A few days since, while on a busi
ness trip to Atlanta, we had the
pleasure ot spending two or three
hours at the exposition. So Hurried
a visit, ot course, -admitted only a
casual inspection of the many attrac
tions and wonderful things exhibited
there; but we saw enough to convince
us that the Exhibition is very large,
comprehensive and interesting. It is
rightlyjcalled “international,’’ because
its exhibits are not confined to the
United States, or even America; but
there are some from Europe aud
even Asia. It is most probably the
greatest affair of the kind that was
ever held in the South; and certainly
no city of the size of Atlanta ever un
dertook such au enterprise. That
she has succeeded so well is to the
highest degree creditable to our inde
fatigable capital city. Her success
reflects credit alike upon herself and
the State of Georgia.
There are many things in the Ex
position grounds to interest and
amuse, and many to instruct. While
we do not pretend to compare it with
the . Centennial Jat Philadelphia, we
do say that one who visited the Cen
tennial would by no means find the
Atlanta Exposition lacking iu inter
est. jThere are things there that
might profitably be investigated and
studied for days. For example,
the Willimantic Manufacturing Co.,
of Rhode Island, takes cotton with
the seed and ppts it through all tbe
different processes, until it comes out
thread ou the spools. This is going
on all the time, and is open to the
inspection of every visitor.
There are many more mechanical
operations goi ng on, which are equal
ly interesting. The display of manu
factured goods of all kinds, from gold
and silver down, are very fine, and
themselves tempt the visitor to linger
and look. The agricultural display
of Kansas is at once a beauty and
marvel. Such glorious products ot
tbe soil, and such a beautiful arrange
ment of them 1 It is enough to make
a Georgian blush to think what an
exhibition of her resources thb dis
tant State has made, when our own
State,through her legislature, positive-
y refused to allow a dollar of appro
priation to make A display. The
Kansas display, we fear, will have the
effect of taking people away from
Georgia. Tbe bobtail economists of
the legislature themselvee must feel a
pang of regret when they look at the
Kansas , exhibition and think of what
Georgia has tailed to do, by reason of
their patrimony.
We might say more, but for want
of space. We advise all who can
to go to Atlanta and see the exposi
tion. Persons who never saw- such i
one, cannot afford, tw let the opportus
nity pass; and those, who have seen
many will be amply repaid tor going
to this one. Don’t fail to go, it you
have received three communis
canons relative to the matter of the

ft a recent issue ot your
rreapondent from Winterville,
done me great injustice by par-
misrepresenting the tacts in
_ i-enimniisionara’ -court, held
at Wmterrille, and the parties fined therein.
Lest pnblio opinion should be unduly influenc
ed thereby, I respectfully ask the use of your
columns to reply to the same.
I do not know Beppo, nor do I know from
what sourco he got his information. He has
been misinformed, or has personal prejudice to
gratify, and if tho Utter, I think it very un
manly, to sav tho least, to resort to tho columns
of a public journal to seek redress.
Beppo iu his communication omits to state
that tho hands that J. S. Fleeman returned as
defaulters, reached the road about half an hour
only behind time, and that I agreed to make np
their time by repairing a bridge, cross-laying a
mud-bole, turning over the worth of their U-
bor in picks to tho commissioners, or doubling
their time at tho next road working, in case tho
above work was not required.
The above propositions were made both to
the commissioners, and overseer before tho
commissioners’ court Was held and the default
ers fined. Those defaulters were hands in my
employment, and ou the trial I Insisted that
had tbe overseer given at least one day’s no
tice before working tbe road, as the law re
quires, that the bauds would not have been'be
hind time at the road-working hour. I further
insisted that the commissioners could not law
fully fine the defaulters, as they were not le«
gully summoned to work the road. Neverthe
less, when the commissioners imposed the lines,
1 tendered them the money, ou the condition
that they or myself and the overseer would re
fer the case to Judge Bottle, and if ho decided
that they had erred, they would refuud the
money., The commissioners accrued to receive
tho money ou the above proposition.
I then told tho commissioners that I should
appeal the cases, or certiorari, end go before a
higher tribunal. 1 proposed, however, that if
toe commissioners would allow me one day to
see a lawyer, and if ho said the law had been
complied with, I would pay the fines at once.
That certainly was also denied me.
The commissioners not seeing proper to ac
cept any of the above propositions, I could not
do otherwise than to believe that they were en
deavoring to coorca me into measures that I did
not belicvo were lawful, just or right in any
sense; and when the commissioners ordered my
hands to jail, in the face of the foregoing prop
ositions, 1 notified them, tho next day, that I
would certainly hold them responsible, for at
tempting to execute an illegal process of the
law. Henoe, the contempt case.
In reply to tho charge that I resisted the
sheriff m the lawful discharge of his duty, tho
charge is too thin to. need refutation. Tho
sheriff himself will corroborate me in this state
ment.
No one more than myself will moft readily
or cheerfully acquiesce in the decisions of a court
when tho requirements of tlhe law have been
complied witu.
I oannot believe tho public will any more up
hold road commissioners in violating the law
than they will sustain road delimiters iu not
complying with the law. If the opinions of
soa-J commissioners, without regard to Law, jus
tice or right in any s.rnse, ore to be mode the
immutable decree* ol tho land, It is high timo
the plebeianslwere made aware ot' tho fact, that
they may govern themselves accordingly.
I wuuld suspect unit Beppo was a road com-
mhfiioner himself; but fur fear 1 would be fined
for eutertamiug such a thought, 1 will forbear.
I respectfully ask Beppo *o boil down his
gush of exaggerations in this matter to solid
truths, and then state the facts on both sides
fairly ; for I assure him that I am more than
wiliiug tha> the- public should know them.
Yea, morcJjustioe to myself aud others demand
that the public know them, without any color
ing whatever.

THE HUTCHINS EJECTION.
A Correct .'"count of the Hatter.
One clay last week a negro man
named J. G. Hutchins, who tanght
school in Athens and is now one of
editors of the Atlanta Blade and the
holder ot some Federal office, got on
the Northeastern train at Lula com
ing southward. When conductor.
Patterson came for tickets, he found
Hutchins in that part of the car as*
signed to white people. The passen
ger car is divided by a partition, one
part being given to whites and the
other to the colored people ; and both
apartments are identical in all re
spects. The conductor asked Hutch
ins to .go into the other apartment.
He replied that he didn’t see that he
was doing any harm there. The con
ductor told him tbaVhe might not be
doing any barm, but that tbe ather
apartment was for colored people
and he must go there; that the law
gave him the right to separate the
two races. Hutchins still refusingvto
move, the conductor said : “ If you
don’t go, I will put you off at the
next station.”
Arriving at the next station, Gills-
villc, Hutchins said he would go into
the other apartment, but after the
train started, he refused to go. Con
ductor Patterson had the train stop
ped and backed to the station, intend
ing to put Hutchins off
Just here a white passenger, Harry
French, of the wholesale drug firm
ot Freuch, Richards & Co.,New York
nterfered and told Hutchins not to
get off until he was put off by force,
so that he might sue tho road for
damages. In obedience to his sugt
geslion, Hutchins did not move until
the conductor took him by the shoul
ders and liftedjhim, without violence,
out of his seat and pushed him toward
the door. As he got to the saloon,
near the door, French called out to
him that that would do—be need not
resist any more; and so. Hutchins
ceased holding back, and got off
quietly. French gave his Dame aud
address, and told Hutchins to have
him summoned at any time as a wit
ness, and he would gladly respond.
He further remarked: “You are as

terest were disenssed.
The only changes made in the of
ficers and board ot directors {was tbe
election of G. H. Yancey and R. L,
Bloomfield directors in "place of W-
B, J. Hardman and J. A. Hunnicutt.
and Mr. H. R. Bernard was made
superintendent instead of acting su
perintendent.
The reports of the president, Col.
Foreaore, and of the . auditor and su
perintendent, Mr, H. R, Bernard,
show the road in excellent cond ition.
From the tormer report we learn that
the extension of the road will be made
according to] the contract of lease,
and the trains will be running to
Clarkesville by January 1st. The
grading to that place is completed,
the cross ties arejall ready and will be
laid at once, the iron is on tbe route
from New Jersey and will arrive in
two weeks, when it will be laid as
rapidly as possible. The contract
for the grading from Clarksville to
Tallulah Falls (14 miles) has just
been Jet and work will begin next
week.
From the report of Mr. Bernard,
we extract a few figures:
For the fiscal year ending August 31st.
the total earnings have been - - $66,097:44
Tho expenses have been, - 89,114.88
Leaving net earnings. - $26,982.56
The extraordinary expenses were, - 7,595.16
Leaving a balance of, $19,387.40
From which was paid interest on 1st and
2nd mortgage bonds, - - - 19,213.50
Leaving a net balance ot, - * - $173.90
A comparison ot the business ot the
year 1881, shows that there has been
a total increase of earnings of, 815,-
638.45; and a total increase ot ex
penses of, 11,001.51.
Other points of interest appear in
this report, whieh we will give at
another time.

A Tragic End to the Huntsville Scandal
TUX ORIGINAL AMBBLB.
_ Road Caab.—The road commissioners of
Beaverdsm district, Oglethorpe oounty, have
worked np defaulters, and are making things
lively for tboee who uphold them. About a
week since, Mr.J. S. Fleeman reported eizof
his hands, ai_d, on being brought before the
oommiaeiooere, they were all fined. They re*
(heed to pay the fine, howevo' whereupon,
the commusionere issued warrants for their ar
rest, and ordered- them to be imprisoned. Mr.
B. B. Williams, who defended the hands, then
employed Mr. Whitson Y. Johnson to take
charge of the case, and both gentlemen wrote to
the commissioners threatening to prosecute
them if they attempted to enforce tbeir sen
tence ; and also warned the shoriff that if he
attempted to arreet the defaulters he would be
served in a like manner, thus deterring him
from executing the sentence of tlft oourt. The
commissioners thereupon issued warrants for
the arrest of Messrs. Williams and Johnson,
and had both gentlemen brought before them
and fined eaou ot them (50.00 for contempt.
Messrs. W. and J. claimed that the commis
sioners had no right to impose a fine upon
them, and requested the commissioners to de
lay proceedings until they could bring the cose
before snpenor court which oonvenes this
week. The request was granted, and both
- tartioe await impatiently the deeision of Jndge
,‘ottlo on this question. The commissioners
are represenUd by J. Wamock Echols, Esq.,
and Messrs. Williams and Johnson by Mr.
Samuel Lumpkin. It is impossible to tell what
the derision of the oourt will no in this case,
bnt ot one thing we are assured, and that ie,
that public opinion will nphol'd the commission
ers in the discharge of what they conceive to
be their duty. If it is made a defy for thorn to
higher ooarts; bat, if the commissioners alter
waring sentence, are to he deprived, either by
ores or intimidation, of tho right to enforce
thatsentanoe, then, in onr humblo opinion, the
commissioner a office la a force and the sooner it
is done away with the better.

of harmony, that all are fully satisfied,
and that the matter will go no far

better that such things be allowed
to die as soon as possible. If kept

Huotsvillo, Ala., October 21—D.
L. Love was killed in Greenville,
Miss., to-day by John T. Lanier, of
this city. The following special to
the Huntsville Independent gives the
particulars of the killing:
Greenville, Miss., October 21.—
Love came here several days since,
and was engaged in trying to get up
subscription for a cotton factory.
Lanier got here from Vicksburg this
morning. He and his lather, in
going to the hotel, saw Love enter a
livery stable on tho opposite side of
the street, apparently not having
seen them. Thejr crossed over, and
at the door saw him talking to the
stable proprietor in the rear of the
stable. Lanier advanced, shotgun in
hand, and when about twenty yards
from Love, the latter turned and saw
Lanier, who almost immediately fired.
Love was struck in the neck and face,
and tamed to retreat. Lanier fired
the other barrels as Love entered
buggy and mule shed. Love fell but
got-up, pistol in hand. Lanier had
by.this time ran up to the mule shed
and opened fire with a pistol. Love
was now down, but endeavored to
crawl away through the stalls, but
his strength failed and he gasped hi:
life away. Love, who never fired
had fourteen bullet holes in him
Lanier surrendered, and is now
charge of the Sheriff. Tbe public
verdict is that Love was justly slain,
The causes which led. to the kil
ling are as follows: Love and Lanier
were both suitors of Miss Ida Johnson,
an accomplished young lady of this
city. She accepted Lanier, and they
were married, while Love was in this
city. He left tor Mississippi a few days
after the marriage, aud from West
Point, a town in that State, he mail
ed to prominent citizens of this city,
wedding cards containing his own
name and that of Miss Johnson on
one side, and on tbe other a printed
statement reflecting upon the chastity
of the Jady, aud even charging her
mother of being cognizant ot it. La
nier remained silent in regard to the
villminons insult offered, and but a
few friends knew what course he
would pursue. So about ten days
ago, he left the city, quietly in com
pany with his father, B. C. Lamer, Sr.
his brother, Hon. B. C. Lanier, Jr.,
and H K Harrison, bound for Missis
sippi* on tbe ttaok of tbe traducer,
with the result above stated. The
sentiment of the whole community is
with Lanier, and all applaud the act
done by him, Milton Humes, Esq.;
W R Rison,.Uol WmL Holting, Dr
O M Harris and Win Baldridge,
some of our most prominent citizens,
all leave to-night for Mississippi, to
render any assistance to Lanier that
may be necessary. D L Love came
here last spring from Mississippi; and
Was instrumental in organizing the
cluton factory here. He endeavored
to obtain some position in the factory
but the directors refused to elect him.

BY RFV. B. r. FARBISS. 4 ,* *
From tho Methodist Messenger, j
We read in the second chapter &f
Genesis “On the seventh day God
ended his work, which He had made
and He rested on the seventh day
from all His work, which He had
made, and God blessed the Seventh
day and sanctified it.” When God
gave the law to Moses He said: “Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy, six days thon shalt labor and
do'all thy work, bnt the Seventh day
is the Sabbath of the Lord-thy God,
in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
nor thy man servant,nor thy maid Ser
vant, nor thy cattle, nor thy,stranger
that is within thy gates. For in six
days the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea and all that in them is, and
rested on the Seventh day and hal
lowed it.” God when he had finish
ed the work of creation instituted
the Sabbath. He reaffirmed it at the
giving of the law to Moses.
Man is so constituted morally, in
tellectually and physically that he
needs the Sabbath. The body re
quires one day in seven for rest, the
mind for relaxation and repose, the
soul for the cultivation of its moral
and spiritual faculties. The Chris
tians early in commemoration of
Christ, changed the Sabbath from
the Seventh to the first day of
the week. We apprehend that it is
not essential whether it be the Sev
enth or First day, so that one day in
seven is sacredly observed. We can
in a short article like this mention
only a few thiDgs that ought and
ought not to be done on the Sabbath
day.
We should avoid all buying and
selling on the Sabbath, save that
which is absolutely necessary, works
of mercy and charity can be done
without incurring guilt,—all others
had better be let alone. Cutting
wood, blacking shoes, churning milk,
grinding coffee, shaving, and all such
things should be attended to within
six days; visiting, except in cases
of sickness should be avoided. The
fashion of attending to business dur
ing the week, and going to see rela
tives and friends on the Sabbath to
save a day, talking of secular affairs,
cookiug and feasting is quite repre
hensible. The running of railroad
and street cars. The working of
beasts for pleasure or profit simply,
certainly are forbidden by the laws
of God. The carrying of mail, the
opening of mails, the reading of sec
ular papers, and such like, should be
left off. The great Stonewall Jack-
son would not go to the Post Office
nor mail a letter that had to be trans
ported on Sunday. His religion was
tuch in accordance with the Bi
ble, that it made him quite peculiar to
this world. Judges and lawyers and
witnesses in courts of the law, should
certainly refrain from traveling from
court to court on the Sabbath. Let
no work be done on the Sabbath day
that is incompatible with the spirit
of the. Fourth Commandment, and
it will be better for man and beast
in this world, and better for the im
mortal soul in the world to come.
There is nothing in onr religion
that is at all foolish or impractical,
but exactly the reverse. To the
spiritually minded, all her demands
are quite reasonable and pleasant.
A word more, and we close. Let
children be taught by their parents,
both by precept, and example to re
spect the Sabbatk day according to
God’s word. It is quite rare to fiud
a very bad, disolute character that
was trained up strictly to observe the
Sabbath. Capt Germany, who was
principal keeper of the Georgia peni
tentiary several years before the war,
said there was not a convict in, the
penitentiary during his term of office
that was brought up in the Sunday
School and taught to observe the
Sabbath in his youth.

A good story is told about “Old

of late with thirsting for Senator Ma-

introduced recentlv to a Captain
Jones, and the handshaking was
hardly over betore the former, who is
very fond of talking about the
“wah,” asked, ip his squeaking voice:
“What command in tbe army did
you belong to, Captain?’’ “Oh,
pshaw 1 General,” said the young
man, blushing: “I wasn’t an officer
in the army; I’m just tbe captain ot
a baseball dub.” “Oh, hell 1” oried
old Jubal. That broke up the war
