A sad occurrence ensl a shadow
over our quiet community Friday.
Mr. Aaron Daniels, blacksmith,
who lived two miles west of here,
| was found dead in the woods near
: his home, lie had been engage I
! in hauling rails, and Joe White,
who had called on business, went
out to sec him and was horrified
to And him lying stark dead on the
cold,, wet ground, near a pile of
rails, one ol which he had in his
hands when the deadly shaft struck
him. The alarm spread rapidly,
and soon a crowd of sympathizing
neighbors gathered at the spot to
keep their sad vigil until the ar
rival of tiie coroner and a physi
cian. Anont 10 o’clock at night
Dr.-Tip Watkins arrived, and a
partof the jury who were summoned
by the coroner. As the latter did
not put in appearance, ruone.rs
were dispatched In search of him.
When found he wus at a neighbor's
house asleep. Ail this time the
corpse was lying in the edge of a
flat with the water standing near
him. After some discussion the
coroner was prevailed upon to go
to the scene of sadness, anil after
an examination by the physician,
and the usual preliminaries, the
jury brought in a verdict of death,
caused by apoplexy.
Daniels came to this county a
year or so ago. Ho had been mar.
ried, but his wife deserted him,
carrying with her his two little
children. Coming hero he married
a respectable widow lady, and by
his sterling qualities he soon gained
the respect and good-will of the
country at large. His widow is
almost crazed by the terrible blow,
and many friends mourn bis un
timely taking oil'.
Mr. Hnte Studstill, or Brooks,
was recently burned to death in an
old sedge Held. The neighbors
gathered in to repair the fence, and
Will Walker cut down a tree
which struck another and was
thrown off, striking Walker and
catching his head between tho fall
ing tree and a log, causing death. |
Such is tho report brought me by j
a reliable gentleman from that sec- \
lion, to-day.
The Messrs. Miillis, two hard-
working young men, had their j
house, which was newly built, burn
ed together with a year's supply of!
provisions, n few days since. This i
is a sad.blow to the young men.
was released by the grand jury.
Q rite an interesting case against
the Central ltailroad and Banking
' Company was tried, which grew
' out of the terrible passenger train
I wreck near Georgetown over a year
| ago, brought by Miss Georgia
; Saunders,-of Terrell county, Ga., a
! victim of the wreck. Col. J. H.
■ Gucrry made a masterly effort for
the plaintiff, and a verdict of twen-
I ty-fivc hundred dollars was ren-
| ilered iiy the jury in favor of the
: plaintiff, which seemed to he satis-
i factory to the plaintiff and the poo-
pie. The defendant promptly mov
ed for a new trial, the bearing of
which was set for a future day in
Cnthbert.
During the court the writer met
with citizens, from every section
of the county amt interviewed them
with reference to their farming
prospects. Alh'cport the season as
backward, poor oat crops, plenty
corn lor home consumption, meat
scarce for want oi hogs, bat good
supply of stock hogs for the uext
time. Our county is on a boom for
improved hogs and Jersey intlle.
I recently visited tho stock farm
of Mr. J. C. Guilford, one of our
citizens, who is gradually merging
his hitherto cotton farm into stock-
raising, and was especially delight-
ed on inspecting his milk-house.
He keeps hut one milk cow for ills
own use; which yields daily about
thirty-five pounds of lich milk,
! fr im v. hlch is extracted about two
andonc-balfpoundsof gilt-edge but
ter. This description is not a
painted one, hut a reality. Mr. G.
has stock for sale and may be ad
dressed at Georgetown, Ga. He
has been offered and refused live
hundred dollars for this cow, but
she is not for Bale; her posterity,
is on sale.
Main, rain,all plowiug is blocked,
corn planting not finished.
The Tilden boom and protection
ists are not very popular in our
county.
I’.-of. W. A. Hill, n native of I ho
county and a son of J. N. Hill, has
a flourishing ntid remunerative
school ut Grange Hill; he is a suc
cessful educator and deservedly
popular.
Truck farming is decidedly on
the wane here.

esty and integrity. He waB a State
officer during the period of the fa
mous investigations and impeach
ments, and no breath of suspicion
was heard against him; and being
honest and capable, why should
not the policy of promotion be es
tablished at once, and a worthy
man be assigned to a place which
he would honor ami dignify?
The State's money would be safe
in bis hands, and the trust would
be returned, leaving those hands
as clean as now.
The writer earnestly_ hopes that
he will be chosen, without opposi
tion, to this high office.

from this (Quitman) county may
bo read with relish by some of
your many readers, as it hails from

Leesuuro,Ga., March 25th, 1884.
Editor Recorder: It hasaflord-
ed mo sincero pleasure to hear that
Col. Robert W. Hardeman, the
present Assistant Comptroller Gen
eral, will lie a candidate for the po
sition of Treasurer of the State of
Georgia.
A long and warm personal
friendship has authorized me to
say to him frequently that he had
spent many years in serving the
people of Georgia in the capacity
of a subordinate, when he was em
inently' qualified to lie the head of
any of Hie departments of the State.
As Assistant Comptroller Gener
al, he has been invaluable to Col.
Wright, himself an accomplished
gentleman and a thorough master
of his work. Col. Hardeman has
kept tiie accounts in tho Comptrol
ler General's Department—moro
intricate and difficult than any 1
have ever known—in a masterly
manner, and has made as complete
and satisfactory exhibits in the an
nual reports as the people of Geor
gia ever had.
Being each a thorough and ac
curate accountant, and knowing
perfectly all the details and duties
of the Treasurer’s office; knowing
the history of every bond ever is
sued by tho State; I can say, with
out being charged with flattery,
that there is no man in the entire
State of Georgia better fitted for
the office or more deserving of U.
His name it the synonym of bon-
The Crimes of a Day.'
To show how unjust are the
charges made by cot tain Republi

crime, the Savannah News gives a

taken without previous examina
tion from its Saturday's imil.

Of thirty-two oriminalitems only
four related to the South. We do
notassail Northern civilization, but
we do insist that the number ol
crimes of all kinds committed at
the South is not greater in propor
tion to tho population than at tho
North. Although we have a large
proportion of ignorant negroes,
tho criminal statistics of the South
ern States wilt compare favorably
with those of any other section of
the Union. There is too much
crime everywhere, and tbo law is
not enforced as strictly as it should
he, but tbe cry against criminality
in the South is unfuir and unjust.
Two years ago the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway pur
chased a strip of low marsh-land
in the southern part of the city of
Jacksonville which Imd been for
years an “eyesore” lo tbe citizens
ol this place. It is now probably
the most valuable piece of property
in Florida. Substantial wharves,
extensive warehouses end s hand
some depet have been erected on
the site. It is now the first Flor
ida soil on which the minority ot
tourists entering Florida steps.
Its railroad tracks run down to the
head of the wharves, and freight
and passengers are transferred di
rectly to or from the steamer. No
ono can tell what land, either iu or;
in the immediate vicinity of a grow-1
ing city, will become valuable.
The time may not-be distant when
land in the neighborhood of this
city, for which there is now no de
mand, will command an enormous
price.
AlUoy Medium.
About three weeks ago Silas
Johnson, an industrious negro
man, who lives abont fire miles
East ot Albany, had bU bouses
containing his household goods,
and corn and other provisions for
the year, consumed by fire. Silas
is the head of a largo and depend
ent family, and this misfortune
fell upon him with crushing weight.
Everything lie possessed lay in
. ashes before him—not a dust of
j meal for his wife and children nor
an ear of corn to feed bis stook
with—no shelter to protent bis
' family from tbe weather, nor mou^y
I to employ help to build—the time
for putting seed in tbe ground had
i arrived, but Ids hands could not
| perform the work. Ho was broken
I up completely, and knew not which
; way to turn for relief. _
i in a thickly settled neighbor-
i hood news of a fire spreads rapid
ly, and in twelve hours It. was
known for miles around that Silas
had' lost by fire everything he pos
sessed. Like all Southern people
with a hatred for the negro race
which Is limitless (?) and with a
fixed purpose[a9 adding still further
to the misery of this poor, unfor
tunate, helpless negro man, they
arranged a plan—they concocted a
scheme against him which will
doubtless, as we unfold it, send a
thrillorhorrortbroughtbo North
ern heart and cause tho bloody shirt
to be suspended from tbe gabel-
end of the moon.
As Silas stood, the day following
the fire, viewing the ashes of Ms
property, a white man drove upand
told him to come to his crib and get
corn and fodder; another told him to
come to bis house oad get mehl and
ment, another and another', until a
large number had gathered, came
to help him rebuild his bouse; more
came with their plows and teems to
give him a day's work, so that be
could get his corn in the ground;
others contributed money and such
things as he stood most in need of,
end to-day Silat is living in bis
new house, has plenty lo oat, leap
with his farm work, and. if it ,WM
not for the ashes, he would hardly
fool that he had been burttd out

It will be remembered that when

punish you for this,"and then pro
nounced a prophecy of vengeance
upon his prosecutors, their witness

Outliving “old mortality” baa
always been considered an impoa-
slbilily, but Mr. Charles Bsrtett,
of Ashburnbam, Mass., has outliv
ed tbe mortality tables of a compa
ny in which bis life was insured,
and has been paid tbe amount ot
bis policy in full, besides the div-
idend of tke current year. HU
policy for $1,000 was insured in
1840, when he was 68 years Y>d,
and by its terms was payable at
death. On the 3d lost, he attained
the age of 96, the sstreme limit of
life, according to tbe table* of the
company in which be was Insured.
