many friends. He is a large stock
holder and secretary of the Ameri
cas Cotton Seed Oil Mill, and was
here for the purpose of establishing
an agency to purchase all the cot
ton seed to be bad this fall. After
his arrival lie informed our enter
prising friend Geo. McDonald that
but one share remained untaken iu
the mill, which was readily taken
by Me. and be will now look after
the purchase of all seed, as well us
keep on sale the meal and ashes
from the seed after extracting the
oil, the former being excellent food
for stock, while tbe latter singly or
mixed with the former makes nil
excellent fertilizer, equal to many
brands used and at less limb half
the cost. Wo are really delighted
to know that onr enterprising friend
is the person holding the stock—lie
will keep his section worked up all
right.

is a resident of this city, and as far
as we know, have no interest what
ever in the Central. We arc in
formed upon the best of authority j
that the. Central has nothing what- |
ever to do with this new route, un-1
less it be to throw obstacles in its !
path.

J. A Wliarton Dies.
About twelve o’clock yesterday
morning tho people ol Amerieus
were excited over tbe announce
ment that Mrs. J. A. Wharton bad
suddenly died. At 1 o’clock a
Rkcoiwer reporter hastened to the
bouse oa Cotton Avenue to get tbe
particulars of her death, which lie
found to be about as follows:
Marly Saturday morning Mr.
Wliarton left for l’rcston to attend
to some business and to bring hU
13 year old daughter home, who
was visiting there. He left his
store in charge of Mr. N. It. Miles,
a third cousin of his. Mr. Miles
told the reporter that all morning
Mrs. ^.Wharton lmd been acting
struugely, and so bo bad the ser
vants watching the rear of the
house, while lie guarded the front
enhance. About 9 o’clock she got
out and started to the depot, but
came back, and nt 10 o’clock want
ed to go to the post-office. When
the bus passed going to the train
she got out and started to the de
pot,’and meeting a young lady,
asked her if she knew where her
husband was, and when he would
lie hack. Receiving a negative
answer, she went back to the house.
She then remained quietly nt the
house, sewing. About 12 o’clock
Miles beard her calling and went
into the house, to see what she
wanted, and found her lying on
piazza, tlie froth issuing Irom her
lips, lie still did not know what
was the matter, and asked her if
she wanted to be laid upon the bed.
She answered yes, which was the
last word she uttered. He placed
her on tl.e bed, and immediately
sent for Dr. T. E. Smith, who- ar
rived in a few mrments, while she
ivas yet alive.
Dr. Smith says that as soon as
lie saw her lie knew she was beyond
medical aid, and sent for another
physician.
Froth was still oil her lips, and
looking around, lie saw bottle corks
on tlie lloor. A few moments
search resulted in finding three
bottles, and a spoon and a glass.
The bottles contained, to tbe best
of the doctors’ knowledge, Indian
Blood Syrup, Turpentine and Car
bolic Acid. The Syrup the doctors
arc certain of, as the label was on
the bottle, and the other ingredi
ents wore found in tlie other bot
tles, although they looked like co
logne bottles. The glass looked
as if a large quantity of the Syrup
bad been poured into it und
drank of, ns its presence could bo
easily detected. When Dr. Smith
first arrived, lie inhaled the wo
man’s breath, and said lie could
easily detect the presence of the
blood Syrup. Dr. Fort fully
agreed with him in believing that
an overdose of Indian Blood Syrup
bail caused her death.
From what Mr. Miles told him,
and from what the ladies who laid
her out, Mrs. D. J. Kinney and
Mrs. N. 0. Goodman, said, the re
porter learned Hint Mrs. Wliarton
was deranged, as several of her
family were alllictud ill that way,
and a brother had lately died in an
asylum. About two years ago she
was confined iu tlie Millcdgevillc
asylum, but her husband was not
satisfied with her treatment, and
brought her home. She had never
been known to have attempted
her life, hcnfco it is supposed, and
supported by the best evidence at
hand, that she earned to her death
by an overdose of tlie medicine
mentioned. The directions for
taking it arc explicit, and caution
is made of taking too much.
As soon as possible Mr - Whar
ton was sent for, but wc presume
lie did not arrive until a late hour
last night. Mrs. Wliarton’s maiden
name was Susan Norman, and her
relatives live in Webster county. ,
Cause for Thanksgiving.
After the tine grain harvest in
tlie section of Putnam County, tho
people gathered iu Katonton and
held a meeting of thanksgiving for
the blessing of the crop. Our peo
ple have equal cause for such a
thanksgiving. The oat crop was
bountiful, and wlmt is better, the
corn crop is now safe. The rains
fur the past two days have been
very general and tho corn is made.
Not a bushel of Western corn will
lie shipped to our market next
year.
State Teneliem’ Institutes.
From a circular issued by State
School Commissioner Orr we glean
tho following information in regard
to tho Teachers' Institutes to be
held in this state, beginning the 1st
of August and continuing 'in ses
sion one month:
These Institutes will lie held at
Amerieus, Milledgeville and Toe-
coa. There will be two schools in
operation nt each place at the same
time, taught in separate buildings
—one for white teachers %nd one
for colored. Theso schools will be
taught by the same instructors.
Hon. James II. Smart, former Su
perintendent of Public Instruction
for tlie State of Indiana, will be
the General Superintendent, and
will divide bis time among tbe
three institutes.
Mr. W. II. Baker, for many years
superintendent of the schools of
Savannah and comity of Chatham,
will lie superintendent of the insti
tute at Amerieus, and will be as
sisted by tlie following corps of in
structors, lie taking the department
of Arithmetic: John M. Gannon,
of tho schools of Savannah, En
glish; Beniamin T. Hunter, ot Al
bany, Geography; and John Neely,
of Amerieus, Spelling, Heading and
Penmanship. The daily instruction
will bo confined to tlie sub|eotsjlist
named, but tbe night instruction
will take a wider range. Prcsidcnls
of colleges and I’rofossors will dis
cuss scientific and other education
al topics, and prominent gentlemen
who have taken ground in favor of
popular education will be invited
to discuss subjects connected with
the efforts which the State is now
making for the general education of
the masses. The general public
will be specially invited to attend
these night discussions.
The State School Commissioner
will deliver a series of lectures at
this institutejon tho duties of Coun
ty Boards of Education, County
School Commissioners and Teach
ers, and upon the general adminis
tration of the school law, on the
lfith, 17th, 18th und lMlli, und lie
urges the attendance of all County
School Commissioners, and invites
ns many members of Boards as can
conveniently be present.
The prico of board for white
teachers at Amerieus will be $13 to
$18 per month—as many us fifty
can be accommodated nt $13 und us
many more as may come at $15 to
$18. Colored teachers will be en
tertained by their colored friends
for $1.50 to $2 per week.
The Savannah, Florida & West
ern railroad will return free nil per
sons attending any of the institutes
who have paid full fare going. Tho
different roads under the manage
ment of the Central will transport
persons attending the institute,
charging the regular fare going,
and returning them at the rate of
one cent per mile, on presentation
of a certificate from the Commis-
sioner, showing that tlie holder has
passed over their roads going, and
that he is entitled to the privilege
of returning ut one cent a mile.
The teachers who attend tluso
institutes will be charged nothing
for instruction, and can attend such
institute as is most convenient.
Two committees, one of white citi
zens and one of colored, will be ap
pointed to assist teachers in find-
ing homes on their arrival.

Accident at Smith ville.
Friday night, when the up bon
accommodation train was switch
ing nt SmithvHle, about 1 o’clock,
a. in., an accident occurred that
will not be forgotten by the citi
zens of that place for some time.
A brakeman named John Hudson,
aged about 25, while endeavoring
to uncouple tbe engine from the
cars, slipped between the engine
and a car, and fell to tbe track,
tho train running over him, and
bruising anil mangling his body ’
and limbs in a frightful manner.
Usually there is an oil box attach
ed to tbe tender of the engine, and
it is supposed that lie intended
standing upon that while doing tbe
uncoupling, but unfortunately there
was none on this engine, and when
he let go his hold upon tbe ladder
to stand on the box there was
none. The train was delayed about
an hour and a half, but reached
America's in time to meet the down
train. Dr. Fort was sent for, who
in turn sent for Dr. Cooper, and
together they hoarded tlie down
train, which had waited lor them,
and went lo Smithvillc, arriving
there about 4 a. m. Tbe injured
man was alive and conscious when
they arrived, but soon after ex
pired. He was past all medical
aid, and they were only able to re
lieve him temporarily. Both arms
and his left leg were terribly man
gled, while bis chest was crushed.
Tho only information in regard to
his relatives that co.uld be gleaned
was that be bad a brother residing
in Marshallville.
