Tiflon’s Incendiary and Murderer Placed Behind the Bars. COL. ANDREW YOUNG DEAD. 132 BROAD ST. A Gallant Soldier and Citizen Called to , His Reward A brief notice of the death of Col, Andrew Young, at hi? home at Cle burne, Tex., appeared in the Georgia columns of the Norning News of ves terday. Col. Young is remembered by many citizens of Savannah, who formed his acquaintance when be was stationed here at the beginning of the war ns surgeon of the First Gcnr- gia regular?, to which position lie was appointed by Gov. .Too Brown. When Paul Scmmes organized the Second Georgia Volunteers, Dr. Young was appointed surgeon of the regiment, and accompanied it to Vir ginia. Desirous of participating more actively in the war, Col. Young resigned the position of surgeon, and returning toTifsTionie, in Blairsvf bo organized wbat was known «» the Young Volunteers, a company which was attached to the Twenty-third Georgia, and participated in the pe ninsular campaign in the neighbor hood of Ynrktown, Va. At the battle of Seven Pines, Col Young was wounded, a minie hall passing through his breast and making its exit in the back. He was left for dead on the field, hut friends found him, a silk handkerchief was passed entirely through the wound, and lie so far recovered as to he able to lie taken home. When he became con valesccnt lie revisited his old regi incut, and while in Richmond was given a commission to raise a cavalry regiment, which was known Young’s regiment of cavalry. After the war closed, Col. Young located at Monroe, Walton county, and practiced medicine a year, when }Jti removed to Cleburne, Tex., a town at that time of only fifty inhabi tants, hut now a city of nearly 5,000 population. (.’ol. Young retired from the practice of medicine some years ago, the appreciation of his town property enriching him. At the time of his death lie was editor of the Cleburne Tribune, a paper owned by his sons. Col. Young was an active politician before the war. and had served in Both branches of the Georgia legisla ture as a representative of Union county and that senatorial district. He was an active friend of the late Iloifell Cobh, whose political ambi tions he always sought to advance, nnd he was also a partisan of the Hon. Joe Brown before the war. Col. Young was a graduate of the Augusta Medical College, and of the .Jefferson Medical College of Phila delphia. His wife died last year. Qol. Young was horn at Mount Ver non, Marion county, Tennessee, and was in his 73d year at the time of his death. He was an uncle of Capt. A. A. Winn, of this city, and a brother- in-law of Col, Barkley, who was kill ed at Antietam, and bore the same relation to Gen. John C. Vaughn, who died at Thoraasville since the war. Col. Young leaves five chil dren, who haVe reached their majori ty, and reside at Cleburne, Tex. _ Tv Tv, Ga., Oct. 2.—Jake Young, who has eluded the officers since he killed Arch Golden at Tifton, early in the spring, was captured this evening, near Tifton. Some one, in the night, fired the new Methodist church at that place, a few weeks ago, before its completion, but the fire was discovered in time to prevent much damage, and the mem bers placed a watch at the church. Monday night last the watchman saw a man approach the church and pour kerosene oil against it. The man then raked shavings up under the building and, with a match, set fire to the pile. As the Irght blazed up the watchman fired five shots at the man with a Win chester rifle, but he escaped. The watchman then extinguished the flames. Next morning there were signs of blood on the ground near the church. A posse was summoned and the incen diary was tracked to a house near Tifton. All day yesterday the house was guarded, and to-day it was raided. After a desperate fight, Young, who was the incendiary, was caught. He had been shot in the hip. Young is a desperate character. It is supposed that he burned the Ma sonic hall and the Methodist church at Tifton last-year. He seems to have had no motive but revenge upon some of the members of the church, who refused to uphold him in Ins lawless course. The murder of Arch Golden was a cold-blooded affair. He was shot from behind without warning. Senator Senator Hampton, of South Caro lina, said to a Washington Star repor ter the other day : “My position in regard to the colonization of the negroes lias been misinterpreted by numbers of people, who think that I am in favor of using, force to get them out of the country. In- conse quence of this misinterpretation, I have recently received scores of let ters most of them anonymous, of nit exceedingly abusive and denunciatory character. I never said a word nbotit forcing the negroes away. There is no doubt in my mind, though, that it would he better for the south, better for the negro, and better for the whole country if the ‘darkies’ could he put by themselves. Gen. Grant favored something of this kind when he advocated the purchase of some of the western islands. For myself, F would favor a hill giving governmen tal aid to the removal and settlement of those willing to emigrate. Then the negroes would have an opportuni ty of seeing what they could do for themselves in the way of self-govern ment.” Senator Hampton thinks that Mexico, or one of the coast islands, would be the best place for the colored people to go to. Lost His Grip. Thomas Feltcrs, a very green coun- tr.man from Thomas county, was pirouting about the docks yesterday afternoon in search of his grip, which, he said, he had left under a lumber pile, but just where the pile was was what troubled Tom. “Them darn piles is all alike, so’s I au’l lei! one from t’other,” he com- plained, "hut I’ll look under everyone of ’em ’fore I quit.” The suggestion that possibly a pirate had collarod the grip and made off with it, was not accepted by Thomas. They ain’t smarte’rn I are,’’ he proudly affirmed, "'cause I hid it sho’ huff.” It looked that way. — Brunswick Times.

As considerable discussion is going the rounds of the papers on Bermuda grass, says a correspondent in the Florida Agriculturist, I will give a little of my experience with it. .One of my neighbors had a small patch in a field where some early settler had built a cabin of logs and had set some Bermuda in the yard. The old cabin was either burned or torn away, and this patch of Bermuda was spreading so rapidly that, he had fears of its taking his place. As he was about to plant the field- to cotton the next spring, I suggested to him that he plow it under thorougly and keep the ground well cultivated. This was in August, and his stock had fed it down very short.’ He followed my suggestion, turn ing under all the grass nicely, and with harrow and cultivator kept it clean as a summer fallow. The fol lowing spring a few spears made their appearance, and the ground was plow ed and harrowed again and laid off with the rest of the field and planted to cotton. A few more spears made their appearance hut the season’s cultivation did them up and no Ber muda has since appeared. There is no more being heard about it. Thorough cultivation will destroy it. And now, I wish to say, one may search the vorld over and not find a more valuable grass for a hot climate than Bermuda. It grows on the poor est land and makes one of the finest pastures to be found, and the same area will afford more feed, keep more stock and thrive under more diffictil ties than any gross yet discovered and it is within the reach of all. A man with but five acres of land can plant aronndit even on a sand ridge jgL and with a little cotton seed meal, or n few loads from the hen house, hog pen or co\V lot, can keep it in good growing condition and it will feed a horse and cow the year round, with a ' little fodder and corn two months iti the winter. Run a fence through the centre of the acre lot, to divide it, and pasture half at a time. If the pasture is convenient to one of Florida’s numerous little lakes the stock will require hut little trouble and he hut small expense. Without it the poor titan must let the stock alone and build a tight fence. A pig or two can also he kept in the same lot. Now, there is nothing to hinder every farmer who owns land, whether much or little, from having a fine pasture in Florida as on the best blue grass region in Kentucky, and at half the cost and expense of any other grass in existence. The light ditch keeps it from spreading, witli a little care once or twice a yenrto go around with a shovel and throw the stray shoots hack into the field.—F.x. Broken Promises. Mr. George William Curtis deliv ered the address before the national civil service reform league at the an nual meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. He delivered the address before the league last year, fit last year’s address he stated that Mr. Cleveland had failed in some re spects to enforce the civil service re form law, but that there was reason for thinking that he had endeavored honestly to cnforc it, and had succeed ed better than it was generally thought lie would. He saw more to praise than to condemn in Mr. Cleve land’s civil service reform record, hut lie did not hesitate to point out his short-comings. Rut what does Mr. Curtis say about President Harrison’s civil serv ice record? In his whole address there is not one expression from which the President can derive satisfaction. He says that the President was elected on a platform in which the party was pledged to promote civil service re form, and that the President, in his inaugural address, took oocasion to say that he would do all in his power to enforce the civil service law in let ter and spirit. lie also points out that the President declared that he would make removals from office on ly for cause, aud would make ap pointments only for merit. lie asks whether the President has kept his pledges, and answers that so far from doing so ho has violated them from the start—that, in fact, lie lias almost ignored the existence of the civil ser vice law. The republican party, he declares, lins repudiated the civil ser vice plank in its platform, and a ma jority of the organs of that party Berpiicla gra^a, run a light openly sneer nt civil service reform. Mr. Curtis apparently has no hope that civil service reform will prosper while the Republican party is in pow er. There was never any ground for thinking that it would. Before the election of Mr. Cleveland no progress was made in the effort to reform the civil service. Under his administra tion, however, the people began to hope that the reform would eventual ly become firmly established. The Harrison administration Inis destroy cd that hope. It made great promises, hut it lias not kept any of them. News. A Backset, but not A Defeat ? The abandonment by the New Or- lcrans Exchange of a demand of l(i pounds tare on cotton packed in cotton cloth, is by no means significant that that rate will not finally he agreed upon. The claim of the New Orleans Exchange, that its action was forced by that of other exchanges, is no doubt true. Memphis never accepted the proposed rate, and the Charleston Exchange reconsidered its action accepting it. What other exchanges may have done, we cannot state posi tively. but 110 doubt some of them acted as Memphis or C'hSrlcstoii did. A complete triumph of the move ment for the substitution of cotton for jute bagging could hardly have been expected this year. The change was too great for that, with the scant means possessed for the manufacture of the cotton bagging, aud the cus toms, fears and rivalries of the ex changes to he overcome. But suffi cient progress has been and will be made this season to give assurance of success if the policy of the alliances and the planters is resolutely adhered to, and wc are gratified that there are no indications of weakening as yet.— Atlanta Journal. From the Camilla Clarion. His name is William Russell Hu ghes, a seven year old son of Mr. Ed. Hughes, of the Bethany neighbor hood. The little fellow had picked, up to the 20th of September, 1650 pounds. We send him the Clarion for six months, as a premium, and will send it to any other little hoy who beats his record. “1 am out ot debt.” That is the joy ful news many a happy farmer tells us this season. We have seen more cheerfulness among the farmers lately than wc have known since 1SO9, when cotton brought twenty cents. Speaking of Ohio’s big hogs, Mitch ell county is the Ohio of Georgia. Mr. William M. Boynton killed a • hog in March which weighed four hundred and seventy nine pounds, and we kill one this season that will draw six Inin dred pounds. Young Mr. J. E. Hughes is a young farmer living on the Branchville road, on a two horse farm. He is just old enough to sport the most modest of mustaches, and yet, with one negro to help him, he has made ten hales of cotton and picked it out with his own hands. Besides, he has raised corn and hogs and other things in propor* tion. One thing the Clarion objects to. The prosperous young farmer is a bachelor and keeps bachelor’s hall. That must be broken up. Go forhim, girls. Watermelon seed were found in nil Egyptian tomb that was 3,000 years old. There was 110 doubt about tlieii^ being watermelon seeds, because the mummy was all doubled up.—Texas Siftings. LIVY’S Latnt Success, -FOR- lies, HEAD, HEAD! And Profit by the Same.
