LET JUSTICE BE DONE.
It was n© very great surprise to many
people in Cartersville, when it was gen
erally known Tuesday that the grand
jury had found a true bill against Dr.
Tnomas 11. Baker and his brother Gus
Baker, principals with Tobe and Sam
Jackson and Jim Beard to dynamite the
home of Mr. Aaron Collins early last
winter. The announcement that such a
bill had been found was no surprise, be
cause for some time past rumors have
been rife that the g r and jury would
make such presentments. The written
statement of Tobe Jackson’s testimony
before the grand jury and the statement
of both of them to the Constitution re
porter, all directly implicated the two
men named. While it was no surprise to
a great many that the grand jury re
turned true bills against the Bakers,
it was nevertheless a shock to
the community. Dr. Baker is
one of the wealthiest men In the county,
he has been possessed of considerable in
fluence, and has been for years past inti
mately identified with the interests and
affairs of this section, besides this the
doctor is now going down the evening
of life, and it is lamentable to think that
his latter days should have to be spent in
the defense of his life, liberty and char
acter, instead of contemplating with se
verity and gratification a life well and
nobly spent. This is no time to moralize
however, for if justice has been out
raged, law violated and the peace of a
community broken, the remedy, though
hard perhaps, must be applied.
simple accusation against an
does not prove his guilt. Prejudiced*
foe to justice. Do not convict a man be*
fore he is tried. The law knows no
prejudice and presumes a man innocent
of the crime charged against him until
incontrovertible evidence proves him
guilty. Prejudice runs close to persecu
tion, invariably re-acts upon the persecu
tors. Whatever you may think, how
ever bitter the feelings in your breast
may be, do not condemn and convict
these men until the law declares them
guilty. , , .
THE COURANT.
The Courant confesses to commenda
ble pride in being able to present to its
readers, commencing with this issue, a
paper'bf thirty-two columns, an enlarge
ment, as it will be perceived, of four
columns. We are gratified that the en
couragement we have received has en
abled us to do this. A thorough inspee
ii mi of The Courant will, we think,
bear us out in the assertion that we pub
lish, in every way, as good a weekly
paper as is printed in the State. We
promise to continually improve the paper.
We are endeavoring to throw into it life
an l animation. We shall endeavor by
all our newspaper experience to avoid
the ok) “scrap book” antiquated style of
dumping the paper full ot heavy, long,

too high regard for the mental character
of our readers to impose upon them a
paper in any way conducted in a provin
cial or slip shod manner. The latest
news of the day will be given in a breezy
manner, and especial attention will be
given to local news of every character.
The Courant is conducted upon a pure
ly business principle, with system and
method, and we are constrained to be
lieve that our patrons will see and appre
ciate this. We have but recently removed

Gen. I>. M. B. Young Itctums
On a Furlough From Rigor
on* Russia To His Home
In Our Balmy South
land.
AN INTKKESTING CHAT WITH THE
UN TED STATES AMBASSADOR
TO RUSSIA.
A Great Country With Unequalled Re
sources.
G n. P. M. B. Young, the United
States Minister plenipotentiary to the
court of Russia at St. Petersburg, reach
ed home from Washington last week.
The General has been away from his
distant post something over a month on a
leave of absence for sixty days. He is
looking splendidly and has been busy
since his return to Cartersville shaking
the hands of his friends and renewing
old acquaintances. Gen. Young was not
only a brave and great soldier, and is a
great scholar and statesman and a gifted
man, but he is withal a brilliant conver
sationalist. In conversation with a rep
resentative of the Courant, Gen. Young
wa* asked in regard to the report that he
would probably be sent to Constantino
ple in the place of Hon. S. S. Cox, as
United States Minister to Turkey, and
replied:
“I have made no application for any
mission since my retuin, and I know of
no one who has made application in my
behalf. I know it is expected by some
of my friends that fome change w ill be
made in my post, but as yet I have no
idea of what change is contemplated.
The Turkish mission is a high one, how
ever.”
“How do the various nations rank as
diplomatic post-*,” was asked.
“The court of St. James, (England),
Germany, Russia and France rank to
gether, and then comes Austria, Turkey,
Spain, Italy and Mexico, down that way.
The Turkish mission will be greatly
sought after from New York on account
of the desirability in the way of climate
and other things.”
In speaking of St. Petersburg, the
General said:
“St. Petersburg is a magnificent city,
especially from an architectural stand
point. It is said to contain the finest
churches in the world.”
“What Is the principal religion there ?”
“The Russian Church, which is per
haps between the church of England and
Roman Catholic, in form, however, more
like the latter titan otherwise, the priests,
though, unlike those of the Catholic
church, may marry. That is lhe estab
lished church, although there is religious
liberty in Russia.”
Referring to the press in Russia, Gen
eral Young said —
“All the papers published in any of
the cities ate under the supervision of a
censor of the press. He is responsible
for what is published.”
Asked as to the extent of the anarchist
sentiment existing in Russia, he said—
“l have no idea thal there is anything
like so much of anarchism, revolt and
dissatisiaction in that country as reported
on this side ot the water. I didn’t see
anything of it. All of the internal affairs
of that government seem to be at perfect
and absolute peace, the people appear to
be satisfied with their government thor
oughly.”
“Is it true that the Czar is so carefully
guarded always as we hear he is?”
“The Czar seems to fear no attack on
his 1 fe, and often travels around the
streets unattended. I have seen him on
the field of K'asne without any attend
ants whatever, he frequently goes out
alone with his wife. There is great,
exaggeration about the reported fear of his
assasination.”
The French and English languages are
both spoken a great deal in St. Peters
burg the General said. He also said that
he thought the Russian army was equal
to any army in the world in point of
personel and equipment.
Questioned as to the severity of the
climate, he said —
“They don’t feel the cold so sensibly
as they are so well prepared for it, al
though the ext.emely cold w'eather does
effect, very sensibly, people from other
climates, such as the United States. It
appears to have a depressing effect on all
the nervous system, which makes it very
difficult for people to sleep who go there
the first winter.”
“How cold does it get there?'’
“Sometimes the thermometer falls to
4C iKgre-s below r zero.. Snow sets in. on
an average, between the 20th of October
and Ist ot November, although It did not
begin last year until about the Ist ot
December. June, July and August he
said were delightful months there.”
The General was asked as to the esti
(nation in which the American govern
ment was held by the Russians, and
said —
“The American government and peo
ple are held in the very highest estima
tion of respect and regard.”
As to the city of St. Petersburg, he
said—
“It is a European city, 1 could hardly
call it Asiatic, and like all European
cities, the people are kind and geneious
in their intercourse, very much like the
people in any cosmopolitan city. How
ever, if you go to Moscow you will find a
very different state of things, purely
Asiatic, or rather purely Russian. In
St. Petersburg there is a very high order
of intelligence among the people, there
are many very able and very distinguish
ed men there. Society there is as high
and refined and cultured as any in the
world. They have numerous fine col
leges in that country, fine system of rail
roads, a great many cotton, wool, flax
and jute factories, the statistics w hich I
have sent to the state department at
Washington will show this. They man
ufacture large quantities of silk in the
different provinces of tiussia, and they
have large manufactories of silver-ware,
and in the workmanship of gold and sil
ver they excell, especially in the inlaid,
mosaic work. There are verv extensive
gold and silver mines in the Ural moun
tains.”
“There is some of the finest iron ore
in the world in Russia, and iron is made
cheaper in Russia, Finland and Sweden
than anywhere else in Mie world, but in
some instances, under much greater dis
advantage®, lor ioßt nee, where we trans
port iron here bv ptivate 'Conveyance for
as much a® a mile we c, nnot m ike it
work, but in Russia they narry it by pri
vate conveyance often over 30 miles.
They transport roils for railroads 300
miles over the ice and sumv by horse
power.”
“Any inu’es over there?”
“I have never seen a mule there at
all.”
“Any colored people?”
“I saw but two colored men while I
was over there and they did not live
there, one was from this country and the
other from Morocco, I ihiuk.”
“In the four.se of Gen, Young’s de
scription of Russia he said that it was
one of the most interesting countries he
had ever seen, that it was rich in many
resources. It has all the minerals th it
this country has and more, we do not
have platinum here and they do, and be
sides they produce every agricultural
product that we do.”
“Do they raise cotton?”
‘ Yes, to quite a large extent in the
provinces of ResaraHia and Rokahra, but
it is more expensive to transport it from
where it is produced to the factories than
it is to transport it from America, be
cause much has to be carried from 500 to
1,000 miles on the backs of camels, some
times it has to be thus transported at
least 1500 miles.”
“What’s the grade of cotton they
make?”
“They make two gr ides, the b’ack sen
cotton is a very interior aitieie, hut they
make a good ar.ic e ot upland Cotton.”
The General said that in the provinces
where cotton was raised, they also made
quantities of silk, and the siik woven
there is celebrated all over the world for
its fineness, durability and brilliant and
beautiful coloring.
Gen. Young went on a brief visit to
his sister at Kingston on Friday. He did
not state how long he would remain at
home, or when he would return to Rus
sia. There are rumors afloat as to his
transfer to some other diplomatic mission
of high order.

Toronto a Busy and Beautiful City. A
Strikingly Interesting Letter
All Through.
Special to Thk Courant.|
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Oct, 23 ’B6.
Your subscribers, which are all friends
of “Uncle Max,” will have to bear with
him in the “git up” of his letters, for
lam feeble “in mind and body,” but in
“my weak and feeble way” will do the
best I can. I know the “Courant” never
had a poorer correspondent, but never
had a better friend than their “Uncle
Max,” one that loves all its readers,
always glad to hear of its prosperity, and
welfare of the whole city of Cartersville
and community When I say I am
thinking of good old Bartow county peo
ple daily, it is putting it mildly, but for
fear, that they might forget me, I shall
remind them once a week that they are
still remembered, and the only regret
is they do not all take the Courant, by
this means I could have a chat with all.
[Most of them do, however.—Eds.]
Toronto, just now, would scarcely be
recognized by an occasional visitor, for
the very reason that, Rev. Sam P. Jones
has taken it by storm, hi- wonderful
power over people has never been so fully
demonstrated as in Toronto, and the re
sults that have followed, been beyond
the expectation of all. On one evening
over five hundred professed conversion,
and the tide is running high, and thou
sands will rejoice at the coming of Sam
Jones and Sam Small. Three services
have been held daily with packed houses
and the whole Dominion seems to be
awakened. The papers of Toronto have
done well, and many thousands through
out Canada are reading the Sermons. God
bless the papers of Toronto is the prayer
of your correspondent. Never has there
been such a revival iD this ei r y, and what
seems strange tomany,-yet a pleasant one
—there are persons who are paying up
old debts, some of many years standing.
Now when you can find a person liquida
ting such if they haven’t got religion
what have they ? Would you like to have
this strike some of your subscribers; or
are they all cash members?
I have not told you much about this
“Queen City of the West—as they love
to call it, merely for the good reason that
I did not know much about it, but am be
coming familiar somewhat with its good
side, and shall endeavor to point out such
as might be interesting to the readers of
the Courant.
There are always two sides to a ques
tion, and this will certainly apply to
Toronto, but I will not touch upon the
“worldly” picture in this letter, will re
serve it for future use. There is one fact
worthy of note, that Toronto has a Mayor
that is worthy of the name and city, Hon.
W. H. Howland, who is a Christian from
the top of his head to the tip end of his
toes, and where you find the good work
going on there you wiiteoe the genial
face of Mayor Howland. Is not this
something tobe thankfull for; and can
not Toronto say—with truthfulness, to
other cities, “Go thou and do likewise.”
Would it not be a blessing to thousands
of souls; few cities are so well blessed
with such a Mayor as Toronto has.
Toronto is a busy city, and the com
mercial point is well looked after. Six
lines of railway now have their terminal
stations in this city. The Great Western
Division of the Grand Trunk Railway,
the Toronto, Grey and Bunce Railway
and the Credit Valley Railway now
comprise the Ontario Division of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, the main line
of which as also the main line of the Grand
Trunk R. R passes through the city. The
Northern and North-Western, and the
Midland Division of the Grand Trunk
Railway, have their termini at this point
also. Toronto has many public and pri
vate Institutions worthy of note, amorrgst
them are Trinity College, erected 1851
at a cost of $40,000. Is of white brick
and stone dressing, and is designed in
the third period of pointed English arch
itecture. The College is the training
school of the Clergy ot the diocese and
has a high reputation. Osgoode Hall is
the seat of the Law society of upper
Canada, and cor tains Couit-rooms and
offices for Superior Courts of the Prov
ince. The cost of the building has
amounted to about $300,000, the building
is of the classic style and is of great
beauty, the Center Hall being very fine.
The Court of Queen’s Bench, Common
Pleas, and Appeal, are all line chambers.
The University Buildings erected 1854-
59, at a cost of near $500,000, to provide
accommodation not only for the Univer
sity of Toronto (which simply confers
degrees) but also for University College,
with it yariou3 lecture rooms, residences
and students’ quarters, It is massive and
magnificent. The normal and model
schools and Educational offices, upon one
of the most attractive spots of Toronto,
are the buildings and grounds of this
department, which include the Education
office and the depositories, and education
al museum, the Normal school with girls
and boy’s modtl school. The buildings
are situated upon the centre of an open
square, of about 7 % acres of ground. The
Educational museum contains specimens
of Canadian and natural history, and the
best varieties of maps charts, diagrams,
philosophical apparatus, and scho and fur
niture. It also contains an extensive
and beautiful collection of copies of cele
brated Italian, Dutch and Flemish oil
paintings and engravings, and casts in
plaster of Paris of some ot the most noted
groups of statuary (ancient ami modern)
together with a collection of English,
Canadian and clns-dcal busts, etc. Free
admission may be obtained daily from
9to 5 o’clock. In my next letter I may
point out other attractions of this beauti
ful city.
I cannot close this letter without say
ing to your readers, they mav expect to
hear of the greatest revival that their
townsman, Rev. Sam. P Jones, and his
co-lab*rer, Rev, Sam W, Small, their
musical director, M. J. Maxwell, their
soloist, E. O. Excell, have ever followed
their labors.

TOBE ANI) SAM.
‘*The Courant” Interviews Tobe
anil Sam. Jackson iu Jail.
ONE lg GRIMY AND THK OTHER
PALE.—WHAT TORE DOES AT
THK MINES.
Both Mam Aboat th* Dynamite Outrage,
But Tobe Loquacious as to His
Prison Life.
A Courant representative was ena
bled, through the courtesy of Sheriff
Roberts and his brother Tom to visit
Tobe and Sam. Jackson in the jail last
week. When the reporter got inside of
the jail Tobe was called and he came out
on the little porch that runs around the
cell department. Tobe looked like a
grimy collier, and although his apparel
way evidently new, still the fact that he
had been working in coal mines was ap
parent, the coal dust has penetrated the
pores of the face, nei k and hai.ds, and a
considerable amount of scrubbing is nec
essary to get it out. Another thing that
lent a rather dismal air to Tobe’s funeral
aspect was the black shirt he wore. It
was not soiled, but anew black one.
Altogether Tobe’a habiliments indicated
sorrow rather Ilian mirth, or a funeial
rather than a wedding. Tobe pretended
to exercise a great deal of tact and judg
ment when questioned about the dyna
mite outrage and his accomplices, and
kept as mum as an oyster, but as the de
sired information was obtained from
another source Thk Courant did not
press its inquiries in that direction.
Tobe was given a cigar and asked
about his life in the mines. Everything
he said about this was tinged with com
pliments to Mr. Reese, the superintend
ent, and the other officers over the pris
oners at the mines. Tobe declares that
he Is treated splendidly, allowed as many
privileges as could be expected and it is
by uo means as hard as he was first led
to believe. Put into shape his descrip
tion ot his life in the mines ran about
this way:
“In the morning about sun up we go
from the stockade to the mines, a distance
ot perhaps 300 yards down a hill, and we
go right into the mines and commence
work. The guards stay at the mouth of
the mine and at the stockade, there are
no guards inside the mines but ‘bosses.’
We get through work at different times,
someßtlmes as early at 3 o’clock. Each
man has a task to perform in a day, and
all oyer that he chooses to do he gets psid
for. Five carloads a day is a task, but
some men dig fifteen and more. They
get ten cents a car for ali over the five
they dig. Some of the men make a right
smart money, they get it at the end of
each month. They give me extra too,
although I haven’t dug coal yet, I've
been laying tracks and switches in the
mines; they gave me $2 75 extra last
month.”
Questioned as to what sort of food they
furnished him he said, “They give us
plenty to eat, we have dinnir brought to
the mines brought at 12 o’oetek, supper
and breakfast we take at the stockade,
they furnish us as much tobacco as we
want, and they have a plantation and
they raise all kinds of vegetables and we
have as much as we want. Mr Reese,
the superintendent of the minis, is one
of the kindest men and does what he
can for the men. The whites and blacks
are separated, they have a good doctor
down there and a hospital in case of sick
ness, men are provided with blankets
whice are kept clean.”
Tobe went on to say that when lie first
went there he thought he was going to
the worst place in the world, but he had
been very agreeably disappointed since
he had been there. He said there were
450 convicts there and ail of them seem
to stand it well.
“Coming un here gives you a good
rest, don’t it?” he was asked.
“I never get tired up yonder,” he said.
Tobe said he left the mines Thursday
afternoon about 2 o’clock and had a
pleasant trip hither. He also said that
he would get one year and ten months
out of the ten years if he served it, for
good time. But he didn't think they
would k*-ep him there his full sentence,
lie said, “ I’ve been treated mighty
badly but I’ll tell you what’s the fact, I’ll
shoulder all they put on me.”
Referring again to h : s life at the
mines he said that men never g<>r pun
ished down there unless they deserved
it.
On Sundays he said they had limited
liberty about the stockade. They were
compelled to w r ear a chain all the time at
tached to one of their legs and all were
chained together at night.
Tobe took occasion to sav that he had
lots of friends, although he had some
enemies, and he did not think lie w’oulJ
be made to serve out his full sentence,
but come what would he had made up
his mind to stay till he was legally re
leased. He said he didn’t intend to try
to escape, as he had enough of wander
ing about, he wanted to stay in his
own country and didn’t want to he
dodging about from the officers of the
law. He said it was better in the
mines than to be a fugitive, as he was
in Texas. Tobe was asked what he did
on Sunday to while away the time,
and said in a facetious way, “Well, they
don’t let us go hunting or fishing.”
Sam. Jackson was also seen and con
versed with. His appearance is striking
ly different from that of his brother, his
face and hands are very white and bear
the evidence of his confinement in jail.
He had but little to say, save the fact
that he has been well treated in the Ful
ton county jail, and said although there
had been considerable sickness there, he
had not suffered any. Sam. wouldn’t
talk about the dynamite business at all,
and seemed generally tat titurn. It is ev
ident that he takes his trouble and con
finement harder thad Tobe does. They
are both still in jail, Sam. awaiting trial
for complicity in the dynamite outrage,
and Tobe, as one of the defendants in the
case, and i9 also
held here as a witness in the dynamite
case. Both of them are more or less
nervous and anxious, and much crest
fallen.
The great revival services conducted by
Revs. Sam Jones and Sam. Small, closed
in Toronto, Ontario Canada, yesterday
morning. The results have been wonder
ful and unexampled; in point of conver
sions effected, and the general stretch of
good done. Both of the great revivalists
worked hard and well, and enlisted an
army of friends and admirers all through
the dominion of Canada, unequalled per
haps in any other of their campaigns.
“UncleJMax’s” letter No. 2, from To

BEECHER EXCITES THE ENGLISH,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered
an address on the 15th inst., in Rev. Dr.
Parker •>’ city temple in London England,
on “Pulpit work.” He dwelt upon the
aid newspape rs rendered to the preacher.
A number of questions were Mr.
Beecher as to his idea of the doctrine
of retribution, and hi® answer caused in
tense excitement, several divines rising
to their feet and loudly protesting against
his views. Mr. Beecher reported that
any man believing in retribution who
married, entered society or smiled was a
monster. He preferred working through
fear springing from love, rather than
through fear of the barbaric doctrine of
retribution.
TEE STATE FAIR.
MACON IS ALL ASTIR-BRIL
LIANT PROSTECTS.
Some PerUaent Pointer* by Our Lively
Correspond eat--Colonel Caper* and
Captain Tom Lyon tn Their
Glory— Near* Note*.
Special to Thk Courant.]
Macon, Ga., October 25.
To-day begins the published opening of
the State Fair, and opening it is, indeed.
Reailv the Fair begins on Wednesday the
27th, so that there is not only opening of
boxes and opening of all other things
from a Corliss engine to a lace handker
chief.
In the Stock department the promises
are now assured that there will be in fine
horses for running, for trotting, for farm
work or any other use—the largest and
best display ever made. One noticeable
thing is that the larger per cent of this
fine stock, whether horses, cattle or what
not, are from Georgia and are Georgia
raised.
The next most voluminous and inte
resting exhibit now on the grounds is in
the Machinery department. The Mason
Cotton Picker is reduced to a Mason Gin,
and right by its side who do we behold
in ail the lordly stepings of his native
grandness but our Colonel Capers in
charge of a Long Fiber Cotton Gin, which
seems to be now the center of attraction.
Tom Lyons says that the women follow
after Capers “naturally.” Well, all we
have to say is that this is a great compli
ment to the Colonel. Certainly the neat
est and most inviting place about Ma
chinery Hall is the exhibit of our Bartow
Colonel. His cotton gin is the most im
portant improvement in this direction
made since Whitney invented the saw
gin. Our expert critics say it is going to
work wonders, while the saw gin men
shake their heads and say it won’t do.
We are looking out for the judges, and if
they are not like Joseph is said to have
been in Pharaoh’s house, my opinion is
that the reason will be known. The
Colonel is looking simply grand in his
Prince Albert and kid glove3, and if
General Pierce Young don’t come to the
fair the vote will be that Capers is the
handsomest man in Georgia. So Bartow
will get the premium any how.
In the Floral Ilall the ladies are at
work and are doing all their fair hands
can do. The embroidery and needle
work is simply superb. Colonel Nichols,
of Narcoochee Valley, is in charge of this
department. A most excellent gentle
man, and as popular with the women as
is Capers, and that is saying a great deal.
The display of poultry of all kinds is
constantly being added to, and is going
to be a wonder.
But the dust! Oh, the dust! It has
not rained here for over two months,
consequently the white sandy land is
ground into a ponder. Why these Macon
people do not sprinkle the streets is a
wonder. It is as bad as bad can be, and
is the only thing now promising to injure
the prospect of the fair for the next week.
I think our people had better come
next week if they want to enjoy them
selves and see the biggest show of the
last decade.
I saw Mr. Blount, the oldest Southern
member of Congress, yesterday. He is
very complacent and seems to think that
if his views on the general affairs of the
nation are adopted the people will be
happy and the nation safe. Well, the
apples swim, whether the water is deep
or shallow. More anon.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Bartow Superior Court. July Adjourned
Term, 1886.
We, the Grand Jury, selected, chosen
and sworn for the first week of July, ad
journed term 1886, beg leave to make the
following general presentments;
We find that the last Grand Jury ex
amined the books of the various county
officers, and we are satisfied that a repe
tition of the s ime w ork on our part is not
necessary.
We hear complaints of the bad condi
tion of the bridge crossings throughout
the county, and recommend that the
County Road Commissioners have new
plank put in where necessary.
The report made bv a special commit
tee appointed from our body to visit the
pauper firm, convinces us that a change
of some kind should be made.
We are constrained to believe that the
laudable objects sought by the county in
the establishment of that institution have
not been reached. The want of svstem is
the principal trouble. From testimony
gathered from many, as we think relia
ble sources, especially from good citizens
who live near the farm, we are of the
opinion that the pie-ent superintendent
i very r fticient. We therefore urge the
County CoinmiS'ioners to retain him.
We question the poliev ot let-ing the
farm, as heretofore, that is to the lowest
bidder.
We believe that in this matter the
County Commissioners when they find
an efficient man should retain him as
long as he is faithful, and compensate
him reasonably for his services. No good
can re=ult to the county or the pauper
from the underbidding and cutting sys
tem in this matter. We trust, however,
that the Commissioners will devise oth
er means of taking care of the paupers,
and we recommend that the farm and
mules be sold and the proceeds be used
in providing a hospital situated near
the line of the railroad.
We can’t see the necessity of culti
vating a poor farm with expensive hired
labor, when the total products of the
place,if sold, would not pay the cost of
such labor.
In consequence of the failure of last
grand jury to fix the pay of jurors and
bailiffs for the coming year, we recom
mend that the pay be as follows:
Jurors two dollars per day; bailiffs
two dollars per day; riding bailiffs one
dollar per day extra where they furnish
a horse.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the two county
papers.
We thank his honor, Judge Fain, So
licitor Harris and the other officers of the
court for courtesies shown our bodv.

The same section of country that
trembled before from the earthquake
shocks, was shaken last Friday.
Throughout the country sharp and severe
shocks were felt, reports, however,
do not indicate any serious damage,
houses were shaken and people scared,
but no fatalities or much destruction is
noted, for w'hich we ought to be de
voutly thankful. Whatever may be
the causes of earthquakes this
recurrence of their shock® evidences the
fact that this part of our globe is not yet
free from such causes as produce them.

HE TAKES HIS LIFE.
Bob Alston Shoots Himself to Death in
Washington City--Particulars of
the Terrible Deed.
Robert W. Alston, oldest son of the
late Colonel Robert A. Alston, of Atlanta,
committed suicide in the Sixth Auditor’s
office in Washington City, where he was
employed, on Saturday morning last.
The unfortunate man was but 28 years of
age, and had been employed by the gov
ernment for some time back. The only
cause assigned for the rash act was men
tal depression.
The following special to the Cotistitu
tion gives the particulars of the lament
able occurrrence:
Washington, October 23. —[Special]—
There was a scene in the recording divi
sion of the Sixth Auditor’s office this
morning, which sent a shudder of horror
through the Georgia colony here. Rob’t
W. Alston, of Atlanta, who was clerk
there, shot and killed himself. Shortly
before 10 o’clock, Alston walked to a fel
low clerk named Rickey, and taking that
gentleman by the band, said :
“Good morning, my dear friend.”
He then went to his place. Rickey,
Major Evans and one of the other clerks
happened to look up a few moments after
ward. They saw Alton standing before
them. The young man quickly but care
fully removed his hat, and brushing the
hair from his right temple, put the muz
zle of the revolver to his head and fired
before any one could prevent him. He
fell instantly, and did not speak after
wards. His three fellow clerks, Messrs.
Rickey, Evans and Williams, rushed to
him at once, but it was too late. The
heavy load had crushed through the tem
ple, passed through the interior lobe of
the brain and out on the left side. The
pistol was placed so near his head that
the hair was singed and the skull badly
shattered. The bullet, after passing
through his head, struck the wall and
knocked out a piece of plastering. Dr.
Dudley Morgan was quickly summoned,
and administered hypodermic injections,
which kept Alston alive for about forty
minutes, though he was not restored to
consciousness. He died a little after ten
o’clock. The tragedy, of course, crea
ted great excitement in the office and the
clerks in the basement were excused for
the remainder of the day. The coroner
made an examination and gave a certifi
cate of death in accordance with the
above facts. The remains were turned
over to Undertaker Lee to prepare for
burial. Alston wrote a letter to his aunt
this morning, and only a few minutes be
fore he committed suicide. He handed
the letter over to Major Evans, one of
the clerks in the office, saying he would
entrust him to forward it to Mr. F. H.
Richardson, of the Atlanta Constitution.
The letter, he said, was an open one, and
he asked Major Evans to read it, which
he afterwards did. The letter addressed
to Mr. Richardson did not explain the
cause of his act, but spoke in affectionate
terms of his aunt and younger sister,
whom he asks Mr. Richardson to look
after and see that she attends school. It
also states he has received a letter from
his aunt, Mrs. Brown, of Decatur, and
he would die with it in his pocket.
The remanins were brought from
Washington to Decatur, accompanied by
Mr. Trotter, the brother-in-law of the
deceased, Mr. E. I. Renick and Miss
Minnie Alston, the deceased man’s sis
ter, who was in Washington at the time
of the shocking affair. The funeral oc
curred at Decatur, Monday afternoon.
In the U. S. Court in Macon on the
21st inst., Will R. Jackson, late assistant
postmaster of Americus, was convicted
of rifling a registered package, and sen
tenced to five years in penitentiary.
Jackson’s triai has elicited much atten
tion, as he is well connected and held the
esteem of the business public in Americus
until his unscrupulous methods were
detected. Judge Speer charged the jury
with much force, pointing out at length
the vast interest of the people in the
integrity of the mails, and the necessity
of severe punishment when the evidence
was conclusive.
J. T. Warnock, L. F. Garrard, A. J.
Bethune, A. R. Lawton and George M.
Clapp have incorporated at Columbus,
Ga., the Chattahoochee Falls Cos., capi
tal stock $150,000, to improve and utilize
the water powar of the Chattahoochee
river, to build mills and factories, and
engage in any or all kinds of manufac
turing, etc.
Home Evidence
No other preparation has won success at
home equal to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In
Lowell, Mass., where it is made, it is now,
as it has been for years, the leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. This “ good name
at home” is “a tower of strength abroad.”
It would require a volume

Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert
LOw eI I Estes > living at 28 East Pine
Street, Lowell, for 15 years
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president of the Erie Telephone Company,
had a large running sore come on his leg,
which troubled him a year, when he began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew
less in size, and in a short time disappeared.
Jos. Hunphy, 214 Cen

Mrs. C. W. Marriott, wife of the First As

for 16 years she was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every fort
night, when she was obliged to take her bed,
and was unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after a time
the attacks ceased entirely.
Many more might be given had we room.
On the recommendation of people of Lowell,
who know us, we ask you to try

CLOSING OUT!
Attention One and AH
For reasons I do not deem necessary to dis
close, I will by the FIRST DAY OF JANU
ARY, 1887, close out my entire stock of goods
consisting of Notions, Glassware and Tinware.
In that time 1 give you a chance to decide the
all important question : Shall I buy goods now
that I need at half price, or shall I wait until
after Christmas and pay twice or three times as
much? Kind reader you have a head of your
own. Nature has been very kind and endowed

and if they were humbuged. Now with all of
your good reasoning faculties and intellect that
nature has so lavishly bestowed upon you grasp
the idea that I now wish to present to you m all
its force and truthfulness. Are you going to let
such chances which do not occur every day
slip by unnoticed? People, look to your in
terest, do not let this opportunity pass. Rest
assured that no one else will put up here that
will be as ready to divide the profit as I have
been and am now. The TEN CENT STORE
will soon be a thing of the past, and you will
think of all this when you have to pay a quarter
for an article that I will now sell you for ten
cents. Do not put off coming to the TEN CENT
STORE until next month, Dut come now and
get first choice. There is no use in my multiply

cash sales is a sufficient guarantee of the truth
