CARTERSYJLLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1886. Y SNIALIJS ANNIVERSARY. A Review of the Higtory of a Wonderful Year. From the Constitution 10th inst.] Yesterday was a memorable day in the life of W. Small. One year ago last night he staitled all Atlanta and set it agog with gossip and speculation by standing upon an im provised platform, at the artesian well, and preaching a sermon of singular earnestness and pathos. For years pre vious his life had been one of strange lines, filled with varied successes and failures in several departments of em ployment and public service, but princi pally distinguished by its recklessness and almost complete surrender to sins and dissipations. When Sam Small stood up that September night and claimed conversion to God and pledged his life to the service of Christ perhaps not half a dozen persons in the world Who knew him believed him sincere and honest in his declarations. Hundreds laughed at the episode as a drunken va gary and scores of serious men declared that Small had become insane through his dissipation. It was freely predicted that this latest freak of his would be a nine-days’ wonder and he would speedily relapse into his old ways and resume his reckless, godless and extravagant life. A WONDERFUL YEAR. But the record of his life for tye year has been one of marvelous surprise, and not alone to his friends and the skepti cal critics, but to himself. Beginning to preach from the third hour of his conversion, he has steadily gone forward in the service of his Mas ter with growing zeal and power to the present day. Tie preached every nigh l and day of that first week of his new life, and then was called bj r Rev. Sam. Jones to go with him in his evangelical labors throughout the country. He was surprised at the call, but believing it God-direeted, obeyed it, and has since been the active and efficient associate of the great Georgia evangelist in his re markable meetings throughout America. Not only have “the two Sams” become household words all over the union, but the people and press have united in pro nouncing Mr. Small “one of the fore most and most eloquent preachers in the American pulpit.” This entire copy of the Constitution could be filled with the collated encomiums of the secular and religious press passed upon the power and eloquence of his labors. THE STRIKING FIGURE^ of his year of labor, so far as accessible, will be read with wonder. Within the twelve months Mr. Small has traveled over 10,000 miles, preached 507 sermons, and addressed audiences estimated as ag gregating one million persons. As to the number of conversions marking their labors, or the larger number of persons whose lives were affected for good by them, no possible estimate can be made. HIS ANNIVERSARY SERMON was preached last night at Trinity church to a densely packed audience. His text was I Timothy, i, 15, 16, and the thread of the discourse was the recital of his own past experience, his conversion and the results that had attended upon his life in Christ. The sermon was full of lender, pathetic and thrilling passages. It was listened to with profound atten tion, and those who heard it were con vinced that it would bring forth good fruit among those who were present. In speaking of his changed life Mr. Small said he knew at the outset of it how the people would doubt him, deride his professions and scoff at his efforts; how cruel and pitiless would be the criti cism he would encounter; how deep and poignant would be the stabs that the heartless and ungodly would inflict; brift be was conscious that God had, for Christ’s sake, forgiven his sins, and that he had fixed his life on lines of loyalty to Christ. With this happy assurance he faced the world, unheeding its sarcastic doubts and undismayed by its malignant jeers, llis life for the past year had been one of sweet felicity in the service of Christ; he knew that anew mind and nature had been given him by God ; he felt the throbbings of anew and eternal life in his veins and soul; and now he cared nothing for what men might say, but only looked forward to pleasing God and meriting, through Christ, His “well done” in the glorious end. The sermon was one of notable power and earnestness, of perfect frankness and simple faith, and had a visibly in spiring effect upon all present. Mr. Small was tendered many congratula tions and given many hearty “God speeds.” A Railroad Accident. Chattanooga, September 17. —A very serious accident occurred on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia seven miles east of this city to-day caused, by a freight train running into the rear of a passenger train. The Bris tol train left Chattanooga at eleven o’clock with a heavy freight following closely behind. The passenger train for some reason ran so slowly to the West ern and Atlantic junction that when it stopped the freight ran into the rear end. The officers’ car of the Mobile and Ohio railroad was on tlie rear of the passenger train and was badly torn up’ No one was in the car. A Pullman sleeper was also damaged, but the pas sengers escaped without injury. All of the trainmen escaped unhurt. A Congressman's Wife Dead. Mrs. John T. Heard, wife of the pres ent Congressman from the Sixth Con gressional district of Missouri, died at Booneville, Mo., yesterday at 1 o’clock, after an illness of several weeks. For the speedy and sure cure of head ache nothing equals Curry’s Liver Com pound. ■" A WONDERFUL CLOCK. An Electrical Time-Piece That Promise* to Revolutionize the Ticker World. Elizabethtown, Ky., Sept. 12. —liar- din county has contributed to the scien tific world and electric clock, which sur passes everything of the kind ever in vented. It has been placed on display at the Exposition by Mr. C. B. Gifford, of Colesburg, and will doubtless attract a great deal of attention. Unlike pre vious electrical time-keepers, this clock regulates itself automatically under all variations of temperature and the pen dulum remains the same length under all temperature changes. This requires what is called compensation in metal, and is effected by an engenious arrange ment of iron and brass rolls acting upon a lever so that the distance between the points or suspension and oscillation of the pendulum remains unaltered by variations of temperature. The ordinary compensating pendulum consists of a mass of rods, which form a part of itself, thus increasing the surface exposed to atmospheric influences, while in the Colesburg the compensating portion Is fixed and the vibrating portion consists simply of a pendulum bob. and approaches as near as possible the form of the theoretical pendulum. The electrical device which keeps it in motion, while ingenious, is exceedingly simple. All wheel escape ments are dispensed with, and the pen dulum is kept in motion by the succes sive impulsations of a magnetic amature. The magnet varies in strength according to the condition of the battery, but by a simple arrangement this variation of magnetic force makes no corresponding ehange in the are of vibration, which remains constant under all conditions of the battery. So delicate is this pendulum that one cell of gravity battery is amply suffi cient to run the pendulum and a prima ry clock, and the pendulum will run any kind of electric clock, either prima ry or secondary, and the number is unu nited. Mr. Gifford has been testing the elec trical wonder for four or five months, and not even the slightest \ariation has been detected. Nothing of the kind was found in the patent-ofiiee at Washing ton, and letters patent were secured without any trouble whatever. Had it been the invention of the Wizard of Menlo Park it would long ago have at tracted public attention, but as it is the result of long and laborous experiments of a modest gentleman who thirsteth not for popular applause, its existence is known to but few persons. TURNED TO GOLD. About twelve years ago Maj. Campbell Wallace of Atlanta, invested $6,000 cash in the stock of the Elyton Land company. The total capital was SIOO,OOO cash— •which was increased to $200,000 in stock. The company bought 4,000 acres of the site of the present city of Birming ham. Permission was soon granted the com pany to issue SIOO,OOO in bonds for im proving the property. The bonds were sold, but almost immediately re-bought by the company and retired z-$r The pro ceeds of land sales were largely' put into improvements. Major Wallace has drawn over SIOO,OOO in cash dividends on his $6,080 invest ment. He has drawn $17,000 or three times his investment in dividends this year with four months to hear from. Besides paying such dividends the com pany has over $2,000,000 in cash assets, exclusive of its land which has hardly been touched. The shares are now worth $4,000 each. Major Wallace received for his $6,000 oash, $12,000 in stock, or 120 shares, worth now in open market $4,000 a share, or $450,000. He has distributed most of his stock among his children, and Mrs. Mynatt has just received and refused $99,000 for her share. This reads like a fairy tale. An in vestment of $6,000 paying over SIOO,OOO dividends in twelve years and then being worth $480,000 cash. The Elyton com pany on a paid in capital of SIOO,OOO has paid over $1,500,000 in dividends, has $2,000,000 in assets, besides its land, and its stock is now worth $8,000,000. ThfS stock was hawked about Atlanta a few years ago at 18 cents on the dollar. — Con stitution. A Captain’s Fortunate Discov ery. Capt. Coleman, sehr. Weymouth, plying be tween Atlantic City and N.Y., had been trou bled with a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. It not only gave him instant relief, but allayed the extreme soreness in his breast. His children were simi larly affected and a single dose had the same happy effect. Dr. King’s New Discovery is now the standard remedy in tho Coleman household and ou bo ird the schooner. Free Trial Bottles of this Standard Remedy at Curry’s Drug Store. 4 THE LANGAUGE OF THE TRAIN. To sit on one seat and put your feet on another signifies, “I am not accustomed to upholstered furniture at home.” To occupy four seats on one ticket means, “I am a hog.” To lean half way out of the window in order to see the country means, “There are no glazed windows in my house.” To turn a front seat and ride back wards means, “I may not be pretty but I think so.” To expectorate on the floor meins, “I haye no carpets at home.” To say of the station that you “can not see the town for the houses,” signi fies, “I have never been anywhere be fore.’’ To drink all the water in the tank and go to sleep at eight o’clock in the morn ing means, “I was out with the boys last night.” To be bounced oft' the train signifies, “I am dead broke.” Journalism is a hard taskmaster. A man has little idea, as he lolls back in his easy chair, smoking an after dinner cigar, and reading his paper, what a hard matter it is to gather the news dish ed up for his delectation, and to write those little sketches that make him smile or throb with interest. > Turnip Seed, at Curry’s. HONEST AND CLEaN. An Opinion of President Cleveland's Ad ministration—The Choice of III* Party. From the Courier-Journal.] Washington, Sept. 14. —The Indiana Democrats who are supposed to know all about the political situation in that State are being rapidly interviewed here, and some of them do some remarkable gush ing. The latest is from Postmaster Dal ton, of these House of Representatives. Here is the encouraging way he talks. It is enough to make an Indiana Demo crat feel good all over: “There is but one opinion about Cleve land’s Administraton,” he said, “It is honest and clean. Ido notbflieve there will be the least opposition to him at the convention in 18S8. There certainly will not be if things keep on as they now are. There is no opposition to him to-day. Even those who do not agree with him on the civil service and the silver ques tions are ready to accept him on the whole without question. Members wh© at first supposed him have all come around since they have gone home. 1 venture to say there is not a Democrat who could carry a district in the United States upon avowed opposition to the AdminialfSlion. Even Senator Voor hees, as strong as he is, could not be elected to the House from Indiana as an anti-Administrationist. I thought, and most of the men who were watching things thought, when the opposition broke out in the House, when he wrote his silver letter, that the party would surely be divided and would go to pieces. When Reagan and Bland and Mills and all the rest of the silver men came out boldly and fought Mr. Cleveland, every body thought the party would be disrup ted. All that amount to nothing. Op position has died out entirely, and these very members are ready to accept Mr. Cleveland. They have modified their views. They will leave the silver as an open question and suport him and his administration. There is but one voice in the party now.” Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phcebe Ohesley, Peterson, Clay Cos. lowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town: “I am 73 years old, have been trou bled with kidney complaint and lameness for many years; could not dress myself without help. Now lam free from all pain and sore ness, and I am able to do all my own housework I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters for having renewed my youth, and removed completely all disease and pain.” Try a bottle, only 50c. at Curry’s Drug Store. 4 THE FARMERS’ PARADISE. A man on his own farm, well culti vated and kept, well stocked, with good modern dwellings and barns and out buildings, master of both time and acres, tied by no hours by the calls of bells or whistles, free to come and go according to the necessities of none but himself, mostly in his own fields, performing his healthful labors within sight of his own chimneys, is surely as rich, in the genuine sense of the word, as any man can be. lie has nothing to fear, nobody to envy. Of one thing he is sure all his days, and that is a sufficient living; and that is what other men are never sure of without a single pang of doubt or appre hension. There is his home, there is all the animate and inanimate machinery of his establishment, and for the rest he looks in profound trust to the bounty of heaven. Instead of this unworthy and demoral izing anxiety to get rich, if the average farmer, once being solidly established, would resolve to enlarge or exalt his life as it is, to make more out of that, to enjoy as much as possible of what there is to be enjoyed, to adorn and beautify his home—that onty paradise on earth— within and without, he would find all his daily tasks easier, even to the extent of being delightful; lie would feel rich, where with more money, he feels all the time poor; and he would rid himself of a false tyrant in the form of increasing parsimony that holds his nose to the grindstone till he is flung into his grave. If farmers only knew it they would be the richest men on earth. The continuance of the earth’s disturb ance has naturally created a panic, Many families, wl 03e homes l een si al tered have secured others, while others who have relatives in the interior are gratefully accepting invitations to visit them. Furniture carts and express wag ons, under the circumstances, are in great demand, and the prices of a load have risen from 25 cents to from $1.50 to $2.50. It is creditable to some of the ex press wagon drivers that thev have not increased their charges over 100 percent. Others, however, have trebled and quad rupled their charges. An instance was brought to the attention ol a reporter on. Saturday which, for shrewdness and meauness, may be said to ’’take the cake.” The person is a colored man named Henry Lesesne, who owns what is known as a furniture cart. Lesesne found that his customers would not submit to a charge of $2 a load, so he reduced his price to sl. One of his customers found that Lesesne had sawed off from the taii end of his cart at least two teet. The idea was, of course, to reduce the carrying capacity of the cart, and thus to make two loads out of one. It requires an earthquake to bring out the full character of the “Charleston coon.” —Charleston Neics and Courier. They get along fast in Dakota, and to prove it a story is told of a recently elec ted judge. lie had been a sort of free lace in his profession, and had incurred the enmity of a certain lawyer. This lawyer came before the Judge the other daj' with an ordinary motion which should have been granted in due course of law. But it wasn’t “Motion denied,” yelled the Judge. “But, your Honor— —” “Motion denied, I say,” “Your Honor, one word, if you please.” “You seem to have a prejudice against me.” “You’re b and right I have,” said the Judge. “I’ve been laying for you for the past three years, and you don’t get any motions in this court,” Railway construction continues at an active rate, the returns for the last two months making it certain that the total of new lines for the year will exceed 6,(XX) miles. The best way to make a name is to to have an aim. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The indications are (say 9 the Savan nah Xetrs of recent date) that the whole country is entering upon a very pros perous business season. There is a bet ter feeling in business circles than there has been for a long time. It is said that in New York city and Philadelphia or ders for merchandise are being sent so rapidly that it is about impossible to fill them promptly. The employes of the great jobbing houses hardly have time to get a lunch. From the South orders are large, indicating a feeling of confidence in the business outlook. It will indeed be gratifying if these indications prove to be correct. The de pression in business has been so long continued and so severe that a great many business men all over the coun try have been wondering whether they would be able to keep their doors open much longer. A sharp revival of busi ness will be to them like a heavy rain to the parched earth. It will put new life into them, as it were. The prospects in the South for a prosperous season are certainly very en couraging. The cotton crop is a good one, and it is coming to market in good condition. It is true that the prices are rather low, but then everything which the planter purchases is very cheap. If a comparison were made between the prices of supplies, when cotton was much higher than it is now, and prices of supplies now, it would be found per haps that the planter is about as well off now as when he got a great deal more for his cotton. The rice and sugar planters are not very prosperous, but if they will doubtless come out a little ahead. If the planters are reasonably prosperous business of all kinds is gen erally good. The feeling in New York is a pretty fair indication of the prevailing feeliug throughout the country. In that city it is certainly one of confidence and in creasing satisfaction. A Supposed Corpse Comes to Life Long Euough to Utter a. Warning. From the Savannah News.] A gentleman from Ga., was in the city yesterday, and reported that the colored people out there are greatly wrought up over the peculiar circumstances connected with a negro woman’s death. The woman had been sick for some time, and late one after noon about a week ago she died, or at least those who were present had every reason to believe that she did, and they laid her out as a bona fide corpse. The friends of the dead woman were sitting around in the room discussing the good qualities of the departed one, with that feeling and solemnity in keeping with the occasion, when suddenly the supposed corpse was in a sitting posture. The mourners rushed out of the house frightened half out of their wits. After remaining out some time two or three of the bravest among them mus tered up courage to approach the house. When they had come within speaking distance the woman called to them to come in, that she had something to say to them. With fear and trembling they entered, and the woman told them that she had been dead, but that she had come back to give them a warning. The warning was that the world would come to an end on Sept. 29. After making this awful prediction she said that she would be with them until 9 o’clock the next morning, when she would leave them forever. She asked them all to get ready for the final winding up on Sept. 29, and to be prepared to meet her on that day. She was punctual to the min ute as to her promise to leave them at 9 o’clock the following morning, and died precisely at the hour. All this occurred a few days before the earthquake, and the coming of this was full and complete proot to the negroes that the prediction was true. T hey re gard the earthquake as a forerunner of the eventful Sept. 29. The gentleman who narrated the story says that the wildest excitement pre vails among the negroes, and that they are preaching and praying day and night, and that they have constant relays of preachers, and as soon as one is ex hausted another is put up in his place. The Record. At noon on Tnesday, August 10, the 193 th Grand Monthly Drawing of the Louisiana State Lottiry took place, under the supervision of Gen’ls G. T. Beau regard of La., and Jubal A.

Engineer ami Fireman Killed. A terrible accident occurred half a mile from Chattanooga on the 15th inst. on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. A north-bound express train struck a cow on a sharp curve while coming into the city. The engine turn ed over a slight embankment, crushing Engineer Tom Buckley and Fireman Traviss to death. Buckley’s body was not recovered for several hours. The tracks of the E rst Tennessee, Cincinnati Southern and Western & Atlantic were blockaded until midnight. No passen gers injured. Henry Clews is having his revenge at last. Through his exertions the govern ors of the New York Stock Exchange have refused to put the new 4>£ per cent, bonds of Georgia on the list of se curities on the ground that Georgia now has outstanding repudiated bonds in the hands of innocent purchasers. It is well known the repudiated bonds were not eyen issued under the forms of law. NUMBER THE CUTTING CASE. Envoy Sedgwick Having Completed Hi* Investigations Starts for Home. N. O. Times-Democrat.] Er. Paso, Sept. 14.—Special Agent Arthur Sedgwick left this morning for Washington. Nearly all the work there was to do in the Cutting investigation had been done, except the taking of two or three more affidavits. Yesterday Sedgwick received a telegram from home saying that his wife was seriously ill, and he concluded to leave the further investigation of the case to Consul Brig ham. The consul I was interviewed to day and said: “We have gone through the case very carefully from one to the other, making full notes of everything from the record, and we carefully examined all the laws bearing on the case, and took a great deal of evidence. The work has been well done by Mr. Sedgwick.” f |Being asked what he thought of Sedg wick, he said : “He is a man of fine ed ucation, and fine natural ability, an ex cellent lawyer, and a man who, in my opinion, is well capacitated for the mis sion. The scandalous reports about him distracted his mind considerablj T ANARUS, but lie said to me that he could not help that.” The consul was asked if he had any intimation as to the character of the re port Sedgwick would make. He said Sedgwick never intimated at any time what would be its character, and it was a matter of too much delicacy to be broached to him. “I am sadisfied,” said the consul, “that a thorough.'and ex haustive report of the whole case will be made. He took facts from the records as they now stand from the examination of witnesses and from affidavits taken by me.” THE CAUSE OF HOG CHOLERA. A Farmer Thought to Have Died of the Diseases. IndiANAroLis, Sept. 11.—The ravages of hog cholera in the central part of the State are a matter of serious study by those concerned. An important discov ery in connection with the disease is alleged to have been made by a farmer named Sheppard, in Henry county. He had long believed that the disease is nothing more or less than parasites of trichinae in the stomach of the hog, and, to vindicate his judgment, had a post mortem examination upon a hog that died this week. His opinion was sub stantiated by the finding with the naked eye of many of those parasites in the second lining of the stomach. He com municated the fact of his discovery to the Secretary of the State Board of Ag riculture, and he has referred the subject to a microscopist for examination and report. Mr. Sheppard thinks he has al so discovered a preventive of these para sites, and expects to be able soon to give his remedy to the public. A remarkable story corres from Mun cie, Delaware county, to the effect that George Wilson, a well-to-do farmer, living eight miles south of Muneie, died yesterday afternoon with disease con tracted while administering medicine to the cholera hogs. Attending physicians claim that the disease is similar to hog cholera, and that it may become epi demic. Wilson was only sick four hours, and died in the most agonizing pain. The entire southern portiqn of the country is horror-stricken, and many farmers are anxious to sell their farms and go West. It is reported that many farmers have left their homes, and will not return until the question of epidem ic is decided in this case.

Richmond, September G.—Miss Winnie Davis, the youngest daughter of Jefferson Davis, is in the city visiting the family of Rev. Dr. J. William Jones, the secretary of the Southern Historical Society. Miss Davis was born in the Confederate execu tive mansion here not long before the close of the war, and for this reason her father calls her “The Daughter of the Confederacy.” This is Miss Davis’s first yisit since she left as a babe with her parents on the eventful night of April 3, when the capital of the Confederacy was evacuated by the Southern army. She is pretty and accomplished, and during the several weeks of her stay will be warmly welcomed by the Richmond people. The “Daughter of the Confeder acy” expects to be here on the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of the R. E. Lee monument on October 23, Ex-President Davis is also expected here at that time if his health will admit. The Americus Hecorder sums it up thus: “The aggregate value of taxable property in Georgia, as shown by the tax digests of the several counties, is $329,197,124, an increase of $7,381,355 over the returns of last year. This does not include railroad property, subject to taxation, which is estimated to be about $22,638,972. The railroad taxes must be paid by October Ist, and statements of the amounts due have been sent out by the comptroller general.” C Delectalave is endorsed by prominent physicians. Try a bottle.
