the collapsed artesian well.
The following lines were perpetrated by one
of our city poets, and refers to the signal failure
of our first attempt to get artesian water:
The town spake out for an Artesian well,
Whether up town or down town, nobody could
tell;
They fixed it a. last, like the Low) on a fiddle,
And planted the hole somewhertj near the mid
dle.
With engine and pump, and t,ai frle and all,
Clay started the steam, and “o ened the hall.'

There were mayors and laWyers, big, little and

When Johnson and Ashton took hold of the
thing,
Then Briuson and Perry pronounced it “a ring;"

But Berrien objected and read a page from "the

That ’twas unconstitutional to Invade their

And told them a joke of an unpleasant "Agger,’’
A Chinaman cui, who was taken for a “nigger."
Clay took all the Ideas, and mix’d ’em, and swore,

And, at last, when ho’d reached the Pliocene

To jerk out the pipe by electrical balls,

The “well man” Was sick the very next day,
(Which Is quite paradoxical, it seems by the
way);
But the doctors all tell us he now frankly owns
He’ll never recover from the “suggestion of

That excuse will not do, with *unds up a spout,

For we all know the truth of the business to-day.
Clay got stuck with the pipes, and they got stuck

But the old adage comes our comfort to swell,
All’s well that ends in an Artesian well.

S N s%<i SERIOUS DlfjJUCTfLTY.
A serious difficulty is reported to
have occurred in the neighborhood of
Hephzibah. Richmond county, on the
10th inst., between Mr. Rufus Dye and
his broihers-in-iaw, the .Messrs. Trow
bridge The facts as nigh as we have
been able to ga<her them are about as
follows ; A disavreemet occurred be
tween Dye and one of the Trowbrdges
i n Sunday niorni g, the 3d inst,, at the
house of the former, and Dve ordered
Trowbridge to leave, which he did. ma
kinj; 'hreats. On the next Sunday
the Trowbridges entered Dye’s house
and renewed the difficulty, when Dye
seized his gun, a seven-shi o’er rifle,
and snapped twice at the Trowbridges
who were advancing upon him,but Dye's
mother in -1 aw had soak# l i he gun in
waier the ni ht befor”, and it failed to
tire. I he gun was wrested from Dye,
and he ran out of the house, but was
overtaken in the yard and his skull
so badly crushed with an ax that the
palpi atinns of the brain could be seen
He was left for dead lying in the yard,
and the Trowbridges proceeded to pro
cure wagon and remove their sister and
the liou ehold goods from Dye’s house.
At last accounts Dye’s ife was dispaiftd
of. No arrests have been made, so far
as we have heard.
COMPLIMKNTA R Y.
THE CHINESE QUESTION IN GEORGIA.
_______
By telegraph to tbe New York Herald.
Wavnki-boro, March 14.—Great
excitement exists here over the present
aspect of the Chinese question. Seven
r eight, months since two citizens of
the Teles.ia! Empire, Tom Loo ( hong
and Ah Sing, made their appearance in
our midst. They announced their in
iention of opening business in fans, no
tions and other trifles. Securing a
stand they were soon in business.—
Strangely enough, much opposition to
the n manifested itself among the mer
chants as well as tbe tradespeople of
this section. The Chpiepe were really
in nobody 's wav ; them business was al
together insignificant, ^nd the chances
were that if left alone They wou'd soon
tire of their location.
4)ne night, not long atfter the estab
lishtnent <f these heaihenp in their bus
inesfi, their store wag suiyoundcd by a
large and angry ero&d of masked men.
who ordered them to leave. This Loo
Oho’ g was reluctant to do, but a few
well directed blows covinced him that,
departure was tne best policy. The
two took up their march on the public
road toward Augusta, followed a good
part, of the way by a delegation of the
mob. who went along to see them well
on their way. Meanwhile, those who
remained behind at the store, gutted it
and scattered everything in the streets.
This sudden breaking out of anti-Chi
nese spirit in such an unexpected quar
ter caused much excitemeui through ut
the State In Atlanta, Augus'a, Sa
vannah and Macon a number of China
men arc in business petuliar to their
race, and in each place they were treat
ed kindly, and were looked on with
more of a feeling of curiosity than aver
sinn. Burke county, in which W’avnes
boro is situated, : s in the heart
of the black belt, having three
negroes to one whi e man. and conse
quently it was supposed that the antag
on ism of these two races didn’t leav-
rooui for such a• ■ exhibition toward a
bird. Yet when the Chinaman made
his appearance, Caupassian and Hotten
tot joined in battle agains him. and it
is hard to say which £ate was moBt anx
ious to expel the alleged intruders
Arriving in Augusta the complaints
of Loo ( hong and Ah>dng created qu te
a flutter among the re idem ' hinese.—
They put themselves at once in commn
nicatinn with the ( hinese \ inis er at
Washington, who in 'urn called he at
iention of the government to the mat. er,
the result of which was an inquiry bv
the District Attorney and reference of
the matter to the g and jury of the Cir
cuit-Court., which meets in Savannah —
I his ac ton made the angry hinamen
inbre angry s ill. Loo ( hong cauie
back a couple i f weeks since and re
opened business. I bo conserva’ive
ci izens now see that a grave etror was
committed and are doinc all in their
power to calm the minds of the people
who are anxious to expel the ( hiu.imen
a^seoond tune Last week fuel was
added to the tire by the commencement
of sni s against eighteen of our most
prominent citizens, charging them w : th
damages to 'he amount of $115,000 —
Loo ( hong & Co., as a firm, claim
850,000. Tom Loo Chong, 840.000
and Ah Sing $25, 00 I he suits are
brought in the lluited States Circuit
Court in Savannah with Messrs Ganahl
and Wright, of Augusta as prosecuting
attorneys, and, i. is said, by distinguish
ed attorneys in Washington t harles on
and Savannah. The damages claimed
are probably the targes on record in
this Staio, and .ire so excessive that it
will certainly lessen the chances of the
Chinese of recovering anything
It is understood hai the Chinese
Minister has person lly en a ed the
services of these lawyers, and that >t is
A FORTUNE TO A WORTHY INHERITOR.
The report that Mr. George W. Sanp,
formerly of this county, now of Whit
field county, and at present general
traveling agent for the Atlanta Cost
Appeal, and his sister had fallen heir to a
quarter million of dollars, which obtained
currenoy through the Post Appeal a few
days ago, is fully confirmed. Mr Sapp,
is a high-toned, generous-hearted gen
tleman who will use his good fortune to
the benefit of his friends as well as him
self the needy never called upon him
in vain Good fortune could not have
fallen to a more worthy heir, and we re
joice with him at his good luck The
Post-Appeal, speaking of the matter,
says : “After the long lapse of nearly
two decades information of the most
important and roman ;ic character has
come in a curiously accidental and hap-
hazzard way to Mr. George Sapp. The
publication ot his name as the agent of
the Post Appeal was the means of his
discovery. Mr. W. W. Thibaudeuu.
nephew of the bookeeper of the W &
R. R., who had knowledge of the
death of Dick Sapp, saw the name and
sent word to Mr. Geo. Sapp by Mr. Geo.
Norris, formerly news dealer on the
State road, that he wished to see him.
An interview was had, and upon satisfy
ing himself that the living and the de
ceased were brothers Mr. Thibaudeau
stated that R. H. Sapp died seventeen
years ago in Helena, Montana Terri
tory, at bis aunt’s house, leaving some
*150,000 of valuable mining and farm
prjperty. and stocks and bonds, and
wi led his estate to his brother and sis
ter The father of Mr. Thibaudeau wit
nessed the wi 1, is living and knows 'be
property The property is controlled
by a lawyer now in Ohio, who has been
uuable to find the brother and sister.

The above compliment ^from the

Such kind words of cheer and high ap
