A Bad Accident.
Friday evening as Mrs. J. C.
Roney and her sister were driving
in a buggy between Mitchell's mill
and tbe depot, the 5 o'clock freight
came along and frightened their
horse, which attempted to wheel
around and in so doing backed tbe
baggy oil the narrow roadway down
the embankment, upsetting tbe
buggy and throwing out the ladies,
both of whom received severe
bruises.
Removal.
Mr. S. M. Cohen, whose name
has become svnonomous with liar-

rooms on Cotton Avenue uow oc
cupied by Messrs. J. B. Dunn and
R. T. Byrd and will have the two
rooms thrown into one, which he
will occupy with an immense stock
of dry. goods, fancy goods, clothing
and notions. Progress seems to
be bis watchword and he is never
so happy as when discovering some
bargain for his customers.
A Heavy Bain.
Friday night between $ and 9
o’clock this section was visited by
a very severe rain storm, and for
fully thirty minutes tbe rain came
down in torrents. An immense
amount of water fell, doing consid
erable damage. Mitchell* mill
pond was washed away, and many
sewers were destroyed, hardly any
not being damaged to some extent.
Tbe town was fllied with farming
people Saturday, who reported
more or less damage on every plan

The Fun of a Seine.
Monday morning a crowd of
sportsmen went down to Wells’
pond for a seine, as they bad heard
tbe dam was broke, and thought it
would be a One chance to catch
fish. It was all smooth sailing for
the lioys until they came to the
seining part. The pond was very-
low, and at every step a stump on
would stick out. making it hard
work to manage the seine. Added
to this was the mud and muck.
John Turpin started in once to
help, and before he bad taken three
steps be was in mud up to hit
waist. It became impoaaibie for
him to move, and the matter looked
serious until tbe boys got some old
raiia and pried him out. Tbe boys
did four or five hours ot tbe bard*
eat kind of work, and were rewnrd-
ed by catching about twenty-five
pound.
Added to All ttie.tber were caught

answer tbe tbousand-nnd-one things

or one at a time, on a mo
ment’s notice. Dr. A. J. Battle,
President of Mercer University,
says it is “a book for tbe million,
and ought to be in every house

of Rome, after owning it one week,
says “outside of tbe Bible it is tbe
most valuable book ever publish
ed.'' It is strongly endorsed by
Bill Arp, Ex-Qov. Boynton, Rev.
J. II. Winchester, and numbers of
others who are competent to judge.
Our advice is to look over the book
carefully when the canvasser calls
upon you. and then buy it.
Our Artesian.
The artesian .well seems to have
found a welcome in the hearts of
the city resideuts, and it is a con
stant source of surprise to see how
many families use it with success.
When a bucket was first put in the
casing and the water used, no one
thought it even as good as ordin
ary water. As its use steadily in
creased, its curative powers were
spoken of by many. Now it is pro
nounced good tor dyspepsia und
other disorders. There is a pecu
liarity about the water that is very
noticeable. In the morning it pre
sents a dull, muddy color, and at
noon and night is as clear as crystal.
The water is a great deal better
when drank from the well, as it lias
no bad odor. But let it stand a
short time and it is impossible for
sensitive stomachs to stand it. In
tbe mornings and evenings the well
is crowded by servants after water.
The council should find some way-
less laborious to get the water up.
For Mayor.
Editor Rkcoiweu:—I notice in
late issues of the Republican two
communications seemingly coming
trom members of the fire depart
ment. urging our fellow-citizen,
Capt.* A. C. Bell for the Mayor
alty. I agree with .“Mechanic”
that it is a little soon to moot
the subject, but I agree niso
that tlie suggestion is a proper and
wise one. Capt. Bell would make
a Mayor of which t he city would
lie proud. I have nothing to urge
against other gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned, but
I think we would find in Capt.
Bell an executive whom all classes
o( our citizens would support and
endorse, and that its would con
serve our interests as perhaps no
other can. One or tub People

The wood struck him on top of tbe

throughout the game, their bases
and scores being made from indi
vidual error* o( the home club.
When tbe Commercial club went to
bat they did so with confidence in
their strong batting and base run
ning powers. They were not will
ing to believe in the marvelous
stories of WoKe's curve pitching,
and when the first man struck out
it opened their eyes. They began
to lose faith when this was follow
ed up by two more out on strikes,
being unable to bat tbe curve.
After tbe first few innings the
game was uninteresting, as our
boys were unable to do anything
with Wolfe's pitching. They play
ed gamely, though, and died hard,
At the end ot nine innings the score
was 29 to 2, Hawkins and Storey
being the only men to cross tbe
home plate.
Wolfe is undoubtedly in the gen
eral meaning ol the word, a pro
fessional pitcher, and no amateur
nine can bat him, as was shown in
Dawson Friday morning, when the
Eufaula boys “kicked” at the end
of three innings. Our home l>oys
played poorly, miserably, you
might say, and made unpardonable
errors.
Should a return game be played,
the boys will insist upon Albany
having a straieht pitcher.
A Fine Compliment.
The Speaker of tbe House of
Representatives paid a fine compli
ment to our Congressman, Hon.
Chas. F. Crisp, in appointing him
on a select committee to inquire as
to the capacity oi the steel works
of the United States to furnish
metal for guns of high power and
metal plates for the construction
of vessels of war; also as to the
character and stilfinicncy of ma
chinery in the navy yards and
private foundries for the construc
tion of engines suitable for ves
sels ot war and for manu-
faturing such guns and vessels;
also as to the best location for
manufacturing guns and vessels;
witli power to sit in vacation at
any place and send for persons and
papers; tbe expeuses of tbe com
mittee to be (laid out of the con
tingent fund of the House. The
members ot this committee are
Samuel J. Randall,of Pennsylvania;
Abram S. Hewitt, of New York;
James X. Burnes, oi Missouri;
Chas. F. Crisp, of Georgia;’Frank
Hiscock. ot New York; Thomas
Reid, of Maine; Walter Phelps, of
New Jersey. Considering the
character of his associates on the
committee, the compliment to
Judge Crisp is a high one and
shows tbe remarkably high stand-
ing lie attained as a new member.
The Third district has reason to
feci proud of its congressional rep

Fruitful Favors.
We are indebted to Mr. W. F.
Coliinsworth for a watermelon of
Mk- Kolb Gem variety. The great
merit of this melon is that while
it grows as large and is as sweet as
other varieties, it will keep for
several weeks after being pulled
from tbe vine.
We are also indebted to Dr. It
C. Black and W. F. Hare for fine
melons. To Capt. A. C. Bell far
fine peaches aad melons. To Mr.
G. W. Morgan for some extra fine
peaches, aad Mr. B. F. Morgan for
some good old fashioned seedling
peaches. These favors are appre
ciated not only for tbe benefit re-
oeived from tbe trait, but for kind
ly feeling which prompts the gift.
Besides, being interested in the
development of this section, we are
pleased to have an opportunity of
inspecting and noting it* products.

Railroad Meeting at Lumpkin
On Thursday oi last week a rail
road meeting aad barbecue was held
in Lumpkin in tbe interest of tbe
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin
Railroad. Several prominent citi
zens, who are especially interested
in the railroad, attended the meet
ing. From tbe Lumpkin Indepen
dent we gather the following par
ticulars of the meeting.
Tbe chairman introduced Col.
S. U. Hawkins, President of the
road, who briefly stated the pro-
gress that bad been made in tbe
enterprise up to the present time.
He also stated that the contracts
would not be let out until every
dollar of tbe subscription was rais
ed, but said that tbe very moment
that this was done work would be
begun. '
The next speaker was Hon. Du
pont Guerry, of Americus. He
spoke of tbe necessities of the road
and of the unenviable position in
in which we are plaoed without
railroad facilities. He was author
ized to speak for Sumter county
and said that in one day half of tbe
subscriptions needed from that
county was raised and that tbe re
mainder would be apeedly raised.
Hon. D. B. Harrell, of Webster,
was next introduced and made a
strong, forcible speech, in which he
brought out eome plain truth and
logical conclusions. He said that
no fears need be entertained in re
gard to Webster county; that tbe
final success of tbe enterprise now
rested with Stewart county. Judge
Harrell showed clearly that the
road would be a paying investment
and said that if be had the money
in his pocket to spare he would not
want a better paying 20 per cent,
investment than to build the entire
line and not ask a dollar’s subscrip
tion. He said that it cast 82 per
bale to haul cotton to market 20
miles when a farmer used his own
teams and that the carriage ol tbe
cotton crop of Stewart county for
one season would pay this county’s
share ot subscriptions. In fact, be
would guarantee the road for 830,-
000. Ho urged the point that it
would pay every land owner in tbe
county; advancing tbe prices ot
land within a radius of five or ten
miles of Lumpkin to from 25 to 50
per cent, and to tbe outer limits of
the county as much as 10 per cent.
We wish every man in the county
could have heard Judge Harrell's
speech as he has the welfare of
Stewart county fully at heart and
and it working zealously for the
advancement of the interests of
this section.
Hon. R. F. Watts made the final
speech and showed the great ad
vantages oi transportation, which
he urged as the leading idea of all
communities. He closed by an
earnest exhortation to tbe people
of Stewart county to respond at
once to the necessities of this pro
ject snd raise the amount of sub
scription needed to ensure on the
part of this county the success of
the road. He then called lor sub
scriptions and met with ready re-
s|>onses from a number of patriotic
citizens in the court room. The
subscriptions did not appear to
come fast, however, as a large num
ber of our citizens have already
subscribed liberally.
On motion of Dr. W. A. Gregory,
it was agreed to make an uclive
canvass of the county during the
next week and report results by
Saturday, July 19th, and that a
committee of one be selected to go
to each district and co-operate with
the local committees already ap
pointed.
The barbecue was not a success,
as the rain poured down from 9 to
3 o'clock and it was impossible to
set the tables.
Tbe Independent estimates that
there were about 2,009 people
present.
