•*U • (St?S) once related
'.afternoon I decided to steai
and spend it with my old
down in Oglethorpe, where a
and hospitable greeting always
w a ts me.
Seventeen years ago I started may
journalists career in Crawford. The
only man I knew intimately in the
eounty was Capt. J. J. C. McMahan —
and right here let me add, I never bad
a truer or more loyal friend than
“Crit.” He went to work and got me
up a good list of subscribers for the
Echo, planted a large advertisement in
the paper, and from that day to this he
has never failed to befriend or lend me
a helping hand when called upon.
There are not a more whole-souled,
big-hearted people in the South than
those who live and itave their being in
the county of Oglethorpe. They ral
lied to the support of their paper to a
man, and after spending seven of the
most pleasant,years of my life among
them, when I moved from the county,
I do not think 1 left an enemy behind.
Since that time, while 1 have antago
nized some of thesw;oo(l people ill the
support of candUlates for office, at the
•atne time had 1 felt that the prosperity
of the county, or interests of the peo
ple, were at peril, 1 would have laid
aside everything to come their defense.
1 can never forget the generous kind
ness they showed me when I came
among them a stranger, without friends
and without means; and whatever suc
cess I may attain in life, 1 feel Chat I
am due to Oglethorpe and its people. I
never meet one of its citizens but that
1 feel I am grasping the hand of a
friend, and my heart goes forth to him
in gratitude.

THE HEBREW FA'TH
loij Exsmpt From the Reviser of
i Rituals, It Would Seem.
Tpe Central Kabbinical committee,
oiiipnsed «.| ministers of the Hebrew
tith from the leading synagogues of
lie rutted States, has just issued a re-
ort m the ritual now in aliiiosttini-
ersal use in orthodox congregations

The thriving town of Crawford of
today is very different' from what it
was when the Echo wns lirst started.
The ground now covered with hand
some stores and residences was an old
held. The late Mr. S. H. Stokely, with
his accustomed energy, had taken the
upbuilding of this place in hand, and
he soon made it the commercial metro
polis not only of Oglethorpe county,but
a good slice of EIbert’s trade came there.
Ti e Elhertou railroad was not then
completed, and its merchants wagoned
all of their freight from this depot..
Crawford took on a small-sized boom,
and property sold at city prices. The
people sometimes got their freight con
fused with another Crawford in south
west Georgia, am) one night met and
decided to change the name of the place
to Benton; but it didn’t stick, for the
grave of the great southern statesman,
William 11. Crawford, overlooking the
town, was a silent protest against the
unpatriotic act. Mr. Matt. Norton
knocked me up a shanty in which to
publish the Kcho. And 1 can never

knew, anil her neighbors look upon her
as “tlie salt of the earth.” She has a
large selection of exotics and hardy
plants and flowers^and in the spring it
is a treat indeed to the lover of the
beautiful to inspect her collection and
inhale the order-laden atmosphere that
enshrouds the house and premises. But
in this balmy anil genial clime,
“winter yet lingers in the lap of
spring,” and Mrs. W. culled from one
of the bushes growing in open air a
large and queenly red rose. Only think
of this, our Northern friends, who are
shivering in your freezing atmosphere,
that here in Middle Georgia roses are
still blooming in their greatest per
fection, even at Christmas!

Oglethorpe is now developing a new
industry—her granite quarries. The
whole country around Lexington anu
Crawford is underlaid *witn the finest
of stone for building and ornamental
purposes, and the citizens are at last
being aroused to this new and unlimited
source of wealth. Even now the gran
ite business of the South is only in its
infancy, but its consumption has in
creased ten fold in the last decade. It
is impossible to estimate what will be the
annual autcome of this newly-developed
product in the nextquarerof a century.
We confidently predict that thousands
of hands will lie at work quarrying
stone, and the granite yield to Ogle
thorpe county a far larger income than
all of her agricultural products com
bined. Mr. Doyle is now at work on
Mr. L. M. Johnson’s place, and makes
a specialty of finished work. A large
force of hands are quarrying rough
granite in Lexington for the G., C. &
N. road. The Lexington Terminal is
nuilding two branches to the quarries,
from which stone can he laden
directly on the trains. But
this is only a beginning. The granite
found in this section is far superior to
any yet diseovered in the country, and
the quarries are so easily worked, and
convenient to transportation, that they
will soon he covered with masons.
Most anywhere you have only to re
move a few feet of earth, to find an un
broken bed of the finest blue granite,
that splits like a rail, and will take on
the handsomest polish. So hard is this
Oglethorpe stone, there are a set of
steps to the college chapel in Athens
that were cut 75 years ago, anil the
edsres are as sharp as if just from the
chisel of a mason. There is no longer
excuse for Athenians to drive through
mud, for we have right at our gate-
stone enough to pave every city on the
American continent.

terations were made during that long
period of time, and soil has comedown
to the Jews of the present day in prac
tically the slime shape as the ritual of
former days.
Many were the efforts, however, for
an attempt at revision, hut beyond
slight changes in certain phrases the ef
forts never succeeded in amounting to
anything. The original ritual in the

It was shortly alter I had started the
Echo I first met Henry Grady, who was
men running the Atlanta Herald. The
train had stopped for about hall an hour
to take on wood and water, when
Grady, who was riding on the engine,
come into the office, where 1 was work
ing otl' the paper on a hand press. I
can never forget his kind words of
cheer and encouragement. He higlilv
complimented the Echo, made several
suggestions as to how I could improve
the paper, anil told me it I would perse
vere, keep up the lick 1 had started, and
stick to journalism, that I would “go to
Atlanta when 1 died.” From that time
until his death, Henry Grady was
ahv.ys one of mv best and most valua
ble friends. He at once adopted the
Echo as his especial pet among the
weekly press, and brought the little
paper into prominence by writing
columns of kind notices about it. From
the first issue, of the Oglethope Eeho
until now, it has enjoyed a high degree
«.f prosperity. The paper has never
changed h< ads but once, proof
conclusive of its value. Mr. W. A.
.Shackelford is now proprietor, and
I am indeed gratified to see the
admirable manner in which he is keep
ing up the paper—fully "pace with the
progress of the age.
The farmers of Oglethorpe are hold
ing back their cotton for an advance in
price—at least a portion ot it. Good
crops are geueraliy made, ami had a
fair price been paid for the staple, this
year would have set many planters
square with the world All the mer
chants in the county are solvent, and
doing well. In fact, taken as a whole,
we believe that the financial copdicion
of Oglethorpe county is 25 per cent,
better than it was before the Alliance
organized.
There are two cases now before the
Supreme Court from Oglethorpe that are
attracting considerable interest—the
Mr. Wray will case, aud Mr. L. M.
.Johnson claims foi damages against the
Lexington Terminal road. I know
nothing about the merits of either of
these cases; hut so far as Mr. Johnson
is concerned, it seems that he has cer
tainly good ground for claiming damage
to his property. That his place has de
preciated in value by the railroad em
bankment in front of his residence, any
observer must decide. He is disap
pointed over tlie loss of his case at tht
first trial, »nnd we don’t blame him,
either. We believe he will yet secure
his rights. Martin Johnson is a good

Wounded Skull Creek, Neb., Dec.
30.—Details of a bloody battle between
the troops and the hostiles are just com
ing in.
The Indians allowed the troops to sur
round them, twenty feet away, then
when the troops were about to capture
them they commenced firing. The
troops were at a great disadvantage,
fearing the shooting of their own com
rades. The Indian men, women and
children then ran to the south, the troops
firing rapidly as they ran. Soon mounted
troops were after them, shooting them
down on every side. The engagement
lasted fully an hour and a half. To the
south many took refuge in a ravine,
from which it was difficult to dislodge
them. It is estimated tiiat the soldiers
killed and wounded is about fifty.
It is impossible to state the exact num
ber of dead Indians. There are rnaiiy
more than fifty, however, killed out
right. The soidiers shot the Indians
down wherever found, no quarter being
given by tiny one.
Capt. Wallace, Company K, Seventh
cavalry, was killed, and Lieut. Garling-
ton, of arctic fame, was shot through
the arm at the elbow.
It was a most daring feat, 500 Indians
attacking 500 cavalry. It could only
have lieen insanity winch prompted such
a deed. It is doubted that either a buck
or a squaw out of all of Big Foot’s band
will be left to tell tlie tale of the day's
treachery.

Washington, Dec. 30.— Official dis
patches from Gen. Miles, dated Rapid
City, S. D., have lieen received by Gen.
Schofield, telling of the tight in the Bad
Lands on Monday between the Indian
hostiles and the white troops.
The first was by Gen. Brooke, and is
as follows:
“ Whitesides had four troops of cavalry
and held the Indians until Forsyth
reached him with four more troops. At
8:30 o’clock a. in., while disarming the
Indians, tlie fight commenced. I think
that very few Indians have escaped. I
think we will have this matter in hand
as soon as all are in position. There was
no precaution omitted. The fight oc
curred near the head of Wounded Knee
creek. I have just seen many of the In
dians, who went out towards Forsyth,
coming hack."
Another dispatch lias just been re
ceived, which says:
“Gen. Brooke 'telegraphs Forsyth and
reports that while disarming Big Foot's
hand a tight occurred—Capt. Wallace
and five soldiers killed; Lieut. Garling-
ton and fifteen men wounded. The In
dians are being hunted up in all direc
tions. None are known to have gotten
tl-eir ponies.”

Baltimore, Dec. 30.—The Manufac
turers' Record publishes in this week’s
issue its annual review of the industrial
progress of tlie south for 1890, showing
great activity and prosperity throughout
that section.
The total assessed value of property
for 1891 • is neavly $4,500,000,000, a gain
of $270,000,000 over 1889 and of $1,600,-

tal. Ten years ago the south had 220
national banks with a total capital of
§45,408,985. According to the report of
the United States comptroller of cur
rency, the net earnings of all southern
national banks for the twelve months
ended Nov. !!0, 1890, were $10,523,793, or
an average of 114 per cent, on the total
capital. Only two southern national
banks failed during the year, and both

in management, according to govern
ment rejiorts.
During the year 2,499. miles of railroad

crease of $24,141,010 over the correspond
ing months of 1889, while the increase
in tlie balance of the country was only
§4,834,477, the incresise at southern ports
being five times as great as the combined
gain at all other United States ports.
Tlie production of pig iron for the year
foots up to about 1.960,000 tons, a gain
of 395,(K)0 tons over 1889, of 830,000 tons
over 1888, and of more than 1,(*00,000
tons over 1887.
The total production of cotton for the
last six years has been 42,000,000 bales,
worth, including the value of seed sold,
about $2,300,000,000, or an average of
nearly $40O,(K<0.O0u a year.
The consumption of cotton by southern
mills was 549,487 bales last year against
266,001) hales in 1885, a gain of over 100
per cent. During tlie year 3,9(7 new
manufacturing enterprises, covering
every variety of industry from tack
works to steel works, were organized in

Commenting upon the statistics of the
south’s progress, Tlie Manufacturers’
Record says:
Tiie past twelve months have been a
period of unprecedented activity in every
department of industrial and commercial
enterprise in the south. Every factor in
busiuess reflects general activity. Tiie
railroads have been crowded with
freight beyond their capacity. The
banks have transacted an enormously
increased volume of business and have
earned handsome returns upon their capi
tal; agricultural and manufacturing
products have been put forth in great
quantity, and there htis been a tremend
ous flow of capital from every direction
to tlie south seeking investment. The
ptist year has not lieen one of booming
nor abnormal development, hut it lias
been essentially a jieriod of steady growth
upon a solid foundation. The south has
been put to severe tests during the past
year, but it has stood them all without
strain or injury, and stands better-in the
eyes of the world than ever before. An
abundance of everything that fields or
factories yield, has given the south am
ple resources with which to stand all
strains and to meet ail demands.
PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER.
Why J. P. Matthews, Postmaster at Car
rollton, was Killed,
Washington, D. C., Dec. 30.—Tlie
Evening Star prints the following in re
gard to the killing of John Prentiss
Matthews, postmaster at Carrollton,
Miss., by young McBride, a few days
ago. J. M. Matthews, a brother of the
dead man, furnished the information,
which, he says, are tlie facts in the case:
“John was murdered by a mob. He
had been notified by a dozen men that a
mob was going to kill him that day. He
saw the men with their guns, and got a
rifle. When he did this, tlie sheriff ar
rested him and placed him under bond.
John pointed three men out to the sheriff
and asked him to arrest them and pro
tect his life. The sheriff refused. It was
a plot, and all were in it. John told
Lloyd (a young man working for him)
that he thought they would kill him be
fore night. He stayed at the postoffice
until Ins second dinner bell rang, when
he said he would go to dinner. They
begged him not to go, but lie said he
would. When he reached the hotel
steps, Mr. McBride, who was still in his
drug store, shot him down with a shot
gun, killing him instantly. Not satisfied
with this, McBride tired five shots at
him from a revolver after he was dead.
‘•The mob then began dancing and
shouting arouud tlie body with most vile
abuses and curses. John had received
several anonymous letters telling him he
must leave town. The murderer goes
free, and all because they must have a
postoffice at Carrollton.
My brother was only 21 years old. He
w'as a bright, intelligent boy. He was
appointed postmaster several months ago
at Carrollton. While there have been a
number of threats against his life, I did
not think anything would come of it.
He was the first Republican postmaster
to take tlie Carrollton office for many
years, and it was freely said that no Re
publican should lioid office.”
Mr. Matthews, the dead man, comes
of an old family in Mississippi, and in
1883 his father was shot down by a mob
at Hazelhurst. Miss.
