A SURE-ENOUGH DUEL-
AN ATHENIAN WHO DIDN’T FIGHT BY
T£ : EGRAPH.
A£t >vy of Cli Pen! e'fl School Days Rotoll
—Mr*. Geo. G. Thoiriaa Plants Four Bul
lets in Ilis Antagonist’s Body, and
is Shot Once Himself.
A« duels i.ro at this ii;ne the lending
sen -ii.ion in Georgia, it may be interest
ing to the Athenians to know that tve
have in our midst a quiet, peaceful gen-
temail, a consistent church member,
tvii » once faecd the tire of his antago
nist on the Held of honor; and these
gentlemen did not have their pistols
loaded with paper bullets, cither, that
vino ll'rcd at each other from long
range over the telegraph wire.
The gcmlem.m to whom we refer is
31 r. George C. Thomas, a well known
member of the Athens bar, the duel
in which lie participated took place near
Penth-fd, Ga., while he was attending
college •there, His antagonist—who
we alu’.l de.ignata as J iiu S.ni h — was
also in uiesa'.nc school. Mr. Thomas
was drily nineteen years of age at the
time, but Smith was a couple of years
his senior. Both were known to he
game boys, who would light at the drop
ota hut and drop it themselves; and
when the news was made known that
they hud a falling out their associates
knew at once that the afla ; r would not
end without fight. •
Thomas was the challenging party,
and when the cartel was delivered to
►Smith he at once accepted the chal
lenge, and having choice of weapons
li lined bowio knives, the antago
nists to be stripped to their waist anu
heade, 1 up in a large barrel, where they
would light to their death.
To this proposition Mr. Thomas re
adied that .south was 41 fool to think lie
■would consent to such an arrangement;
that his opponent being a much larger
and stouter man, could overpower and
disarm him and hack his body into mince
meat, which ho would unhesitatinglydo.
But lie would fight Smith with pistols
at ten paces, and let him name the time
and place. He would be on band.
This proposition was accepted, and
that same evening tiie duelists stood
facing each other. Air. Fluker, who
now lives at Union Point, was Mr.
Thomas’ second, and the field of battle
was on the outskirts of Peniield, in a
secluded spot.
It was agreed that five shots should
be fired by each party before an attempt
at settlement was made, and tq this
preposition both consented.
There were no signs of backdown In
either principal, and they recognized
the fact that it was to be a duel to the
death, and that it was all-important to
kill or disable the other man before he
could return the fire. Smith was
known as a dead-shot with a pistol, and
the spectators looked to see dhosnas go
down at the first fire. But he was as
nerveless as a statue. lie stood sideways
to Ins antagonist, and the desermined
look in his keen eye showed him a
stranger to fear.
The words were given :
Gentlemen are you ready ?
Both men answered simultaneously,
“Heady I”
Fire,
One,
Two,
Three,
Ordered the second of Mr. Thomas.
At the word ‘"Fire” Thomas’ pistol
Wei it off, quickly followed by the re
port of Smith's weapon. The haste
with which the former gentleman shot
doubtless ,-aved Isis life, for liis bullet
p i-sed through the bridge of Smith’s
nose, just belo v his eyes, and he was In
st .utiy bli'idetl with the flow of blood.
His shot whistled past Mr. Thomas’
Vkilhoi.t touching him. Then just
fa-t as tiie men could pull their triggers
these little leaden messengers of death
were sent forth. Neither party moved
out of his tracks, and Smith with his
face streaming with blood, refused to
a.-k for quarter but continued to
empty liis revolver in the direction his
antagonist stood, although lie could not
see him. 3Ir. Thomas followed his
tirstshot with three others, every one
taking effect in Smith’s body, lie was
as cool and deliberate as if shooting at
four-legged game, and did his best to
kill his opponent. As he tried to tiro
his fifth and last shot his pistol refused
to act, although- he had a dead bead
drawn on the heart of his antagonist.
Only one of Mr. Smith’s bullets struck
its mark, which clipped a piece from
31 r. Thomas’ fourth finger, with which
he was pulling the the trigger, and then
passed through his clothes in close range
to his heart.
There being no more loads in either
pistol, the seconds stepped forward
and lead their principals aside. Both
men insisted that their weapons be. re
loaded that they might have another
round, but as Smith was faint from loss
of blood, the request was refused. At
this time one of the Professors ap
peared on the ground, which of course
ended the affair for that day.
Fortunately, while Smith had re
ceived four of Mr. Thomas’ balls, not
one infiieted a fatal or very serious
wound, an 1 iu a few days he was oat
again. Both men.however, will carry to
their grave the scars that they received
in this fight.
The belligerent gentlemen never met
again until the Cotton Exposition in
Atlanta, when they came face to face
ou the grounds. Neither party spoke or
appeared to recognize the other.
This is the story told the Banxkk re
porter by an eye-witness to the affair.
He said he never in his life saw two
braver men. They seemed utterly in
different to death, and stood as im
movable in their tracks as statues^
3Ir. Thomas was yesterday hunted up
by a reporter and asked if the story o:
of the duel was correct.
“Oh, yes,” l.c replied, “but that is
now a ehesnut.”
“Were you not afraid ?” we asked.
‘fXot while the firing was going on,
but as soon as it was over I think I did
get a little nervous. But I am done
with duelling now, unless you say any
thing about this old affair, when I may
change my mind.”
“What do you think of lire Huff-Pat-
terson affair ?”
“Well, my idea is that if two men are
anxious to fight they can always find an
opportunity to de so. When a fellow’s
blood is up he don’t stop to count the
costs. There may be a fight j et bet ween
these gentlemen. It sorter looks that
way.”

COM. HENDERSON
iND HIS PROPOSITION ABOUT THE COT
TON TARE.
I»It*. Fo3gson T.iir.ks it AllEos'i—An Inter-
v evv With This Prominent Cotton Man
—Some Tacts and Figures Which
Lvstrove What Mr. Kendarson
Claims For the Tare.
The letter of Mr. Henderson in yes
terday’s Consti ution, purporting to
.bring glad tidings to the farmers from
the recent meeting in New Orleans
about the tare question, seems to have
fallen short of its intention.
A close investigation made by Mr.
Geo. T. Hodgson on the figures shows
that Commissioner Henderson lias
grossly erred in declaring that he has
saved the farmer $1.4U per bale on ali
cotton covered with cotton bagging and
6'.) cents per bale on all covered in
jute.
With the desire of giving the farmers
this calculation as given by Mr. Hodg
son, 11 Banner reporter asked him yes
terday why this gain of $1.40 and GO
cents of which Mr. Henderson spoke
could uot be realized.
“Well,” said ilr. Hodgson, “as it
now stands Commissioner Henderson
proposes to the farmers to take from
t ie g oss weight of liis cotton sixteen
pounds when covered in cotton bagging,
an 1 twenty-four when covered with
jute. This would seem to me a loss of
$1.60 in one case and $2.40 iu the
other.”
“And why?” asked the Banner rep
resentative.
“For the very simple fact that all
cottou has heretofore been sold gross,
and the farmer has reaped the benefit
and profit of selling jute bagging and
ties that cost him from 4}do. to 5e. per
pound at cotton prices, and this is in
reality the cause of the whole fight
against the jute trust, as the price
asked by the combination was so high
that the farmer made comparatively
nothing on bis bagging.
“Commissioner Henderson proposes
to the farmer to lose the 1G pounds in
one instance and 24 pounds in the other
or, $1 GO and $2.40 to which must be
addedAhe price paid for the bagging
and ties in the first place. For exam
ple : A farmer buys six yards of cotton
bagging costing 7S cents, and six ties at
25 cents. He loses this in addition to
the sixteen pounds tare or a total of
$2.63 on cotton wrapped iu cotton bag
ging, and comparatively more in jute
agging.”
“What is the difference. 3Ir. Hodg
son, in this connection between the
cotton and the jute sagging?”
“Well, let’s see: It takes six yards
of bagging to cover a bale of cotton.
The bagging costs ^7S cents. At ten
J cents per pound a ‘farmer would re-
j eeive for this forty cents, a loss of thir-
j tv-eight cents. In secondhand jute
! weighing 2pounds, costing him, say
1 ar ! ten cents at the outside, making sixty
cents, for which lie receives at the same
price as above $1.35,a difference of $1.13
cents iu cost of wrapping in second
hand bagging, which is by no means
overcome in the difference of tare of
eight pounds . This shows that a far
mer loses33 cents at the very least in
the difference in wrapping in cotton
and.second hand jute.
The Alliance accomplishes the same
purpose by wrapping their cotton in
second hand jute, pine straw or cotton,
by defeating the sale of new jute.”
There is obviously much sound rea
soning in 3Ir. Hodgson’s calculation,
and his thorough experience in the Cot
ton business is only a further voucher
for its correctness.
Hodgson Bros, are strong friends of
the farmers and the Alliance, as maybe
seen from the' closeness with which they
study the interest of the farmers.
Mr. Jim Crow’s Health.
Last night about twelve o’clock par
ties' brought the news to Athens of the
death of Mr. Jim Crow, an old and re-

about five o’clock and died in a short
while. Ho was an old Confederate sol
dier and fought four,years for the South.
He was the largest man in this sec

Bernard Heringhi, a well-known

concerning the Louisiana State Lottery.

Francisco (Cal.) Call, Aug, 8.
Inspector Byrnes, New York’s big de
tective, was right when he declared that for
audacity, low cunning and shrewd depravity
on one side, and blind infatuation on the
other, the Robert Ray Hamilton-Kva Mann-
Mother Swinton case, now before the courts,
has no parallel in the police records ol New
York. Here is a man, rich, so intellectually
bright that he is chosen to represent his city
in the szato legislature. He is descended
from an aristocratic ancestry that comprises
Alexander Hamilton, the Sebuylers, Van
■fteusselaers, Beckmans and more than a
score of other old families, whose names are
tinged with the purple and gold of inherited
wealth, and are like an open sesame to “the
best society.’’ He zisits, some four years
ago, the professional habitation of a strum
pet, and, falling in love with her, contributes
liberally to her support.
Meanwhile the woman, with the means
thus supplied, supports one Josh Maun, and
with the knowledge of Hamilton lives with
him iu open concubinage, taking liis name.
According to his own testimony Hamilton
helps to find him when he goes astray from
bis mistress, but the public confession is
made with bowed head and skamod face.
Mann is always shadowed by another crea
ture—his mother, the so called Mrs. Swinton
—and together they concoct a plan whereby,
with the younger adventuress, u baby is
brought into the scene. Hamilton is made
to believe that it is his owp, and with a chiv
alrous sentiment difficult to explain ha mar
ries the woman Eva.
Not merely one baby but three have been
provided before. The scheme moves success
fully. They were cheap children, however,
being purchased for a song from convenient
midwives, and died from inanition—a lack of
proper food. A little thing like this not being
permitted to interfere with the projects of
the conspirators, they secured a fourth in
fant, this time a $10 babe, and Providence,
with its inscrutable ways, seems to have
chosen this little innocent, now 8 months old,
as an instrument of vengeance. A nurse,
one Donnelly, was hired to take care of it.
In a fit of wild passion the pretended mother
seized a knife and sent the nurse to death's
door. Then came the police, the investiga
tion, the hastily concocted stories of Mother
Swinton and of commonplace Josh Mann, the
revelation that $10,000 had been expended on
the crew during the last four years, and that
the pretended mother, Eva, had forced a will
from young Hamilton for the benefit of his
child.'
It was time now for the friends of the in
fatuated dupe to step in, and they did so,
although, still chivalrous, he attempted to
shield the woman he believed to be his lawful
wife and the legal mother of his offspring.
Securing the services of Inspector Byrnes an
investigation was begun and the plot above
detailed unraveled. Is it a wonder that the
chief of New York detectives should declare
it to be one of the most cunningly and auda
ciously devisea projects known in his wide
experience to procure the transfer of a man’s
property to an illegitimate heir? Not a - few
people are even asking the question 'whether
the sequel of the plot might uot have been a
murder.
THE CUNNINGIIAU-BCF.DELL MURDER.
The incidents recall the tragedy that oc
curred ou the night of the 30th of January,
1S57, when Dr. Harvey Burdell, a noted den
tist of New York ci ty, was found dead in his
own house on Bond street, then one of the
fashionable localities of the metropolis. His
landlady, Mrs. Cunningham, sustained the
relation of mistress to him, and claimed to
have own secretly married and therefore en
titled to his fortune; but the subsequent testi
mony showed that tho certificate of marriage
was based upon a fraud, and that her as
sumption of widowhood was equally false.
Two of her boarders, Eckel and Snodgrass,
were committed to prison os pai ties concerned
with her iu the crime. The trial created
intense excitement throughout the country,
being scarcely less celebrated than those
of Professor Webster for the murder of
Dr. Parkman, and of John C. % Colt
for the murder of Adams. Like Eva Matin,
the woman Lad led a vagrant life, lived in
various places under different nunies, and
with determined art had secured a hold upon
Dr. Burdell which he found ditllcult to resist.
Fiuaily a quarrel ensued over lost papers, and
the next morning b*» was found dead upon
tho floor of his office with fifteen stabs in his
body. For want of legal proof the woman
and her alleged accomplices were acquitted.
Not content with this, she opened another
chapter in the drama. Applying for letters
of administration upon the murdered man’s
estate, she “made up” in her physical appear
ance those outwai'd evidences that indicated
her alleged marriage had not been on un
fruitful oue. Eventually she confessed that
her apparent condition was pretended, and
she offered a doctor a thousand dollars to pro
cure her a babe.
The then district attorney, Police In
spector Dilks and Capt. (afterwards In
spector) Speight being apprised of the
plot, lent it every encouragement. One
of Hie officers was in her house even when
the child was supposably born. Mrs. Cun
ningham on being asked by the atteuding
physician, “Do you claim this child as the
ehfid of Dr. Harvej Burdell?” replied, “Of
course; whose else should it be?” The officers
now entered the room and the fraud was ex
posed. The doctor informed them of the
fictitious birth, and the borrowed infant was
sent back to Bellevue hospital and restored
to its mother, a lying in patient in that in
stitution. . . ,
Mrs. Cunningham escaped the penalty of
ner crime owing to the irregular means em
ployed in obtaiuiug the evideuce, but she
failed to establish either her marriage to Dr.
Bor dell or her right to any part of his prop
erty.
A TERRIBLE TEMPTATION.
Numerous cases might be cited in which
innocent childreu have thus been made the
instruments of atrocious schemes like the
above, but * they constitute the small ro
mances oi life that rarely come to the trou
bled surface of a police court, and hence are
not of official record. Unless crime is sus
pected, it is nobody’s business to go beyond
the advertisements of “children for adop
tion” that appear in the daily journals, and
trace the careers of these little ones, but be
hind them ali is some life story, and in not a
few instances it concerns the rich as well as
the poor and depraved.
Charles Reade in his thrilling novel, “A
Terrible Temptation,” seems to have “caught
on” to the idea as a basis for its plot. A
mere outline is sufficient. One Richard Bas
sett believes that ho is entitled to an old fain
ily estate that in tho line of entail rightfully
belongs to his cousin, Sir Charles Bassett.
Being unscrupulous, be resorts to every
means short of actual crime to prevent the
marriage of the latter and a possible heir.
1 Meanwhile hi himself marries and at the
same time establ'shes a liaison with one Mary
Wells, a* servant, and the daughter of a
gypsy. Sir Charles also marries, and his
bride takes Into employment this Mary
Wells. A year or two passes and Lady Bas
sett, knowing the feud that exists between
the cousins, mourns over her failure to pro
duce issue, fearing that the misfortune will
cause nn estrangement between herself and
The Bar- j LU j^urhig a fox hunt Rir Charles is thrown

•Xot to the Man- | (lent, and the scheming Richard avails him
self of the circumstance to send his cousin to
a lunatic asylum. At this juncture Mary
Wells, in her great affection for her mistress,
confesses to Lady Bassett that, having bean
indiscreet, she is about to become a mother,
and suggests that if Lady Bassett will simu
late her own condition the child shall lie her
own for all time. Sir Charles in his eagerness
for an heir will be gratified, his health will
be restored and the estate bo preserved in its
entirety secure from the machinations of the
cousin Robert. After a long mental struggle
Lady Bassett agrees to the plan. Sue goes to
London, takes quiet lodgings, the child of
Mary Wells is born, transferred to the bed of
her mistress, and in due time is produced as
the time son and heir of Sir Charles. He re
covers.
The boy becomes the apple of his eye, but
is nursed all the time by its real mother,
Mary Wells, who has pretended to he a
widow. As years pass the putative mother,
Lady Bassett, yields to an inherent dislike for
the boy, and Sir Charles himself wonders at
his strange idiosyncrasies, his wild, reckless,
untamable, gypsy like nature, his dark, ori
ental eyes and other features so unlike any
other member of his race. Finally Lady
Bassett confesses that the lad is uot her son,
but in tho loyalty of his affection Sir Charles
refused to believe it.

Without following the story further, it will
bo seen that the novelist has utilized some of
the many possibilities that may attach to
transplanted babies. The playwright has
given usaunique plot in “Little Lord Fauut-
leroy” which concerns tho use made of
strange children, and Gilbert, in “Pinafore,”
makes tho bumboat woman sing:
When I was young and charming,
And practiced baby farming.
I mixed these children up.
But, as a prominent police official said to the
writer, “There is no case on our records
where, reaching over a considerable period
of time, a fraud like that of the Mann girl
has been successful. Now and then a party
is brought out, like the Buffalo girl the other
day who scared a youn# fellow into fits by
showing him a baby in bed which, as she
claimed, was his own and all ripe for adop
tion; but when tho old ladies in the boarding
house put on their spectacles it was found to
be two or three months old. Incidents of
this kind are common, especially among the
lower classes. But do you remember the
Rochester case?”
“Some twelve years ago,” continued the
official, “a young fellow of means fell in love
with an up town giri, bright, ambitious, but
compared with him poor. They were mar
ried and after a time lie went abroad on
commercial business. She remaiued iu New
York. During his absence a child was
‘born.’ That young chick came from a
foundling asylum, and if you knew the par
ties you would see them driving through
Central park almost any bright.day in the
year—the husband a thoroughly deceived
man, but in all probability his will has been
made in favor of that boy.” I
The part that on illegitimate child may
play iu the affairs of life may be further il
lustrated by an incident or two.
“Massa,” saiu an old time colored servant
to the scior. of one of the richest families in
the south, “young mistis tell me to bring do
baby ’roun’ Cor see yo’.” It was his oyvn
:hiid born out of wedlock, but she was adopt
ed by him and grow to bo a woman. Pos
sessing a magnificent voice and handsome
presence, she became famous iu social circles
as a musician, and finally, while traveling
abroad, wus courted and won by an Italian
count. There was no doubt about his ances
try, but he was impecunious and a rascal.
By the generosity of her “father,” she was
enabled for & long time to keep her husband
supplied with funds, but when those gave out
he rfesorted to blackmail and something worse.
Incarcerating her in a lunatic asylum, the
villain demanded blood money until thou-
sauds of dollars were expended for her care,
yet used by him. When the end came, it
was found that she had been deliberately
•hut off from friends and home, that she was
anything but insane and had died from cruel
ty and a broken heart The father, too, now
bos a broken heart, for the story is known to
thousands.
Another incident within the knowledge of
the writer, which illustrates the importance
of “a baby in tho house,” isos follows: Father
and baby were both desperately ill at the
same time. By the terms of a will, if the
father died first an Umnense property was to
revert to his wife or child. If the child died
first the property was to go to his side of the
house. Representatives of the two factions
sat in adjoining rooms for two days, trying
to prolong these valuable lives—a mother and
relatives ou oue side and a grandmother, with
a host of sisters, cousins and aunts, on the
ether.
Fate threw the dice for the baby, nowever,
and turned up trumps. It lived just five i
minutes after the father breathed his last,
iu less than a year the mother remarried.
Today another generation is enjoying the
thousands a year because a battle was suc
cessfully fought over a baby’s last sigh.
Who will say, after all these incidents, that ;
the pickaniniea are not big factors in our
social life?
