Knocked Dovrn and Robbed.
On Monday afternoon of last
week our town marshal received a
telegram from Fenn instructing
him to arrest three negro boys
that were coming this way, search
them for money and hold them.
The boys soon came along and
were locked up. Tuesday morning
Mr. Thos. Turlington came up to
investigate these boys and told of
a daring deed that had been com
mitted near Fenn the afternoon be
fore.
j)/r. R. L. Paschal, a watermelon
buyer at Cordele, had some busi
ness at Fenn and decided to walk
up the railroad XVlien near the
water tank about a mile below Fenn
a shower of rain came up and he
stepped off the railroad and sought
shelter under a tree XV’hile stand
ing there three negro boys came
along. XVhen opposite him two
of them turned and went directly
toward him and when in a few feet
of him one of them pulled a pistol
and pointing it at him demanded,
“Your money or your blood!”
Mr. Paschal replied that he had
no money, so they would have to
take blood and grabbing a limb
struck the negro's arm that held
The returns of taxable property
in the various counties show a very
heavy depreciation of values.
Nearly every county shows a con
siderable decrease and the whole
makes a considerable difference;
so much so that the rate of taxa
tion levied by the last session of
the legislature will not be sufficient
to pay tile expenses of the state
and a higher rate will have to be
taxed. The returns for Dooly
have not not been sent in yet but
it is estimated that our property
values will be at least a half mil
lion dollars lower this year than
last year If this be true the tax
rate for the county may have to be
increased correspondingly.
And this brings us to speak of
the law authorizing a board of
tax assessors that was tried only
one year and then abolished by
the legislature. The Progress
plead for such a law a long time
before it was passed by the legis
lature. It was a good law and we
begged the people to try it a year
or two longer. But they conceived
an idea tint it was odious and had
it almost unanimously repealed.
IPe thought then it was wrong to
repeal it; we think so yet. And
now the poor people must pay- for
its repeal with an increased tax
rate. And so we truly, “Go buy
wild >m.”
Georgia’s Normal and Indus
trial School.
Our Girls’ Normal and Indus
trial school at Milledgeville though
only two years old is the pride of
the State. Here our girls may re
ceive an education that will ben
efit her, not only as a society but
terfly, but in the home, kitchen,
sick-room and parlor and may
learn any of the trades that are to
be filled by girls and thereby gain
a livelihood for themselves. Over
four hundred girls took advantage
of these opportunities last term
and many new ones are daily en
listing for the next term. If a
girl simply want6 a college educa
tion she can get it here to as good
advantage as anywhere. Not only
as good but better; for they are
taught in addition to literature,
dress-making, cooking and house
keeping. If a girl wants to learn
a trade whereby she may gain a
living she may learn teaching,
dress-making, telegraphy or ste
nography.
And the beauty of the whole is
that it is.a school for poor girls.
They all wear the same uniform,
live alike and the difference be
tween a millionaire’s daughter and
the poorest girl there could not be
told. The whole expense for a
sciiolustic year is $100,00 where
they board in the dormitory and
$135.00 where they board in pri
vate families. This includes the
incidental fee of $10.00, fu«.l, lights
and washing and all Georgia girls
that are healthy and over fourteen

Wo Trouble About Money
The fear has been repeatedly
expressed lately by the leading
statesmen, financiers, cotton fac
tors and newspapers over the en
tire cotton belt that there would
possibly be trouble about getting
money with which to move the cot
ton crop, because there was no
money in Southern banks and the
Northern banks had closed down
and would not loan any.
XX'e are glad to state that this is
not true in Georgia. Our banks
have plenty of money to move the
crop with. Our local bank, the
Bank of Vienna, auticipates no
trouble about furnishing all the
money necessary here and advices
from other points are to the same
effect. Savannah banks say, ship
the cotton along and there will be
no trouble about the money to pay
for it. It the mills will only give
the orders in the Uaited States or
England— and pay for the cotton
when it reaches them there will be
no trouble at this end of the line—
unless the situation changes.
This is good news to our section
Bring your oottoa to Vienna and
you will not only receive the money
for-it promptly but the very high
est market price.

OBITUARY.
Com m unicated.
Maggie Sumerford, eldest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Sumer
ford, died in Sumter county July
30th 1893 of malignant malarial
fever at the age of 14 years, 9
months and 3 days.
Maggie was born in Dooly but
her purents moved to Sumter when
she was about eight years old,
though Maggie has been in Dooly
going to school at Snow, Drayton
and Unadilla. At the time of her
sickness and death she was on a
visit to a girl friend.
Maggie joined the Baptist
church at a tender age and was
one of the sweetest girls I ever
knew. Tender, loving, unselfish,
devoted, kind, confiding, noble,
above reproach, gentle and true to
her instincts of right, she was a
lovable girl. Having been from
home for several years she boarded
in many families while she went
to school and all say, as well as
her teachers and school-mates,
that she was the purest, sweetest,
most obedient and kindest girl
they ever saw. XX’hen the news of
her death reached Unadilla, where
she had been going to school this
year, it cast such a gloom over the
town as I never saw there before;
all loved her devotedly and mourn
her death as one of brightest and
purest of all.
Her death was a sad blow to her
many friends; then what must, it
have been to her loving father who
idolized his child. In her were
wrapped his bright anticipations
of future happiness and joy. In
her he saw the culmination of all
his ambitions. And now she is
gone—and all is gone, of bright
ness from his life.
May the wounded hearts look up
to Him who only can comfort and
heal.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery at Snow, this county,
on Monday July 31st, witnessed by
many friends who loved her and
sincerely mourn her death.

Mr. Cleveland’s rheumatic leg
is causing the people who are
interested in -kicking the rascals
out to be very much interested in
his recovery. They think that he
has not kicked enough of them out
yet to disable his leg by rheuma
tism or otherwise.
That unwelcome visitor, death,
has again laid his hand upon one
of our loveliest, purest and sweetest
flowers, In the evening of July
30th. inst., Maggie Susan Sumer-
ford’s pure spirit took its flight
from her earthly home and re
turned into the realms of Eternal
Day.
XX r e cannot understand these dis
pensations of our good and kind
Heavenly Father now. but “when
the mists have cleared away” we
shall then be enabled to under
stand all mysteries. *
Maggie is not dead: she lias
just begun to live, and stands to
night waiting and watching for us.
XVe have lo-t a dear friend and
sweet school-mate, but we bow in
submission to the Divine will and
ask for grace to help us say, “They
will be done, not mine,” and help
the sorely bereaved ones to look up
amid their tears and say, “The
Lord gave and the Lord taketh
away, blessed be the name of the
Lord.”
Upon this cloud of sorrow which
has hushed in silence all the world
and made it so strangely dark,
God’s bow of mercy gleams through
the stillness of gloom and solitude
which death creates. He bids his
children to Iook up. His way is
perfect, and in sweet submission
His children bow.
If there be one that shares the
riches of a Father's presence more
than another it is the chastened
one. Shall we then repine that
he leads us in shadowy paths? In
love he gave, in love hath taken
away our darling, Maggie. He
took her in the radiant morn of
life, while her heart, like the whole
earth, was beautiful and glad; He
called her ere the shadows came or
the busy workings of life clash
and mar; cloud with doubt her
faith and trust in a Father’s wis
dom, or the XVorld’s great heart.
Every one loved this noble girl.
Bright she was, kind-hearted, lov
ing and true. Attractive in mind
and heart her life absorded many
noble and tender qualities. May
we all meet our dear school-mate
in that bright and Heavenly home
where there will be no more part
ing and no more tears.
Gone, while her life was filled
with song. Plucked by an Angel’s
hand, was our beautiful flower,
while in the heart, still sparkled
the dew which Heaven distilled.
In our brightest dreams we see her.
She is smiling; we are weeping.
She is singing; we are sighing.
She is calling; we bend to listen
and—
Over the river she beckons to me,
Lo'-ed one that crossed to the fur
ther side.
The gleam of her snowy robe J see.
But her voice is lost in the dashing
tide.
Over the riyer the boatman pale
Carried sweet Maggie, the house
hold pet.
Her golden hair waved in the gentle
gale;
Darling Maggie, I see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dim
pled hands.
And fearlessly entered the phan
tom bargue.
We felt it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew
strangely dark.
Over the river, the mystic river.
My childhood friend is waiting for
me.
Dear Maggie has left us but we
will not forget her. Time will
heal the wound that bleeds to-day.
but we will always think of the
Angel that is waiting on the gol
den shore.
Look back over her past life we
see much that was beautiful and
nothing to regret.
She bloomed in our hearts only
a short time, but the rich fra
grance of her sweet character lin
gers around us.
She was only fiifteen ; but those
fifteen years are golden links in
memory’s chain.
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
but we know if we are faithful we
will meet dear Maggie on that
glad to-morrow, to sing praises
through all eternity and never to
part again.

The Macon News,of a recent
date, contained a ringing editorial
denouncing the convict lease sys
tem of Georgia. Among other
things, it says: “White and negro
women are worked together indis
criminately and driven by guards

There is every reapon to believe
that the bosses are in the habit of
taking advantage of their helpelss
victims in the vilest and most
legraded manner. Women are
-eported to have made their escape
whose condition precluded the
>ossibility of such a thing, it bein
nerelv a pretext to cover up t'
facts in the case.”

the spirit of millionaire making, of
gambling and chance, has permea
ted all through society until men
have come to mistrust each other.
There is universal distrust, and
today we have a panic which every
body says is caused by “want of
confidence.” This is just it. Men
have practiced evil ways and
sought gain so long by illegitimate
meanp. until their confidence in
each other is gone. The law of
God is working itself out. A na
tion cannot practice evil contin
ually and escape the penalty.
Dr. M r. is si es in fiese troublous
times a cause back of the McKinley
act and the Sherman act. It is the
violation of the law of God in for
saking the ways of legitimate and
honest dealing. It is perfectly
plain that if the doctor had his
way he would go further than abol-
i^hing a little thing like the lottery
