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.
