A special dispatch to the Atlanta

first bale of new cotton was receiv
ed here to-day, from R.W. Jones, of
Raker county, as usual. It was con
signed to Wright, Davis & (Jo., of
this city, and was sold to A. 15.

Davis & C'o. set up the champagne,
which encouraged a lively bidding.”
Mr. Jones lias certainly .established
his claim to the championship of
the “first bale” man for the state of

it is to he supposed that lie carries
out its Latin signification in the
matter of the “first bale.”
The trustees of tho Shorter col

life of an exalted citizen was sacri
ficed under the shroud of fire, and
the record of which is made up be
tween the sounding of the night
alarm bell and the tolling of the
church knell to-day. Those who
heard the one for the short time
Sunday night, were not aware that
anything unusual had occurred in
the quiet, oppressive night, so still
everything seemed after the first
flurry was over; even those who
listen to the measured voice of the
other this morning can hardly re
alize that the flame of a few min
utes could have been so incisive in
its course—so remorseless in its
work of destruction.
About one o’clock Monday morn
ing, Mr. John R. Carter was resting
quietly in his room in the second
story of his residence, on Reynolds
street, lie had been troubled one
or two nights with mosquitoes, and
feeling tho annoying brush and
bite of the insect on his face at that
time, arose and made a light, lie
took from the mantle an ordinary
glass bowl kerosene lamp, protected
by an iron bottom, and moved to
ward the bed to make an examina
tion and clear the net of the vexa
tious post. Mr. Carter was a very
careful man. 11 is movements were
Resides the friends who were
summoned to the house by the fire
and after the accident, few in the
city knew of the tragic occurrence.
The shocked feelings of many who
learned of tho terrible accident
yesterday morning, were apparent,
and the expressions of sorrow were
most hearty and general. Mr. Car
ter was a man who had passed a
long, useful and irreproachable life
in this city. He was horn in Au
gusta in 1824, and was consequently
sixty years of age. His father was
James Mechell Carter, a well
known druggist, who did business
where Mr. J. II. Alexander now has
his store, and where Mr. Garter, at
tne time of his death, was engaged.
At thirteen Mr. Carter, the younger,
was employed as a clerk to Mr.
Titos. Barrett, who was engaged in
the drug business, afterward being
admitted as a partner in the store,
the firm being Barrett & Carter.
Of late years ho with his son had
been employed in the large drug
establishment of Mr. J. II. Alex
ander on Broad street, tho elder
Mr, Carter having kept the books
and aided in the management of
the concern, lie was a methodical,
painstaking, accurate man; versed
in every branch of the drug busi
ness; expert in all its details and
familiar with its entire manage
ment. He was a quiet, useful citi
zen, a man loved by his family and
t rlends and respected by everybody.

Captain John E. Bryant, the no
torious carpet-bagger who was late
ly appointed to the office of state
marshal in place of General Long-
street, removed by President Ar
thur for no other purpose than to
make a place for this vile, foul-
mouthed slanderer of the people of
the South in general, and the peo
ple of Georgia in particular, is ex
periencing trouble in making an
acceptable bond to assume bis of
fice. The bond is $20,000, and there
are few Republicans in the state
who are worth that amount of mon
ey, and those who are worth it seem
to have an idea that the captain’s
fingers will prove rather too sticky
to allow government funds to pass
through them with facility. Those
who know Bryant well, are of the
opinion that he will inaugurate a
reign of terror all over his district
very soon after he is clothed with
tho power of the marshal’s ollice,
and, therefore, any accident or com
bination of circumstance winch de
lays his entrance upon his office is
fortunate for the people who will
cotne under the bane of his power.
While the Republican party is
preparing to wave “Ibo bloody
shirt,” would it not be appropriate
for the wrongs which the Southern
people have suffer by the insti
gation ami influence of the scalawag
and carpet-bagger to be catalogued
and placed in the hands of the hon
est masses of tho North? Those
people have boon made to beliove
that the white people of tho South
were a race of bloodthirsty savages,
and that tho poor negro was us “the
lamb dumb before his shearers.”—

it lias become dangerous for them

in a system of very delicate and
responsible duties shows. Exactly
how he stumbled is not shown, but
in some way he lost his balance,
being in his bare feet, and fell
against the bed. The lamp was
knocked from his hand, striking
against the foot-board. The glass
chimney was crushed, the flame
communicated to the musquito net
and the person of Dr. Carter was
covered with blazing oil. It was
the terrible work of an instant.
Mrs. Carter jumped from Iter bed
and gave the alarm, and Mr. Jno.
B. (tarter, Jr., their son, who was
sleeping below, dashed up stairs in
an instant. Unfortunately the
doors were locked, and by the time
one of them could be opened Mr.
Carter was
WRAPPED IN A 811 BO UII OF FIRK.
He was found sitting in the cen
tre of tlte room, overcome by the
heat and flames, with the burning
oil making its incisive, corrosive
track over his body, and was al
ready cruelly, fatally burned —
Young Carter seized a blanket and
covered his father in its folds. It
was a stout young heart and strong
pair of arms that fought the unequal
tight and struggled for the life of a
parent. But as fast as the flames
were smothered in one place, they
broke out in another, and when
finally the fire had been extinguish
ed, the body from head to foot pre
sented a peeling surface, surcharg
ed with soreness and raw and
quivering to the touch. Through
this ordeal and fearful nerve shock,
Mr. Carter proved with fortitude
and heroism. He arose from the
floor no soon as the fire was out,
and walked down stairs to a bed
below, where he was the recipient
of immediate and skillful attention.
Hie fire alarm lmd brought num
bers of persons to the house; friends
and neighbors flocked to the relief,
and in a short time Drs. Hitt, Wil
cox and Wright were at the bed
side; then came Messrs, llankin-
son, Danforth and Durben, the as
sistants of Mr. Carter, and scores of
others—anxious to do something
for the sufferer. It was sometime
before the pain from tho wounds
were felt; then the agony became
acute and intense. Morphine and
other were administered without
perceptible effect; healing lotions
wore placed upon tho burned sur
face, and cooling ,draughts were
administered with only temporary
relief.
To a question from Mr. Ilankin-
son, Mr. Carter replied that lie fear
ed ho had swallowed the flame and
could not recover.
Mr. Ilankinson replied that there
was still hope, to which Mr. Carter
replied that it was hoping against
hope.
Rev. Mr. Adams, pastor of tho
First Presbyterian Church, of which
Mr. Carter was a member, was sent
for and remained with the dying
man and with his family until the
last. Mr. Carter survived until six
o’clock yesterday morning, when
death closed his sufferings. To the
very last his mind was clear and
his fortitude was great, although he
prayed repeatedly to bo released
from his agony. About five o'clock
he sat upon tho'side of his bod, and
feeling faint, was laid back on ids
pillow; after this lie steadily sunk,
and from this time lie never reviv
ed.
Mr. Carter leaves a wife and two
children, a son and daughter, llis

Clarksville Advertiser: Our far
mers are slowly awakening to the
fact that small grain is one of the
best paying crops that can be rais
ed. They are beginning to discov
er that this country is not only pre
eminently suited to wheat, oats,
rye, etc., but that they are a splen
did vitalizer of the soil, and that in
that respect alone the compensa
tion is handsome. A farmer in
Batesville district this year raised
175 bushels of wheat, which is more
wheat than was raised in the entire
district ten years ago. There lias
been at least 5,000 bushels raised in
said district this year. The increase
is very gratifying, and shows clear
ly what may he done. Some years
ago very little wheat was raised in
the mountains, and for no other
reason than that they, the farmers,
said it would not grow. They said
it without trying it, and consequent
ly land was tilled in corn every
year, and in a comparatively short
time the succession of the same
crop exhausted the soil. Wheat or
oats relieves and rceunerates the
land, which is absolutely necessary
to retain its productive qualities.—
Several of our most enterprising
farmers are giving clover their
special attention, and they say that
our soil and climate is especially
adapted to its culture.
A North (irurtrlu Fir ml.
Rome Courier: Our city was
shocked a few days ago by the news
of a horrible murder in Murray
county, Ga., whereby Mrs. Pettit*
wife of Pink Pettit, lost iter life at
the hands of iter husband. The
couple had not been living happily
for several years. Pettit left home
and went to North Alabama, where
ho remained till late Saturday,
when lie returned homo. He in
quired of his eldest daughter of the
whereabouts of her mother.—
Being informed that site was in the
kitchen, he at once approached her,
and demanded that she return the
deed for a tract of land that ho
gavo her when they were married.
She refused to do this. In an in
stant Pettit flew into a rage, and
drawing a largo pistol fired four
bullets Into her breast, and she fell
to tho floor a corpse. Tho cries for
assistance by tho young ladies
brought several gentlemen to the
scene, and when they attempted to
arrest the murderer, he turned on
them like a beast and made his es
cape. Several shots were fired at
him without effect. Pettit is about fi»
years of ago; the second finger of
the left hand is missing, and a large
reward will be offered for ills arrest.
morning a
announcing the death of Major
William II. Betts, at Alexandria,
Ya., on Saturday afternoon last.—
Betts is well remembered by all
the old citizens of Albany, and it
was here that the last of the six
men he is said to have slain was
shot down.
It will be remembered by many of
of our readers that some time during
last year we published a rather sen
sational story about Major Betts ap
pearing as witness in a New York
court, when, while upon the witness
stand, lie admitted that lie had slain
six men in his life, and gave the
name of each victim and the time
and place of each tragedy.
The man whom Betts killed in
this city was named Amerson, and
the occurrence is still fresh in
the memories of some of our citi
zens, although it dates back a good
many years. It was during the
dark days of reconstruction that
followed the late war. Betts was a
noted gambler, and came here soon
after the war and engaged in the
practice of his profession. Tho
whole country was badly demoral
ized at that time, and the sort of
“game” that Betts sought was plen
tiful in Albany. One night a thief
entered the store of Mr. Neumlor-
fer, wiio kept a confectionery be
tween the Rawson corner and the
Towns House, on Broad street. An
alarm of burglary was given, and
Neundorfer’s store was immedi
ately surrounded by several men.—
Presently the burglar emerged, and
making a bold dash, cut through
the crowd, and escaped, while sev
eral shots were fired at him. The
next morning the burglary was be
ing discussed by a knot of men who
had gathered in front of the Towns
House, and Betts quietly remarked
that if lie had been there he
would not have escaped so easily,
whereupon Amerson remarked
that, perhaps, he (Betts) was the
burglar himself. In less time than
it takes to tell it, Amerson had re
ceived two bullets in the region of
the heart from Butts’ revolver.—
Betts is said to have been a “dead
shot,” and the two balls which lie
fired into Amerson’s body entered
within an inch of each other.
So notorious had Betts character
become by this time, that a reward
of $1,000 was offered by Governor
Bullock for his arrest. In the sum
mer of 1870 lie made Ids appearance
boldly in Atlanta, consorting ex
clusively with men of his class. It
was ascertained one night that he
was in the room of Maud Dclesco, a
well known variety actress of that
day, which was situated in the
Mulenbrick building. A number of
police surrounded the house, while a
well known Atlanta detective en
tered and seemed his prisoner after
a desperate struggle, lie Was
brought to Albany, tried for killing
Amerson and acquitted.
About this time, as we learn from
a West Point correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle, Betts, who had
been a rampant Democrat, began
to weaken in his allegiance to that
party, and, like Colonel Jack
Brown, became alive to the fact
that there was bread and butter in
the republican party. "When ap
propriation was made in 1872 for
the overflowed people of Mississip
pi and Alabama, a congressional
election was approaching. It is no
torious that thousands of this over
flow bacon was sent to sections
which did not know what an over
flow was. Major Betts announced
himself as the Republican candi
date for the Opelika, Ala., district,
and had 20,0011 pounds of bacon sent
to that town to his order. Three
days before tho election Opelika
was filled with negroes from all
over the country, who lit bonfires in
tho open spaces, and fired fat meat
while waiting for tho chance
to vote for Major Betts. Tho scenes
of these three days are described by
tho natives us a pandemonium.—
The sequences were such that Betts
decided that he lind bettor go North,
where ho inis spent the last ten
years of his life.
in (lie night, at an early hour when
we think not—like a thunderbolt
from a clear sky, the call may come
to us. Lot the night lamp, there
fore, l>e trimmed and burning, and
the alum where ye can lay hold on
it nt any time. But above all, we
should make ourselves conversant
with those little parliamentary
rules which must govern the con
duct of the parent in his or her
social contact with the child. A
few suggestions upon what consti
tutes etiquette and shows good
breeding in this branch of society,
readily marking and contrasting
the cultivated parent and distin
guishing liiin or her from the vul
gar, the snide, the plebeian, the
canailles (ns we say in Franco), the
James Crow and the sans culottes
parent might not be ill-timed or in
opportune.
In wiping a child’s nose he ex
tremely careful to leave the nose.
Some parents use so much unneces
sary strength in doing this that they
find when it is too late that they
have wiped the nose of a pet child
into space. Nothing gives more
needless pain. Nothing can be
more pitiful than the child's first
look of sorrow and disappointment
when he starts to wipe his nose and
discovers that it is gone. Pause,
fond parent, while the wipe is in
its incipiency, and resolve that you
will spare its nose. It can be of
no use to you and the loss of it will
he a constant source of annoyance
to tho child.
Teach your child tho beauty of
frankness and open candor toward
all. Impress upon him the beauty
of being what you appear to be and
hate deception everywhere. If you
will fondle him and dote on him in
society and jerk him bald-headed
in the seclusion of the home circle,
he will readily understand what
you mean. Children soon learn
that if you hug their little gizzards
fiat while visitors are about, and
then, when the home life is again
resumed, you throw them down the
cellar and wear out a table leg on
their chubby limbs, that life is real,
life is earnest and the square-toed,
open, frank policy is not generally
in use.
Parents should impress upon their
children tho beauty of self-sacrifice
and self-abnegation, if they know
what that is; I don’t. If there
should ho but one piece of pie, give
it to “poor sick papa.” It may kill
him, and after the funeral your
young life: will be one prolonged
hallelujah and rose-tinted whoop-
’em up ’lizajane.
Parents should not be constantly
suspicious of their children. This
will evidently breed hypocrisy and
unreliability. If you fear that your
son is playing pin-pool, do not break
down your constitution and bring
on delirium tremens, hanging
around the pool-tables watching
all night for him. lie will look
upon you with distrust, and no
doubt at last tell you to go and soak
your head.
Do not constantly tell your boy
“how tall” ho is—that ho “grows
like a weed”—and finally make
him think he is a giraffe. If you
keep it up you will finally make a
round shouldered, awkward, bash
ful bean-pole out of a mighty good-
looking hoy. If every tall boy in
this country will agree to lick every
wooden-headed man who tells him
“how he does grow,” 1 will agree to
hold the coat of said tall hoy. I am
now dealing with a subject of which
l happen to ho informed. The same
rule applies to girls as well. If you
want to make your daughter fall
over the piano and yearn to climb
a tree whenever she sees anybody
conic toward the house, tell her
“what a great swalloping loin-hoy
she is getting to he.” In this way,
if parents act judiciously and in
concert, wo can soon luivo a nation
ot young men and women whoso
manners and carriage will be as
beautiful and as symmetrical ns the
plaster east of a sore too.

an ancient “easa,” whose crumbling
walls are usually mistaken for one
of tin* numerous fortifications left
in General Taylor’s wake. But this
ghastly place has a sadder history.
It was tho scene of a midnight
tragedy, the actors of which, if the
stories be true, still prowl about the
premises, though their bodies have
been dust for a hundred years. The
history, in brief, is this: A high-
spirited Spaniard lived there, who
inherited all the jealous^luspicion
and bad blood of his race. Ills
beautiful wife discarded another
lover to marry him, and the jilted
lover determined on revenge. lie
acted the part of “lago,” and caused
“Othello’s” ear to he filled with cun
ning tales of his own invention.—
Jealousy once roused in Southern
blood knows no bounds but death.
The infuriated husband carefully
devised his plans—feigned business
in Monterey, but caused fleet hor
ses to lie stationed every few
miles along the road. During the
silent watches of the night he re
turned, murdered lus wife in her
bed, and by dint of hard riding, ac-
complised the 1(30 miles before day
light. Being found in Monterey in
the morning, nobody suspected him
of tho crime, till long afterwards
discovering the plot and his wife’s
innocence, he plunged a dagger in
to the enemy’s heart and then into
his own. The orphan children
were taken to Saltillo, and cared
for by the church, and the descend
ants of the actors of this “o’er true
tale” to-day represent one of the
most prominent families in Coah-
ulla. The deserted casa still stands
as a monument to the poor “Desde-
mona,” and the venturesome who
have visited it assert that “a wo
man in white” may he seen flutter
ing around the moldy halls in the
moonlight.

Dr. Edward Barry.—Dear Sirs
Years ago, while living on the river
swamp plantation, I was afflicted
with very severe eases of ('hills and
Fever. I tried every remedy I
could think of to break the chills,
but I failed to do so. Tlie disease
finally got to sucli a state that largo
doses of quinine failed to give even
temporary relief. Seeing an ad
vertisement ot yours, in which you
proclaimed tlie merit of your“South-

mined to give your medicine a trial.
I bought one bottle, and after tak
ing the first dose I experienced im
mediate relief, I continued taking
tlie medicine until the bottle was
exhausted. Since taking tlie medi
cine I have not had a single case of
chill and fever up to the summer of
the present year. The present year
I rented a plantation which is
characterized by the people of tlie
county as the “headquarters of
malaria.” I wished to plant the
place in question on account of its
adaptation to rice. Mindful ofyour
valuable medicine T determined to
risk tlie place. Early in July I had
three cases of fever and ague. I
sent for a bottle of your medicine at
once, but otdy used half of it. Tlie
other half I gave to my servant,
who in like manner was afflicted.
Both myself and servant were com
pletely restored to health and have
had no recurrence of tlie disease. I
induced two of my neighbors who
were afflicted with fever and ague
to use your medicine, which result-
ed in their recovery,and like myself
they have had no recurrence of the
malady. 1 am still living on tho
aforesaid plantation, and am as
bouyant and vigorous as if I was
living in a most gonial clime. I
will not attempt to portray the
merits of your valuable medicine,
for I could not adequately do justice
to such a subject. 1 will simply say
it ranks first among medicines, and
certainly in malarial countries it
lms no equal. I cheerfully recom
mend your medicine to every fami
ly in tlie land. Wishing you every
success, 1 am gratefully yours,
J. D. TWIGGS.
