Current Personal:,.
“Stop liim!” “stop liim!” This was
the cry that rent the air from the braw
ny throat of a couple of Athens police
men last night about 9 o’clock.
A man was running up Wall street
closely followed by tho olliccrs.
The trio swiftly passed down Clayton
street, up Thomas to Washington, and
soon the fugitive was seen to disappear
over the fences hack of the Pioneer
tire company’s hall. That was the last
seen of him, for by a skillful inaueitve r
he had given the oflicers the slip.
That man wasCharley Schuhardt,well
known to every Athenian.
He purchased a cow yesterday from
Mr. Martin, agreeing to pay him $15
for her. He could uot pay cash, and
agreed to sell the meat, and let Mi.
Martin collect the money for him and
reserve liis share.
Charlie killed the animal, and sold
the hulk to Mr. Hertllng and the re
mainder in small quarters, but took
particular pains to demand the cash
which was paid. He then determined
to leave the city, but Mr. Martin drop
ped on to iiis little game, aud put the
case in the hands of the police.
They diligently searched the city,
and at last, Mr. lien Culp and Night-
watchman Hayes ran upon him on Wall
street, and attempted to arrest him,
which resulted in the lively chase.
Nothing lias been heard of him since.
Charley Schuhardt has for years been
a well-known butcher in Athens, and
Ids escapade was a considerable sur
prise.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
OCONEE AI.I.TANCB TO PUT OUT COUNTY
OFFICERS NEXT TlH’lt.SIlAY.
The Alliance of Oconee county will
hold an important meeting at Watkins-
viHe on next Thursday, and itis thought
will put out candidates for all the coun
ty officers. Their endorsement will be
synonymous of election.
There is an unusually small number
of candidates iu the held for ailthc offi
ces, and politics will be quiet iu our
little sister county.
It is thought tb'nt Col. B. E. Overby
will go to the Legislature without oppo
sition.
The congressional race is very quiet,
but Colley, apparently, would carry the
county at an election now.
Mr. J. B. lluuniciitt got in his cam
paign lick at Bishop, and the farmers
are all whooping him up.
If there is one thing that Oconee
solid in, it is the sub-treasury bill. They
are for it first, last and all the time.

I AM NOW ABLE TO KEEP A COW.
referred to. As a resident and taxpayer
of Stnton Island I know that I but voice
tho sentiments of many of my neighbors
when I say that we do not wish to have
New York annexed to ns.
In tho first place, most of ns removed
to Staten Island in order to get out o
the city of New York and its tempta
tions, and we do not desire to have the
noisy town follow us to our lair with its
civilization and its sewer gas. For in
stance, I am now able to keep a cow.
and every night with a wild onion
scented breath she winds slowly o’er
tho lea. If New York should he an
nexed to us an alderman would milk
«er probably on her way home, and soi.n
also her sweet breath would ilisiqqxmr.
it first she would seek to deceive me
iy eating clovbs or catnip on the way
koine. Then gradually she would lay
>side all reserve and come up at a late
tour, getting into the corral with great
difficulty, accompanied by a jag.
This cow I am especially proud of, and
I may trutlifully say that she has led a
comparatively blameless life thus far.
Hint is, it would lx) so regarded in n
large city, I mean. Sho is as simple or, a
buttercup. She has almost constantly
communed with nature and has never
smelled a gas leakiu her life. What she
would do if we were to become an
eighty-seventh ward of New York city i
do not know.
Many of my friends also keep goats.
M. Tucson Kelly, a neighbor of mine
on Airyctty street, says that he has a
new milch goat that was born on Staten
Island, and has never yet seen an elevated
train. Ho says ho would hate to see the
noise and cussed ness of a great city creep
in and usurp the [dace for our bon homme
and dirt roads.
“Possibly,” adds M. Tucson Kelly, of
Airyetty street, Tomcatsville, “I may do
tho better classes of New York city a
great injustice, for folks tells me that it
is not the best classes that comes over
here on Sunday to play hall and escort a
large oxydized jag home at night; but
from what we see we form an idea that
onr relations with South and East New
York might become strained at most
any time if we should become Ward 87
of the city.” -»
Mr. Robert Craig, of Rossvillo, a
dealer in fresh laid cucumber pickles
and embryo lions, says that he ho[ies we
shall not he compiled to restore tho de
pleted treasury of New York city and
help pay for elevated sidewulks on Man-
liattan island while we have got over
eighty square miles of greon country,
froali from the hand of the Creator,
where the soprano song of the thrush
mingles richly with the rumbling bass
of tho lusty mosquito. “Why should the
three 6tory high stoop brown stone
front creep stealthily into my truck
patch?” ho succinctly asks, and no one
yet has successfully replied.
Mr. Craig says that the first man who
attempts to build a ten story brick block
on his premises will have to do so over
his dead body. He says thut it may be
all right for Brooklyn to join New York,
because the feed for stock is poor there
anyway, but when Wall street gets to
running to his well to water its stock it
is time to call a halt.
It is urged that we would have a larger
police force on Staten Island if we were
a i>art of New York city, and that has
dodfe a great deal to build up the opposi
tion to annexation, I think. That is one
good thing now atiout Staten Island.
She is almost free from the encroach
ments of that bane of civilization—the
police. Three policemen on week days
and four on Sundays surround Rich
mond county with the clutch of a giant,
and any outbreak or disorder outside of
the hospital is a thing almost unknown
or, if finally known of, it is so late that
the matter has already blown over.
I claim that corruption ought to come
on a town gradually. It ought not to
bo let loose like a Conemangli flood
without notice. Staten Island has a fair
start in this lino, and as Hhe grows her
political corruption will no doubt keep
pace with her growth; but it is tough to
turn loose the veteran enssedness of nil
old and famous metropolis on the fresh
and dew laden districts, where the gentle
jay will at once fall a victim to the lust
and rapacity of the versatile and accorn
plished metropolitan felon.
What would a horny handed agricult
urist like George William Curtis or
Erastns Wiman or Willie Winter do if,
while he happened to be bugging his po
tatoes or salivating his squash vines, the
legislature should suddenly turn loose
upon the Island a horde of accomplished
he-sirens with staccato voices to woo
the pure patriot from his disagreeable
and poorly paved path of rectitude?
What would I do?
I am almost sure that I would fall,
would fall with au ear piercing plunk.
Almost every time I go over to New
York now I do something or other
which, in the light of cooler reasoning
and far away from teinptatiou, I can see
wua autre and almost dishabille.
No, we are not yet ripe, Mr. Editor,
for city life. We wonld run right down
if you should take ns off grass and feed
ns on ground feed and rich victuals
Linoleumville, Rossvillo and Perth Am
boy feel just as I do About it If the
malm M f nantflOte
city we will have to stand it, I presume,
and help pay for school houses, county
line roads und gopher scalps on Manliat-
tan Island from that on; but I know I
voice the sentiments of a man here who
writes a good deal for the papers over
the uom de plume of “Taxpayer,” and
several other well known writers both
at home and abroad, when I say that the
Great Spirit gave us these lands, and we
shull oppose tho paleface who comes to
us with smooth promises and tiles to be
the godfather to our little cliildren.
We do not understand the ways of the
paleface from New York.
Yet wo will accept onr destiny, what
ever it may he, if it cannot lie avoided.
The Staten Islander suffers, hut he never
weeps. Ho gets it in the neck, but ho
never squeals.
Our forefathers settled on the island,
and here they hunted the same fox that
we hunt now. He has grown up amongst
us. He loves us. He comes and eats
out of our hand and lets us hunt him.
He comes up nights and is a good road
ster. We are attached to these lands.
Here we can see the broad and heaving
bosom of the ocean. It is open all
night.
Here wo may gather berries in the
summer time; also soft shell crabs and
mirth provoking lolwters. Here we may
take a straw ride down Jersey street or
catch a swift horse car and see tho plas
ter mill and smell tho Standard oil
works.
But in a few years, whore now the new
milcli goat [icruieutea tho saline air witli
his pungent presence—or her presence
rather, of course, in this case—and where
the bobolink swings to and fro on the
boneset bough, a metropolitan museum,
ojien where it will do the least good, will
bo seen perhaps. Polite ticket chop[x*rs
will brain tho masses from New Dorp
and tell them to step lively, please.
Gentle things will tell you “there is
plenty of room forward” when it is a
Brolxlignaggian lie from the east side.
To give a seat to a lady iu a car will then
be tlie mark of a jay. as will also tho
gentle “tliank you” in return lie regarded
as the grand hailing sign of the juyess.
So tho Staten Islander asks [xnwission
to worship tlie Greut Spirit undisturbed
and wear flannel shirts even after C
o’clock, and he wants time to get used
to tlie ways of the world ft little before
he is called upon to dwell in ft great city
or wear tho straight brim derby of
Little Fifth avenue.
It is true that New York has outgrown
her garments, and that she is oozing
gradually through the [lores of her Jer
sey, hut why not extend back up the
Hudson to Albany, where they are used
to political corruption and mussed up
irtue?
Wliy cross the beautiful bay to swell
up our clover meads and broad, green
lawns with the odor of* sewer gas and
private and poorly plumbed legislation'
Why enter the hallowed prceincts of the
Vanderbilts, and the Van Toozleums
and the Van Wycks, and the De Nyes
with the odor of a loud smelling political
past and tho fortissimo present, rich
with the promises of future elections,
which will even turn the stomach of its
own Maduro Stenehero cigars?
Oil, spare us then. Mr. Editor, and give
ns n chance to learn something of metro-
politan government lief ore we are called
upon to grupple with it. At present we
ire ashamed almost to let folks from
town come and see liow awkwardly our
corruption lias been done here so far.
Little as I know about such things I can
see all the [mints in these jobs. Our
boodlers are only apprentices so far. and
I would be mortified to death to have
city folks drop in suddenly ou us aud see
tho amateur way our stealing is done.
Society here is at its full height now.
Everything is quite gay. Mr. Stilton, of
South Fifth avenue, a sleeping ear offi
cial, who lias the night run betwixt New
York and Hornellsville, and wife, are
visiting Mr. and Mrs. Web. Whitmore,
of the Comity Seat. The Whitmores
were worth $2,000 before the war, but
after the emancipation proclamation you

Au Appalled Guest.
This happened away in the backwoods
of Arkansas. A tourist going over the
6tate on horseback stopped for the night
at one of the popular hotels of a certain
locality. The hotel happened to be a log
and slab affair of three rooms and the
saifie number of beds, while the proprie
tor was the proud parent of nine wild and
woolly looking sons under $5 years of
age. After a sapper of “hog and hom’ny”
the host suid to one of the boys:
“Come, Billy, get the broom straws.”
Nine broom'straws of unequal lengths
were pnxluced by Billy. The father hid
them iu tiis hand in such a manner that
only an end of each straw could be seen.
Then each boy drew u straw.
“Ha, ha!” said the merry parent jovi
ally. “Bill, yon an’ Buck an’ Lige git
the short ones."
“What does that mean?” asked the
amused guest, whose look of amusement
faded away when his host said;
“Mean? Why, that’s a little way we
have o’ settlin’ which three of ’em shull
sleep with any gent that happens to stop
over night with us. I ’spect you’ll find
Buck and Bill and Lige mighty lively
bedfellers, but don’t yon be afeerd to
give ’em a warmin’ up with your boot or
a bed slut if they git to trainin’ too high.
Go ’long, boys, an’ pile in with this gent
and mind that you behave yourselves."

Full at tho Tablo.
An Austin man read in the paper that
tho family should always be tlie Kfcene
of laughter and merriment, and that no
meal should t»e [Missed in the moody si
lence that bo often character's those
occasions. The idea struek him so favor
ably that when his family was gathered

“Now, this sort o’ thing of keeping so

Atlanta, June 28.—No determina
tion has has yet been reached in the very
intersting questions over the lease of the
Western and Atlantic railroad.
Eleven o’clock this morning was the
time fixed by the governor for the open
ing of the bids as provided by the terms
of the act the public was invited to be
present au 1 in order that all might be
accommodated the Governor decided
that the bids should be opeued iu the
Senate chamber.
[UK SERVICE.
1 he commission to decide the m itter
consists of the Governor, the Treasurer,
the Comptroller General, the Secretary
of State aud the Attorney General. All
of these gentlemen were present and
accupied seats near the Governor, who
was in the chair of the Senate. It was
quite an animated scene. The
railroad men were there iu force
particularly those connected with the
Louisville and Nashville. President
Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis; M.ijor Stnhlmau and a
dozen or so employees of the L. & N.
system; Mr. Pat Calhoun, Mr. Jack
Spalding and other gentlemen identified
with the terminal system,; a delegation
from tlie Atlanta Chamber of Coni -
meree, and a number of other well-
known citizens, were iu (lie audience.
THE BIDS.
Gov. Gordon, when the hour of elev
en o’clock arrived, took up an envelope
addressed to him, a .d tearing it open,
read the bid of John H. finnan. Presi
dent of the West Point Terminal Com
pany. This bid was for twenty-nine
years at $.'15,000 per month.
After Secretary Harrison bad record
ed it the Governor tore open tlie second
package, which proved to be tiie bid of
President Thomas, of the N., C. «fc Sf
L, This bid covered exactly the same
term of years, and was for $55,001 per
month. There were no other bids and
as I predicted yesterday the N. C. & St.
L. was the highest. After he had read
that the Governor announced that the
commission would retire and consider
which, if either, should be accepted.
There was a period of waiting, and
within a few minutes after 12 o'clock
Gov. Gordon and the State-house oil)
cers returned.
MORE TIME NEEDED.
“We have been unable,'' said Gov
Gordon, “to finally determine upon the
matters arising from these bids, and
will take further time. We are unde
eided as to the term of years. Whether
the lease bill means that there must lx-
three specilie I terms of twenty, thirty
aiul fifty years, or whether any number
of years between these figures can be
adopted, ceertaiuly we wished toconsult
further.” With tint the crowd left and
the commission adjourned to meet again
iu the office of Treasurer Hardeman at
four o’clock.
Whatever the intenti.ui of the makers
of the lease act may have been, tlie bur
den of opinion among the lawyers who
have studied the act is that these bid.-
come clearly within the provisions. The
exact language of the act bearing upon
this point is as follows:
The said lease to be for a term of not
less than twenty years, and for a sum of
uot less than $35,000 p er month.
Or, for n term of not less
tliau thirty years, and for a sum of not
less than forty thousand dollars per
month. Or, for a term of fifty year ,
and for a sum of not less than fo-ty-fite
thousand dollars per ineuth; the rental
to be paid monthly into tlie Treasury «r

in Joint Debate.
Sptciel by News Telegram Association.
Douul \88viLLK,Ga., June 28.—Judge
Stewart arrived in the city last night,
and Col. Livingston came up on the
Salt Springs train at half past ten. Col.
Livingston and Judge Stewart inarched
arm in arm up to the College building
where the debate was held. The house
was [tacked, four or five hundred peo
ple were present. Mr. A. B. Stewart
was called to the chair. Dr. Tom Whit-
ty then introduced Col. Livingston,
who made a good and straight forward
speech, He said he wanted to serve the
l>eople not himself. That the election
bill was founded to provoke cuss words
from the democrats to use in the next
nitional election. The farmers want a
man in Congress who knows what they
want and can accomplish it. I think I
can fill the lull.
In referring to tlie charge that tlie
sub-treasury plan was unconstitutional
because it was class legislation Colonel
Livingston defied Judge Stewart to
show any class in this country that had
not been legislated for unless it was tbe
poor farmers.
Judge Stewart was introduced by
