The recent action of the hoard of
trustees in promoting Mr. A. L.

i is the subject of universal commeu-

spend thousands of dollars for the
material of which bagging is made,
in this way all of the cost will he the
gathering of the material and the
manufacture of it into bagging.
“It may sound like something ex
traordinary to you,” continued Mr.
Jewett, but all the same,I would like
to see it tried. The grass is strong,
and could stand the strain which
would be put upon it during the
spinning process. It is long, and
why it could not be used as well as
flax I cannot see.
“There are hundreds of argu
ments which could he used in favor
of this kind of bagging. In the
first place, its cost would be a factor
m its behalf. We could get the
machines and put them down into
the wiregrass regions, and it would
be an e*asy matter to get enough
bagging out inside of a few months
to pay for the machine. The farm
ers or the alliance could own these
machines, or, better yet, they could
establish factories where the wire-
ass could be brought in quantity
and spun into bagging.
“Then again, this kind of bagging
would not stain the cotton. That
a big thing in the long run and it is
going to count in the future. We
are way ahead of the times when
that word tare meant that the fac
tor could levy a heavy tax on the
producer. This saving of cotton
from staining means considerable,
and the farmer is bound to have it.
“There is no reason in the world
why some one of an inventive turn
could not get up a machine which
would spin the grass into bagging,
just as well as it is now made into
mats, hut even now its an easy
matter to arrange one of tiie ma
chines that spins some of t lie other
products so that it could be used in
this business.
“There is something in it, and I
believe the day will come around

Tlio Walton county Colored Alliance.
Savannah News, Sept. 5th.
The colored people ofWalton coun
ty held their county alliance meet
ing Saturday. Each sub-alliance
was represented, and resolutions
were adopted which, it carried out,
will cause a good deal of trouble
and conflict between the two alli
ances or, in other words, between
the land owners and the common
laborers. The resolutions adopted
are, in substance, about as follows:
They pledge themselves not to pick,
or allow any of their family, or any
person they can control, to pick a
lock of cotton for any person, or
under any circumstances, for less
than 75 cents per 100. Second, that
they will work for no person for
less than $1 per day in the winter
and $1.25 in the summer, and to
work only eight hours per day.
Third, that they recommend the
grand jury to find true bills against
every “colored person” who loafs
about town and send him to the
country to farming. They adopted
some kind of a resolution for punish
ing any negro who works for a less
price than that agreed on in the
resolutions

Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 9.—A
special to the Evening Wisconsin,
Irom Appleton, Wis., says: There
was a remarkable occurrence at the
mill of the Combined Locks Paper
company at Combined Locks, five
miles below Appleton, on Sunday.
From some unknown cause there
was an upheaval of the rock upon
which the mills are located, throw
ing the mill walls out of plumb,
cracking a wall of stone and cement
twenty feet thick and making a
saddle hack several hundred feet
long and six inches in the bed rock
beneath tiie mill. An artesian well
two hundred feet away on a bluff
has dried up. The damage to the
mill and machinery will probably
amount to several thousand dollars.
The upheaval is thought to have re
sulted from some hydraulic pres
sure between the seams of the rock
beneatii. A panic occurred among
the operatives at the time of the
shake up, hut nobody was hurt in
the stampede from the mill.

Hi Pit’s Heavy Tax Rule.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 9.—The county
commissioners of Bibb met to-day
and made the levy for the year
1889 at eighty-five of one per cent.
This is tiie highest rate Bibb lias
had for many years, and was caused
by the heavy cost of the Woolfolk
case and other extraordinary ex
penses. As the state rate is forty,
the combined state and county
rate for Bibb will he one and a
quarter. This is the highest rate
Bibb has known for a long while.
The average rate for many years
has been one per cent, The total
tax returns for the county are $14,-
128,7S6. A levY ot 8’j mills will
bring a total tax of $120,094.67,

Death of Hr. Tucker.
Atdanta, Sept. 9.—Dr. II. II.
Tucker, editor of the Christian In
dex, accidentally fell out of the win
dow of his residence Saturday
night and died from his injuries
this morning.
Tiie accident occurred late Satur
day night. The doctor had been
very restless, passing a wakeful
night, any about 2 o’clock left his
bed and sat in a window to get the
benefit of the air. It is supposed
he went to sleep in that position
and fell out. The room was on the
second floor, and the distance to
the ground is considerable. Mrs.
Tucker heard the fall and gave the
alarm. Dr. Cooper, son-in-law of
Dr. Tucker, who lives in the house,
upon examination found three ribs
and the collar bone broken and Dr.
Tucker in an unconscious condition,
in which he remained, except at
brief intervals up to the time of his
death this morning.
Condemned an Innocent Han.
Newnan, Septemer 10th.—The
superior court is in session. The
most famous case ever fried in this
county was that of the state against
W. P. Surles, charged with forgery 7 .
The ease was a clear one for the
defendant, but the jury found him
guilty. Public sentiment condemns
the action of tiie jury as an outrage
and excitement is high about the
matter, as there was scarcely any
proof to sustain the finding and the
great preponderance was on the
side of the detendant. The case
has attracted more attention in this
county than any 7 case in twenty
years, being the only case in which
the defendant was turned oyer to
the opposing counsel for cross-ex
amination.
There is a large criminal list and
the criminal docket will consume
the best part of two weeks and an
adjourned term is very 7 probable.

the sheriff to come after her to-day 7 .
Whether he will get her or not re
mains to be seen.
The woman, who was arrested
at her sister’s house, at the eastern
end of Broughton street, yesterday,
by Detective Basch, say 7 s that she
will not go, and the way she say 7 s it
shows that she means business.
The woman’s name is Genie
Brinson. She stood oft’ Sheriff
Hurst and Ills constables, and after
ward a posse, with a double-barrel
led shot-gun, threatening to kill
him if he attempted to arrest her,
while her brother escaped to the
woods.
Brinson’s sisterly defender is
a rather tall, slender woman, with
an abundance of red hair. She has
a quiet sort of a way 7 , but when she
says anything she says it as if she
does not mean to take it back the
next minute. She was not very
confiding about her brother “Bill.”
Sheriff Hurst attempted to arrest
him and his sister.
The sheriff, she said, came to her
brother’s house, ten miles from
Waynesboro, one night last week
with a couple of constables and
stayed outside of the house until
daylight. Early in the morning
the sheriff called Brinson and told
him to come out and surrender
himself. Brinson’s sister appeared
at the door with a double-barrel
shot-gun. Back of her was her
brother, “Bill” with a shotgun and
revolver, and he was flanked by
two other sisters and a niece, all
armed. The sheriff drew his re
volver, and Miss Brinson levelled
her shot-gun and told him that if
he shot, she would shoot. There was
a parley 7 of half an hour or so, finally 7
the sheriff retreated, according to
the woman’s story 7 .
A few hours later he came back
with a posse or ten of twelve men
to take the whole family. “Bill,”
in thejmeantime, had got into the
woods, armed with a shot-gun and
revolver. Two of his sisters sur
rendered to the sheriff. The third
stood her ground, and told him she
would never he taken alive. The
sheriff withdrew his posse, and
that night Miss Brinson left the
place and stayed with a neighbor.
The next day she went back to her
home, and the day 7 after that drove
to Lawtonville, where she took the
train for Savannah. Sheriff Hurst
heard of her here, and telegraphed
Detective Basch to arrest her.
She was found yesterday afternoon
in her sisters house, and was taken
to the barracks. She said last night
that she will not go back to Way
nesboro with Sheriff Hurst unless
she is carried bodily 7 .
Brinson is a horse thief, and has
led the officers all over the country 7

others fought with rails, clubs,

conceivable weapon for a consider

was seriously hurt. About a half
dozen of them were arrested for
riot, and one was tried before the
county court Saturday night, con
victed and a severe penalty impos
ed on him. The grand jury will
make a thorough investigation of
the matter, and it is thought that
no less than fifty true hills will he

Codumbus, Ixp., Sept. 11.—Theo
dore Tilson, a y 7 oung farmer of
Johnson county 7 , was plowing yes
terday 7 when he was attacked by a
monster black snake, which sprung
upon him and wound itself around
his neck. Tilson screamed in ter
ror, and a shepherd dog which was
following came to his master’s res
cue. With a great bound the dog
seized the snake by the tail and
swung around Tilson like a pendu

reptile was uncoiled. Then the
faithful animal caught the snake by
the neck and killed it. The young

Sweet Flowers.
The fairest buds are often the
first to wither, and the ravages of
disease make havoc with the beau
ty, as well as the • strength
and the happiness of the fair sex.
The prevalent disorders among
American women are those of a
most distressing description. These
“weaknesses,” as they 7 are sugges
tively termed, insidiously sap the
health, and the patient becomes
pale and emaciated, the appetite
grows fickle and feeble; she looses
strength as the attacks increase in
severity, and is in despair. There is
relief for all such sufferers in Dr.
Pierce’s world-famed Favorite Pre
scription, which cures all female
complaints. Its use is followed by
cessation of the dragging-down
pains, return of appetite, and in due
course, vigorous health.

A Macon Telegraph special from
Baxley 7 , dated Sept. 10th, says:
The usually quiet town of Baxley
was thrown into a flurry of excite
ment yesterday morning, by an oc
currence which lasted about one
minute, but was as sensational as it
was brief.
It is termed by 7 the Baxley 7 hoys,
“a forcible lecture on social equal
ity.”
As the north hound passenger
train, which arrives here at 1:45 a.
m., drew up to the depot, your cor
respondent who was approaching,
and in about fifty yards of it, notic
ed that there was hurrying to the
depot a number of persons, and
from as many different directions.
Old men and young men all
seemed bent on going to the train.
It was evident that they 7 were not
going away upon the train, as the
majority of them were in their shirt
sleeves and working garb, and it
was equally as plain that they were
going to that train to do something,
and without any talking either, for
nobody said anything, or seemed
inclined to say 7 anything.
Your correspondent hardly had
time to conjecture the cause of all
this excitement before the train
came to a stop, and the next mo
ment there was a general pell mell
rush for the doors of the first-class
car by the crowd.
Some skirmishing and a few blows
were heard on the inside, when out
came a negro dressed in a long dus
ter and a derby. As he cleared the
door some fellow dealt him a lick
that caused a hurried separation
between said duster and derby, and
he found himself on the floor of the
negroes’ car. Five more “brothers
in black” with dusters, high collars
and derbies were assisted in mak
ing a similar transition from the
first-class to the negroes’ car. By
this time the train moved away 7 ,
and the Baxleyites quietly return
ed to their business.
It seems that these negroes had
boarded the train at Jesup and in
spite of the remonstrance and kind
ly advice of the car porters, took a
seat in the ladies’ car among seve
ral white ladies. A few minutes
before the train reached Baxley 7
some one informed the operator
over the wire and the report soon
became current with the result
above stated.
The people of this section believe
in giving the colored people their
rights, hut they do not believe in
social equality and have a plain,
