A Word Changed.
Between the intelligent competitor
and frozen ink and rollers, ye scribe
has been kept on the ragged edge for
some time. With ajvicw oi mitigating
aomp of the offenses charged agaiutt
the late Benjamin F. Butler, and
showing that we eonld rise above
party and sectional prejudice, in re
ferring- to bis death we said, or in
tended to say: “Let us remember his
good deeds, end let the evil be buried
with him.*’ Now the intelligent com
positor, (that universal scapegoat for
all errort) evidently pondered over
the sentence aa he gazed out through
the tract coated window, and conclud
ed, that it was wrong, that it should
be warmed np, so hq set it up: “Let
us renumber his good deeds, and let
the evil be burned with him,” Now
nothing was farther from oor thoughts
than consigning the dead to a place
where it is hot, red hot, at this season
of the year. We have ho inclination
to be tackled by Mrs Felton, since
the rasping she hss given two preach,
era for assigning Jay Gonld to a region
which shall be nameless.

Dying on a Cot in the Depot,
On a cot in the depot last night a
negro man lay dying. Emaciated
until he had almost wasted away, and
totally paraljzsd from the waist down,
it was a pitiful sight That the end
was near was apparent to alL Henry
Williams was his name. He had been
brakeman on the F. 0. & P. Ky.,
until about three weeks ago, when he
was shot by an operator at Tallahas-
One bullet struck him iu the
face and another in the back. The
doctors probed and extracted the bul
let in his lace, but the one in the back
what will prove fatal. Gangrene
set in and they cent him home to die.
Flint is his home, but the dead body
will probably be all that is mortal of
Williams to be carried there this
morning.
The particulars of the shooting was
not learned, but it is understood that
it was justifiable. No arrest has
been made.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that strangers while driving in the
surrounding country are frequently at
a loss to know which road to take.
It would be a great convenience to
every one if sign boards were put up
at ail cross roads and at the forks of
all roads, giving distance aud direc
tion. They would cost but a trifle.

MM
Look Out Boys!
It would seem from the ruling of
Judge Alexander in the trial oi a case
before him yeeterday morning, that
henceforth a pecuniary penalty will
not be imposed upon the bad boyi
around town, who are guilty of mis
conduct, but they will hare to go to
the chain gang or be imprisoned in
the county jail.
The reason given for the decision
was, that when a fine waa put on the
boy, with an alternative of so long on
the chain gang, the father and mother
would strain every nerve in them,
even to the selling of their household
goods, to raise the fine money.
Consequently the penalty of tho
law fell upon the unoffending parents,
instead of the guilty boy; and the
guilty boy consoled himself with the
idea that he could do aa he pleaacd,
and when the trouble came hia paresta
would pay him out, and therefore he
took license to repeat hia badneaa.
Laid Away in Laurel Hill.
The funeral of Mr. R. H. Cooke
took place yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock from the family residence on
Hanaell street. It waa largely at
tended by friends ol the deceased.
The services at the house and grave
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Wynn.
Impressive end solemn were the words
that fell from the man of God upon
the listening assembly. The inter
ment oceurred iu Laurel Hill cemo-
tery, and a long line of carriages fol
lowed the casket to its last resting
place.
Numerous handsome floral tributes
were sent by Mr. Cooke's friends, and
hia grave was a mound of flowers.
The pall bearers were Mayor Hop
kins, Ex-Mayor Patten, J. L. Pringle,
Clny Wethington and Messrs. Wil
liams and Wilcox, of Eastman.
We Hope to do Better
We desire to make an explanation
oi the cause of the badly printed pa
per we have been issuing fo: the past
week and at the same time to thank
our patrons for their indulgence. The
trouble was due to a portion of the
machine ty connected with our press
giving away. The break could not be
repaired here, and we were forced to
order new parti from New York, This
we did by wire, but the extreme cold
weather delayed the machinery while
in transit, and it only arrived yester
day. Mr. C.B. Thompson, the well
known machinist, has adjusted the
new parts, and we think we can safe
ly promise our readers in future a pa
per that can be read. The break
down was entirely unavoidable, a) was
also the delay in repairing it, and of
coarse very annoying to ns.

Dev. Mr. Marion, of Mbrganton,

Eighty-fire cents a day I Here’s a
call for Organized Labor to send a
few of its ablest missionaries and or
ganizers down to Georgia to enlighten

Even the poorest Italians, Hans or
Chinese in the North get better pay
ihan that and wn are told ha s a
mighty poor specimen of black man
who cannot command more, even in
the South. Talk about your white
•lares!
The above is taken from The
Meriden Daily Journal, published at
Meriden, Conn. Our Northern' con
temporary appears to be very much
shocked that men shonld be asked to
work for eighty-fire centra day in
the (South. If prices in many North
ern factories and other manufacturing
establishments st the North were'
investigated, it would doubtless be
found that many'people there were
working for even less than eighty-fire
cento a day. The Sooth wants no
“Organized - Libor" missionaries

tree from strikers and is eminently
etpable of managing her own affairs.
It some of eur Northern friends would
attend to their own “grinding state of
affairs” they would donbtless find
enough to do. It may be of interest,
perhsps, to state that the adrertise-
ment above was inserted by a North
ern firm, not by Southern men.
These Northern gentlemen who hare
become identified with onr section,
are not heartless or “grinding" in
dealing with labor. They pay fair
prices and are popular with their
employes. The Meriden Journal is
too far off to judge accurately and
justly oi the surroundings in this case.
The Standing Committees.
The standing committees of the
new council were appointed by Mayor
Hopkins as follows :
Finance—Wright, Hayes and Mal

Wright.

Jerger.
Cemeteries—Herring, Stephens'and

Public Property—Hayes, Herring
and Stephens.
Fire—Jerger, Mailette and Steph-
»•
Water works and Sewers—Mal

Theso are exactly the same com
mittees that served last year and
their re-appointment is a high en
dorsement of the able and conscien
tious manner in which Iheyperformed
their duties.
He Was Astonished.
“Look at that, please," said the
wifcoi a prominent citizen to her
liege lord, who was still dozing ’neaih
double blankets, yesterday morning.
And she held out before him a ther
mometer.
‘Great Scott! Is it below aerol"
said the gentlemen, as he robbed his
eyes.
“The mercury has certainly touch-,
ed zero, but see for yourself," said the
wife.
And sure enough it was down to
zero. Drawing the blankets about
him the gentlemen showed a clearly
defined disposition not to get up un
der the circumstances. He was on
the point of ordering breakfast sent to
his room, when the . wife explained
that the instrument, which bad been
hanging on the back piazza, bad been
in contact with ice for several hours.
And this was the reason the mercu
ry went down to aero.

MURDER WILL OUT.
Walter Williams Now on Trial for a Crime
Committed Eleven Years Ago.
Six parties who play prominent
parts in a tragedy now being enacted
within the court bouse at Bainbridge
were in the city Sunday might. They
were Judge J. H. Guerry, of the Pa-
tauia circuit, Sheriff Patterson, of De
catur county, John Williams and Bob
Durham, life convicts, from the coal
mines, Walter Williams, now on trial
for his life, and Judge Pope,’ counsel
for defendant.
The two convicts wore the prison
uniform, which is but a shroud, for
bntied alive down in the depths of the
dark coal mines then’s is but a living
death. .
They attracted considerable cnrios-"
ity "while at the depot.
The trial of Walter Williams will
conclude one of the darkest chapters
in the annals of Decatur county, and
is another illustration ot the oft re
peated adage, “Murder Will Out.” A
brief resume of the case will be of in.
terest. In 1881 the residence of Mr.
John Donaldson was entered and a
large sum of money stolen. Only one
party outside of the guilty one knew
who committed the crime. A Mrs.
Brockelt. had seen the parties. Time
went on, and through mistake she
killed a cow belonging to Walter Wil
liams’ mother-in-law. Williams bad
her arrested. She gave bond, and
tent for Willtims and informed him
unless the' suit was withdrawn she
would “tell on him.” A few days la
ter she was found dead in bed riddled
with bullets, and a baby, by her side
marked tortile.
Durham turned states evidence and
told how Walter Williams, wh> was
then worth $10,000, bad got him
drank and hired him for $50 to do
the deed. John Williams went with
him to see it well done.
John Williams was tried first and
he received a life sentence. While
awaiting the trial of Walter they man
aged to break jaiL On makiog their
escape Durham appealed to them to
let hiiqout also, but they refused to
unlock his cell.
For eleven years the brothers eluded
airest. Sheriff Patterson went to
Mexico, Louisiana aud other parts of
the countrybefore finally capturing
them in a little village out in Arkansas
last September.. The people tjipre did
not know that the two men were
related. ;
John WUiiams was carried on to the
penitentiary and Walter Williams was
brought here for safe keeping: The
trial will probably conclude to-day and
Sheriff Patterson will pass through to
night or to-morrow returning with his
prisoners. .

Moon.
By request of Otis Ashmore, maker
of the astronomical calculations for
Grier’s almanac, Col. Lynes took
the exaet time last night of the transit
of .the - moon, across Jupiter’s disc.
The first contact waa exactly at 7
hoars, 48 minutes and 30 eeconds, by
90th meridian time. The night waa
too cloudy to note the time of last
contact- The first contact, however,
is the one of most importance in the
case of nccultation of planets and
stan by the moon. In the case of a
transit across the son’s disc both con
tacts are carefully noted. Avery
pretty sight is now in view of those
