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.

The bright sunny afternoon was splendidly adapted for riding or walking and many took advantage of it for a stroll through the park. Very few of the large number ol quail ran in the market are killed in this county. The majority of them come from Mitchell county. The Mize brothers aud Nix brothers are great market hunters. Mr. E. M. Mallette, the live real estate agent, sold yesterday one of the Linton cottages on Broad street to Mr. C. Z. Lord, a well known rail road man. Mr, Lord will improve the place and occupy it at an early day- Mr. Sam Felder has bought the Camilla Clarion and is now in charge of that paper. Mr. Felder was, for a long time, au employe on this paper. He is a thorough newspaper man and will make the Clarion hum. We wish him much success in his venture. The Greeks of Savannah have organized a society for the promotion of their Interests, social and otherwise. P. Sampson is president and T. Samp son, vice-president. Both are broth ers of S. Sampson, of this city. The latter has been invited to join, and will do so. A special passed through the city at noon yesterday. On board were fifty-five regulars of the United States army. They were from Baltimore bound for Pensacola to enter winter quarters at the navy yard. The soldiers report rough weather and muoh delay coming down. 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. For Corns, Warts And Bunions, only Abbott’s East Corn Fs'at. Dr. James T. Byon, of Brockton, Mass., who spent last season here, re turned last night, and is a guest of Mr. Joshua Carroll. Dr. Byron has been at Ashville for some weeks but on account of his health was forced to leave. The weather there has been severely cold, the mercury going down as low as nine below nero. He says that Thomuville is his ideal ol a winter resort. Governor Wm. R. Merriam, of Minnesota, and family, arrived here yesterday morning in a Northern -Pacific special car. The governor wu on the streets yesterday meeting his southern friends. “I feel very much at home iu Thomuville,*’ said the governor yesterday to a group friends in front of the post office, He looks as if t^e cares of office had rested very lightly upon him for the put four yean. 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. Called. Dev. Mr. Marion, of Mbrganton, N. C., was called Sunday to the pasta- rage oi the Presbyterian church. Mr. Marion came here some weeks ago, and has made a favorable impression on all. He will, no doubt, accept the call. Southern White Slaves. A friend sends Attorney Fitzgerald the following advertisement from the Thomasville, (Ga.) Daily Times of December 30,1892: - ' Wanted.—To work on B. A A. R. R-. two hundred men at eighty- five cents per day. Steady work guaranteed Apply to C. W. Pidcock, Brooks County, Ga. 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 the people'and see if such a grinding state of affaire cannot be remedied, 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 sent down here. 8he- is largely 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 lette. Ordinance—Herring, Jerger and Wright. Streets—Stephens, Wright and Jerger. Cemeteries—Herring, Stephens'and Jerger. * Health—Hayes, Jerger and Wright. Printing—Wright, Hayes and Mal lette. Public Property—Hayes, Herring and Stephens. Fire—Jerger, Mailette and Steph- »• Water works and Sewers—Mal lette, Hayes and Herring. 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. “I think the plan of reorganization oi the Central a good one and that it wonld be ancceesfully carried out,” The speaker wu a prominent lawyer oi this city, who had been opportnn- edby the reporter for hia opinion. “The financial backing is very strong u is evident to all acquainted with the standing of the parties and cor porations which have stated their willingnem to co-operate in the under taking. It’s just like exchanging a bad note tor a good one, The plan eecma. to be u good u could be propoeed, and I tor one stockholder, am glad to accept it. There is no telling what the result would be if the road was sold." Besides hia individual holding the lawyer represents $6,000 of stock for clients. The certificates will be sent to Savannah and deposited u wu exacted in the plan. The other Thom uville stockholders of the Central look verj favorably upon Ihe plan, There is a considerable amount -of typhus fever in New Ydrk, 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. . The Guards Shoot- The Guards shoot which was post- poned torn the annivetsaty of Lee’s birthday on -account ol.. the weather was held yesterday afternoon at the usual target' range. Gapt. Hansell and Searg’t. F. McDougaid each scored fifteen out ol a possible twenty-five. In the shoot off the latter woo, aud will wear the . plume. The following was the score: Capt. Hsasell.......—- IS Lieut, Jerger....... Serg't McCants, Goes on Again. Trains Nos. 25 and 26 go back on again, commencing today. The leaving time for Bainbridge is 8 o’clock p. m., aid arriving time here is 6:30 a. m. The people of Cairo, Whigham and other towns, as well as the merchants of Thomasville, appre ciate this act. The city would have loot valuable ont-of-town trade, and the public generally wonld have been canted great inconvenience. People can now come in, transact their bust- and reich home in good time that night. The only other change to go into effect to-day will be that Nos. 5 and 6 now only run between here aad Bainbridge. Null and Void. The county court yesterday decided the recent election of Justice of the Peace at Cairo null and void. The matter as to whether it is. within the authority of the court to order an other election will be investigated, In the meantime Justice Barrow will continue to preside, or at least until the matter is finally derided. The contestants were Z. E. Norton and J. N. Barrow. The count had shown Norton one majority . Judge Alexander, however, derided fraud had been practiced. fired by an operator in Tallahassee, He died at Florence Banks’ house in the alley back oi the City Hotel. His remains were put in a rough open pine box and placed on board the train. Williams was about twen ty-three years of age. He has rela tives here. , Bam Burned. We regret to learn that Mr. Ken neth McKinnon had the misfortune to'lose his bam and contents by fire on Friday night -The fire was dis was filled with corn, oats, fodder and tobacco. There were four thousand pounds of the latter. Mr. McKja' non got his stock out safely. He had no insurance. The loss is quite heavy, U Council Proceedings. OatntciL Room, Jan. 10, 1892. Council met in called session, Mayor Patten presiding. Aldermen Wright,' Herring, Stephens, Jer ger, Hayes and Mellette, present.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS. Pithy Paragraphs of Prominent Things and People. Satterlee stays with the Georgia- troops. More senators than statesmen havo recently been elected. Litigation will likely, follow the reorganization of the Central. The snow on Wednesday pat the telegraph wires in a bad tangle. The Southern press have very kind comments on the death of Mr. Hayes. 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 who appreciate celestial beauty. If one regards the eastern sky Orion and his splendor* may be seen, whilst in the southern sky the unusual phe nomenon of the conjunction of Jupi ter, Mars and moon may be seen. A New Firm. Bread street will, at an early day, have a new mercantile firm. Messrs. Charles and Sam Wolff have formed copartnership and will, under the firm name of C. & S- M. Wolff, open first-class stock of dry goods at 109 Broad street, Mr. Charles Wolff ar rived here yesterday from Nashville, and wili leave on Friday'for New York, where he goes to purchase the atook. The business will be dry goods exclusively- Both these young, men were born and reared in. .Thomuville and are known by almost every citi zen of the county. They art) good business men, have had large experi ence in the dry goods line, and there is no doubt but they will do a good business.. They expect.to be open in the earlypart of February. We wish them a prosperous business career. Two Heartd That Beat as One. Judge -Alexander solemnized a marriage ceremony in his office yes terday. The two hearts tbat.were made to beat as one were “Rev.” William Hayes and Pinkey Brown. As soon u the couple made known their mission, word wu quickly passed around and quite a group of lawyers, deputies and coart attaches gathered to see them united in the holy bonds. At the lut moment the groom-elect wanted to bolt, and it took considerable bracing np to keep his courage np. He recovered, how. ever, as the final words were said, and sainted the bride with more zeal than grace. Will Lecture Here. Hon, H. W. J. Ham, the famous Georgia orator, probably better known u “Snollygoeter’’ Ham, will deliver his celebrated lecture, “The Georgia Cracker," at the opera honse on Monday, February 6 th.
