The West Point Manufacturing Com¬
pany is putting up $50,000 worth of ad¬
ditional machinery to their mills. The
mills will now consume 12,000 bales of
cotton per annum.
The'Georgia insane anlum is full. No
more patients can be admitted at Mii-
ledgeville. At least, such was the expe¬
rience of two Atuens lunatics, who were
refused admittance.
The postoffice department has decided
to let Jug Tavern keep the name she
could not get rid of. An effort was made
to Brandon, change the name of the place to

Mitchell county is moving ahead on the
right line. The county now has four
fiist-class academies—one each at Ca¬
milla, Pelham, Baconton and Hopeful,
and all are well patronized.
have Already the citizens of Thomas county

The last stock show was a great
success, and encouraged the farmers totrv

Application for a charter for the South
Atlantic Land and Lumber Company has
been filed in the superior court ot McIn¬
tosh county. This company means
much for southwest Georgia, as it has
a capital stock of $5,000,U00.
A monstrosity in the shape of a child
resembling a groundhog was on exhibition

and other peculiarities of the groundhog.
It was born on Sand mounta n, and is

Nehemiah spirit in the murder of Rev.
Eva't, in Walker county, on
the night of January 17th.
Brunswick has received an additional
$2,000 to assist in the survey of the outer
bar. Col. Lester secured this amount,
which makes $4,000 in all which has
been appropriated for the work by the
government. This action results iu a
saving of $2,000 to the taxpayers of the
city.
Congressman Catchings, of Mississippi,
and Amos Cummings, called on Mr.
Blaine a few days ago to present rnemo-
rials about the persecution of Jews in
Russia. The secretary told them that a
digest of the resolutions of the character
presented were being prepared, and when
completed, this would be forwarded
through the American minister at St. Pe¬
tersburg to the czar.
There will be an important committee
appointed by the five Baptist associations
of southwest Georgia, who will visit
several places all along the line of the
different railroads, looking for the best
location for a college. Several of this
committee have already expressed them¬
selves very favorably towards Cordele.
They say they want to build a college
where the boys and girls of the wiregtass
region of Georgia can get a good educa-
lon at home.
The AYooifolk tragedy has been re-en¬
acted, but not altogether as the crime for
which Tom AYooifolk paid the penalty on
the scaffold at Perry. A colored church,
in Albany, several nights since, was the
scene of a theatrical presentati n of that
terrible tragedy, gotten up among the
membership of said church. The pre¬
sentation w*as reported to be a rare and
roaring success, and the pantomime
was not long in crushing the life out of
nine pantomime bodies, and then came
the gallows scene, wheu the life of the
bloody axman was given up in expatia-
tion of the terrible crime.
That the Central Railroad and Backing
Company of G. orgi i has control of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail¬
road there is no doubt. The trade has
been made, and although it has never
been confirmed, it is learned from a most
reliable source that the deal'has been con-
sumated. The Central Railroad and
Banking Company endorsed the outstand¬
ing bonds of the Chattanooga, Rome aud
Columbus railroad, guaranteeing the in¬
terest and their final redemption. In con¬
sideration of this endorsement, the Cen¬
tral received half of the stock of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, which,
with President J. D. YATlliamson's stock,
made a controlling interest.
A bale of Baker county cotton has been
traced to Moscow, Russia. It was made
by Mr. T. H. Pullen, of Milford,- and in
the bale he placed a note, addressed to
the party who might use it, giving name
and postoffice, and requesting that he be
informed of the manufacturer and place
manufactured and the price paid for the
cotton. He recently received a letter
from Moscow, from which it appears
that the cotton was sold to a manufac¬
turer at that place on the 28th of Decem¬
ber, and he wrote Mr. Pullen on the 30th.
The letter was received iu New York on
the 7th of January, and reached Mr.
Pullen on the 9th. Mr. Pullen regrets
very much that the party failed to give
the price he paid for the cotton, and
will write him again for that information.

Mysterious Death of the Heir to
Belgium’s Throne.
Prince Baudouin, nephew of King
Leopold, and heir to the throne of Bel¬
gium, is dead. He died in Brussels at
3 o’clock Friday morning. The cause ol
death is alleged to have been an attack
of bronchitis. The death of the prince
has caused a. tremendous sensation and

Cross and White, The Ex-Bank¬
ers, Pardoned.
A Raleigh di-patch says: la March,
1888, Charles E. Cross nud Samuel C.
Wnite, respectively president and cashier
of the State National Ban it, of Raleigh,
fled to Canada, taking with them $20,-
000 of funds which they had received
from other banks by express just pre¬
vious to departure. The batik* had for
some time been in bad condition and
the case became of national notoriety
They were tried at Raleigh ia 1888, and
convicted. They appealed li'st to the
state supreme court, which affirmed the
decis : ou of the superior court, and then
to the United States supreme court,
upon the ground in the latter appeal
that- as officers of a national bank
they were only amenable to
the federal laws. They lost the case in
the United States supreme court, and
were soon after resentenced to hard labor
on the public roads of the county. Very
earnest efforts to secure pardons have for
some time been in progress. On Thursday
their devoted wives, accompanied by a
number of prominent men, called upon
Governor Fowle, and presented petitions
for pardon, bearing thousands of signa-
tures. Among the signers were Senators
Ransom and Vance, nearly all the mem-
hers of the legislature and the judge,
jury and solicitor in the superior "court
The governor granted the pardons, and
made a hearty endorsement upon the pa-
pers in the case.

The business of the conference was re¬
sumed Satuidav morning, the question
under discussion being the best raeihod
of instructing and reaching the industrial
classes, and the most feasible plan for
educating ization. them in doctrines of the organ¬
Much difficulty has been en¬
countered in disseminating the principles
and ideas of the confederation as em¬
bodied in the Ocala convention, and
reaching a common applicable basis on which to
work. This is particularly to
the negro regions as well as in a
less degree to other portions of
the country, where it has been
found that nearly evfcry state organiza¬
tion has different methods of reaching
the people. The confederation, after long
discussion, finally determined that the
national committee is to consist o£ the
chairmen of the different organizations tfcds in
the confederation. The duty of com¬
mittee will be to determine on the best
methods to perfect the work of the or¬
ganization and carry out the demands
made by the confederation. The new
committee has plenary power during the
adjournment of the delegates composing
the organization, and each chairman of
the executive committe; has power to ap¬
point an assistant to aid him in any w«y
in carrying out the views and impressing
upon the people of his organization the
principles of confederation. By-laws
were also adopted by the conference
for the government of the confederation,
which also prescribe different the duties of the
officers of the organizations.
The president of the confederation wa-
authorized and empowered to invite all
industrial organizations to send repre¬
sentatives to meet and exchange views

to act for the organizations then adjourned they repre¬
sent. The conference to
