Felton:
Xi.ai: Carteuhvillk, Ga.J
May 111, lHHti. s i
Ma.i. .1- If- Hanson: My Dear\
X/,.—Your letter to hand. 1 read
M;»j. bacon’s speech before the Au-
o-ustn people with much interest,
"nid I will say to you very frankly,
between tin; two candidates now in
tlie field, my preference is strongly
for Bacon. Ilis political and oifi-
record is infinitely preferable
to that of Gen. Gordon, and the
State of Georgia should see to it that
no man should be elected to that
important position whose record is
not in harmony with her interests
in the Railroad Commission, the
convict lease, and the disposal of
the state road. We must not have
a governor who will construct the
personnel of the Railroad Commis
sion so that their decisions will for
ever he in favor of the railroads and
against the people. We must not
have a governor who, when the
Western and Atlantic railroad is
released, will accept $25,000 per
month when $38,500 is bid. We
must not have a governor whose
individual and personal interests
are solely connected with railroads.
Kxperionce has taught us that such
men will relinquish any trust, no
matter how high, when personal pe
cuniary benefit is expected as a re
sult. We must not have a governor
whose political antecedents and as
sociations would authorize the be
lief that he would be a willing tool
in the hands of other men, provided
there was pecuniary profit to him
self. We must not have a governor
upon whose record there is the
slightest taint of convict lease ini
quities; and we must have a gover
nor who will use his best energies
to turn into the strong box of the
state the revenue rightfully belong
ing to her, rather than into the
pockets of individuals. Above all,
we must have a governor in sym
pathy with the honest laboring
masses of the state, who will exe
cute the laws impartially without
regard to wealth on one side or pov
erty on the other, to please the one
or to oppress the other. We have
reached that point in Georgia poli
tics when there need be no platform
except honesty, for the demand of
the hour is honest men at the helm.
1 agree with you that it is every
man’s duty to lay aside all minor
differences, to protect the state and
the taxpayers’ money from wreck
ami waste; and, although I fully in
tended to remain quietly at home,
without participating in political
excitement, this year, there are fea
tures in the present gubernatorial
canvass that should call every man
to his post of duty. It is fair to say
to you that while Maj. Bacon is my
choice in case the race is confined
to the two prominent candidates, I
should feel at perfect liberty to vote
for any candidate whose views
might, in my opinion, more fully ac
cord with what I believe to be the
best interests of Georgia.
Yours, very respectfully,
W. H. Felton.

Chicago special : A phenomenon
occurred during the storm of Satur
day night in the vicinity of the
board of Trade tower light. It was
none other than a shower of birds.
Yesterday when the watchman
made his rounds lie found the side
walk and streets fairly covered with
dead birds of all sorts. A little la
ter the electrician came down, and
when lie saw the great pile of birds
lie said it w$s the electric light at
the top of the tower. When lie
went up to the lantern with some
members of tho Board of Trade the
roof was found covered with dead
birds, and each of the lamps in the
big circle of light was filled with
them, one globo haying eight birds
in it. These birds are of every
known variety, and many un
known, or rather unfamiliar, spe
cies are among the lot, All shades
and colors are there—scarlet, blue,
pink, red, canary, mottled, black
and white, and there wore some
snipe and plovers among them. The
theory is that thoy were migratory
Hocks going trom South to North
and were attracted by tho great
light, which the moment they touch
ed killed them. The birds are all of
the small species. There was a
countless number of them, enough
to trim nil tho ladies’ hats in Illi
nois. Many Bohemians were in tho
streets with bags and blankets, and
in less than two hours tho streets
were cleared of every vestige of the
bird shower, hut tho roof of the
board of Trade Is now covered, and
tbe Janitors will remove them to
day.
Greensboro Herald.
Frazer French and his family live
on the Old Mines farm, in the town
of Bradford, this county. In the
farm yard is a deep well with a low
curb, the water being drawn up by
an old-fashioned sweep. On Satur
day all the family were absent from
home except Mrs. French and her
little two-year old son. Farmer
French came home at noon. There
was no one in the house. On the
table was a slate on which was has
tily scrawled : “Baby and L are in
the well.”
French ran to the well, and, peer
ing down, beheld His wife in the wa
ter clinging to the wall, but appa
rently dead. Alva Morris, a neigh
bor, was passing at the time, and
responding to the farmer’s cries for
hell), let himself down into the well,
fastened a rope around Mrs. French,
and she was drawn to the top, alive
but unconscious. As she revived
she asked for her child, whose body
was found at tho bottom of tho
well.
“At 10 o’clock this forenoon,” said
Mrs. French, “I went to the well af
ter a pail of water, taking baby
along. I saw that a board on tho
curb was loose, and running back to
tHe house to get a hammer and
nails to fasten it, thoughtlessly left
the child by the well. When I re
turned tho baby was gone. 1 look
ed in the well and saw him strug
gling in tlie water. Thinking that
some one might be in tlie house
soon, I rushed back and wrote on
the slate that we were in the well,
so that we could haye help as soon
as possible. I then hurried hack and
let myself down to the water by tho
niches in the wall. I succeeded in
getting the baby out of tho water
with one hand, while I held myself
above water with the other. I then
placed one foot in the niche on one
side of tlie well, and tlie other foot
on tlie opposite side, and braced
myself so that I could keep above
water, which reached higher than
my waist.
“The baby was alive, and, having
the use of both my hands and arms.
I soon brought him to. I called con
stantly for help, and botli myself
and tlie child were terribly chilled
by the water. Feeling that we must
both die from exhaustion and cold
unless I could reach tho top in some
way. I began to work myself up,
using one hand and my feet. Little
by little I crept upward, and in
half an hour I was almost in reach
ing distance of the top. How my
strength ever held out I don’t know.
I stopped to rest and thought of
tossing the baby up over the curb.
If I had strength in my arms I
know T could have done so, but they
were too tired and weak. After
resting a while I was feeling around
for a place to put my foot on a little
higher to draw myself up," when I.
lost my footing entirely and we fell
back into tlie water.
“Tlie baby was knocked out of my
arms, and when I came to tlie sur
face of the water I could not find
him. I remember grabbing about
among the niches in tlie well, and
that was all until I came to after
being rescued. I must have clung
unconsciously to tlie wall for moro
than an hour.

Tiiomaston, May 13.—From a re
liable source I have tHo following
particulars of tHo murder of Bud
Johnson by Jim Cartwright, which
occurred on tlie evening of the 11th
lust., in the eastern part of Morri-
wether county, about one mile trom
Hall’s bridge, on Flint river. It
seems that William, alias Bud John
son, and Jim Cartwright, both
white, are small farmers, and live
within a quarter of a mile of each
other, and, as far as is known, have
been good friends. Monday even
ing bud Johnson went to his house
from his field to get some water.
While there he sat down to rest,
and took his little child in his arms,
his wife also being in tlie yard.
While forbidding tho child, Jim
Cartwright came up to tlie gate and
said: "Bud, you seem to be resting
well.” Bud replied: “No, I have
been at work and am tired.” Cart-
right then said: “Bud, come hero;
1 want to seo you.” Johnson got up
with his child in ids arms and start
ed to Cartwright, and when ho got
near him,Cartwright drew his pistol
and shot Him twice—onco In tho
head and once through the heart.
Johnson fell, and as lie was falling
his wife ran up and caught the
child. Johnson expired at once.
Cartwright then said: “Ml'S.Johnson |
I have killed tho best friend I ever
had, but God told me to do it.” Cart-1
I ville, lias written a book entitled
“From Under a Cloud,” the inanu
script of which she has just placed
in the hands of publishers. The
volume records tlie observations of
the seven years’ life of a patient,
Mrs. Agnew herself, in an asylum
for the insane, a patient who was
supposed to be hopelessly insane,
but who unexpectedly recovered,
and with her recovery developed a
wonderful memory for details. Mrs.
Agnew says insanity came on her
like a flash of lightning, and tlie
chief feature of it was a desire to
take her own life. This was in her
younger davs. She married and
settled in Cincinnati. “After the
hirtli of my third child, in the
spring of INTO,” she adds, “I was at
tacked with nervous prostration
and awakened one morning insane.
I knew it. For three years I was at
home insane; the ruling passion all
this time was to take iny own life.
I used to have about my kitchen a
shoe knife which was very sharp.
That knife haunted me. 1 would
hide it and an hour afterward an
impulse I could not govern would
lead me to it. The fear became so
terrible that at last I threw it in a
well one day and then I was unable
to get it again. I tried other plans
to rid myself of life, but they failed.
Tlie next step, in tlie disease was
tho desire to take tlie life of my
children. I watched for opportuni
ties, and my great hope was to be
able to kill them and then myself.
I feared I had cursed them with in
sanity, and the best I could do
would be to take them out of exis
tence. I gave tlie youngest poison
one day, and then with the vaccina
tion of insanity, I told my husband
what I had done. The proper rem
edies were applied, and the child's
life was saved. But I was sent to
the asylum for tlie insane at Indian
apolis. This was in 187!), and I was
there for nearly seven years.
“My case was considered hope
less. The superintendents were in
variably kind, but the doings In tlie
wards were secrets sealed from
them. I secured the ill will of the
assistant superintendent, and he
made my life a perfect hell. He
placed me in an epileptic ward, and
when I was taken out of that Ward
at the end of a year, I had on tlie
same calico dress. The sleeves were
worn away, tlie shoulder blades had
worn through and it hung in tat
ters. The peculiarity of my disease
was that I could not find words in
which to express myself. I could
think, but tho only talking I could
do was to swear in a horrible man
ner. An impulse would seize me,
and I had to do something. I would
pick up a chair and break it to
pieces. I would run my hands
through pains of glass. When that
assistant superintendent died I ex
pressed my joy by cutting of my
hair. O, but lie was hated. I heard
one night when the windows were
raised away over in another part of
the building, a woman swearing and
shouting with joy because he was
dead. But tlie ward attendants
were tlie worst. They were mostly
inexperienced young girls. They
would heap all kinds of indignities
upon the patients. There was one
lady there from tlie South who
thought she was tlie wife of Presi
dent Hayes. I have seen tlie at
tendants drag her by the hair to
the bath room and make her wash
their stockings, telling her that the
State of Indiana paid them for
making her do such tilings. 1 have
often been dragged by the hair to
tlie dining room.”
relation to tlie liability of the gov
ernment for French spoliation
claims in which the chief justice
and all judges concur. After de
ciding that tlie statute giving tlie
court jurisdiction required an ex
amination of tlie validity ot the
claims as against France and the
assumption of responsibility for
them by tlie United States in tlie
treaty of 1800, the opinion sets fortli
the obligations assumed by tlie two
governments in tlie treaties of 1778,.
by which Franco pledged herself to
secure our independence, and we
undertook to guarantee her Ameri
can possessions and to give her oth
er special privileges. Following the
history of the two nations, after our
peace with Great Britain, it shows
illegal attacks upon American com
merce by the French revolutionary
government, and our failure to
abide by our promise to France
made in 1778, and then concludes
that by tlie treaty of 1800 as shown
by that instrument itself, and nego
tiations which led to it, the spolia
tion claims were surrendered in
consideration that tlie United States
be released trom any obligations
under the treaties of 1778, and the
court after discussing the law, is of
the opinion that tlie claims are
valid obligations against this coun
try, which sacrificed the rights of
its individual citizens to secure a
great national advantage. Consid
erable space is given to the exami
nation of the relations of the two
countries between 1770 and 1880,
which it was said by tho govern
ment counsel amounted to a state
of war, so that any claims Tor seiz
ures then made would be invalid.
The court holds that while tho re
lations were strained almost to the
point of war, there was no solemn
war which made every citizen of
one country an enemy of every cit
izen ot the other, annulled treaties
and legitmatized seizures. They
also hold that tlie treaties of 1803
and 1831 with France, and the treaty
of 1810 with Spain, do not apply to
the spoliation claims, and therefore
tiie claimants should recover.
Ft>il oil lloi; Meat.
Volcano, W. Va., May 1G.—Geo.
Baum, a farmer living with his wife
and family a few miles from this
place, narrowly escaped being
lynched last night by a mob of in
dignant neighbors. The cause was
the outrageous treatment of his
wife and the feeding of her and tlie
children on dog flesh. Mrs. Baum
is ill with consumption, and her
physician prescribed cod liver oil.
Her husband thereupon killed a
dog, rendered some of its fat and
placed it in a bottle, and took tliat
and tbe dressed meat home. His
wife took the grease and soon be
came very ill. The dog meat Baum
represented to be mutton and made
the children eat it. As a result tlie
children were also taken sick.
Yesterday some of the neighbors
whose suspicions had been excited
followed Baum to the woods and
saw him kill and dress another dog.
They at once captured him. They
were on the point of hanging him
when wiser counsels prevailed and
he was placed in jail. Ilis wife and
children are here verv ill.

Smith, of Barlow, was tried in tlie
Superior Court here last week for
larceny after trust, tlie prosecutors
being 1’. Zell A- Co., of Baltimore. It
seems that Smith in the early part
of tlio year of his failure in business
at the above named place, bought a
large amount of iertilizers from
Zell A Co. In return for which ho
turned over certain notes to them.
Afterwards Zell A Co. sent tho notes
to Smith for collection. Most of the
notes were collected, Hut no return
was made to Zell A Co. Smith
claimed that lie failed u short time
after making the collections, and as
tlie particular amount hadn't been
kept separate from his other assets,
tliat it unavoidably went to the pay
ment of other creditors. He claim
ed tliat lie had done no wrong, in
asmuch as there was no criminal
intent. Tho trial consumed two
days and a verdict for Smith was
rendered.
Tlie court lias adjourned until tlie
first Monday in July.

St. Louis, May 15.—Olive Brandi
Congregational church is not an
aristocratic house of worship, but
its pastor, the Rev. Ira H. Hicks, is
a man who stands very high as a
minister, and he is especially noted
as a close student. Mr. Hicks conies
to tlie front Just now as having, in
a series of sermons, told His congre
gation all about tlie recent groat
storms early in January last. He
presented a chart setting forth in a
simple manner tliat disasters were
coming. The chart is bused upon
the theory of planetary equinoxes,
and the dates of the equinoxes are
indicated by figures, the periods of
greatest disturbance by largo fig
ures, tlie periods of weakest by
small. Outlie chart the equinoxes
of all tlie planets are placed in reg
ular order, so that at a glance one
can sec not only when an equinox
occurs, but when two occur in con
junction. The large figure 12 for
tlie month of May appeared on tlie
chart, and some time ago Mr. Hicks
called at tho signal office, and, put
ting his finger on tin; date May 12,
told Sergeant Weber to mark tliat
date and watch tho effects of the
equinox, which he said would cover
a period of two days before, and
three days after tlie equinox. That
Mr. Hicks’s warning was justified
the fearful record extending from
tHa 10th to the loth of May shows.
Last Wednesday, after the Kan
sas City tornado, Mr. Hicks wrote
another prediction saying that there
would be a “Twenty-four hour cycle
for three or four days, in which
storms would repeat themselves.”
If the accounts of the terrific storms
since Wednesday up to last night,
have not verified the prophecy, Mr.
Hicks says there is no value in any
kind of records. In regard to the
rest of the months, the storm chart
presents tho minor cycle of Vulcan
asoccuring on tlie 24th and the ma
jor cycle of Mercury on the 21st.
These two equinoxes happening to
gether Mr. Hicks says that about
those dates there will be another
series of disturbances of marked
energy.
The three sermons of Mr. Hicks,
elaborating his theory, were deliv
ered at this church some weeks
ago. At tlie conclusion of the ser
mons on April 19th, resolutions
were adopted by tlie congregation
thanking tlie lecturer for his dis
courses, and acknowledging tlie re
markable confirmation of his the
ory, in the disturbance which the
resolutions declared had been “fore
told by him several weeks ago.”
The resolutions closed with a re
quest to all to secure these charts
and watch the predictions. They
were then signed by the board of
trustees and formally presented to
Mr. Hicks. Mr. Hicks said to
day:
‘Of course I feel gratified tliat tlie
storm chart lias been verified, but I
dislike to be misconstrued. I am
not doing this for money. 1 don’t
care about this tiling at all, except
that I want tlie public to get advan
tage of this great truth, which will
be of such benefit to mankind. It
is nothing abstruse or technical. As
printed on tlie chart, it can be un
derstood almost at a glance, and let
me say tliat if it were understood
there would lie fewer of these great
disasters to human life. I tell you
that if tlie school teachers in Kan
sas City had known what I did the
day of the cyclone, and had not dis
missed the school when they saw
the clouds gathering, they would
deserve to be tried for tlie lives lost.
If tlie public will only study this
chart, I will look for wonderful ben
efit to tlie race.
INotic*o.
Elizabeth, N. J., May 15.—A
jury before Judge Van Syckel yes
terday, after four hours’ delibera
tion, brought in a verdict of $10,000
for Mary Ann Htone, who sued tlie
administrators of Stephen A. Tood’s
estate for $20,000 for thirty years’
service.
Tlie facts brought out make an
interesting story. Mr. Tood, who
was a queer old bachelor, did not
associate with any of bis friends
and relatives and only tolerated
the presence of Miss Stone, His
housekeeper, who lived witli him
for thirty years, made all bis cloth
ing, did his housekeeping, and at
tended to tlie farm and cattle. She
never received any compensation,
for Tood bad promised her that
when he died he would leave her
$20,000. Tood died without leaving
a will, and his relatives claimed His
estate, which amounted to $20,000
of personal property and $35,000 in
real estate.
Miss Stone, however, put in her
claim for $20,000 for services ren
dered. The heir-at-law tried to
compromise the matter by allowing
her $300 per annum as long as she
lived, together with a small cottage
on a farm. Miss Stone would not
agree to this, and demanded the old
homestead, which tho heirs would
not surrender, but offered her a
home in it. She declined, and in
stituted the suit for tho whole
amount of her claims. It was prov
on at the trial that Miss Stone han
dled all tlie money raised on tlie
butter and eggs on tlie farm, and
that she had no money when she
became Tood’s housekeeper, but
she had now $400. The verdict was
a surprise to defendant, who will
appeal the case.

Waite Held that all claims upon

the assignee and the agent of the
creditors, and entitled to dividend

Mr. J. D. McNeal, a capitalist of
Cincinnati and member of the syn
dicate owning the famous Sales
gold mine in Wilkes county, togeth
er with two mining experts from
Dahlonega, Ga., was in Warrenton
on Monday. These gentlemen are
working a rich gold vein on the
place of Mr. Walker Taylor in
north Warren and the object of
their presence in our midst was to
purchase an adjoining truct of land
owned by Mr. B. F. Buford, of Nor
wood, through which the vein lias
been discovered to run. Tho pur-
chase was effected, tlie price paid,
we learn, being $1,500 for 150 acres.
The gold deposit in this portion of
Warren is tliought to bo very rich,
and we are glad to know tliat tlie
indications for its speedy and suc
cessful development have at last as
sumed favorable shape. Mr. John
Gallaher owns a mine in the same
section, which experts say will as
say $10,000 per ton.
Philadelphia Record: Gen. Gor
don some years ago made a very
abrupt and dramatic exit from an
important office with which tho
people of Georgia had honored him
in order to look after his personal
Interests. Before they mako him
governor they should ask some
guarantee that lie will stick his
term out. The man who accepts a
public trust is not Justified in aban
doning it to enter upon a successful
speculation. We have too many
speculating statosmen.
