THE BLUE'RIDGE & ATLANTIC RAIL*
• - * WAY COES INTO' - 5*
A RECEIVER’S HANDS.
The Movlnsr Creditors Were Hodgson
Bros., of Athens-Mr. J. W. Big
horn Appointed Tempora
ry Receiver for/the
Road*
The Blue Ridge and Atlaatic railroad
ia ia the hands of a receiver.
This came about yesterday, and the
receiver is now in ohai»~.
Saturday Ur. Asbnry H. Hodgson, of
tbiB oity received a telegram from
Judge W. B. Thomas, who is now in
New York, stating that tbe Blue
Bidge and Atlantic had assigned and
that he had been appointed assignee.
It also stated that he was to take charge
of the road at once.
Ur. Hodgson left for Clarkesyille,
but after arriving there it was thought
that the best way to manage the afiair
would be to put tbe road in the bands of
a receiver.
Yesterday morning Messrs. Jackson,
Barrow and Thomas as attorneys for
Hodgson Bros, and other creditors filed
a proceeding alleging the insolvency of
the road and asking the appointment
of a'receiver.
Accordingly Judge Welborn at
Clarkesville£yeeterdsy appointed Mr.
J. W. Bigham Receiver, and Mr. Big-
ham at once took charge of the road.
The hearing for a permanent receiver
will be on Friday next.
VOUDOOISM
Ae Practiced in the Western Portion
of Clark* County.
He spits on his hands; rubs them
over the patient—the cure is effected.
That is the mode of practice adopted by
a voudoo who is now in Clarke county.
Strange a3 it may appear, many people
believe in him and his mode of treat
ment. Indeed, a number profess to
have been healed by bis “wonderful
power,” as they are pleased to term it.
What the doctor’s name is, or where
lie earns from, no one seems to know.
He confines himself almost entirely to
tbe country, as his “power” would
leave him, he says, were he to locate or
remain any considerable length of time
in a thickly settled community. In
deed, “the doctor” doubts whether it
would be possible, for him to live,
were he compelled to breathe the in-
feotous air of the oity.
For the.past two weeks he has been
gettiDg in his work at Glover, a station
on the Georgia, Carolina & Northern
railway oompany. The “doctor” is a
- healthy looking negro, who claims to
be endowed with power from on high to
heal all manner of disease, but in some
instances owing to a lack of faith by
thepatient.
The.negroes of tbe vicinity flock to
him in large numbers to have him cure
them of their maladies—imaginary and
real. The other.day a negro man went
to him whose baud was covered with
warts. The “doctor” told him that he
had been “conjured,” and that he could
remove them. He spat on his hands,
rubbed themjtogether briskly for sev-
ral minutes, then took tbe hand cov-
, with warts, squeezed it tightly
some minutes and bade the
negro go home, say ing the warts would
leave at 12 o’clock that night.
When the negro arose the next morn
ing he found his hand absolutely clear
and smooth—not a sign of a wart visible
The “dQOtor” has al«o taken corns
from the feet of the afflicted in the
same manner. He claims the healing
propensities to be in bis hands and in
tbe saliver that flows from bis mouth.
Sunday afternoon a white citizen car
ried a child to him who is afflicted with
something like dropsy, and asked if he
could restore it to health. Tne “doc
tor” replied:
“IdoD.t say I kin cure it; but I have
cured worse cases dan datis. If you
believe I kin oonjure him, den I kin
cure him,sho.”
He was requested to try the case any
how, whether tbe patient believed or
not. The operation was proceeded with,
the “doctor” spitting on his hands' and
rubbing vooiferously, then applying
them to tbe body of the afflicted one.
He kept this up fer fully thirty
minutes, and while doing so was sur
rounded by a group of interested spec
tators. He said it would be some eight
or ten days before it could be known
as to whether he oould cure the child
or not, but he had no doubt that he
oould, provided the patient would be
lieve in his power to effect a cure.
The “dootor” claims to be an unedu
cated negro, whiob is an undisputable
fact. Ho money is asked, but if the pa<
tient is cured, tbe doctor expects what
ever remuneration the healed one sees
fit to bestow. In no £ase will he take
money from a patient under ^course of
treatment, saying that should he do so,
the “epell” would be broken and his
labor would prove fruitless.
The “doctor” says that be is endowed
with curative powers, he feels that be
ing uneducated is a bon to him. Were
he an educated man he could not gain
the confidence of the people as he dees,
they,;•would take him at once to be a
“fake” seeking money.
A great many jiecp’e believe in him,
and flockjto . him to be cored, while
others gathering around, when a pa
tient is under treatment for mere curi
osity. Ho matter for what reason they
come, the “doctor” always has a great
deal of company.
A Fusllade of Reports but no Game
Brought Down,
Sheriff Wier and a posse of citizens
had a. regular warlike engagement
Sunday night with a band Of chicken
thieves out on the Hunnicutt dairy farm
near the oity.
For some time Mr. Fred Hunnicutt
baa been missing his chickens and tur
keys, but has been unable to catch the
thieves. Sunday night the band was
located in the woods.near by and the
sheriff was notified.
The Sheriff’s posse was composed of
Sheriff Wier, F G. Hunnicutt, Clar
ence Wier, W. B. Williford, Joe Ber
nard, Will Sims, and W. H. Bnrbaok.
They can across tbe thieves and upoD
commanding them to halt, all broke and
ran for dear life.
In quiok succession, thirty shots rang
|out upon the air. Sheriff Wier said it
'reminded him of the days of ’65 when
the rattle of musketry was quite preva
lent.
Everyone of the thieves escaped, hut
M r . Hunnicutt says he has one or two
of them^potted and will bring them to
jnstice.

Pshaw I Take Beeoham’s
To look into.the affairs of the dispen
sary.
That is what the council resolved to
do yesterday afternoon at its meeting. -
Soon after the meeting was called to
order Alderman Hodgson introduced
a resolution that the Manager of the
dispensary be required to make a re
port to Council on the first of April as
to4be condition <f the Dispensary in
every respect.
The resolution was discussed at
length by members .of the council, and
allseeHKdto agree that the Council
should know tae exact, status of af
fairs.
The orig : nal resolution was
amen led iu several ways, and when it
passed it carried with it these require
ments:
A statementjof the amount of business
done by .the dispensary since its foun
dation up to the 1st of April, and also
the expenditures|m ade.
A statement of the kinds of liquors
sold, who bought from and at what
prices.
A statement of all analyses made by
the chemist to test the purity of the liq-
uor*.
A statement of tbe amount of stock on
baud and whst kind of
liquor constitutes this stock
Several reasons prompted this inqui
ry on the part of the CounciL
“If the dispensary is losing money,
the council should know it, and if it is
a losing a business, it shoufj be investi
gated,” said Alderman Talmadge.
“Complaints are made of the quali
ties of the liquor.*sold,sand we should
know of the analysis made,” remarked
Alderman O’Farrell.
Said another Alderman: “I hear
ihe bottles of liquor are not labelled as
required by the law ”
The Council did not take position
that anything was goiog wrong at the
Dispensary, buL, that the institution
should be run .on business principles
and that their body should be in pos
session of all tbe facts in the case.
The Banner published some time
since an interview with tbe Dispensary
Commissioners in which it was shown
that the profits aris
ing from the Dispensary
amounted to about eight hundred dol
lars per month; that the stock on hand
was about five thous&ud- doK&rs; that
tbe whiskies;; .sold were subjected to
analysis by Prof. H. C. White and that
the quality of the liquors was absolute
ly pure.
To all appearances the Dispensary is
a success, but tbe Council wish to be in
possession of all the Jnfi rmation con
cerning it.
Some of the Aldennen favored tbe
calling for montbly reports from the
Dispensary, but it was decided to call
for this report on April 1st.
The report will be a comprehensive
one, and will settle all questions that
are floating around concerning the
Dispensary.
A BIG FIRE |N CH ARLESTON.
Over $30,000 Worth of Property was
. --Destroyed—Tb® Citadel Acafl' -
emy Burned-
Charleston, March 15.—The main
ildingof the Citadel Academy ia is
rains from fire and 160 cadets have ta
seek new quarters for the present.
The cadets were in the section rooms-
The alarm was Bounded, and as thi
news spread through the city, in hall
an hoar ton thousand spectators wer*
assembled on the square watching th»
conflagration. The origin of the fire is
not known. It started under the roof
apd by the time the alarm was founded,
the top of the entire quadrangle was in
flames.
The fire department managed to con
fine the flames to ths third and secon.
floors. The entire roof of the main
building*, together with the upper floor,
is wrecked. The second tier of bed
rooms is badly damaged. The first gal
lery dormitory and the ground gallery
are comparatively uninjured.
The east wing, in which are the mess
hall, secretary room, chapel ar-d the
new west wing, in which are the offi
cers’ quarters, are untouched.
The osly accident occurred to Cadet
Livingston, of Columbia, who was suf
focated by the smoke while trying to
get his kit out of his room. He was
dragged out by his comrades, however,
and is not aerionsly hurt.
A great many of the cadets lost their
entire kits, saving only the fatigue uni
forms they were wearing at the time.
As soon as it was found that the build
ing would be uninhabitable, the trustees
of the Roper hospital bnilding placed it
at the disposal of Colonel Coward. It
is a large building, new, and has not
been used for hospital purposes since its
destruction by the earthquake in 1886.
The total insurance on the entire build
ing and contents is $52,000, ef which
|32,000 is available for the main build
ing, where all damages is confined. It
is thought that this amount will restore
it. If it does not, the city of Charles
ton will make np the deficiency, even if
it has to be raised by private subscrip
tion. The first orders read to the ca
dets is that there would be ne farther
interruption in their studies. Many
citizens offered homes to the cadets,
temporarily, but the officers decided to
keep the corps together under strict
military discipline.

fessed to believe that there was a pur
pose in withholding the mandate, which

this state, and said he was euro there
was a loophole therein for a renewal of
the contest.

SET HIM RIGHT. *
Geo. Augustus Sals, the well known
English writer,on his last Autralian trip
wrote as follows to The London Daily
Telegraph:
“I especially have a pleasant remera-
berance of the ship’s doctor—a very ex
perienced maritime medico indeed, who
tended me most kindly daring a horri
ble spellfof bronchitis and spasmodic
asthma, provoked by the sea fog which
had swooped down on ns just after we
left San Franciso. But the doctor’s
prescriptions and the increasing
warmth of the temperature as we near

couple of Allcock’s Porous Plasters
capped on—one on the chest another
between the shoulder blades—soon
set me right.”

Governor Jones Ia Lending Kolb by
Respectable Odd*.
Montgomery, March 14.—Full re
turns from Saturday’s primaries in Pike
county give the county to Kolb over
Jones for governor from 20 to 30 major

Fall retarns from Montgomery gives
Jones the county by an overwhelming

therefore, makes material changes in

bar ninety-two -unconteeted votes, and
Kolb forty-three uncontestod, leeving
nineteen contested votes. These figures
do not agree with those prepared by the

Friends and Fellow Citizens: I hav«
the pleasure of introducing to yon tht
great Democratic leader who nevei
leads bat to victory, and who never wot
a victory bu| for the good of the people.
He is preeminently the exponent of the
old Democratic doctrine, that all politi
cal power is inherent in the people,
hence there is in his political creed nc
place for force bills, no countenance foi
the rule of plutocracy, but that the will
of the people is a supreme law that
should guide and govern the official con
duct of all men in pnblio stations.
[Cheers.]
All eyes are tamed tq him as the great
and wise leader under whose banner the
Democratic hosts of this country shall
march to victory next November. And
not only that; when the great victory
■hall be won it will be a permanent one,
to eontinne year after year, and term
after term, until this government is
folly restored to that glorioue career
began under our fathers, and so go on
ward till it reaches that mat destiny
which, in the providence of God, awaits
the brave, the virtuous and the free.
Mieaiosippi’s guest, the Hon. David B.
Hill.
Senator Hill spoke briefly and forcibly
on national and political issues and was

that the Tennessee Coal, Iren and Rail
