Elbert was the remaining hope, and it was eren whispered that another Ogle thorpe Bcrape would be perpetrated and this intelligent little counts was looked upon by the Reese men as being their onty hope. The Carlton men felt confident, for they knew who wero at work for them, and they never faltered, and when the following dispatch was re ceived they sent up a shout: Ei.hkkton, Ga., July 17.—Carlton re ceived 443, a ad Reese 140. 1’eiU clos ed We 8end*greetings.

Wilkes county had determined to keep open until C o'clock, and allow every body to put in their ballot, and it was hoped, but very faintly, that there still might l»e a chance, but when the news reached Athens that the good old county of Wilkes had given the gallant Capt.

HIM fIGHT PROCEED." A Talk With an Old Athena Boy. Fox Galloway is an Athens hoy ami o tint our little city feels justly proud of. His father, dim Galloway, is a horn engineer, and the son followed in the footsteps of the father in many respects, dim Galloway is one of the most careful j men that ever pulled the throttle on an I engine, and when tin* passengers know that dim is on theengine they feel safe. ' Fox lias a vein of humor and fun in his | c mposition that he cannot c introl. If I there is any reckless running to be done I or fast time to lie made Fox is a’ways I put on tin- engine, and he never feels , happier than when his engine is going a j mile a minute. Fox is otr for a few days In attend the wedding of his relative, l Mr. W. F. Dorsey, and in conversation 1 with Fox, lie says he has quieted down j since lie has been on the dug Tavern I road, that he has never had an accident I nr a run-olf since he lias been on that ■ road. "Yon can stake your last dollar,” I said Fox, "that 1 used to whoop her up I on the North-Kastern, as the citizens of | Harmony Gtotc will testify, when 1 ran I through there during a big exhibition. They came very near mobbing me for creating such a disturbance. 1 got dis charged from the North-Kastern because I tired up my engine for Capt. Carlton ; and caught the train before it got to Harmony Grove Capt. Carlton got to 1 the North-Kastern depot too late to take the morning train, and I agreed to catch the train with my engine if he would stand between me and a discharge. He consented, and I pulled her wide open and caught the train before it got to Harmony Grove, t was discharged for q, but ( apt. Carlton lind me reinstated. I am out of his district, hut a mail with his energy and push can’t hi kept down, and if I could do him any good 1 would do it." Fox is a good hoy, and has built up a big reputation as an engineer. His friends in Athens are always glad to see him. Makes. Large purchase of Lauq and Jer sey!. “Cloverdale farm has been sold, with everything on it,” said a gentleman on the street yesterday morning. ‘•What?” said the reporter, who was standing near with eyes and ears awake and on the lookout for a bit of news, “not Hunnicutt & Vaneev’s Jersey farm?” “The same,” replied the informer, as he placidly puffed at his cigar. “The whole affair has been sold and no mis take. The sale was consummated last Monday, but for private reasons, buyer and sellers kept the trade a secret until an hour ago.” “Why, who in the world has bought the farm?” inquired the reporter, as vis ions of millionaires and bloated- bond holders flitted through his brain. “It must have cost $75,000.” “I don’t know what it cost. If you will go down and interview our clever friend, C. D. McKie, on Thomas street, perhaps he can enlighten you as to the price paid for it. as it is he who is now the owner of Cloverdale. with all its fine Jerseys, growing crops, excellent. pas tures and all improvements.” The reporter immediately bent his steps down Broad street and up Thomas, where there is a modest little store which bears on its sign board the name of “C. 1). McKie.” “Hello," we saluted, “I understand that yau have gone into the Jersey busi ness?” “Yes,” replied our friend, quietly, “I have purchased Cloverdale.” “Going to build you a fine residence and move right out, I suppose, live a glorious farmer's life, revel in fresh pas tures, mild-eyed Jerseys, thoroughbred stock and tine crops.” “Not quite so romantic as all that,” re plied Mr. McKie, “I don’t know that 1 shall move at all—certainly not now, but I shall keep up Cloverdale’s reputation for the finest Jerseys in the South, and continue to give the people of Athens the best milk in the state.” “Well, tell us about your purchase. “There is nothing to tell,” replied Mr. McKie, “except that 1 have bought the farm, just as it stands. It comprises four hundred and thirty acres of the best land in thfs section, and about fifty very tine Jerseys; sixty or seventy acres are in wheat and about thirty in the pret tiest clover you ever saw, with a good deal in oats, corn, cotton and pasture land." “The purchase must have amounted to fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars?” we remarked. “Yes, possibly more, possibly less. The public will not care particularly about the price.” “Well, so long. I’ll come outandlook at your place arid your cattle the first chance 1 get,” and off we went, thinking how much truth there is in the trite old saying, “Where there’s a witl there's way,” for Mr. McKie has verified it. Ten years ago lie came to Athens from Banks county, with few friends and less money. He sought work and obtained a clerkship in the hardwaie store Messrs. Childs & Nickerson, and by close attention to business and a quiet, gentlemanly demeanor, he rapidly rose, and in a few years was able to purchase the store he now runs on Thomas and Clayton streets, where again regular business habits and progressiveness have enabled him to amass a snug little fortune. A Woman Dedans the ftyle to be Immod- •St Mrs. H- W. Beecker In Brooklyn Magazine. The decolleette style ot dress is not only wrong and in poor taste, but it is immodest and indecent Mothers who ailow it commit a great sin; those who not only allow it for their children, but practice it themselves, do even worse. They are “Sowing sorrow. For their moln* by end by.” Leaving aside ior the moment the question of loss of modesty and delicacy which must follow, the injury to the health alone is a mat ter calling for grave consideration. We have watched by the bed sides of those who for a lew mo ments enjoyment and the pleasure of feeling thfey were dressed “in style” were stricken down in the full freshness and beauty of young girlhood. We have seen the agony of the mother as she stood power- lessly watching this battle of life, and in the contest the thought would be ever present: “If God spares the child, will the mother heed the warning, or will the tyrant fashion conquer again.” But the danger of sacrificing health and life itaelt, painful as it it to our mind, is not so much to be thought of as the effect which such unreasonable and immodest fashions must and do have on the character of our young girls. It it not poss ible that they can practice such ex posure of their persons without losing, in a large degree, the sweet ness, delicacy, and modesty, which is the greatest charm in woman’s character. And if the young ] maidens now emerging from girl hood, and prepared to take their place in tociety as young ladies, are allowrd to be ruled in such matters so entirely by the freaks and capri ces of this fickle goddess, when they have had their day and became wives and mothers, what is the pros pect for their children? It is great folly to be thus govern - ed, and deplorable when one sees who much precious time is wasted, how lavish y money is thrown away for that wii c i profiteth not. But the injury done to woman’s charac ter wheif to be dressed in style means nothing less than to be dress ed i m modestly, is the worst feature and what we cannot but fear wilt paralyze, if not destroy, that refined and sensative modesty which every woman should prize and always regard as her most precious inheri tance. If a young girl, passing from her own chamber to that of her mother or sister in her pretty “robe de nuit,” is accidentally met in the passage by her brother or his friend, she shrieks and runs back, in the greatest alarm and agitation. Why should she? She is perfectly clothed and sheltered, but not in the ordinary dress. Yet this same easily-frightened and sensative young lady, in the dance, or in gen eral conversation with any number of young gentlemen, w ill stand be fore them unblushingly with arms bare the whole length, and with bare neck and shoulders, and talking and laughing without one fear or thought that she is exposing herself much more immodestly than she could possibly do in her pigut robes. “There is something rotten injour State of Denmark” which calls loudly lor a speedy remedy.

Her death here early on Friday morning recalls to me vividly the frightful spectacle she presented at the Grand Prix. completely broken down in health, almost decrepit, and abandoned by her former com panions. Her withered lace bore the marks of a peculiar anguish. This woman came to Paris as a mere child immediately alter the Crimean war. She stood for many years at the apex of Parisian dissi pation, rising at one bound to a height of luxury which rivalled that of the Imperial Court. Her car riage, for instance, was no less gor geous than that of the Emperor and Empress, when the two met in the Bois. She was essentially a vulgar woman, with comparatively few physical charms an I certainly _ no intellectual ones. All her fascina tion came from her rxcellent horse- womanship. The money of her admirers wrs used by her for the establishment ol most elaborate sta bles, filled with wonderful horse-, on one of which she has always been seen in pnblic upon any dis tinguished occasion. She died in a mean tenement house in the Rue Bissano, attend ed in her last illness by the parish doctor, leaving behind her barely effects enough to pay her last quar ter's rent. She was a person of most forbidding avarice, W'thnut a spark of consideration for the sco'e of men whom she uttt rly ruined. The last of these was young Duval, son of the mao who e»t ihli .hed the well-known Res'diiraots D.ival. He came into po»»e-»ran ot his fa ther’s enormous fortune, and spent upon her in two years sev n een millions of Irancs. At the end of that time she refused to see him. One day he forced his way into her room and endeavored to blow out his brains before her, but he only fell, badly wounded, upon the bale blue carpet of htr boudoir. She is said to have called her sei - vants to come in to prevent him soiling any more her beautiful car pet. The last money she spent was blackmail she procured from a doz en or more distinguished people, who paid large sums to keep their names out ot her “Mem > rs,” a vol ume of stupid ruhbisn winch Jules Levy was foolish enough to publish several months ago.

Some of this money has reached our city, and the treasurer of one of our most popular churches informs us that one of those slick pieces had found its way into the hat.

He bought cigars in Union Point and \Voodville, and after looking over his change found several pieces of this slick fet ling money in his posses sion.

On Sunday he and Jones, the Boine forger, brought the matter to a head, and Monday morning the insurrection was sprung among the coke oven hands, who occupy stockade o. 2, at the terminus of the Dade ceal company's road, and two miles from the other camps. The insurrectionists renewed the de mands which they had formulated into a platform. They demanded the removal of Kilpatrick, their squad boss. They demanded better fare, and that the strap* os a method of punishment, be abolish ed. Colonel John It. Towers, principal keeper of the penitentiary, who had been here for three days, would not listen to any of the so-called demands, nor hear any grievances so long as the convicts ere in a state of insurrection. Col. Towers went into the quarters, and Jones and Echols said they would have their platform agreed to, or they would have to be brought out dead. •Then,” said the Colonel, “you will be brought out dead.’’ Col. Towers then sent the following telegram: llenry D.

Others followed Echols, who semmed glad of the chance get out.

Ferdinand Ward has been inter viewed at Sing Sing pris «n with regard to James D. Fish’s version of the relations between the two men, which was recently published in trie New York World. Ward pronounced Fish’* statements fal-e detail and in implica ion. He produced a letter from F sh in which the letter asked for $100,000 or 50,000 for a lew days, to straigh ten things at the bank with the ex aminers. Ward said he could tasi- have escaped with millions, but did not keep a dollar, while he in sisted that Fish still had plenty of money. He said: I made out a statement of Fish's account very carefully w.iile I was Ludlow street jail, just the same I did in Warner’s case. When the decision was made against War ner my figures didn't vaiy $100,000 from what he was declared to have received. Remember that these transactions aggregated $60,000,000 and there were several checks I could uot find that had been lost somehow. Fish’s account could be identified just the same, for the checks can be traced.,and there are the entries in the books. Now, what has become of the $1,000,000 figured out he received? As I said, he couldn’t have spent it. He slept up over the bank in a room, the furniture for which I afterwaids had to pay lor, and he took his meals at my house. But he was al ways making presents to his chil dren. My idea is that they have ot the money or the most 01 it now. "e did not turn over $300,000 to his assignee, and he has plenty of it still or wheie he could' get it. “There are people right here in this prison who think 1 have got a lot of money—a million or so stow ed away. But I am poor; I havn’l anything, although I don’t suppose you could make the public think so. They tell all suits of stories about my family, and about me, fur that matter. My wife is living on $t,- 500 a year, ami ali these yarns about her aflairs are out of whole cloth. The worst part of my punishment is in being so mist ept earned.

But Mr JohnYton is a fair man, and if he once gets after Davies he can make him show the books.

H s friends here wonder why he is so lucky, but there is something more than luck in his success. He has in his employ a man in whose judgment he has the most implicit faith. This man is upon the track every day, and is a well known sport. The Congressman pays him a salary of $100 a week tor the fur nishing of information relative to the horses. The consequence is that the investment has been a very profitable one for the Congressman. Among his notable winnings this year was about $20,000 onTrouba- dor. The odds given were seven to one. Occasionally this Congress man lets out some of his advance information to a tew intimate friends. Then there is always a rush to the pool rooms. Lieut. Sale's lniaiuauuu, eu .se Interna tional Bother that Grew Out of It. In April last the cable announced that the Por.uguese consul at Zan zibar had h-iuleti down his flag and was abom to depart in high dud geon. For several days there was a great tempest iu a teapot, and then things quieted dovvit and gave lookets on a chant* to find out what the rumpus was ail about. It was learned that the strained re lations between the two govern ments had grown out of the love affairs of Lieutenant Sale, the son ot a Portuguese count, who held a commission in the artny of the Sul- tan of Zanzibar. This festive young man met the comely daughter ot a well-to-do Arab merchant and fell violently in love with her. He cared not a cent tor all me belies ol Portugal, but he couldjt’l live without ibis dusky beaniy ot Zanzibar. She declined to marry him because he was il Ro man Catholic. That stumbling block was easily removed. Lieut. Sale abjured Catholicism, suddenly blossomed out as a devout follower of Mohammed, and soon after the love-smitten convert and the Arab belle were married. Tne honeymoon did not last very long. Lieutenant Sale soon grew tired of a wife who couldn't read or write and had seen nothing of the world outside of Zanzibar. He suddenly became reconverted to the Roman Catholic faith and deserted his bride. He then decided that the cli nate of Zanzibar was very unhealthy, and applied to the Sul tan for a long leave of absence. The doctor of the Sultan felt the young man’s pulse and pronounced hint perfectly well. The Sultan there upon told the Lieutenant that he was a fraud and a base deceiver and clapped him into jail without any ceremony. The Sultan, it happened, had agreed some time belore that the Portuguesse Consul-General should have the right to fix the punish ment of Portuguese offenders. As the Consul-General had not been consulted in this case, he made things unpleasant for his Highness Said Bargash, and finally nauled down his flag, a proceeding that the Sultan could not contemplate with indifference when Portugal was looking enviously at a bit of his African territory, and was not unwiling to pick a chance to quar tet. So said Bargash hastened to apologize, Lieut. Sale marched out of jail with an indemnity in his pocket, and the flag floated again from the Portuguese consulate. STOTTS PURE HALT "WHISKY. What It Is. It Is a superior brand ot pare whisker, Ita cbiet merit being that It Is distilled by a secret process discovered by us In 1880, whereby every trace ot fusel oil and other Injurious substances are eliminated. It ts the only whiskey of the kind manufac tured la the world and it is the only abso lutely pure whiskey on the market. While as a whiskey aud for every purpose to which a whtsKoy Is put, cither as a medicine or drink, it is unequalled by any other whiskey, it is, owing to its absolute we-oava tiuioau/, 1* 19, uniUJJ tU ltd UUSUiUDJ parity especially fitted (or medicinal pur poses. Another peculiar feature of it Is that It Is the only whiskey that will stay on the stomach of Invalids and debilitated persons, and combining, as It does, a food quality with that of a stimulant. It Is tho only whiskey that ought to be used In tho treatment of the sick: and a still further feature that in whatever quautity It is consumed, there are no after effects from it such as are experienced from the use of other whiskies containing fusel oil and other poisons. Being a superior brand of pure whiskey distilled from the very best, materials, it is of necessity an expensive one and by the demand created for it as such among consumers, dealer* are virt ually compelled to handle It. although at • profit to them of about one-fourth nt what Is usually made on other whiskies, such as many of them have the reputa tion of keeping. For this reason we )vould Impress upon our friends the Importance of demanding oars as the only pure whis key, and we warn them.

Rose, of Ohio, would like to give the people of this country the benefit of ptactical long distance telephony. He has invented an in strument which accomplishes this perfectly over long stretches ol wire. But the patents secured by the bell telephone forbid the use of anv instrument for jhe transmission of articulate sound by electricity, and although Dr. Rose’s application is at the Washington Fatcnt Office, under the seal of secrecy, he cannot secure a patent. Some European countries however, are more friend ly, and Thursday, at 11 o’clock, he sailed in the Adriatic for Gothen- buag, Sweden. The sweedish government has enitre charge of the telephone service, and a few of th : Bell instruments are in use there, it did not deny Dr. Rose’s patent, however, and letters will he issued o him as soon as his claims are established on the continent. Ar rangements have been made for a public test of his instrument in Sweden, snd his trip abroad is to enable him to be present at the test. Dr. Rose claims to be able to speak and hear with ease and satis faction with his instrument over a distance of 2,000 miles. Public tests have already been made over coils ot that length of wire, and recently a loop ot 1,120 miles long was run into Ohio. Over this the slightest inflection of the voice could be easily heard, and conver sation was catried on with case. For commercial purposes 1.000 miles is fixed as the convenient dis tance, and the telephone will be constructed for that purpose. The secret of the Rose telephone is the possibility of increasing the power of the electric current with out fusing the delicate point be hind the carbon diaphragm. Then while Dr. Rose uses thirty-two cells upon Bell instrument can stand a battery of two cells only, while Dr. Rose was thirty-two cells upon his circuit, without damage to the mechanism. A long cooper loop will be erected by the Swedish government for testing the phone, and if the test is satisfactory the in struments will be manufactured in New York city for exportation. Dr. Rose is an electrician of note. He filed at Washington an applica tion for atmospheric telegraphy a lew days before the Phelps letters covering it were issued. ni c« ri t Tied.

The mar riage occurred late in the afternoon and during the evening the couple held a reception, which waa voted one of the most elaborate society incidents of the early summer. At io o’clock the bride and groom de parted, es it was supposed, on an extending wedding tour. They carried a big trunk along, and the guests made a big ado over their departure. Instead of driv ing to the depot, however, the hackman steered his* horses down to a little seaport town a few miles distant. When this place waa reached the couple did not alight, but ordered the Jehu to hasten back to the home of the bride’s parents. Two hours after their departure the bride and groom arrived . home and scored tke shortest bridal jaunt on record.

It a man has lost only a part of his hand, he is not entitled to the allowance for the loss ol an “arm below the elbow.” II only a part of a foot has been amputated, the applicant is not entitled to the sum allowed for a “leg amputated below the knee.” The law at present makes no pro vision for any kind ot a disability except for an arm or leg.
