THE COLORED RACE OF GEORGIA.
We did not know how to prop
erly appreciate our Georgia darkeys
until we went to Virginia and saw
the fever and excitement into which
the negroes ol that state are wrought.
It is hard to get work out of them
and in many sections of the state
they are turbulent and dangerous.
In Georgia, the greatest harmony
prevails between the two races, and
they are working together as
Smoothly as One could ask. We
believe that at tne next election, if
unscrupulous white candidates don’t
try and corrupt these people by the
use ol money,and they, arc left to an
exercise their own free will, that a
majority of them will go to the polls
•and voluntarily vote with the
whites. The negroei now see that
a democratic victoiy don’t mean
political enslavement or oppression
10 them, but that they arc protect
ed alike with the white*. What
benefits one race is. sure to in'/re to
the pre perity of the other. Now,
if ambitious politicians will only
let the negroes of Georgia 1 alone,
»ou will soon see a new

The winter’s rains have fairly set

this old relic to paying off her

enter our earnest protest against
bringing it again forth from the re
tirement to which it will soc.n be
consigned. We are aware of-the
fact that fliis proposition lops off a
large slice from the income of our
worthy blacksmith, Mr. McKinnon,
but then, one man has no right to
pile up wealth at the expense of
the toiling masses. Wc have made
rough estimate, and find that for
every halt-pint of water put upon
the dust of Athens through the me
dium of this street sprinkler, it cost
the people exactly 8} cents. In
fact, the city would have made
money by sprinkling our thorough
fares with Lubin’s extracts or rose
water. The early history of this
old watering (art is veiled in mys
tery, and doubtless dates back to
the Dark Ages. An antiquarian,
who inspected it, contends that the
machine was originally designed for
Roman battering ram, and was
used by Titus at the siege of Jerusa
lem; another says it was the model
from which the great Heidelburg
Tun was built, while Some go
even further back, and contend that

barrel, that it must have been one

and paid for in a depreciated cur

part of the apparatus is a wad of

the alarm bell was sounded and it
was soon discovered by the bright
light in the eastjhat a 'fi^e was ragi
ing in Cobbhatit. Tlfe ’. news soon
reached the.'firemen . that Mf. John
Talbttfdge^s house wason'fire. It was
a long distance out, but this did not
de'er, them in the least, as they all
remembered the gallant services
rendered by Mr. Talmadge in many
a conflict with the devouring ele
ment, and nobly did the firemen re
spond when they, learned that one
of their members was in t trouble.
The Babcock, with its pair of roans,
came first in a lull run, and next
came a steamer, with a pair of mules
attached thereto, it making lirst rate
time up and down the hills to the
fire. The streets were lined with
old and young, going to the scene
of destruction. .They reached xthe
house too ia'e to save the building,
but went to> [work to get out ..the
furniture and succeeded in saving
the most of it, although a great.deal
of the heavy furniture was badly
damaged by moving it from the up
per story. Mr. Talmadge was in
sured on his house for $1,500 and
the furniture $^00. This is one of
the prettiest places in Cobbham,
surrounded by a beautiful grove of
trees, which were parched and
charred by the terrible heat from
the burning building. The firemen
did everything in their power to save
the building, but they had ran so
far that a great many were overcome
by the heat and could do but very
little after they reached the scene.
Mr. Ed. Dorsey suffered considera
bly from getting overheated, and
had to have a doctor with him after
he reached the fire. Mr. Talmadge
moved all of his lurniture into the
Rock College. He will erect anoth
er house as soon as the arrangements
can be made, in front ot the old site.
Mrs. Talmadge lost sverything in
her pantry, including the preserves,
pickles, etc., that she had put up for
winter’s use, together with the
kitchen furniture and a good deal
of silverware.. We visited the scene
of the conflagration Sunday after
noon, and the ruins were still smok
ing, the debris being littered with
scraps of iron, charred vegetables
and other articles that were con
sumed with 'the building. Mr. Tal
madge and lady bore their heavy
loss, with heroic fortitude, and this
excellent couple have the sympathy
of our entire people. The firemen
deserve great praise for saving the
outbuildings, for had these caught
the barn and othci houses would
have' been consumed. ,A11 of our
firemen did their dhty nobly, and

EoyisviLLK, Septt 46.—It is re-'

much excitement at Frankfort and
at Bagdad, Ky., a village near Frank
fort, and there will probably be a
lynching before morning of several
attaches ot the Davis circus, wbq
were arrested here and taken to
Frankfort, charged with highway
robbery. J. B. Weber,A. Schofield,
A. Miles and J.*B. Turner, of Bag.
dad, Ky., boarded the train to go to
Frankfort to see the show. They
paid their .fare and soon afterward,
at the point of several pistols, which
were leveled at them, were made to
turn over all their valuables, watch
es, rings, etc., and a small amount
of money. The robbers then made
them jump from the train, which
was runningata rapid rate of speed,
and were injured by the jump. We
ber and Schofield both had their
legs broken, and the former will not
be able to walk again. Mills had a
leg broken. Turner escaped with
painful bruises. The men arrested
are Richard White, William Can-
roll, Paul McWade, George Millet,
John Boyd arid John Martin, j It is
reported on the. street hem at S
o’clock that six of the men have
been hanged, hut the rumor has not
yet been confirmed. The prisoners
were confined in the jail af Frank

that officer remarked;
“You have been discharged, sir,
at my instructions, and I do not
want you again on the road so long
as 1 am at its head.”
This was a settler, and. it was not
until some time afterwards that the
man learned that his “Hurrah for
Felton!’' lost him a good job.
' At the same time our old hotel
friend Lacy, who now lives at Lula,
kept an eating house on the W. &
A. road, and was doing a good bus
iness. He had always been a warm
personal friend to Gov. Brown, and
that gentleman and his family never
passed without stopping to see
him. Mr. Lacy was ^also favor
able to Dr. Felton. He received
one of the circulars, but being a
man of his own head, paid n > at
tention to it, and stated that if he
voted at all it would be for Felton.
His friends advised him to recon
sider, as Gov. Brown could ruin his
business, as he'spared neither
friend nor foe who disobeyed . his
commands. But Mr. L* persisted
in exercising his preference. As
soon as the election was over, an
order came to change the eating
house for trains, and also instruc

“Yes, replied the count, much to

Cboked at the Dinner Table With tbe Half
of a Sweet Potato.
New Havks, Sept. 26.—William
Berwick, aged 47 years, and who
was employed in a livery stable,
went to his boarding house to-day-
in a partially intoxicated condition
and sat down to the dinner table.
He. xvas helped to a sweet potato
and a piece of roast beef. Then
his landlady had occasion to leave
the room, and Berwick was alone
at the table. When she returned
he was at the table, clutching his
knife and fork in his glands, and he
was black in the face. Half the
sweet potato lay on his plate. She
ran for assistance, and two men car
ried hitn into the rear yard, where
he could have air. He lived only a
minute ar two, having been choked
to death by the half of a sweet po

indignation as the result. The
faithful cannot be made to believe
that the “little boss” is without
funds. It does not seem probable
to them that he, who has relied so
much in times past on boodle to
carry him through, can have em
barked upon so great an enterprise
as his own political self-preserva
tion, at a most perilous time, with
out having made complete provis
ion for the emergency. But the
“little boss” is telling them the
truth. He hasn’t a dollar outside
of the sum he has raised at home,
and which, it is unnecessary to say,
is altogether too meagre to meet the
present pressing want.
He rails at the republicans of the
north for deserting him in his need.
They have sent him nothing and
they ptomise him nothing. He is
not niggardly himse’.f, and his
check is good for thousands, but
not the whole of his private fortune
he sees, would redeem the day, and
so why throw it away in cheap'
bravado? He will fight on to the
end, but he is said to be greatly de
pressed.
Meanwhile the democrats are do
ing wonders in the way of arousing
enthusiasm and recruiting to their
ranks. So much spirit has not
been observed in the state in a
quarter of a ; century. The young

strangers got into a dispute and
then had a rough and tumble fight
over the weight of a bale of cotton,
but they were separated by the by
standers. Shortly after, however,
the n :n renewed their fight, and
mutually agreed, in order that neith
er should have an advantage over
the other; that they should clasp
theiV left hands together and fight
only with their right hands. Thus
arranged, each man, with a revolver
in his right hand, began the bloody
work. Seven shots were exchang
ed, qne ot the men fell dead with
four-bullets in his head -and breast,
whilh the other ‘sank dying from
two or three desperate wounds.

A GOOD STOBY ON AN EDITOR.
The following story is told of Mr.
James R. Randall, a former Balti
morean, and now editor of the Au
gusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist: He
attended one day a colored church
in the country, and'had in his pocket
a silver half-dollar, just the fare back
to Augusta. At the conclusion ol
his sermon the minister ordered a
collection for his own benefit “Of
course,” said he, “I s’pects every_
pusson to gib sumthin; but
I’se told dat Mr. Thomas,
up de road yonder, had some
turkeys stole Friday night. I don’t
want any man who had a han’ in
stealin’ dem turkeys to put any
money in de plate.” When the
plate reached Mr. Randall not a
man had refused to contribute, and
the preacher’s eyes were on him.
His half-dollar accordingly went
into the plate.

His funeral took place to-day, and
