WOMMACK’S AGONY,
The Terrors of a Death From Hys
drophobia. i
Socrsr CrrcLe, Ga., Feh, 14.
[Special]— As stated briefly in
Thursday’s Constitution, a white
man named John Henry Wom
mack died som# days avo with what
was supposed to be hydrophobia.
There is little room to doubt now
that it was genuine hydrophobia.
Others 1 the neighhorhocd have
been bi ten, and the excitement
there is
LITTLE SIHORT OF A PANIC.
cx%e are these: Oune rsonth ago
from last Wednesday Wommock
w s bitten by a cat. The wount
ws a severe one on the I fores
finger. Tt healed up in @ week or
ten days, and the incident was for
gotten. Saturday, the 9:h, Wom—
mael complained of a shooting
pain in the finger. At first this
vas confined to th- finger, then it
reached the clbow, then to the
shoulder, finally entering the body.
He described the pain by sayiag
that it #s«in the marrow of his
bones, and felt like pins sticking.
The shooting pains became more
frequent and severe. On Saturday
nizht he had a violent fit. The un~
fortunate man would ‘
JUMP LIKE A CAT, '
beat Mg breasts with his feet, lie
dewn upon the floor, kick until thel
bones in his toes were broken. The
it lasted seven minutes. After it,
was over Wommock explained that
he had been perfectly conscious |
the whole time, but was utterly
unable to control himself. Half
an' hour after the first, was the secs |
ond fit.
‘For Ged’s sake open the door,’
pleaded Wommick; ‘l"'m choking to
death’ '
The door was opencd. ‘
‘Shut it quick I’ séreamed |he;
madman, ‘<hnt it quick * I'm chok«
ing to death.’
Subsequent fits were in e\'eryi
way like the first, except more
severe, l
“Wife, he said after one, ‘I want
éd to bite you, buf I clamped myl
teeth and wouldn’t d¢ it.’ ‘
Sunday, veizhbors wera going to
cha’n Wammock for the protection 1
of the family, but he beg.ed them}
not. |
‘I know you all,” he said. ‘I know
if I Inte vou you would die.—
When I waut to bite you I just
think of you suftering as I do, and
I won't. |
The fits continued at regular in+
tervals of ten to fifteen minutes un
til Wednesday moruiug last. \' am
‘wack was then put intoa room
‘alone, as he was getting evidently
less able to control Limself. His
Jlower eyelids and the muscles
[nbout the checkbone began ewell~
iing until the eye entirely closed.
The lump under each eye was lar
' ger than an egg. It was firsffred,
| then blue, finally almostildack.—

DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1889,
the spasms would come on the eyes
shone
WITH A GREENISH GLITTER
like those of a cat in the dark.—
When Wammack was locked in
‘ the room ina hurry, and in the
confusion the baby was left on the
‘bed. Wommack had a terrible
spasm, but did not notice the bahy
} lving three feet away. "I'he moth
er of the child ran in and picked up
the baby. The spasm
his wife's hand, e fi-!M§
seconds, told her good-bye and al
so several relatives and neighbors,
As the door was ahout to be shut
again he begged for his wife to
come 10 him again.
‘Go back, John,” said a neigh~
bor.
Wommack obeyed. The Joor was
shut. Almost immediately he
Jmped ap twice, sereaminy :
‘Oh! Oh? ,
Then he fell and lay quite stil'.
The door was opened, and he was
found lying on the floor, his head
propped against the bed, his heavy
beard was matted with white froth,
and after he fell a covsiderable
quantity of the same froth fell from
his lips, forming
A POOL OX THE FLOOR,
Wommack’s feet and hands were
terribly bruised and lacerated, His
finger nails were torn oft, his breast
was black and sore from beat
ing it.
TEN DAYS AGO
Mr . Wommack was bitten by the
house cat. It was known that the
strange cat that bit Wommack had
alse bitter the house cat. Tuesday
Mrs. Wommack compliined of
pains in her heel, similar to those
experi nasif by her hogband,
commence until the sorc apparents
ly healed up. The country was
scoured for a madstone. Finally
one was found. This and other
remedics, real or supposed, are be
ing wed. Mes. Wonmmack is aps
varentiy in good he-lth as ever,
talks as 40, and the only syiips
toms are the siight pains, stariing
in the heel, extendiug to theaukl.,
She says the madstone has cased
these, paing, thouygh she still fecls
occasional twinges. She is left with
four children, all girls, the young=
est a baby at the breast. Her rel:-
tives and friends are with her con~
stantly,
‘Do yow think you have hydro
phobia?’ ehe was asked to-night.
“The doctors says I have the
neuralgia,” she answered evasive
ly.
‘Do you feel like your husband?
‘He said he felt it started that
way. but I'm feeling better, and
hope it is neuralgia or rheumatism,
I don't mind dying, but don’t want
to die like John died.’
‘Are you well in every respect
but that?’
‘As well as T ever was.’
There was some doubt in the
minds of the country pcople about
Wommack’s case, though the effect
is none the less marked on that ac
count. They have :
KILLED ALL THE CATS AN DOGS
for miles around, Mrs. Wommack’s
case is being watched- with interest
and the identity alresdy shown be«
tween her case and her husband’s
is causing general alarm.
A three-year-old negro girl, the
daughter of Gus Starks; was bit
the day after Mrs, Womnmck was.
The -=at that did this was also bit—
ten by the cat that bit Mre: Wome
mack. Three or four days age
John Parker, a six-year-old whate
boy, was bitten by ancther vicious
cat, Several mules and horses’have
been bitten within” the past few
days, -
If it "is not hydrophobia, what
isit? @i
P i e ol
The Vermont Legistature hav
ing retused women right tovote in

r have' sent in a petition declaring
that “taxation without representa

\
\
~ Whereas, Hon. R H Jackson
has tentered his resignation as pres
ident of the }’amem’ Alliance, and
it becomes my duty under the cons
stitution and ruhings of the judici
| e Sy dities
therefore I do make this appeal to
each and every Allianceman in
Georg'a to do all in his power for
the maintaining and propagation of
the principles of the order and for
perfect harmony aud universal cos
eperation in the brotherhood, and
espeeially d I beseech every Alfi
ance to at onee take stock in puars
suance of the plan adopted and
thus help the board of Exchange
to begin operation and thus vastly
benefit our order. Let oti¥ motto
be onward, never tiring of fainting,
until our people are in a condition
ot freedom from all who dare te ap
press and hinder unlawfully our
peace, progress and' imdependence:
With confidence i your integrity
and devotion to the principles of
our order, I assume the duties in«
cumbent upon mre, hoping for all
due allowance im the discharge of
these duties to which I am so unex
pectedly called. I am the more
sanguine of success from the fact
that the national lecturer from
Texas (Brother Ben Terrell) is now
in Georgia and will, soon as ap~
pointments ean be arranged, ad
dress the order iv the state. Know
ing his ability and unselfishness in
this mission of love aud duty pers
form, I heartily recommend him to
the brotherhood. He brings with
him experience ot exchange matters
by which we hope to proit, and
herchy call atteation to the reso~
lution adopted at the last session of
the State Alliance, to wit :
Resolved, that it is the sense of
your commitree that all ineligible
persons, now members of the order,
be suspended by the president at
once, and that where a Farmers’ or
County Alliance shall withhold the
fact ot ineligibility from the proper
suthorities it be the duty ot the
president to suspend said farmers
or county alliauce.

A Chattahoochee Steamer Burned
to the Water's Edge.
Corumnus, Ga., February 18.
- ~[Special.]~The steamer Aid,
plying between this city and Apa
lachicola, was burned to the water’s
edge at Stewart’s landing, near Eu
faula, about 10 o’clock last night
The fire caught in the wood rack,
and as the wind was blowing very
hard, the boat was soon.
’ BURNED Ty THE WATER'S EDGE. .
The passengers and crew all es~
caped without much trouble, The
boat had on’ a small miscellaneous
freight and ouly one bale ot cot
ton, Most of the papers and mons
ey in the office was saved. The
boat was in charge of Capt. A M
Bryant, and was being run as an
independent line. It was a small
craft, and was fitted up at a cost of
about $5,000, and was in good con
dition, There wus no insurance,
The boat was owned by a company
of which Mr, J F Ticiiass, of thie
city, is president.
Examples for Farmers to Follow.
A farmer at Woodville, Georgia,
advertises for sale “country hams
and shoulders, in lots to suit the
purchaser.” 2
The Middle Georgia Progress
notes the fact that a farmer living
near that place realized 8125 from
oue sow last year, and that he
still had eight of her pigs in his
‘barnyard. ’ oram
~ Here are two men who have set
a worthy example for the far.ners
of the south to follow. Southern
farmers will never be prosperous so
long as they buy their corn and
meat in the West. To be success—
ful a farmer must make his farm
self sustaining. He can never do
this as long as he raises nothiog but
cotten, and buys his farm supplies
at credit prices. This matter has
been fully ‘ested, add the farmers
everywhere are beginning to real
ize why they have been unsuccess
ful. Their experience has been a
bitter one, and the awakening came
ton late to save many mortgaged
farms. But the farmer can yet re
trieve his fallen fortunes and we
believe he will.—Coiumbus En«
quirer-Sup,
Tareful estimates have been
made of the dogs in the United
States, and the number is said to
be not far from 20,000,000 or one
dog to every three or four persons
—an average of one dog to every
family in the land. The expense
of feeding and caring for this ca
nine population is estimated at
$200,000,000. "he average ex
petse of a poer family is not over
§4OO per year, so that the cost of
our dogs would support 500,000
fzmilies of the peorer sort, or 200,~
000 tamilies at a cost of $lOOO
each. These fi_ures are not exags
erated, and are a fine illustration
of cur wastefulness. This estimate
does wot include what a dog de
stroys in the way of sheep, ete.
Not one dog in thirty is of anyl
value, and votone in a hundred
pays for bis keeping. l
