is said that Henry Spencer waa
hit and slightly wounded by the shots
fired by Shoriil Doss and posse the
other night. -He is reported as being
in the same locality yet and says that
he will not leave. The Govereor will
probably ofler a reward for his cap
ture- Spencer is one of the most
desperate criminals ever in the couu-
ty.
Chairman Ilayes of the board of
county c »mmis3ioners wrote a letter to
Governor Northen yesterday, urging
that a reward be offered at once for
the arrest of Henry Spencer, colored,
the man who killed another colored
1, Moses Green, recently. -Judge
Hansel I enclosed in the letter of
Chairman Hayes, a letter to the
governor strongly endorsing the plea
for a reward. It is likely that the
governor will promptly offer a reward
for the apprehension ot Spencer.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
melon season is drawing to a close
and prices ire away off there is yet a
considerable number of cars shipped
every day. W idoesday quite a number
were shipped, ninety cars, while cn
the same date last year eighty-two
cars went forward. Up to and including
July i2*-h, "1892, 5,663 cars were ship
ped, and up to a corresponding date
this year 3,195. The crop will probas
bly reach 3500 cars this year.
We recently called attention to the
impression, and it is a very general
on**, that two crops, of watermelons
canuui be grown successively on the
same land, and . expressed the hope
that the matter would be investigated,
and ii found true that some remedy
be proposed. The State chemist, Dr.
George F. Payne, has been investigas
ting the subject, and here is what he
says to a reporter of the Constitution:
“This a subject upon which there
appears to be some diversity of opin
ion, yet the bulk of testimony is that
watermelons do not do welt the
second year on the tame land and are
an absolute failure attempted a third
year. As to the cause of this in so
many instances there have been sev
eral explanations advanced by intelli
gent growers. It u positively assert**
ed by a number of observing planters
that it 00 melons are permitted to
becay in the field, and.if every melon
and vine is cleared from the field be
fore rottiog occurs, another good crop
can be raised the succeeding year,
but if the melons, especially, are,. per
mitted to decompose on the ground,
not only will that land do badly the
succeeding year, but if the drainage
water overflows other land, n Jt previ
ously planted in watermelons, this
overflowed land will also make a most
miserable crop if p'anted in melons.
This appears in accord with'
somewhat similar condition of affairs
which sometimes exists in regard to
fruits. It has been observed that if a
few apples or pears are left upon the
trees as too small or impelled to gath
er, many of them become mumified
and hang on upon the limbs until next
season, when each specimen under
the warm rays oi the sun makes itself
felt as a magazine of the spores of
rottenness and disease. Peach growers
corsider it advantageous to permit no
peaches to decay upen the ground,
but to turn, in the hogs and let them
clean up.
A bel’et is eotenained by some
that as most fertil’zers contain princi
pally pnosphorc acid, ammonia, pot
ash and lime it may be that the Geor-
watermelon requires some other
element in larg-s quantities which the
fertilizers da ndt fur fish. These ap
pear to be the leading explanations
and only time wil^ develop if either
correct. Answers can be secured
to the questions by care ful and intel
ligent experiments made in the field.
The work of the state chemist is the
analysis of the samples of fertilizers
taken by the inspectors, yet it would
certainly give me great pleasure to aid
in every way in ray power any one
who may desire to make practical
tests oi the matter.”

In the case of Wade Cothran, con*
yicted of the murder of John F.
Wisenbakcr at last term of Lowndes
superior court, Judge Hansell jyis
granted a new trial to the defendant.
It was known that the family conec-
tion of Wisenbaker was very large
and the judge at the trial required
every juror to answer under oath if
he was related, but even this preacu*.
tion was not sufficient, one of the
jury who tried Cothran was related
and did not know it at the time, and
under the law his ignorance oi the
relationship did not make him
competent juror, and these facts
since appearing and admitted to be
true, Judge Hansell was compelled to
grant the new trial.
Gone Crazy Again.
Old man Reuben Pyles, of Cairo,
was brought here Tuesday by some
of the citizens of that place, who
desired to have him placed in jail for
safe keeping, as he has lost his mind
again. Sheriff Doss would not ac
cept him, however, as no legal steps
had been taken by those who were
anxious to have him taken care of.
The law requires that an application
for a writ of lunacy has to be made,
and until this is done the Sheriff de
clined to take him in charge. -Old
man Reuben has always been of un*
sound mind, and has been to the
asylum several times.
senger train on the S. F. & W. Ry.,
was made Wednesday night. This
made the second attempt within the
past week and has created no little
uneasiness on the part of the railroad
people.
This second effort was made at the
small trestle just in rear of Pine Sum
mit, within the corporate limits of
the town and not more than two hun
dred yards from a number of resi
dences. It is very evident from the
similarity of the plans and mode of
the would-be wrecker that the same
parly made both attempts. The first
attempt waa made at. the high trestle
over the Mitchell mill pond„ branch.
The lust is only a short distance this
ride. As m the first case a cross-tie
tfas placed in an upright position
between the ties of the trestle in the
centre of the track, the end sticking
up some two or three feet. The trestle
just at the bottom of a steep grade
and the train, which was the night
passenger lor Savannah, was of
course going at-a lively rate of speed.
The tie was not a very sound one and
the force ot the lick given it by the
rapidly moving train, smashed it into
kindling wood and allowed the train
to pats oyer unharmed. The engineer
saw the obstruction that had been
placed on the track, but it was im
possiblo for him to stop until after he
had passed over. An examination
was then made winch disclosed the
above facts. The engine struck-the
tie a terrific blow, as the noise bould
be heard distinctly by parties in the
center of town. The railroad people
and the police are at a loss as to who
the would be wrecker is or bis motive
in wanting to wreck the train and
probably kill the people on it. It is
a most diabolical piece of meanness
and it is hoped that the fiend will be
captured and severely punished.
We trust the authorities will leave
nothing undone to ferret out the
scoundrel. If allowed to go on with
his work there is no telling |What will
be the results. His next effort may
be more successful, iu which event
there is certain to be much damage
to property and probably great loss
of life. Hunt him down.
We noticed in Tuesday’s paper
the killing oi Mose Green by Henry
Spencer and also the fact that Sheriff
Dos?, Deputy Singletary and Consta
ble Kottman bad gone out to arrest
the murdarer.
.These officers were joined ever the
river by several others, among whom
were Messrs. Wm. Federick and
Dink Sills, of Ochlockonee. The
patty started out on their hunting
expedition and daring the night the
negro was located in a boosed The
night was intensely dark and the nun
was pouring down in torrents. A
peep into the house through a crack
revealed Spencer sitting in a chair
with his Winchester rifle across his
lap, and he could be heard talking,
boasting o! what he would do with'
the arresting party if they tried to
take him. The sheriff decided that
in view of the darkness it would per
haps be best to wait until daylight
before making the attack. One of
the posse wanted to shoot the negro
through the crack in the house, but
the sheriff would not allow this. All
the time the rain was earning down
in torrents, and each one of the posse
was drenched to the akin. This
state of affairs soon wore out the
patience of the sheriff, and he de
termined to attack the house,
tioning his men around the house he
advanced to within twenty feet of the
door and called to Spencer to surrend
er, telling him that he had the house
surrounded and would Jrill him if he
didn’t. For reply the negro threw
open the windowsshutter and opened
fire on the sherii!.' The officer and
posse returned the fire, which .was
kept up until some twelve or fifteen
shots were fired. The lights in the
house were extinguished in the.mean
time and the family occupying the
house were screaming and begging the
sheriff not to shoot them. Spencer
could not escape through the door or
window without exposing his person
to the fire of the posse, and while the
■officers were deciding on the next
mqve to make, he pulled up a plank
in the floor and made his escape in
the darkness. He passed within a
short distance of one of the posse and
fired two shots at him with a revol
ver, but the officer and his compan
ions could not see and thought it waa
one of their crowd doing the shooting
They did not know that the negro
had made his escape until they heard
him getting over a fence some dis
tance away. Under the circum
stances, in the darkness and rain,
pursuit was both useless and danger
ous and the posse returned to their
homes.
We learn that the negro did not
leave the neighborhood and says that
he does not intend to leave, but will
kill the first officer that comes after
him.
He is reported as saying that he
would kill Mr. Federicka last night,
but those who know Bill Federicks
also know that he is amply able to
take care of himself.
Sheriff Doss has not given up the
hunt and hopes to yet capture the
desperado. To do this, * however, he
will doubtless have to kill him.

The First'New Sweet Potatoes.
Mr. B. T. Gandy, living in the
McDonald neighborhood, bronght the
first new sweet potatoes to market
yesterday. They were fine and sold
readily for one dollar per bushel. The
gentleman will bring io some more in
a few days. Mr. Gandy also brought
some excellent peaches to town which
were disposed ot at a good price. We
learned front him that Mr. B. C. Reese,
a promising young school teacher,
opened a school three mlies from Mc
Donald last Monday with thirty-five
scholars and a number of additions
have been made to the schools since.
Mr. Reese taught formerly at the
same place and is very popular with
pupils, parents and patrons.'
The section of country around Mc
Donald is coming to the front with
good farming lands, good-schools and
churches, good citizens and a new
Tailroad. That portion of the county
will soon rival any section of South

On classes B, K, M, B, the stan
dard tariff with 10 per cent added.
On classes C, D, F, J and P the
standard tariff without percentage.
On rosin, class K, leea 20 per cent.
*On coal and coke: for fifty miles
and under, class L.
For one hundred miles and over
fifty, class L, less 5 per cent.
Over one hundrod miles, class L,
less 10 per cent.
*On lime and ice, the standard
tariff with 10 per cent added,
7. Rule No. 6, of the rules govern
ing the transportation' of passengers,
is hereby amended so as to road as
follows:
“No more than standard passenger
tariff shall be charged passengers from
flag stations or other stations where
tickets are not kept on sale. 1
Speaking of the new schedule oi
rates the Constitution says:
An advance of 15 per cent ia
lowed four linea on a dozen «1—w
freight and 10 per cant is allowed
the Plant system on the nine cleans.
Twenty of the smaller roads get "■

Money Getting Easier.
New York, July r 1.—At several of
the larger banks it was said to-day
that considerable amounts of currency
had been received yesterday and again
this morning.
One large Broadway bank yesterday
received $500,000 in' currency and
gold from the country. Some of the
gold was received back from Califor
nia.
The Fourth National Bank received
$34,000 in currency yesterday from
country correspondents, and to-day its
receipts of currency by the first express
delivery amounted to $185,000 with
lot more in sight.
As an indication of easier conditions
prevailing it was reported to-day that
many country banks were remitting
currency here and getting back some
ot their bills receivable, which they
had rediscopoted here three or tour
weeks ago,faking advantage of course
ot the rebate in discount for the unex-
plied time.
At all the larger banks to-day it
was said that the demands from cut of
town customers for accommodation
were lighter than they had been tor
weeks.

Everybody who attended the mem
orable democratic convention that
nominated Hod. Ben E. Russell for
Congress last summer will remember
“Uncle” Reuben Files, of near Cairo,
Thomas county, as one of the. most
conspicuous characters present.
He made lots of fan for. the boys.
He made his first appearance in the
hall, having just arrived oa a belated
train that came in with a crowd from
down the S. F. ft W. R’y, while Capt.
W. M. Hammond was speaking to the
assembled politicians on the night be‘
fore the convention met, _ The hall
was packed, and Go). Hammond held
the attention of every one. Just as
the speaker was in the midst ot ope of
his eloquent flights, and while the
great crowd was as still and orderly as
a church congregation, “Uncle” Reu
ben entered and exclaimed—
“Many faces do I see!"
And, withont halting or even re
moving his broad-brimmed sombrero,
he marched np toward the stage. He
worked his way up to the front and
took a seat on the edge of the plat
form.
The next time “Uncle" Reuben
opened his mouth it was when Capt
Hammond had reached a paragraph in
his great speech and had announced
the subjet of the remarks next to fol
low—something about the third
party—and everybody in the hall
heard these unctions words, as ‘Unde’
Reuben rose and waved his hand as
it about to pronounce a benediction;
Stand still and hear the salvation
of the Lord.”
And ever and anon, during the two
day’s session ot the convention that
followed, “Unde” Reuben would ex'
claim at some critical point in the
proceedings: “Stand still and hear the
salvation of ot the Lord!”
But poor “Uocle” Reuben has gone
crazy. We feel sure that all the
‘boys’’ who were here at the conven
tion and were made to laugh by his
droll sayings and grnif mannerisms
will be sorry to hear of his misfortune.
Few, if any, who wers in that re
markable convention will forget Reu
ben Pyles and the many dramatic inci
dents connected with the convention.
Uucle Reuben finally, and with the
air of a Roman Senator, took a seat
beside the chairman of the convention
on the stage. He sat there tit digni
fied silence and watched the swaying,
sweating masses, which completely
packed the hall. The old man was a
moss back ot moss backs. The light
of intelligence, however, is gradually
drifting away from him.
