WHAT THE RIFLES HAVE DONE.
The company was taken in charge by
Capt. Owen but a few months ago, and
since that time several new members
have enlisted, making it considerable
work to get the company in good trim.
But thanks to the efficient work of
Capt. Owen they have been brought up
to a standard where they can compete
with any company in the State. For
the past week they have been drilling
every night preparatory to going into
camp, and they have at each drill re
ceived the personal instruction of their
captain. With this work they are now
able to go into the midst of the state
militia and make an appearance of
which Athens and the State will be
proud.
There will be in the company between
thirty-five and forty enlisted men be
sides the commissioned officers. Most
of these are Athens men, a few being
boys from Atlanta who have been here
at college during the past year.
AT THE CAMPS.
During this week, which is the third
week of the encampment, Lient. Col.
Wm. F. Jones will be in command of
the grounds, and Col. G. H. Yancey
will command the 9tb rigiment.
The cost of the camp will be about
$1,00 to each individual b >ldier, and
this will go to pay for music. Every
thing else is furnished by the state.
The tents are there, and are furnished
with mattresses. It would be well also
for those who wish bed clothing to take
it with them as there is said to be a
scarcity of it there.
The object of the encampment is the
instruction and training of the State
militia, and while in camp this will be
the end aimed at. The. men will be re
quired to perform all military duties
required, and to maintain at all times
a military bearing.
There are two drlls a day, a morning
company drill and, dress parade in the
afternoon. It is said that the dew is
very heavy about the time of this tnorn-
Monroe, Ga., Jnne 26.—Mr. George
W. Malcom, Sr., one of the most promi
nent men and one of the best citizens of
Walton county, met a horrible death at
his home, nine miles from here. He
died from hydrophobia, and the scene at
his death bed was terrible. A good citi
zen, a brave soldier, a kind husband and
father, almost in the prime of life, lay
dying in the most excruciating pain
freon the bite of a worthless dog. All
the evidences of hydrophobia were there
exhibited, and the scene was indeed one
horrible to behold.
On the manring of the Sd of Jane,
about daybreak, he started out to his
barn to feed his horse. In the public
road, near the barnyard, he met a dog
coming down the road on a ran. With
out the least provocation the dog sprang
at Mr. Malcom, catching him through
the nose and face. He held on like grim
death, and only turned loose his hold
after Mr. Malcom had choked him near
ly to death.
Notwithstanding his month and nose
were badly tom by the bite of the dog,
and the blood was rapidly flowing from
his wounds, Mr. Malcom still held on to
the dog until he conld get a rock, with
which he beat the dog to death. He was
a brave, gritty man, and seemed to have
less fear of hydrophobia than any of his
friends. He would always say, "I don’t
think the dog was mad and I don’t be
lieve I will nave hydrophobia."
Thus he talked and acted, his wounds
cured np and bis friends became more
hopeful Tuesday, he ate a hearty din
ner and went out on the porch to get a
drink of water. As soon as the dipper
reached his lips he jumped high in the
floor and screamed at the top of his
roice.
As soon as this, the first convulsion,
wore off, he announced to his family
that he was a dead man—that he had
hydrophobia. He sent at once for all
his children, and had a neighbor to
write his will
This being finished, he began having
convulsions, which were light at first
and at intervals of about one hour.
They grew harder and harder and nearer
and nearer together until Wednesday
evening, when he became exhausted and
irrational, and remained in this condi
tion nntil he died.

Cape Owen is taking hold of the work
at a great disadvantage, and is now
trying to build up a company such as
Athens needs and may depend on. That
he will succeed goes without saying,
for he is a man with a thorough
understanding of military science and
tactica. He was formerly Captain of
Company B. of the 5tb Maryland regi
ment, conceded to be the best drilled
troops to be found in the country.
What the camp will accomplish will be
a great help towards perfecting the
troops.
Said Captain Owen on yesterday:
“To a city of the importance
of Athens a good military com
pany is a necessity, and it will be my
endeavor to make of the Rifles such a
one as the city needs. Trained troops)
are necessary in the time of a riot or an
uprising, and unless they are trained
and orderly at all times, they cannot be
so when such an occasion requires it.
The rules of the camp will be strictly
military, and the troops will be brought
up to a better point of training.
The Rifles have excellent material,
and are taking more interest than ever
in their work. They b*ve labored un
der many disadvantages, but are grad-
'ly overcoming these.

replied the speaker, “we evidently
could not do much with yon, it is your
boy we are after.” The man dropped
his jocular tone and said, seriously:
“Well, 1 think yon have got the right
of it. If somebody had been after n.e,

the settlers aronnd Skytown. We were
thrown together many times in a busi
ness way, and 1 came to admire Boh
Gorman for Ms manly qualities and
strict attention to tho interests of Ms
employer. He seemed to like me, also,
and would come to the store and talk
for hours at a time abont life in. the
mines and ranches west of the Missouri.
One day he came to me with a let
ter.
‘Mr. Barlow,’ he said, in a half hesi
tating way, ‘will yon please read this to
me?
‘Why, can’t you read? I exclaimed
in surprise without pausing to think a
second time.
‘Gorman blnslied painfully. I would
have given almost anything to unsay the
words.
Y* see, I ain’t never had no
chance’
*• T understand. Bob. Yes, I’ll read it
foe yon.’
“ ‘It’s from Nance—my wife,’ Gorman
explained, and an expression of great
happiness beamed from Ms eyes.
‘Nance, she lives at Mingersville, an’
she’s the finest girl in Montanny, yon
can bet on that I'm goin' to own a
ranch of my own one o’ these days, an’
then ni be fixed so 1 can stay at home
with Nance an’ not have to go knockin'
roan’ the country’, sellin’ broncos. Please
read the letter, sir.’
The writing was almost illegible, and
the third person was nsed all through
the letter, so it was evidently from an
other’s hand. It told how ‘Nance was
sick of a feever, but was a-gettin’ ’long’
and ‘sends her love to Bob, wisMn’ he’d
com home soon as poesibel.’
The happiness faded ont of Gorman’s
face the moment he heard of Ms wife’s
illness, and when I finished the letter Ms
voice trembled as he asked:
Is that all, Mr. Barlow? Don’t it
say how she is, nor nothin’ more ’bout
what ails her?
No,’ I answered, with deep sym
pathy.
‘My God! I wish’t I knew!’
He remained in silent meditation for
a few moments.
I wouldn’t worry.’ I said: fit can't
be very serious.’
He shook his head forebodingly.
‘She’d never a let ’em write to me
that way if it wa’n’t. Tain’t like her.
Fll fiX np my tilings here an’ go back,
quick as I can,’ ha said, and walked hur
riedly away.
In a short time he returned with a
postal card.
“ 'Just say for me, Mr. Barlow, that

At Chamberlin’s the other night a
party of distinguished rounders were
exchanging gossip. Somebody began to
tell of Eugene Field, of his various tricks
and quips and witticisms. There was a
story alwut Ms astonisMng watch. It
seems he went to the trouble of procur
ing an enormous silver watch, the size
of a rutabaga turnip. Somewhere within
the vast interior of this instrument he
had placed a contrivance of such a nat
ure that when one turned the stem as
though to wind it up it gave forth a loud
and raspiDg noise like unto that of ten
locusts sawing their resounding legs at
once. .It was a startling and an awful
racket, calculated to shock a nervous
person and to irritate the most phleg
matic.
Armed with this engine of torture,
Field used to repair to theaters where
dreadful and heartrending plays were in
process of evolution, and then, at har
rowing points, when the villain was on-
folding his hellish plot, or the virtuous
maiden defying a ruthless persecutor,
and everybody was hanging in suspense
upon the same, Field would unsheathe
Ms watch and tnrn the crank with in
dustry. He always broke up the tragedy.

Rubber and Rubber Good*.
How much pore rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? Abont 70
per cent. The best Para gum costs
ninety-five cents a pound, so yon see
rubber boots and shoes cannot he made
for nothing. In the smallest robber
shoe made there are abont four ounces
of pare rubber, and from that to prob
ably four pounds in a pair of robber
boots.
Old robbers are ground up, lining and
all, into what we call rag carpet, and it
i^nsed for insoles.
The work is nearly all done by band,
and in the factories are employed yonng
children, men and women. A bootmak
er gets twenty cents a pair for making
them, and a good man can torn out
from ten to twelve pairs a day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with a total capacity of over
150,000 pairs of boots and shoes a day.
There are four factories having a ca
pacity of over 25,000 pairs each, and
one which has a capacity of 40,000 pairs.
It is a mystery where they all go to.—

Not at all,” was the answer. “You
