IS IT TOTAL DEPRAVITY?
Tho recent exposure of the gang of
railroad robbers on the Pan Handle Road
is perhaps one of the most remarkable
^clyjpters in criminal history that the
' # ^^orbl has yet become acquainted with.
Here was a great railroad system extend
ing for several hundred miles through a
thickly populated country, over which
freight trains travelled in sections, each
section composed of many trains, many
times during the day. The employes of
tho_iailroajr were numerous, and the
Tv me nee shows that conductors, front,
middle iind rear brakemen, tlagmon,
switchmen, station men, employes al-
withoul exception, save the engi-
and firemen, were concerned in the
olesale robbery that for years had
n lessening the receipts of the road.
The operations of the gang were con
ducted as follows: *Thj conductors and
other employes concerned would slip the
seals with which the doors of the freight
cars were fastened, and take from the
cars freight of every description, carry
it back to the caboose, where it would be
locked up, and when the train reached
the end of the lino, the freight would lie
taken to dens called “fences,” where the
freight would be disposed of, and tho
proceeds divided between the crews of
the trains. It was necessary to the suc
cess of the scheme that all tho men on
the train should bo into it, with the ex
ception of the engineer and fireman, and
it is a remarkable fact, that though hun
dreds of employes composed the organ
ised scheme, not one of them by word,
deed, or hint, dropped a single remark
that indicated the existence of any such
conspiracy. It was only after a year or
two of the closest, smartest and most
vigilant detective work, that the rascals
were found out, and sutlicient evidence
obtained to convict them of their crimes.
TI is remarkable again, that out of so
many men who had to he approached in
the matter, whose consent and conni
vance was necessary to the success of
the scheme, not one spurned the offer or
proposal as insulting to his manhood,
and informed his superiors of the nefa
rious designs of the conspiracy.
lVrhaps, in all the history of criminal
misdeeds, a scheme so gigantic, and com
posed of so many persons, and so suc
cessfully operated for so long a time, has
never been exposed before. It stands
without a rival in, criminal history. It
defied ik-tej-Uqn for so many years, and
4*M;MKiitamling tlie number engaged in
it, and the boldness with which the work
was frequently performed, no evidence
could be secured against tho men, until
detectives finally were stationed the
whole length of the road, and watched
each train as it pulled out from the
yard at one end of the line until it rolled
in the depot at the other, hun
dreds of miles away.
The thieves were fastidious and dis
criminating in their tastes. Cars loaded
with local freight were not bothered l>y
them. Time was too precious and the
danger too great to fool with small game,
and so the conspirators gave their atten
tion to the cars loaded with bonded
freight from the east, containing the rich
goods of foreign looms, and the costly
thousand and one articles that are daily
shpiped west from the palace trade
houses of the great metropolis.
Such an organization makes one lose
fuith in the honesty of human nature.
One cannot contemplate such a gigantic
scheme of corruption without wondering
if there is honesty anywhere. It looks
as if there might have been one honest
man in the hundreds of l’an Handle cm-
ployees. probability the cor
ruption would have continued on unin
terrupted, had not the paid detectives
been sharper than the thieves. The doc
trine of total depravity is not generally
believed, but such organizations as we
have briefly sketched, go a good way to
ward making tlis belief in total depravi
ty a very general one.
FOREST GROWTH.
The railroad gang of rubbers recently
unearthed were bound by the most aw
ful oaths to secrecy.
Cannot President Hampton persuade
Mr. Cleveland to take in the Northeast
Georgia Fair?
A female banker in Iloston 1ms skip

After being buried twenty two years
Abraham Lincoln's body was interred a
few days ago in its final resting pl ice.
No pemp or parade marked the occasion.
It seems strange that ltlsine, who was
rejected by a very respectable element of
bis own party on account of bad char
acter, should again offer for the Presi-
dency.
The Georgia Pacific Railroad has been
completed. This will enable the Mis
sissippi people who have been investing
in Birmingham real estate to take a short
lit e home.
It looks strange to see a scholarly
paper printed every morning in a new.
town like Anniston. Scholarly refine
ment is supposed to belong to old and
well established communities, and An
niston 'is to be congratulated upon secur
ing at once what other places strive for
years to obtain.
Mr. Jefferson Davis, a few years ago,
showed very conclusively that General
Sherman was rather economical with
the truth; and new it is said that the late
General Logan’s forthcoming book will
forcibly clinch the popular belief that
Sherman is a falsifier. Yerily. the way
of the transgressor is hard.
AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.
OUR SUNDAY CHAT.
It is thought that when the Georgia
legislature convenes in summer session
it will in all likelihood remain in session
until the inter-state commerce bill is re
pealed.
The steel cruiser, Atlanta, was given
its final trial on Thursday, and proved
itself equal to all the requirements. This
circumstance will doubtless cause the
average Atlanta man to swell with pride
The Senatorial question lias doubled
up the Florida Democracy like a spring
cucumber. Senator Jones has withdrawn
from the race and lias gone to Detroit.
Messrs. Rloxliain and Perry are rival
contestants. Governors both!
When our new railroad map is laid be
fore the people, as it will he shortly, it
will be a revelation. Few people realize
the truth of tho assertion that Athens is
rapidly becoming u railroad centre.
The Democrats and laboring men
New York are gleeful over the veto of
the high license bill by Gov. Hill. This
measure was known as the Crosby bill
and enforced a thousand dollar liquor li
cense for large cities. They declared
that the bill was an effort to rob the poor
man of the privilege of taking a beverage
which the nabob could enjoy at his club.
The Atlanta Constitution asks in a tone
of disgusted petulance is Georgia to be
represented at the American Expo
sition in England? Of course it wiA
be! Athens already hason exhibi
tion an ice machine and a feather
bed renovator. Let Atlanta send up
a slice of the Piedmont Fair and a crack
team from the Driving Hark Association.
Eighteen months ago President Cleve
land was a very unpopular man, for the
reason that he was pursuing his present
course. To-day, President Cleveland is
an exceedingly popular ruler, for the rea
son that he lias faithfully adhered to his
original programme. This is a strange
world, and we are mighty strange people.
Saved His Life.
Mr. D. I. Wilcox son. of Horse Cave,
Kv„ savs be was, lor mauv years, bad-
ly'alllicb d with Phthisic,also Diabetes;
tlie pains were almost unendurable and
would sometimes almost throw him into
convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters
and got relief from first botile and after
taking six liottlcs. was entirely cured,
and bad gained intlesheigliteen’pounds.
Says he positively believes he would
have died, bad it tint been for the relief
afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold at
fifty cents a bottle by Long & Co.
The Bubgi.ar.—The letter that we
published yesterday from the burglar
was a genuine document, and post-mark-

Oi-It people should bear in mind that I written by the burglar who broke into
next fall it is proposed to have a fair
here that will exceed all previous efforts
in that direction. So when you plant
your truck, plant an acre or two for tlie
fall fair.
Talbot county comes to the front with
a genuine sensation in the shape of a
strange verdict in regard to the crime of
bigamy. Juries in that county seem to
think tk&t a man has the right to as many
wives as he wants.
Fulton county juries are gainingstate
reputations. One has recently decided
that the rate of interest charged by
building and loan associations is usurious.
This jury has been attacked by the press.
It is contrary to public policy to hit such
associations below the belt.
The Florida Scnatorship is still a mat
ter of doubt. Bloxham and Perry, both
democrats, are running pretty evenly
for the office. Our old friend Jones, of
Detroit fame, got out of the race several
days ago. It is admitted that the Detroit
episode cooked his goose.
Anv man who will sit down In front of
a well filled monkey cage and think of
the lists of his acquaintances while be is
watching the monkeys, will get up with
adecided leaning towards the Darwinian
theory.
Ot'R trade issue will come out on time
and will be published as soon as the elec
tro plated map arrives from New York.
The advertising columns are filling up,
and unless you are quick about it you
will fail to get in your card. Don't al
low this misfortune to overtake you.
The death of Capt. John W. Mont
gomery, of Madison county, removes one
of the finest farmers anil best men in
Middle Georgia. The life of such a man
is worth thousands to bis neighbors
His example should stimilate planters

The Florida Legislature yesterday
adopted resolutions expressing sympa
thy with the Irish people. When the
fact is considered that Detroit Jones is a
native of the Emerald Isle, it will be seen
that these resolutions have a deeper sig
nificance than would at first sight be ini-
gined.
The attention which timber and for
estry are attracting in this country now
is shown by the following inquiry from
the Government at Washington, of Hon.
11. 11. Carlton:
Department of the Interior, Uni
ted States Geological Survey, Wash
ington, D. C., April I’ 1 . 1887.—My Dear
Sir: I atn attempting to secure data
from the States and Territories in regard
to forest growths. It is important that
this information should be secured, for
the reason that many of the woods are
now being used for practical purposes,
which in the past have been considered
of little value; and that the sales of sawed
lumber, iu the rough, atnoun ted to near
1f'$406,UOO,UOO last year.
’ White pine js disappearing, and will
soon he out of existence as a commercial
quartity. A large portion of our popu
lation is dependent upon wood-working
for subsistence; all knowledge that can
be acquired, of forest growths, may in a
short time be exceedingly valuable to
secure the public welfare.
The knowledge of forest growths is
also one of the easiest methods of deter
mining the character and capacity for
agricultural production of the locality it
occupies, and is therefore a great aid to
economic geology. Won’t you be ao
good as to give me the names of a num-
berofgentltmenof yourState,or of the
different counties in your district, who
will be willing to answer the questions
in regard to this subject that we will
submit? Very respectfully,
Geo. W. Shutt, Geni Aaa’L
The Augusta Chronicle has this perti-
~nent paragraph on this subject: “Geor
gia hasa greater variety of minerals and
xocks than any other State in the Union.
She has marble of every variety, from
Jet black to pure white, and from flam-
ling red to deep green. She baa Mica
1 and quart*, gold, silver and lode reins,
irbonate depoeits end lead, sine
id other metals in.nbuudance, if they
are but mined for. And twining their
roots around these mineral treasures
stand her forests ol yellow pine, enough
Jo freight all the fleets of the world for
hundreds of yearato come.”
Ws hope tho estimable people of At
lanta «ill treat the President as they *d
tl.<- inin-Stato Coinmcrcobill. I
be very embarrassing to Mr. Cl<
to bo met on his atrival in Atlanta with
t ic friendly assurance that bis visit was
not well timed.
Wnjviolate no confidence when we
say that our railroad issue will lie the
event of the year in this part of the state.
Merchants and business men are making
hourly applications for space. Don’t
miss the opportunity of your life, and
fail to advertise in the railroad issue.
By all means the President of the Utn
ted States should be invited to attend
the Northeast Georgia Fair in Athens
next October. It is rumored that he will
visit the Piedmont fair in Atlanta. As
the Athens fair will probably precede the
iedmont exhibition, President Cleve
land might take in a genuine agricultu
ral meeting before he reaches Atlanta.
We are truly glad to hear that the pub
lic school board, at the beginning of the
next school year, will apportion’ the
school funds with some degree of justice.
It is said that when the proportion is
made next time, the amount paid in by
the two races will have a great deal to
do with the amount appropriated to the
education of whitos and blacks.
The venerable street sprinkler seems
to have begun its second childhood. It
no longer spends the evening of its days
in front of the repair shop, but it is posi
tively doing good and appreciated
work. Nothing gives us more pleasure
than to see evidences of reform in all
things, and we congratulate tho sprinkler
heartily and sincerely.

furnish a clue by which he might be

News#
The G. C. & N. Railroad is a certainty
Kftonly is this entertained by'those
who have been friendly to the road all
along, but eTen by those who have ex
pressed more or less doubt about the
building of the road, admit now that
everything looks as it the road will cer
tainly be built. Now, of course, there
must be something tangible to base these
sanguine hopes and beliefs upon, and we
propose to give our readers this morning
the benefit of all the information we* have
in our possession.
It will be remembered that during the
last meeting of the directors in this city
it was agreed that the section of the road
between Chester, South Carolina and
Monroe, North Carolina should be let
out immediately. The directory appoint
ed a committee, of which Gen. Hoke was
Chairman, to take control of the letting
of contracts, and make all the necessary
arrangements connected with the matter.
At the time of the railroad meeting in
this city, there were several firms of con
tractors present here, among them the
firm that succeeded in obtaining the sec-
lion of .the road between Chester and
Monroe. This firm of Wright Brothers
is a well known, reliable firm of railroad
contractors. The gentlemen comprising
it are Virginians by birth, but of late
years have been doing business in North
Carolina and other States where new
railroads have been constructed. They
have recently finished an important rail-
toad contract near Birmingham, Alabama.
Possessed of ample capital, and backed
by some of the most responsible names
in the country, Wright Brothers have pe
culiar advantages in the wa)* of com
pleting all contracts they may elect to
take. The firm is admirablv equipped
for railroad work; already’they have
shipped to a point on the line of the
new road between Chester and Monroe,
two hundred mules, and as many carts,
together with innumerable wheel-bar
rows, picks, shovels, axes and other im
plements necessary to railroad grading.
The members of the firm are on the
ground themselves, and their agents are
rapidly collecting the nece-sary men to
go right ahead with the work. It is ex
pected, and indeed the contractors prom
ise that dirt shall be broken some time
during the present week, and the work
of grading will go right along uninter
rupted by no delay, occmsianed by the
irresponsibility of sab-contra:tors and
their inability to settle with their hands.
Gen. Hoke lias shown his splendid
business management already by one rule
he has adopted. This rule is to the ef
fect that no contractor who lias the con
tract to grade one section of the road
shall sub-let this section to any other
party. It is a condition made and agreed
to by all the parties to the contract that
when a section of road is let out the con
tractor w ho gets it is to, shall do the work
himself, and not let the contract to sub
contractors, in regard to whose rel ability
tlie officers of the road have no informa
tion. Gen. Hoke's idea is that the direct
ors can get all the necessary information
in regard to the responsibility and relia
bility ol the principal contractors, and
keep a careful watch upon them, but the
moment sub-contractors come in and
take parts of sections, the careful watch
of tlie management is at once interfered
with, and innumerable delays and trou
bles will at once arise, Gen. Hoke
declares that his observation has led him
to the conclusion that it is best to
hold the original contractors to their con
tract, and stipulate that no sub letting
shall be done.
While the work between Chester and
Monroe will begin immediately, the au
thorities of the road are not going to lie
idle at this end. It is proposed to put on
extra engineering corp between Athens
and Atlanta, and at once begin the work
of putting down the grading stakes. As
fast as the stakes are placed the sections
of the line ready for the picks and shovels
of the contractors will at once be let out-
Between Athens and Flberton the sur
veying corps will be strengthen. Al.
ready many lines have been surveyed,
the object being to cross Broad river at
the most convenient point. With the
extra force soon to be put on, it is expect
ed the line of the road between Athens
and the Savannah river will be perma
nently located in a few weeks, and the
grading be contracted for. It is the in
tention of the authorities of the road to
have the grading on the line between
Athens and Atlanta under good headway
by the first of J une at the latest. There
is no doubt that such will be the case,
unless something unforseen arises to pre
vent. The road anticipates no trouble in
the future. The sky above it is e'ear
and blue; it lias no disagreeable entan
glements or complications, from which
unpleasant surprises can coine, it is sin
gularly free from anything of this nature,
anil there is no reason why the work
should not go on to the very last without
any vexations, delays and unpleasant
troubles.
A prominent member of the directory
remarked the other day as ho was out
lining the policy of the road to a repre
positions have been declined has set at!
rest our fears in this direction.
Aa we said in the beginning, and ” sn«H Havnnxt REMARKS
repo* it here, the Georgia, Carolina S0ME
and Northern is an absolute certainty. FARM TOPICS.
In this connection we will state that
within the next thirty days dirt will be
broken on the Macon & Athens this side
of Madison, and we are assured that the
work will he pushed right along.
Mr. E. R. Hodgson informs os that it
is by no means an uncertainty about
Athens getting the Georgia Midland, that
Columbus wants to have an Athens con
nection, and that-the outlook fo( the
building of this rood to this city, is by no
means a gloomy one.

Ijr lias bin Arm Shot to Piece*#
Yeste-day morning Mr. Marshall C.
Griffeth was plowing in his field in Oco
nee county, with his gun resting on the
plow stock. The plow struck a
rock, causing the stock to bound and the
gun to discharge. The load entered the
left arm of Mr. Griffeth between the
shoulder and the elbow, makings fearful
wound. Mr Griffeth was taken to his
home and medical attention called. It
was at once decided to remove the wound
ed limb into which the shot had plough
ed with cruel laceration. Last evening
Drs. Dlder, Gwinn and Carithcrs ampu
tated the arm at the shoulder. Mr. Grif
feth was doing well. He was one of the
strongest men in Oconee ceunty, and will
doubtless survive this affliction. The
occurrence was a remarkable one.

A person who hss closely w atched the

The strawberry crop is also badly injur

proved. The stock law is doing won
ders in this respect. Jersey bull calves
are a drug on the market, and they sell
from |3 up. Hence the country is get
ting well stocked with half and three-
quarter Jerseys, besides other popular
strains of fine cattle. Milk and butter
are more plentiful than when stock
were allowed to run at large, and we are
getting bettor beef, too.
I believe that the Jersey has about
touched bottom in price, and a good cow
of that breed will always sell for fr-.tn
$100 to $150, with higher prices for fan
cy strains. These cattle are worth that
price as an investment, and it will take
years to glut the country with them. The
Jerseys are far superior to the common
breed of cattle, or any other we have
ever seen. They are not dry half the
year, and besides yield from two to
three times as much butter. One day
this week Dr. W. A. Carlton drew five
gallons ef milk from one of his cows, and
measured it by weight, too.
V
I am glad to see our farmers devoting
sojmuch attention to grass raising. They
are experimenting with all manner of
grasses, and have discovered several new
varieties that grow luxuriantly in this
climgte. The Texas blue grass is a
popular favorite and will supply a long-
:'elt want in giving our stock a winter-
grazing and an early spring grass. Mr.
W..S. Holman has* patch of it now knee-
high, and he says both horses and cattle
arc very fond of it.

The Lespedeza is exterminating Ber
muda in many places, and I do not think
it a good exchange. But the former plant
can easily be gotten rid of by plowing
it up before seeding. It is a mystery
where the Lespedeza came from. It
first appeared in Georgia at the close of
the war, and its spread has been wonder
ful. But as to this there has been many
new plants and flowers introduced in our
state of late years, undoubtedly brought
here in the imported hsv and seeds that
we buy abroad. Among them is a yellow
dog fennel, that grows profusely.'

he was honestly and truly certain about
its completion, and fully expected to see
the cars running on the road between
Athens and Atlanta by this time next
year. When asked if this rapid work
did not mean poor construction, he re
plied in the negative most emphatically.
He declared the road would be one of the
best built roads in the South, that the
road bed would be wide, that the cross-
ties would be large and well seasoned,
and that as the track laying progressed,
the work of badasting the road bed would
go along with it.
The bridges, culverts and trestles have
already been drawn and the plans are to
be seen in the office of the company in
this city. The bridges will be after the
most approved style, and the culverts and
trestles will be built for permanent stay,
not for temporary use. It is worth ones
time to visit the company’s office in this
city, and examine the wonderful system
which is employed, by which everything
s kept straight and in order. Everyt
hing is conducted with the most com
plete system—the plans and specifica
tions of every bit of trestle and even every
culvert along the entire line can be seen
in the office hare. Mr. Wsring, tho
chief draughtsman of the company is
one of the best men for tho work that
can bo found anywhere. Prof. Barrow
of the University says he is the best
draughtsman he ever saw. Mr. Waring
has charge of the office in this city, and
superintends all the work oonnected
with this department. When our rail
road map is laid before onr readers, they
will have an opportunity of examining
the excellent work and skill of this gen.
tleinan, for to him is due the entire credit
of getting it up.
We are informed that there are many
applications lor work on the road. Many
of these names are among the best rail
road contractors in the South. Contrac
tors who know a thing or two them
selves, seem to be eager to get section!
of the G, C. and N. to grade. The plans
and specifications are so clear and so
systematized that they realize that the
work will be made much easier than that
they usually have-to perform on the
average railroad. And they eeem, too, to
have secured superior information in re
gard to the road’s ability to meet all of
its obligations, for it is a common remark
among them that there will not be any
delay in getting their money, but that
as soon as they have complied with the
letter and apirit of thair contracts, the
monpy premised fop the performance of tM
the same will bp promptly forthcoming.
It is a good and encouraging sign to see
contractors with such faith in a road’s
ability to pay, and they have communi
cated mneh of their frith and confidence
to the people ell along the line, for no

There will be an unusual large crop of
cotton planted in our section this year.
From every connty comes the report thmt
an increased area is being put in the
tlcecy staple. It re illy seems that our
people won’t learn by experience. The
little rise in cotton this spring seemed to
act as an intoxicant on the farmers, and
caused them to rgain go wild over a crop
that is the cause of all their trouble.
Ouk Highways.—Mr. Waring, engi
neer on the G., C. & N. road,’heartily en
dorses our suggestion to have the public
roads of our county surveyed and located
on better land. He says that the worst
strip of road he ever saw is at Mitchell’s
bridge, and yet on this side of .the river
a gradual incline and comparatively good
route can be had, and the distance sh irt-
ened besides. As to the hill beyond the
river. Mr. Waring says it can easily be
avoided by changing the road so as to

should use her rock crusher more and
macadamize all her streets, which work
can be done at but little cost. That
Mitchell bridge road loses Athens a great
dual of trade, and we would like to see it
improved.

POiSOH IN THE ASHES
What thfi Mt. Lebanon Shatera
Found—Incident in the His>
.tory of a Quiet Community*
The Mount Lebanon (New
York) Shakers are a quiet com
munity, secluded from the fret
and Worry of the 'outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that na
ture has a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found-
rim rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
NervouB Dyspepsia is a com
paratively neiv disease, glowing
out of the conditions of modem
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to piove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus;—“If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
vork, and stimulate the excre-
ive organs to drive out of the
.jody the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after thelife-
'iving elements of the food
:ave been absorbed, we shall
tave conquered Nervous Dys-
epsia and Nervous Kxhaust-
>n. And they were right,
v nowing the infallible power
if Shaker, Extract (Seigel's
’yrup) in less complicated
hough similar diseases,
’.hey resolved to test it fully
n this. To leave no ground
cor doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable—with perfect success
in eveiy instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it—
both sexes and all-ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau
seous eructations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of oppress
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need of it; sticky*
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive and sad fore
bodings and fears.
All this terrible group
