of that county, who has
been keeping books in a large Atlanta
house, having been thrown out of em
ployment by hard times, came home,
pulled off his coat, and struck a posi
tion between two plow handles.
The Opelika Times thinks that if the
Federal Government had retained in
its service Capt. Maury, the originator
of storm signals, the people would
have been forewarned of the late de
structive cyclones in Georgia and Ala
bama, and some lives would have been
saved. But Maury was not acceptable
because he was a “rebel.”
Griffin News: There is something aw
ful amt terrific in the occurrence of only
one such storm as those which have
swept- through Middle Georgia this
Spring. But when three or four follow
each other in quick succession, as they
have done within the last six weeks,
and devastate portions of the same di
rection, and having nearly the same lo
calities of origin and terminus —wonder
and curiosity must mingle with our
awe. We recognize some extraordinary
condition of the natural elements, and
long to know the cause. It is a most
important subject for scientific inquiry,
and it is much to be hoped that the in
vestigation to which it must surely
lead will result in a bettor understand
ing of these fearful phenomena of na
ture.
Sunday Savannah Advertiser : The
Southern Association of Fire Under
writers, of which our esteemed fellow
citizen, Maj. Livingston Mills, is Presi
dent, meets in this city on Wednesday
next, 12th iust., at the Screven House.
The delegates are composed largely of
representatives of Southern insurance
companies. * * The new Cotton Ex
change will receive its finishing touches
by Wednesday. The blackboards have
been repainted and the carpentering
almost done. It will be the handsom
est Cotton Exchange in the South. *
* Betting on the boat races is already
being indulged in, and from the odds
offered on the Charleston boys, it would
seem as if the confidence in the Savan
nah boats was not very strong. Let
ters have been received from Charles
ton, and they say three to one is offer
ed on the Charleston boats, which aie
not eagerly taken up.
A thrilling incident occurred recently
at the copper mines near Villa Rica. —
Several miners were engaged in clear
ing out a deep shaft by blasting. One
of the men had placed a lighted time
fuse in the blast hole, and was being
drawn out of the shaft by a windlass,
when the running gear suddenly got
out of order and refused to perform its
office. There the man was suspended
for several terrible moments. His life
hung upon a thread, and another
minute’s delay would have ended his
existence; but, with great presence of
mind, he leaped to the bottom of the
shaft, a distance of twenty feet, snatch
ed the burning fuse from its position,
and thus escaped a catastrophe. He
had been literally within one minute of
death.— Carrollton Times.
Griffin News: On yesterday several
citizens of Pike county, Messsrs. W. T.
Barker, T. J. Pilkerton, J. J. Foster,
Joshua Hamlet, and a colored man by
the name of Preston Scroggins, were
summoned to appear in Griffin before
United States Commissioner T. W.
Thurman. When they arrived they
were arrested. Mr. Barker was required
to give boud to appear before the Dis
trict Court at the next term in Atlanta
and the other three white men
gave bond to appear at the United
States Court in Savannah. Pres
ton Scroggins, the colored man,
•vas put in jail, but was taken
out iu the afternoon aud had a prelimi
nary trial before T. W. Thurman, de
fended by Messrs. Hunt & Johnson.
After hearing the testimony and argu
ment of counsel, the defendant was
discharged. It was a cute trick in the
United States Marshal to summon the
parties to come to town as if they were
to appear there as witnesses, and ar
rest them afterwards. The defendants
are all defended by Hunt & Johnson.
The parties all live in Pike county, but
the offence is charged to have been
committed in Upson, except the charge
against Mr. Baker, which is charged to
jhave been committed"in Pike county.
GEORGIA CROP NEWS
The Democrat says the
“buffalo gnat” has appeared in that
county in large numbers aud are very
annoying to stock, though no deaths
are yet reported.
Corn is selling at §1.30 and §1.35 per
bushel at Hawkinaville. On time till
November Ist, §1.75 to §2. And yet
gome folks wonder why it is Georgia
farmers are gettiug poorer every year.
From the Hawkinaville Dispatch:
From the Ist of November last to May
Ist, 880 tons of guanuo valued at
§48.480 passed through the depot at
that place. From September to May
Ist, there were shipped by rail from
Hawkiusville to Macon and Savannah
lo 500 bales of cotton, of which Macon
received only 203 bales, showing a
great faffing off iu the shipments to the
latter place.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: A Gwin
nett county fanner has one thousaud
bushels of corn for sale, and he can
get $1 per bushel for it at home or
*l.lO in Atlanta. This corn did not
cost him more than 25 cents per bushel
to raise it. Had he raised cotton in
stead it would probably have cost him
12 cents per pound to produce it, and
he could now sell it at 15 cents in At
lanta. We mean that it would have
cost him 12 cents if he had bought his
corn hay and bacoD, as many of our
planters do ; but with corn and bacon
of his own raising he can make money
on cotton at 9 or 10 cents per pound.
Are not our figures correct?
Killed by a Bursted Bure-Stone. —
A messenger arrived in this place last
Saturday evening bringing the news of
a terrible accident which occurred at
the steam mill of Martin & Hackwortb,
in Jackson county, A!a., some fifteen
miles from this place, by the bursting
of one of the burr-stones in their mill
th at day, wbiie it T as being run at
verv Breat8 reat sP ee a- J e HT Martin, for
merly of this place, and pf the
proprietors of the mill was wounded
so badly that died shortly after the
accident, and that some seven other
men were wounded, Pome seriously.
Among the wounded was Mr. Hack
worth, one of the proprietors of the
mill—Jasper (Term.) Herald, May 6.

for keeping open Sunday's, claim to
open now “just to feed the canaries.
Those canaries are five feet odd incihes
high and mostly take whiskey.— Boston

Despair.
BY ETTA W. PIERCE.
She leaned—her wild heart beating loud
and fast—
Into the breaking day,
And from her window, where the poplar
cast •
Its tangled shadow, watched him, as he
pass’d
With careless step along the orchard way
Her sad gaze followed through the misty
morn—
rr “ Ah > turn—turn once,” she sighed.
He crossed the stile and vanished in the
corn;
The sua grew dark, the merry day forlorn.
And all her heart within her failed ami
died.
Loud drummed the locusts from the fur
rows dry.
And in the strong, hot noon
She looked again, and saw him drawing
nigh,
Breast deep amid the swarthy waves of rye,
Lilting the measure of au old love-tune.
And thon she whispered in her weary pain—
“ Would God his cruel eyes
Would turn one moment to my window!”—
Vain!
He kept his way, unheeding, through the
grain,
And all the air grew heavy with her sighs.
Day dwindled, and the night fell, dark and
chill,
Upon the upland corn.
The herd-bov called his dun herds from the
hill.
The noisy wheel grew silent at the mill,
And in the West the young moon hung
her horn.
And stilt she watched, and still her starved
hope stirred,
As, in the dusty street,
Winding away to meet the town she heard,
Sweeter to love’s lorn year than song of
bird,
The clatter of his horse-hoofs, fierce and
fleet.
As he rode by, the false, pale moonlight
cast
His shadow on her gate,
Like one who came to lift the latch at las t,
Alack! with cold, averted eye he pass’d
The open wicket, pitiless as Fate!
Then she arose, and from the moaning
wind,
And from the curious stare
Of the white stars, that mocked her as she
pined.
She closed with trembling hand her win
dow blind,
Turned from her watch and wept in lone
despair.
