Lover. Special dispatch to Enquirer. Washington, D. C., March 20.— The inhabitants of the beautiful valley of Tyron mountain urere this morning startled by the discovery of a tragedy, startling, sickning and romantic in its details, it being no less than a deadly duel between two women, to decide which of the twain should have solely the affection of a man who had been paying attention to them both. Last night they met, and, after a desperate hand to-hand conflict one was left dead upon the field, although, as the sequal proved, her defeat was encompassed by means of foul play : RobeU 5. Jffiby, a larmer in humble i: *:, lived near the seene of the tragedy. A year sgo he was an ardent suitor for the hand of Miss Gracie Mills, who lived just over the South Carolina line ; but although he courted her frequently, 6he would not marry him. Some months since he met Miss Jane Jackson, who lived in the valley of Tyron mountain, here in North Carolina, and he gave up his long struggle for the South Carolina maiden and transfered his affections to Miss Jackson, upon whose heart, after more than one assault, he appeared to make some impression. As soon as the South Carolina woman discovered this sheen tertained violent hatred toward Jane Jackson, and the feeling was re turned by her rival, who had succeeded in getting the love of the man which had been rejected by the woman who was now vexed at not taking it when she bad the chance. Both were robust, country women, and it was thought there would be trouble between them, as each had on more than one occasion defied the other. Last night Miss Jackson was sitting in the house with a friend, Dora Spen cer. Just at dark a voice was heard from the road calling Jane Jackson Jane got up and went out, and never returned. This morning when search was made the searching party came up on a spot which gave evidence that it had been the field of a desperate battle for life. Sticks and atones were there, and the ground was torn by the tramp* ing of feet, while tbe soil had been turned into gory mud. Further search revealed a trail showing that a body had been dragged, and further on in a creek lay the body of Jane Jackson, stiff and cold, and in one of her clench* ed hands was found a turft of the hair of her assailent, which indicated that she had made a desperate struggle for her life. From all the evidence that could be elicited it seems that tbe two women met out in the road that night. The tracks show that Gracie Mills was ac companied by a man, and when she was getting the worst of the fight her Ale partner came np and struck a fatal blow with a fence-rail upon the head of Miss Jackson, and the two together proceeded to murder her. The hair which the dead woman clutched in her hand was that of Gracie Mills. Who her male accomplice was is a mystery The murderess has fled, and there is no clew to her whereabouts. The affair has caused wild excitement “Oh, papa,,’ said little tommy the other day, “didn’t yon say there was nothing new under tbe son ?” “Yes, my boy, the losophers say so.” “Well, look under me,” went on the young hopeful, getting up on the old gentleman’s bran new silk hat, “that is something new under the son, ain’t it?” The next thing the boy knew there was something old under the son, and it was his father's boot, with a foot in it. Governor Colquitt Explains. The following extract is taken from the Columbus Enquirer of a late date ; “A short time ago'the Macon Telegraph and Messenger stated in direct terms that Governor Colquitt had made a bargain with Judge Simmons of that circuit, by which the latter was to succeed Governor Colquitt ia gubernatorial honors. In the same papers of yesterday wo find this statement : “It is more than inspected that Governor Colquitt is anxious to barter away bi9 succession, it indeed, the contract be not already closed with one or more persons. He never denied that he had specially offered it to Mr. Stephens, nor has he or any of his friends taken occasion to refute the more than rumor, that he had made a similar offer to Judge Simmons, of this circuit. Governor Brown has been purged of any connection with this affair. The rumor is and has been rife for a long time that more than one gubernatoaial aspirant holds a sort of parol contract with the gov ernor and his friends, or both, for the succession and many very good people put faith in it. It has created some discussion, one of the results of which has reached us in a very authentic shape, to the effect that there is a written contract to the same effect still in existence, or rather a copy of it, that it was drawn up by a very enthus iastic adherent of the governor, when the latter was in great political stress, and that a prominent politician has a copy of it.’ “If this is not true, it will be an easy mat ter for the governor to set himself right in the premises. The charge cannot be taken as an attack npon the chief executive prompted by any motive save that of a desire to serve the party, as it emanates w!* 1 - „journal that give all the e ; d — 1 infiuenc. us Control to securing the eiectiou of the present incumbent. If Governor Colquitt has the good of the democratic party at heart he should either refute this or he should make it public and give his reasons therefor.’ The above was submitted to Governor Colquitt. We preface what he had to say with the simple statement that while the Telegraph and Messenger did aid in the election or Governor Colquitt the present management and editor both bitter ly opposed him before election and have lost no chance to criticise him since. The governor said : “I have not seen tbe articles to which you allude, and do not care to dignify them with my attention.” “You have nothing to say ?" “I do not like to answer even in response to an inquiry such ill-Datured insin uations. Yon may say, however, that I have never said one word to Judge Sim moos on the subject of the race. I have never written him one word or had a line from him. I have never authorized any one else to consult with him, I have never spoken to Governor Brown or General Gordon on the subject. I have not seen Governor Brown since he came to Georgia and don’t know when I shall see him. While Judge &immon3 is my friend and a gentle man whom I esteem most highly 1 hare never expressed a preference for him. Is this a full enough answer ? If not mak« fuller, if possible. There is no use answer ing these rumors. First, it was Mr. Steph ens to whom I had offered the succession. That failing, it was Judge Simmons. This failing, it will be some one else.” “You may say farther,” said the gover nor earnestly, “that while J da not claim from my position any single right that tbe humblest voter does not have, I shall never admit that it restrains me from the rights of the proudest citizen When the candidates for the nomination are before th» people, if I have a choice I shall Rot hesitate to express my preference, and to emphasize that expression by all legitimate means. This is my right as a citizen it is ray duty as a citizen’ and I shall no be back ward in asserting it when the proper time comes.” Mahone in Trouble. Lynchburg Advance. The revolt of the independents in the legislature against the effort of Mahone and Biddleberger to repnblicanize the party, meets with the hearty approval of true and honest' readjustee through the state. It is a great mistake for these mercenary leaders to suppose that the privates are all as venal as themselves. Doubtless they do not understand how any one can act from aDy other motive than the hope of gain. In their ntter abandon, their scorn of all principle, they haTe gone a little too far. A reaction was inevitable, and it has set in. Wfipt we have seen constitutes only the first big black drops. The storm is just behind and if yon haTe ears to hear you can catch the low, ominous notes of warning. In its fury all the woes of the seventh vial are gathering for the men who have degrad ed and disgraced their native state, at the behest of a low, ignoble and sordid am bition. When that day of wrath arrives, let all the doers of evil stand from under ; let him that is in the field not return to tbe house, and let him that is on the house top come not down ; for the doom of pol itical damnation will follow fast after every politician who has sought to sell his state for guilty gain. Sightly* Mixed. Newspapa readers often see curious mistakes in japers which appear hard to account fot These are sometimes made by the foeraao in making np the forms, and in various ways. Any one who has even had Ay intimate mnection with a newspaper Will appreciate this ; The CircleviUe Wstahmso i* responsi ble for the following: “GeorgeKinder, editor of the Putnam Conaty Sentinel, recently wrote up a herd ofshoit horn cattle, and the same week the laiies of Ottawa gave a concert which puffed in flowery language.

Gnrfield'N Doctor Bills. Washington, March 20.—When th> doctors’ bills for attendance npon Presi dent Garfield, and the other bills ex penses incidental to his illen and death, are reported to the house, it is probable that the minority of the com mittee will make a report and indulge in some speech-making of a sensational character—at least, such » the present intention of some members of tbe com mittee. A member of the committee recently said be did not believe it to be the business of the house to pass upon bills ranging in amount from 24 cents to $25,000. He thought the bills should have gone, in the first place, to the legal representative of Gen. Gar field, and have been brought by him before congress, when the parly of the late president mightTiave been extend ed a sufficient time to cover the ex penses. The bills altogether amount to about 140,000. It is also intimated that there will be attacks upon the President’s physicians, suggestions that there has been no evidence to show such extraordinary skill as wouid seem to be indicated by the large fees recam mended by the majority of the com mittee, and even, perhaps, a revival of the old charge that ^>ne of the physi cians profited by telegrams sent to Wal street in advance of the bulletins. The Savannah, Florida and Western Railway is on a boom. No other rail road company in the State has shown more enterprise of management or more material advancement during the last eighteen months than the S. F. & W. From the Savannah News we learn that some very extensive and handsome ad ditions have just been made to the railroad stock of this road, including several large locomotives and some ele gant passenger coaches and sleepers. The management of this corporation is most liberal and progressive, and it is doing a great deal for the development of Southern Georgia and a good portion of Florida.—Albany Netcs and Adver tiser,.

The President couclw'ed to pass the hat him self. and, in order to encourage the others he pnt in a ten.eet* piece. After the col lection, during whith every hand have been in the bat, the Prudent approached the table, turned the hat ap-side down, and net even his own contribution dropped oat. He opened bis eyes with astonishmeent, and exclaimed, “I’m eben lost de tea cents I Btarted wid I” Then there was consternation en the faces of the the SBsembfr. It was evident- ly a hopeless case, pnd fas summed np by one brother, who rose in his place and said solemnly. “Dar ’pears to be a great moral lesson roan’ head aomewhar.” 1 FeemIterate* eflhs Priater. The printer ia a patron of the art pres- ervatioa of all arts, hat he frequently has tha art of getting a poor writer into ai pickle. The printer sets while Banding, and standi while setting. The printer is net usually a wealthy person, bat generally has aqnion or two about him. H« sometimes does very poor work bnt nil his work; good or had, ia justifiable The printer does not often carry cane, but yon will almost always ind him with a stiek in hia hand. Seme times he is a stick himself. The printer is a materialist. All his thoughts are npon matter. Most men like to have things dome out square at the end of each day, but the printer hates to be obliged to bring his work out even. This sounds odd but it is even so. Though correcting his corrors every day, the printer may .all the time be glowing worse. Though a perfect Jack Sprat in his fondness for lean meat, the printer never objects to fat. He is often a profound reader, hut al ways dislikes solid matter. The printer is like the acotr in the fact that he hates to see a beggarly array of empty boxes. The printer may not be averse to poetry, but he detests pi. The good printer is known by his form. So eareful is he of his form that he always locks it up. Though not always correct, the prin ter's work is invariably done by rule. The printer is a very inoffensive in dividual, but ia quite clever with the shooting stick. The printer is not satisfied with think ing his work is complete; he always wants a proof of it. The printer is your true man of let ters, though he may not be a literary man. Tha printer is an upright mao, but he is frequently seen about the gal leys. The printer used to be very bashful sort of a fellow, bug now that females aia employed in printing offices, he will Mt up with a girl six evenings a week, aud he goes to press every day Types of the human raee are scatter ed all over the earth, and the printer die tributes his types in all directions. The printer is not necessarily a (port ing character, hat his form may fre- queitly be seen the chase. The printer ia eftea beside himself) that ia tossy, be frequently atanda beside his frame. Like the lawyer, the printer is de pendent upon hia cases for • livelihood. When a printer has finished bis job, he works it off. He reckons his work by the token by this token may yon know that he gives you full measure. Much more might he said of the prin, tor, hat this mast de for to-day- Let us eloee by hoping that when he hseamee dead matter an imposing atone may he erected to his memory.—Newberry, Herald. Crepe la Mathers Geerplaa. Our information from all parts of Southern Gqprgia represents the crops as in a most favorable condition. It is generally believed that the cotton area has been largely deoreased and that ef corn and other provision eropa pro portionately increased. Ia many lions the prospect ia reported as very fine ,and in a few looalitus bettor then ever before. The oat crop, now rapidly advaaciag to maturity, snfferod for run ia some sections daring the early spring, but the recent rains seem to have bee* general acd a fiae crop is now expected The truck forms along the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad and its branthas are also reported ia a pros perous condition. In a few instanoes planting was too early without adequate protection, especially of melons, but generally the prospect is good, while in Lowndes, Brooks and Thomas counties the melon crop is reported unnsuaHy promising for this season. Of peaches, apples, pears, figs, plums, grapes, etc., the prospect is lair, and with bo late frost the country will be blessed with an abundant crop of fruits, Tbe great est difficulty encountered by the form ers is the scarcity of labor.—Many forms have been enrtailsd for the waat of field laborers, tbe lumber sod turpen. tine business in the pine regions having drawn away mneb of the labor here tofore available.—Sae.
