SCHLEY COtJNTY NEWS. Mr. Carmichael of Montezuma was in town yesterday representing Bone – Chapel, wholesale grocers and confec tioners of Macon, He says Macon has been selling lots of goods in this section and don’t intend to surrender this terri tory to Columbus, Arnericus or any oth er place without a lively tussle. The third anual meeting of the Macon county Veterans’ Association at White water creek last Wednesday was a grand success. The addresses were made by B. H. Wilkinson, Esq. Hon, C. F. Crisp, and General Phil Cook. The barbecued dinner was just splendid and every-body came away happy. # Last Sunday seems to have been an unfortunate day for those attending Hopewell church. As Mr. John collum wa3 returning home, he got out of his buggy to open a gate, his mule took fright, runaway, and threw his wife and baby out, and injured both quite serious y Now and then a farmer bobs up and declares Ins intention to buy the cheap est bagging offered him if it is jute. But this should not discourage those who are struggling manfully to resist a mo nopoly that was gotten up to wring from the farmers of the South an unjust tax upon their labor. The war on the jute trust is a righteous one and will succeed. We don’t want the readers of the News to judge Ellaville by our present advertizing columns, and imagine we are publishing a paper at a little cross roads country village; just wait until our merchants get in their new stock and then look out for a newspaper that looks like it was published at a live, hust ling, thriving, growing county site, fill ed up with prosperous, intelligent, and reading people. We sympathize with Mr. and Mrs, Eugene Dixon in the loss of their young est child, which died Monday morning. Aged, six months and three days. Another little form asleep, And a little spirit gone; Another little voice is hush’d, And a little angel born; Two little feet have gone the way To the home beyond the skies; And our hearts are like the void thatcomes When a strain of music.dies. The people in the neighborhood mid way between Ellaville and Andrew Chapel are just a little too far from eith er place to attend Sunday School with small children, so they have organized and are keeping up a most flourishing Sunday School of their own. Mr. A. T. Mulder is superintendent, and the at tendance is large. They meet alternate Sundays at the residences of Mr. Mulder. Mrs. Sarah Driver, and Mrs, Laura Mock. Col. A. S. Cutts lias been elected pres ident of the Sumter county Veterans Association, and he comes out in a vig orous appeal to the citizens of Sunuer to contribute liberally to a big barbecue in Arnericus, and to thiow wide open their doors on the 14th for the enter tainment of old veterans from adjoining counties. Indications point to this as one of the grandest reunions of old vet erans that has ever taken place in this section. A Schley county young man, of excel lent family, but wayward inclinations, has come to the conclusion that the way of the transgressor is hard. Joseph re sisted temptation, kept the seventh manchnent, lied from the embrace of Mrs. Fotiphar and became the ruler of Egypt, but this young- man yielded to temptation, violated with impunity the seventh commandment, and didn’t flee until Sheriff Alien had a warrant for him. Last Monday he was captured and brought back with sadness in his heart, shame in his countenance, and a bullet in his leg. Later: They decided to mat - ry and go off on a bridal tour, “ All’s well that ends well.”—Shakespeare. Our farmers need feel no uneasiness about getting enough cotton bagging to cover their cotton, The Rochelle Itegis is Ler says: “The West Point mills will soon begin to run 150 anti-trust bagging looms, which will produce 150 yards to each loom per day; total per day, 22,500 yards. The Rosedale Manufacturing Company will run 100anti trust bagging each looms, loom which will day; total, m!i J e 1 ,>,000 >’ raids ar< H pe to per j day. Add the 22,500 j an s iom e West Point mills to the lo,000 yard, produced bv the Rosedale Manufactu ring company and it gives 87,-)00 >aios of anti trust bagging that Wes Point will be able to furnish daily as long as orders continue to come in. Now mul tiply the daily product by 125 rim you will see what we are doing down by the river to prevent the jute bagging «u age.” Supprised Cuffees. A lot of Macon darkies while attend ing the tournament in Arnericus last week, struck the bottom of their cash accounts and decided to steal a ride back to their home in Macon. Finding a box car open they crept in, closed the door and chuckled over their good luck. Con ductor Chipley came along, locked the door and called out “All aboard,” ino cent of his car lead of human freight. Imagine the utter disgust of the ebony hued Maconites when they reached El laville and found themselves locked in a freight car, going in an opposite direc tion to their home. Whea they fully realized the situation, they called lustily for the conductor and plead to be let out; lie very readily consented to do so if they would pay their passage this far. As they could not. or did not, pony up the cash, he left them just as they had placed themselves, and pulled out for Columbus, with the sickest lot of cuffees that ever stole a ride on a railroad train. At the water tank, four miies above here they managed to pry open the door and escape to the woods, a sadder but wiser lot of excursionists. Skipped To Save His Hide. A novel plan for making every fellow earn his bread, was adopted last Janua ry by the hands working on the planta tions of Messrs. Livingston, Barrow and Howard in the neighborhood of Hope - well church. All hands, white and black, entered into a compact to keep a close record of the work done by each hand on these three plantations, and to meet on the fourth of July, and tie up and whip soundly, every one who had not done bis full quota of work up to that date. Each one entered into the compact and agreed to submit to the lash in case he was adjudged by the others to deserve it. The result has been a big year's work and a tremendious big crop. Only one man failed to do his duty. He took up too much of his time fishing, and his fellow workmen met on the fourth of July to carry out the terms of the com pact, but he knew what was coming and skipped out to parts unknown. Blowing Wells. In boring for water on his plantation near this place, Mr. Seaborn K. Hals tead had to go so deep that he must have struck the dominions of Pluto or some other sea port town. A draft of wind, as if blown from some powerful blowing machine below, rushes out through the well with such force as to keep up a con tinuous roar that can be heard all over the place. One of his neighbors, Mrs. Clark Robinson also has a blowing well. Some of the boys fitted a guano funnel over one of the weds and fastened an ale bottle over the small end of the funnel, and it made a noise t hat could be heard as far as a steam whistle. Notwithstand | ing their blowing peculiarity, these wells furnish an inexhaustable supply of good water. Forty-seven years ago, two negro boy, were up at auctiDn an j K0 I,I. Ned Cicero a we p known colored farmer of this coun ty, was one of the boys, liis brother Tom, was ^.j ie 0 tR er> Different purchasers bought them and they were separated, >- e( p g blaster brought him to what is now Schley county, Tom was carried off Ned knew not where. Freedom came and found them grown up men with families to care for, and no money for them to look up kin lolks. Years rolled on and still they drifted apart. Last Friday, an old gray headed darkey got off the train at the depot in Ellaville, and the brothers met for the first time since they stood on the block and were bid in by seperate masters nearly a hall century ago, Mrs. Dr. Blanchard, of Columbus, president of the Womans Cliristan Tem perance Union came over with Mrs Dr. Smith and delivered quite an interesting lecture yesterday afternoon at the Meth odist church. Owing to so many of our people being absent on the excursion, the attendance was not large, but the lecture was much enjoyed by those pres ent and a Womans Christian Temperance Union was organized, with a fair mem bership. Mr. A. J. Glover and wife, while on their wa v to Hopewell church last .Satur day, driving a spirited young mule had a runaway an l come near having a gen eral smash up. The animal became frightened by the breaking of a stnq , going down a steep hill, but was finally stopped before any serious damage was done. One day last week Mr. E. H. Cordell killed twenty-six rattlesnakes on his place three miles from town, and it was not a tip top uay for killing snakes either. The largest was a whopper with nine rattles and a button tbeiothera were her baby snakes. The friends of Miss Kate Merritt were glad to meet her in town Monday, Mrs. Subers left to-day for Anderson ville accompanied by the Misses Clark. Hon. A. C Murray arrived Tuesday P. M. on a brief visit to his.home Mr. Charles P. Davis, of Arnericus, was over Sunday on a visit to relatives. Mr. E. B. Hornady of Atlanta spent, several days this week with his mother's family. Messrs. Charles Green and Zack Crit tenden of Shellman are visiting friends in the city. Mr. M. L. Shealv, of Oglethorpe was in town this week visiting Major E. S. Baldwin. Rev. C. D. Adams, of Hamilton, was in town Tuesday visiting friends and looking after his farm near here.
