This is the way the Eufaula Bui

We were frequently told that
was dusty, a cotton buyer said
was the dullest day for cotton
ever saw, a collector said it was
tbe hardest time to raise money
ever saw, and one man told us
believed everybody was broke.
Clonds obscured tbe sun Ml day
and there was some promise
rain.
Yesterday morning an old dar
key appeared in.tbe streets, having
come from a long distance, appar-
ently, with no other object than
collect a nickel due him by a far
mer. The farmer had not the
change, so a gentleman standing by
agreed to become responsible foi
tbe money. There were two other
who agreed to stand his security
but (till Uncle John seemed “j
borons.” Finally t collection wa>
taken up, and the bill settled, ami
Uncle John went bis way rejoicing
If any of our friends want a good
collector, we can conscientiously
recommend John.

Committee Meeting.
Tbe monthly meeting ot tbo ex
ecutive committee of Sumter coun-
will convene at ten o’clock, a
at the Presbyterian chapel in
Americua, on tbe first Saturday in
November. A lull attendance ol
the committee is earnestly request-
A programme will be arranged
for the regular meeting of the
association which convenes with
New Hope churoh in tbe lower
part of the county on tbe fourth
Saturday in Novemcer.
“Come and go down to tbe plan
tation with me. I will bring you
back early In tbe morning,” said
Mr. Cliff Clay to a Recorded man
one pleasant morning a few days
ago.
“All right,” said the scribe, and
awav we went.
It is 21 miles to the Huegenin
plantation, which lies just on this
side of tlte Flint river. The plan
tation is an old one, and has been
in cultivation probably fifty years.
The land iq rich, and capable of a
high state of cultivation. The
plantation contains about 5,000
acres, portions of it being rented
to croppers. It is owned by Mr.
J. M. Johnson, of Macon, and has
been operated for the past ten years
by Mr. Clay, who, no matter wheth
er there is a drouth or a deluge,
has never failed to raakA money on
it, as hit books lor the past years
will show.
Behind Mr. Clay’s easy steppers
we covered the 21 miles in just
two bouts and a quarter, and con
sidering tho sand beds are nuoier
ous and heavy, it was very good
time. Mr. Clay’s residence on the
place is situated on a high hill
near the middle of the plantation,
and ia amply protected by a targe
pine grove, cool and clean. From
the sides of the hill, as far as the
eye can see, almost, the plantation
lies on all sides. It is a beautiful
view, and at any time Mr. Clay-
can see how his farm work is pro
gressing.
The plantation has been famous-
ly successful, as we arc told, and
is run on strict business principles.
Everything about the place is neat
and clean, and shows careful
handling. The negro quarters be
tween the pine grove and the river
make a small village. On the
whole plantation reside the small
number of four hundred and
eighty-two colored people. In
some quarters there is a species ol
negro rarely seen in Georgia called
the swamp negro, who have a dia
lect and brogue of their own. It
was simply impossible for us to
distinguish one word they said.
They are the best kind of workers
and rarely come to town.
On the same hill with the rest
dence are the gin houses, grist
mill, stables, sheds, and all the
buildings used on a large planta
tion. The store houses are con
structed of hewn logs, smoothed
on the outside, and made to resem
ble frame buildings. They will last
life time and be good for several
centuries then. Tho gin house is
combination of ingenuity and
common sense. Two gins are ruu
by a steam engine, and will turn
ont sixteen bales a day on a squeeze.
Tbe grist mill is in the saujc build
ing, and run by tbe same power.
large well by the side ol the
building supplies the water, and
pipes ate connected with another
well in ease of an emergency. The
day before we were there thirty-
four bates had been sent in, and
twenty bales were lying in tho
yard. Tbe cotton seed is taken
away as fast as the cotton is gincil,

Patti Rosa.
A fair audience, but not as good
the little lady deserved, greeted
Patti Ron in “Mizpah” Tuesday
night at Glover's Opera House.
The little star was bright, spark
ling and bewltcklug, and elicited
rounds of applause by her caprices.
Tbe support was excellent, and
fully up to tho mark. While the
plot of the play was rather obscure
and uninteresting, it abounded in
witticisms and by plays that con
vulsed the bouse from time to
time. Patti lto-a has successfully
solved tbe secret of pleasing the
people.

Capturing; the Spanish Amazons.
[New York Sun.]
Somo amusing details aro gradually
coming to light in regard to tho recent
revolt of the female convicts in the
prison of Alcala, in Spain. They drove
out all the guards and took complete
possession of tho place, which they bar
ricaded and guarded day and night.
They had an ample supply of provisions,
and when tho troops arrived to capture
tho prison tho women jeered them
through tho windows and pelted them
with bread aud vegetables from their
abundant supply. The ollicer in charge
' of the expedition against these viragoes
found himself in a bad fix. For eight
days he did not know what to do. To
use artillery against the young ladies
was out of tho question, and to got into
the prison without smashing down tho
walls seemed impossible.
Every day telegrams from Madrid
were poured upon the unfortunate old
commander, giving him instructions
But all these instructions were far easieT
to givo than to execute. At last he con
ceived a brilliant idea. He gathered
together a band of tho best looking
soldiers in his command, mado them
shave, wax their moustaches, aud pui
oil their gayest uniforms. Then he sent
them with a flag of truce to the Ama
wins. The handsome fellows were at
once admitted, but were not allowed to
return; in fact, they did not want to
get back, and it was part of tbe com-
nmnder’s plan of campaign to have them
captured. In a very short time these
military prisoners spread disunion and
mutiny among the Amazons and then
the placo was easily taken.

Biuks was having a number of pic
tures framed. He figured close on the
matter, and caino to tho conclusion that
if he bought his own glass ho could get
the frames mado at so much a foot and
stive about 10 per cent, by putting the
glass in and fitting the backs himself,
lie carefully measured the frames and
got the glass cut at a down-town place.
He broke tho largest sheet when ho was
taking it home. Ho set tho rest up in
his amateur workshop, and that night,
when limiting iu the dark for a screw
driver, he put his foot through another
sheet.
Getting to work ho framed cue pic
ture and on looking at tho finished job
saw that ho must wash the glass, and in
taking it out tho frame he knocked the
hammer through picture and glass, eou-
soquently he didn’t need to wash that
particular pane.* Tho next sheet was a
tritlo largo for the frame and in chisel
ing away tho rebate he drove the chisel
clear through and ruined a handsome
frame. As the rest of the sheets were
cut too small ho fears tho 10 per cent, is
about absorbed. Economy is wealth.

Man speaks with three tongues, the
