lI “l''omce. nrarjl
I.kksiii hg, Oa., March 25.—We
had before us a few days ago the
Atlanta Constitution's picture of
the late Capt Dawson, when we re
marked that he was as handsome n
man as we ever saw.
“When did you ever see him?’’
asked one of the party.
“Why, right here iu Leesburg,”
was our answer, “and iu jail.”
“Injail!”
"Yes, in our jail.”
“Not a prisoner, was he?"J
“Have ail of you forgotten the
circumstance that brought Captain
Dawson here? I can recall it as if
it was yesterday; how he looked
when he left the jail with Sheriff
Tison that day lor Charleston, and
thinking of that reminds me of how
few of us that composed that posse
that are now citizens of old Lee.
Let’s see—Sheriff Tison, Judge
Kimbrough aud Dr. Coleman are
dead, Dr. Hitt aud Hood Illtt have
moved to Augusta, ex-SherlffSalter
ami myself are left and the only
two of the party that live iu the
county at this time.”
"But tell us about Dawson's be
ing in jail ami how lie came there.”
“Well, it was this way. He was
here to carry Ely Crimes to Charles
ton ns a witness for his iiowen dam
age suit. It seems that during the
war one < . C. Iiowen was a major
in Ely Crimes’ regiment, and the
Major and Colonel did not get along
well together and Bowen induced
Grimes to shootaud kill Col. White.
If any of you remember Ely Grimes,
tie was, when a young man, said to
he reckless and indifferent. After
the war .Grimes moved to Lee anil
lived at John I.arrimore's, and
while there told of Ills killing Col
White and gave as an incentive to
do so, tlmt Bowen bad promised a
reward and ills release from service.
Some years after tills when South
Carolina was making an heroic
effort to rid herself of rndleiil rule
and ruin, this same Iiowen was n
candidate for Congress. His char
acter was not so good and the
“News and Courier" was making It
warm for him by making plain
some of ills history as a soldier aud
citizen.”
“Will Larrimore, an AmericuB
hoy, was then traveling for some
Eastern house, and gave to Captain
Dawson Grimes' story of White’s
murder and Bowen's connection
witli It. The race was run and
Bowen defeated, -nd damages set
up against the “News and Courier"
by Bowen.”
"When tile case was to come up
for trial Ely Grimes had been mude
to believe that if he gave In ids
testimony he would be hnudlcd for
the killing and therefore he was no
willing wituess. By some authori
ty Grimes was arrested and placed
in Jail here to await the coming of
Dawson.”
“Oil the evening before he was
to accompany Capt. Dawson lie
seemed perfectly- satisfied that lie
would he ajlowed to return without
liiolestition, aud in a conversation
with him myself, he spoke of Capt.
Dawson’s manly assurance that no
harm would befall him and spoke
with much confidence of the Cap
tain, and was willing to do all he
could} to keep a man like Bowen
from rcceiviug damages from a
gentleman likeCupt. Dawson, wliou
he wns in possession of evidence that
could prevent it."
“On the day, however, when
Grimes was to be carried, his mind
underwent another change."
“This was made known to DawBon
and in company with Sheriffs Tison
nnd Salter, Judgo Kimbrough, Dr.
Coleman, Hood Hitt and the writer,
Capt. Dawson walked down to the
jail. Junt as Sheriff Salter was
turning the lock cf the outer gate,
we he„rd a commotion In the jail
as If Borne one was lighting. As
rapidly as possible we mado ojr
way up stairs, nnd there upon tho
cell Iloor lay Ely Grimes, lifeless.”
"He was taken In the ballway and
Drs. Hitt and Coleman gave him
their attention, while Geo. Brown,
nuotlier Americus uoy, told us of
Ely's Btrange nnd sudden attempt
to take his own life. George and
Ely occupied the same cell, and as
they saw us coming down, Ely re
marked to George, ‘What aro so
many folks coming here for, and
who are they,’ aud without stopping
to learn, Ely Grimes madearun for
the back of the cell, and hurled
himself head first against the Iron
door. The third attempt left him
I’feless, and bis scalp so swollen in
so ort a time that it was with dif
ficulty that the physicians were en
abled to mako out whether or not
thero was a fracture or a concus
sion.”
“It was there that I noticed the
features of Capt. Dawson, and the
change in his countenance. Yet he
did not forget liia case and was the
first to say, ‘I will tnkeyour inter
rogatories and oxplain why the wit
ness cannot attend court.’ He had
but a short time to prepare them,
and giving directions about Ely—if
he should get over his shook, he left
I)r. Coleman and the writer with
Grimes, while tbcothers repaired to
the jailor’s room below, where
Judge Kimbrough drew and signed
the necessary papers.”
“Yes, Grimes got well and went
to Charleston aftei wards, and is
now living in Berrien county.”
"Who wns George Brown? Ho
was a boy raised in Americus,
moved to Lee, killed a negro, gavo
bond and had to be brought back
from Texas for trial, was acquitted
and died in tills county. K.

Fort Vai.Lky, March 25.
Kihtoii Recorder—Some letters
are before me informing me of a
very iuju rious announcement of my
name in the Recorder. Iu the
past we have had some little inti
macy, and I know you are not the
man who would wantonly or wil
fully injure the reputation of nny
one. The first statement in the Re
corder of 1KK.", I neglected ro reply
to with an explanation, which I will
now make, since the same charge
has been made recently. In 18S4
with close attention to iny business
up to October 1st, I realized one
hundred ami eighty-tliree dollars.
On this pitiful sum I could not do
justice to the wants of a sick wife
and live children, i accepted a
place on Col. l-laiicock's staff as a
writer for the Sumter Republican.
For which I was well and promptly
paid. At the ond of (lie year, Mr.
Aon!!, who,is now dead, engaged
me to work for him In Albany.
January is a poor month for car
riage makers. February I had plenty
to do. I always remitted money to
my family Uirmgli Mr. John H.
Sullivan, wlio always gave it ills
prompt attention. Thinking I wns
subjecting him to ton uiuo'a trouh'c
my-wife suggested that tho easiest
way would lie to enclose the money
in the letters instead of postal notes,
[ infoimcd Will Jackson of tho ar
rangement aud instructed him to
deliver my letters to no ouo but my
son Douglas.
In Albany I lived o i one dollar a
week, slept on Hie -lion ilonr and
worked nigni and day. Wllliij two
weeks I sent home nlue'eeii dollars
in letlers, mid m.v family never
iieurd a word from me. Wife sent
me three letters which never reach
ed Albany. Capt. Busk, the kind
postmaster of Albany, and Ills dep
uty, snw me enclose the money and
knew my anxiety of mind. Mr.
Small of your city, Gen. Henry
Morgan and I’rof. Shropshire, of
Albany can he applied to as to how
I done my duty, for tho last two
kept mo company when I worked
at night, and know my solicitude
for my family’s comfort and wel
fare. Alas! Mr. Acufl'i dead, hut
he, knowing my situation and rend
ing the article which Mr. Sullivan
had sent me, at once, of his own free
will, wrote to that gentleman an
exonerating statem-ut, which lie
may have iu ills possession now. I
forgot tilree dollars which I hud sen t
by Mr. Wheeler (the tinner), which
wns nil the money that reached my
family in fifteen days. I do not
blame the Bkcordkii for the state-
ment it then mude. The last one
might as well havo been unsaid.
The trial and conviction of Will
Jackson expluins everything, hut
alas! too lute to rescue my uume
from the odium which the thought
less are ever ready to season with
bitterness.
I feel that I am consuming too
much space iu your column, iu con
clusion let me say in all humility,
that ail who know ine well will at
test that cruelty forms no part of
my nature. I gladly refer you to
Professor John It. Leamon, one of
the best and most amiable of men,
who has worked with me at times
in the finishing of carriages for
many years. Also to Mr. Tom H.
Greene, In whose employ I hnve
been, us to my daily life, my actions,
my principles and the tenor of my
conversation.
Whoever seen me idling away my
time on the streets reviling and
speaking unkindly of anyone?
Whoever heard me complain—even
when my heart was almost crushed
with sorrow, affliction aud death?
When not at work, my time is spent
with books and I never had time or
inclination to meddle with other
people’s private affairs.
From my Inmost heart I thank
the good people of Americus for

The Amcrlcua Investment Company
Owns a Controlling Interest.
President Hawkins, of the S. A.
M. Railroad company, and Presl
dent Bagley, of the Americus In
vestment company, returned yes
terday from Atlanta, where they
have been attending a meeting of
the stockholders of the Atlanta and
Florida railroad. Below we give
the proposition made by them,
whloh was accepted by the stock
holder*, an i thereby gives tho
Amerfous Investment company a
controlling Interest in that road.
We have conversed with a num
ber of the citizens of this place con
cerning the deal. Some of them
favor the project, while others be
lieve li a severe blow to Americus.
Mr. Bagley thinks that it will re
dound greatly to their benefit
from the fact that ns soon
as the extension is completed it will
give us competitive rntcB from the
West.
THE PROPOSITION.
The proposition wus to this eil'ect:
The Americus Investment Com
pany says that if the Georgia Im
provement Company, which con
trols the Atlanta and Florldn rail
road, will increase its capital stock
from |400,000 to {000,000, it, the
Americus Investment Company,
will take one-half of the entire
stock, to-wit: {’>00,000—{100.0(H) of
the same at par, and {200,000 ut fifty
cents on the dollar, giving their
notes for tlie{!0',000, payable at tho
end of twelve months without In
terest; the notes amt stock
to remain in the possession
of tho Georgia .inprovement Com
pany fer collateral, tho remaining
{100,000 to be raised by tile Georgia
Improvement Company by a 25 per
cent, additional assessment on its
stock. The condition of the agree
ment Is that the Americus Invest
ment Company will undertake to
extend the Atlantu and Florida from
Fort Valley, Its present terminus,
to Cor<’Je t ou tlieKavonna\i,Amerl-
ous& Montgomery Railroad, a dis
tance of forty-two miles.
This proposition does not relieve
the Georgia Ini provement Company
of carrying the presout indebted
ness of of the AHantaand Florida
Railroad, which foots up {540,000—
{250,000 of which is now due.
Using the {200,0)0 thus paid in
enables them, the Georgia Improve
ment, to build the extension with
out issuing a bond or incurring a
dollars’ indebtedness.
When this extension is com
pleted, which will he done by
August 1st, of this year, it will give
the S A. M. system three hun
dred milesnr rosil through the best
portion of Georgia, 'npping the lar
gest cities In theSta e, the business
of which now finds easy outlet vis
McRae to Brunswick, as well
over its own line of stenmer« to the
same port.
As soon as possible ttie necessary
papers will be drawn up aud the
money paid over. The project has
been taking shape for over a week
and culminated as above stated
Kxpuuil the Mind
By seeiog us much as you can of
the world. But ere you set out
either ns a tourist, commercial trav
eler or emigrant—whether you go
by rail, steamship or steamboat,
provide yourself with Hostetler's
.Stomach Bitters, which the travel
ing public recognizes as tho finest
medical safeguard and preventitive
of sen sickness with which any one
journeying by laud or water can be
provided. It furnishes to the West
ern pioneer adequate protection
against malaria, rheumatism, and
those disorders of the bowels which
miasma tainted water beget. Its
sedative effect upon a stomach per
turbed by the rocking of a ship is
truly magical, aud it is a capital
appetizer and nerve invigorator.
Excellent is it for biliousness and
kidney inaction, and it counteracts,
in a remarkable degree the effects
of fatigue, physical or ‘mental.
After wetting aud exposure in In
clement weather, it should be used
as a preventitive.
