THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, August 11,1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Rome voted yesterday on the bond
compromise question.
General Beauregard passed through
Atlanta Monday afternoon, en route for
the A irginia Springs, and Looking well.
Hancock county has 1,867 dogs,
which killed 223 sheep during the past
year. As an offset, however, she has
4,863 hogs for killing next Winter.
Since the prohibition law has been in
operation in Rome, the “little brown
jug" has become an institution, and
drunkenness is reported as on the in
crease.
Almost every county in the State
shows by its statistics the very gratify
ing fact that the number of hogs for
killing next Winter wiil be quite large,
as compared with previous jears since
the war.
Coffee county has a boy fourteen
years of age, four feet nine inches high,
two feet between the shoulders, five feet
round the chest, and weighs three hun
dred and eighty-four pounds, and is in
good health.
Lowndes county returns 18,448 acres
in corn; 12,758 acres in cotton; horses
and mules, 1,238; hogs, 11,929; sheep,
11,929; sheep killed by dogs, 269; of the
farm hands employed 347 are white and
1,075 are colored.
The Atlanta water works have so far
progressed as to afford a partial sup
ply. The pipes were to have been
tested yesterday. The people of the
town can scarcely realize what a bless
ing is in store for them.
A correspondent of the Thomaston
Herald suggests that it costs 815,000 in
cash to feed the dogs of Upson county,
and thinks that those who wish to own
the canines should be willing to be tax
ed for these animals, one, two or three
dollars a year each. Tax the dog-gone
things, by all means.
Randolph county has 28,549 acres in
corn; 26,714 in cotton. There are 1,063
dogs, which killed 123 sheep. The la
borers embrace 456 whites and 1,-
834 blacks; 5,066 cattle are returned; 1,-
679 horses anil mules; 102,100 acres are
enclosed and 95,216 original woods, in
dependent of wild lauds.
There are 231 organized companies
of military in Georgia, only 58 of whom
are armed—4s infantry, 11 cavalry and
2 artillery. Georgia’s quota of arms
from the United States is sufficient to
arm three companies per annum, ,and
the Legislature of Georgia very proper
ly refused to make au appropiiation to
arm these 173 companies that have not
weapons.
Macon Telegraph : Mr. W. H. Jack
son, the father of Judge James Jack
son, of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
died at the residence of the Judge on
College Hill, at 10 o’clock Sunday morn
ing. His remains were taken to Athens
for interment. Mr. Jackson was in the
ninetieth year of his age, having been
born in 1786. His health has been fee
ble for a long while. The Judge came
down and accompanied the remains to
Athens.
A delegation of prominent English
men are visiting Atlanta. The dele
gates are : Thomas D. Worrall, Man
chester and New Orleans, Director of
the Mississippi Valley Trading Com
pany ; Dr. J. H. Rutherford, of New-
Castle-on-Tyce, President of the In
dustrial Bank, and of the Ouseburn
Marine Engine Works; E. Vansitart
Neal, M. A., London, Barrister at Law
and Generaroecretary of the Co-opera
tive Congress Board ; J. Thomas, Esq.,
President of the Leeds Co-operative
Society ; J. Kay, Esq., of the Manches
ter Co-operative Wholesale Society ;
John R. Cleveland, Esq., Secretary of
the Deputation.
Wayeross department, Valdosta
Times : On Thursday night of last week
two young men, Thomas Thompson
and Jourdan Summer, were hunting in
a swamp. Each of the young men car
ried a loaded gun. While crossing a
thick place it became necessary for
Jourdan to carry both guns, Thomas
goiug ahead with a light. In pushing
apart the undergrowth a bush caught
the hammer of one of the guns, dis
charging a load of buckshot iu the back
of Young Thompson, killing him in
stantly. Thomas was a moral, upright
and dutiful son, and this dispensation
of Providence falls with a heavy hand
on a sorrowful family anti au invalid
mother.
Monroe Advertiser: The returns
made to our Tax Receiver show that
the negroes in Monroe county own
property as follows: Acres of laud,
3,227)4. The value of this land is
813,486. In 1874 this class made re
turn of 1,991 acres, showing that they
Lave come into possession of 1,236)4
acres within one year. They return
town property valued at 89,630 against,
in 1874, 810,882, showing a loss of
81,252. They also make a return of
money and notes to the value of 81,383;
the corresponding amount in 1874 was
82,784, showiug a falling off of 81,401.
The aggregate value of all their prop
erty iu 1874 amounted to 8113, 318; the
same for 1875 is 868,339, showiug a loss
of 844,979.
Atlanta Herald: A poor, crippled
Confederate soldier, and a German, ap
plied to Governor Smith the other day
for support, upon the ground that ho
had lost his leg in the war, which also
took away some fifteen thousand dol
lars from him—the entire amount of
his earthly goods. He insisted upon
having pay for his flesh and blood, at
least. The Governor could do nothing
for him, and the man declared his de
termination to lay down and cease his
efforts for an honest livelihood. He
was picked up by the police, carried
1 efore the Recorder, but that func
tionary declined to punish him and or
dered his discharge, although the poor
fellow bogged to be sent on. The sta
tion-house keeper was forced to put
him out of the house.
Savannah News : Yesterday morning
a little child about five years of age,
daughter of Mr. Jos. D. Willink, fell
from the third story window of her fa
ther’s residence, corner of Prico and
Harris streets, and, strange to say,
escaped instant death. We are in
formed that the little one was
playing on a bed near the win
dow, and whilst looking out
lost her balance and was precipitated
below. Fortunately the fall was
broken by her striking upon an
arbor or shed, and to this, probably, is
due her preservation from being ter
ribly mangled. The unfortunate child
was picked up in au iusensible condi
tion, bleeding quite profusely, and a
physician was summoned. Dr. C. C.
Schley responded, and did all that was
possible to relieve the little sufferer,
but is of the opinion that her recovery
is extremely doubtful, the injuries being
of such a character that it would be
little short of a miracle if she should
survive them. The distressed parents
have the sympathy of their friends and
the community.
Macon Telegraph : While the subject
of the Confederate dead is fresh in the
minds of the people, and before we be
gin to erect monuments to their mem
ory, ought not the bones of the two
hundred and sixteen gallant fellows
who fell in the battle of Griswoldville
to be gathered up and given decent
burial ? The remains of these men
were thrown together into half a dozen
pits. These pits are in an opeu field
which is in steady cultivation, and the
probability is that in a short while all
traces of them will be obliterated, un
less the bones chanced to be turned up
by a plowshare. It has not been a great
while since half a dozen skeletons were
plowed up in a place where it was not
known that any had been buried.—
There is not a marked grave on this
battle-ground—not a head board or
anything else to give the name of any
who fell in this fight; but their bones
are there, and they are the bones of
soldiers and Georgians, and, therefore,
ought they to be gathered up and given
place in someone of the soldier’s ceme
teries with which the whole country is
dotted. At present the pits may be
found, but in a short time all traces of
them will be obliterated. Therefore
ought the remains of these gallant men
—nameless as they are—to be gather
ed up and buried among those who
perished in the same cause.
Atlanta Herald : There is nothing
more grievously demanding legislation
than the Lunatic Asylum. The number
of insane people has increased so ra
pidly that it is impossible to house all
who apply for admission. Not very
long ago, four lunatics were sent back
to this city, because of the inability of
Dr. Greene to take care of them. We
have in mind a dozen cases where citi
zeus of Georgia have been forced to
send their lunatic relatives cut of the
State, to private asylums, for lack of
room in the State Asylum. The most
notable case, however, that has come
to the public yet, is that of a crazed
negro woman who was carried to
Milledgeville from Heard county.—
The Sheriff, Mr. Stephens, carried
the woman to Milledgeville after Dr.
Greene (we quote from Dr. Greene’s
statement) had sent word that she
could not be admitted. Dr. Greene,
upon her arrival, declined to receive
her. The Sheriff left her, iu her hand
cuffs, sitting on the steps of the asylum
and returned to the hotel. After she
had been there an hour or two, the
doctor was informed of it, and sent her
promptly to the hotel to Mr. Stephens.
Mr. Stephens, upon receiving her, took
off her handcuffs and turned her loose
in the streets of Milledgeville. He was
promptly arrested for this act, and the
matter is now being most vigorously
discussed.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE OF
PARKER.
Caught in a Wagon Under a Quilt —
s' Full Particulars of the Capture—The
Fugitive Ex-Treasurer Safely Lodg
ed in Camden Jail.
[Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.]
Columbia, August 9. — An official dis
patch was received from Camden to
day, stating that Parker had been cap
tured at that place last night. The
sheriff immediately left with a squad
of deputies to bring the fugitive back
to the jail at this place. The follow
ing particulars of his capture are given
iu an extra of the Kershaw Gazette,
published to-day:
About dark last evening excitement
ran high on Broad street over the re
ported arrest of the notorious ex-State
Treasurer and coupon manipulator, the
Hon. Niles G. Parker, lately convicted
of misappropriating the coupons at
tached to State bonds to the amount of
8150,000, and who escaped from the jail
of Richland county on the night of the
4th instant. Hearing the rumor, our
reporter hastened to the city jail in
quest of authentic information of the
matter, and to ascertain whether or
not the report was true. Upon gaining
admission to the interior of the jail,
which was attended with much diffi
culty, owing to the large crowd assem
bled at the front entrance, we looked
in at one of the cells and saw a mulatto
whom we recognized as a former ser
vant of Parker, and upon examining
the next cell found
The Fugitive
Niles G. pacing the floor and stroking
his beard with his right hand. He had
undressed himself when we first saw
him; and in his dirty striped shirt,
dirty socks and half clean drawers, he
presented the picture of one who had
endured some hardship in traveling.
How He was Arrested.
About 5 o’clock Laz Shiver passed a
wagon about a half or three quarters
of a mile from the Wateree bridge (on
this side) and espied in it a man con
cealed under a quilt or blanket. Think
ing there was something wrong, he dis
patched a messenger to the city with
this information. Chief of Police, Capt.
Witherspoon, received the information,
and thinking of the escape of Parker,
requested ex-Policeman Hansom Prin
gle and Henry Williams (an ex-police
man of Columbia, who knew Parker)
to go in quest of the “man in the quilt.”
About G o’clock they started off toward
the river, and as they got to the field
planted by Mr. Mathis, in rear of the
court house, they espied a negro and a
white man, who upon seeing them ap
proach attempted to cross the fence.
Pringle told him to stop, and placing
his hand on his arm, said, “Capt. Par
er, you are under arrest.” Parker said:
“Show your authority, sir.” Pringle
replied that he would show his authori
ty when he got to headquarters. The
negro man who was with Parker then
told Pringle to take his hands off Capt.
Parker. Pringle then took Parker by
one arm, Williams by the other, and
brought him to the guardhouse, where
he was placed securely in a cell. The ne
gro who accompanied Parker is named
Andy Johnson.
Parker’s Statement.
Our reporter gained admission to the
cell of the “man in the quilt,” and en
tered into conversation with him, from
which the following information was
gained : Parker escaped from the jail
by means of au entrance through the
scuttle in his cell, and then down the
lightning rod. He had on, at the time
of his escape, a pair of light-colored
pants, a felt hat and a dark brown
coat, was not disguised as a negro, as
surmised by the daily papers. He ex
pected to effect his escape from the
country on horseback, but was foiled
in his plan. He remained in Columbia
until Saturday night, when he and Andy
Johnson left on foot in this direction.
At McClair’s plantation, 12 miles from
this city, he hired a negro man to bring
them as far as Camden. He pretended
that he had given up all hopes of es
cape when he approached this city.
Parker had with him only the clothes
which he wore and a bundle containing
some small articles, besides “the quilt.”
Andy Johnson had in his pocket a roll
of money, showing evidently that he
was Parker’s moneyed man.
Parker’s Appearance.
The fugitive looks careworn and de
pressed in spirit, having experienced an
extremely stormy voyage over the bar
ren hills of Richland. Chief Wither
spoon, assisted by Pringle, Williams
and two policemen, kept strict guard
over the arrested parties during the en
tire night. They will be held here un
til the Sheriff of Richland arrives to
receive them.
A dispatch was received this evening
from Sheriff Dent, stating that he
would leave Camden at daylight to
morrow with Parker; that he would
travel overland, and would arrive here
about midday, and that precautions
had been taken to prevent a rescue.
General State News.
The Greenville News publishes a list
of nearly one hundred new buildings
in course of erection in that city, in
cluding thirty cottages for the opera
tives of the new factory.
The Patrons of Husbandry will per
form funeral ceremonies at*the grave
of Miss Addie Stokes, a deceased mem
ber of the order, at Enoree Church,
Greenville county, to-day. Miss Stokes
was a grand-daughter of the late Col.
T. C. Brockman.
The Horry News says: “Born, on the
20th instant, a son to Judge Isaac G.
Long. By his first marriage there were
eleven live births, and by the last mar
riage thirteen, making in all, to the
credit of his honor, twenty-four live
births at home.”
The Georgetown Times, of the 29th
ult., says: “The prospect of the rice
crop is said to be very good. The hot
scorching suns, which have well nigh
destroyed the upland crops, have not
so far been injurious to this water
plant. The rivers, up to this time,
have afforded an adequate amount of
fresh water for its healthy growth,
and unless visited by salts or gales,
our rice planters are likely to realize a
fair average yield per acre on the land
under cultivation.”
Monday evening, the 26th ult., Mr.
John Goodwin, living about fifteen
miles from Branchville, was struck and
killed by lightning. He was standing
in his yard under a shed, his wife about
ten feet from him. When ho was struck
she was stunned, but soon recovered,
to find her husband’s clothing on fire
and he dying. She called for aid, and
sent for a physician, but all efforts to
save his life were unavailing. Mr. G.
was buried by the Masonic fraternity.
The deceased leaves a wife and three
small children.
A Sad Case.— The Mobile Register, of
the 6th instant, has the following: “Yes
terday morning a man, leading three
small children, entered the office of the
Chief of Police and requested to see the
Mayor. When His Honor had finished
the enormous docket of the Mayor’s
Court he asked the man what he wish
ed. The response was a tale of suffer
ing and woe, snch as we have seldom
heard. The man, who comes from
Texas, said he had moved to that State
from South Caroliua a year or so ago;
that a few months since he lost his
wife, and with the three children, the
oldest of whom is not eight years of
age, he started back to South Carolina
on foot. Iu M ssissippi two of the chil
dren were taken ill, and the hither was
compelled to stay at the house of a far
mer for some six weeks, till the sick
little ones could travel. He finally
reached this city, but could get no fur
ther, and desired assistance to get to
Montgomery. He says he has ample
means at home, but cannot reach it.—
The Mayor advanced the money for
his passage to Montgomery, and direct
ed the chief to give the wayfarers food
till they could get away.”
