No president, ana, in deed, no man ever came to Mil- ledgevilie with higher indorsement than Major Lynes, and if the open ing is to be taken as an index of what follows, it is safe to say that the college under his tutleage will be carried to a position for good work that it has never seen before. The recent action of the hoard of trustees in promoting Mr. A. L. j Gumming to adjunct professorship i is the subject of universal commeu- | dation here.

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 '" ben wiregrass, that much despised productof the sand hills and the lower country, will he the means of helping the Georgia farmer along the road to prosperity.” ment for the last two years is worthy of notice and justly entitles him to the compliment conferred upon him by the trustees. 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 A Sulita.-mueiiii L'lihntral. Hi. Women Prise B. B.

J. ,m 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. A balloon bears Off a Hoy.

Sept. 8th—A very exciting and thrilling incident occurred here this evening. Prof. P. H. Redmond, an leronaut. was to make an ascension tills evening In a hot air balloon. Just as the large air ship sailed away skyward, a lad, aged 12 years, named Eddie Hill, become entangled in the ropes attached to the trapeze. His neck was caught in a half nooze and the boy could not extricate himself. He clung desperately to the ropes with both hands, and by w inding them around both arms managed to save himself from falling and from choking to death. The bal loon rose over 1,000 feet and drifted several miles away to the south east, finally coming down light as a feather and landing the lad with out a scratch.

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, which will he expended for the fol lowing purposes: General ex penses, $9,900.45; Rolf home, $7,280.- 29; roads, $10,499.58; bridges, $1,- GS9.19; paupers, $4,256.72; court house, $2,218.68; jail, $4,087.41; city court, $7,864.85; superior court, $10,- 000; coroner’s jury, $399; ordinary’s jury, $400; public schools, $35,000; debts maturing January, 1890, $27,- 000. 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. CA UTIOS TO MOTHERS.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 9.—Tom Butler’s horse, “Bullet,” trotted ten miles at the exposition track this aftrenoon in 38 minutes and 35 sec onds, under a $500 wager, by John O’Brien, that the animal could not go ten miles in 40 minutes. 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 a wild chase for the last six months. There is hardly 7 a sheriff in South ern Georgia Nvho is not looking for him and who is not wondering what he would do with him if he got him. til about three hundred were en gaged in it. It broke up the asso ciation, and the quiet negroes dis persed in every direction. The others fought with rails, clubs, kniyes, razors, pistols and every conceivable weapon for a consider able time, hut fortunately no one 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 returned. John smith ihi* World Over. St. Bouis Republic.

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 lum describing a circle until the reptile was uncoiled. Then the faithful animal caught the snake by the neck and killed it. The young man was badly frightened and would probably 7 have been killed had not the dog interfered. 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. Peter Jackson, the negro pugilist, was recently dined in London by Lord de Clifford and Sir John Ast- ley. The color line was wiped out and all got drunk. T. C. Orr of Davisboro, Washing ton county, on the Central rail road, writes to the Savannah News that the postmaster there has agreed to handle the night mail when it is put on. Davisboro, Mr. Orr writes, wants to he put down as wanting a night mail to Savannah. Davisboro is 122 miles from Savan nah. The agitation of a night pouch for Savannah, from stations be tween here and Macon, is meeting with a good deal of favor along the Central, and a strong effort will he made to get a better mail system in operation soon. A Thriving Town. The thriving little town of Cor- dele is gaining a reputation for en terprise outside of the state. The Baltimore San says: “Cordele, one of Georgia’s newest cities, situated in Dooly county 7 , is a place with a population of 3,000. A year and a half ago the site on which it is built was a cornfield. It is already as piring to have a street railway and electric lights.” Cordele is a long way ahead of Machen, Jasper coun ty 7 , which is sometimes called the Guthrie of Georgia. Mr. E. Slattery, of Delhi, La., says her son, 14 years of age, had a dreadful time with ulcers, sores and blotches which followed chicken pox. After using many remedies without benefit,she gave him Swift’s Specific, which cured him sound and well. We haye sold S. S. S. since the first day we commenced the drug business, and have heard some won derful reports of its effects. Many use it with best results to cleanse malaria from the system, and for blood poison, scrofula and such dis eases it is without a rival. C’ODDERWOOD & Co., Monroe, La. Mr. W. A. Tibbs is a printer in the office ot the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger. He says that three years ago he was a victim of bad blood, which deprived him of health and threatened serious con sequences. He further says that he took S. S. S., and it cured him. I have been subject to painful boils and carbuncles over my body during the spring season, and after much suffering and much useless doctoring I found a permanent cure in Swift’s Specific. It is the mon arch of blood medicines. E. J. Wilbis, Augusta, Ark.

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, blunt w 7 ay of expressing their senti ments on this question. The rule of three—One too many. r Wie stepping-stones to success are “rocks.” It is the bearded lady whose face is her fortune. An I-glass—The mirror. I—In the mirror. No wonder time is so often killed; it is struck every hour. First in war and first in peace— The letters “w” and “p.” The good die young. This is par ticularly true of chickens. “Not in our set” as the false tooth remarked to the old grinder. A man experiences that “sinking feeling” when he falls overboard. Two heads are better than one— On the shoulders of a museum freak. A real lile-saving station is al ways managed by sailors, and not by doctors. There is no reason in the w 7 orId why a “baby 7 show” shouldn’t be a howling success. This is the turning period in life of the farmer’s boy if there is a grind stone on the place. Here lies a man who laughed at death, For many years lie moeked her; Some say he ilieo for lack of breath And some accuse tiie doctor. When a washerwoman changes her place of residence one may ask her “where she hangs out now” without using the slaug. Editor—I want you to take charge of the “Queries”column. New man (modestly 7 !—I fear I cannot answer the questions our readers would ask. “O, yes, you can. Most of the questions are from college grad uates, and they 7 are easy.” “What a pity 7 you don’t have look ing-glasses all along the walls— then one can see one’s self as one went round, you know.” “Why, miss, if y 7 ou were to see yourself in a looking glass just now you’d never git on a ’orse again.” It is true that charity is not so popular a virtue as it might be, for, though it covers a multitude of sins, in summer it is too warm for a wrap of any kind, and in winter you can get more solid comfort out of an overcoat. “Are you going to the game to day, Browne?” asked a traveling man of a friend. “No; there’s no reason why I should.” “Why not?” “I’ve got a bawl match at home. Twins 5 months old and an even score up to the present time.” There was a death in the house. A neighboring undertaker calling to offer his services was told that another had already been engaged. “Pardon,” said the disappointed man, bowing himself out, “I hope I shall he happier another time.” PEOPLE EVER YWHERE Confirm our statement when we say that Acker’s English Remedy 7 is in every 7 way superior to any and all other preparations for the throat and lungs.

Father Geley 7 Drochua, a priest of Notre Dame church, brought in a verdict this morning, in the superior civil court, giving damages for the plaintiff of $1,500 with interest, or a total of $1,720. Dr. Morasse was a parishioner of Father Drochua. He was divorced from his first wife and was married to his second wife by a justice ot the peace. For this he was de nounced from the pulpit by Father Drochua, which caused Dr. Morasse to bring the above suit. “Well,” sighed the Fat Commuter as the doctor ordered the nurse to refuse him all strong liquors, “I know now how a ship feels when it’s put in a dry dock for repairs. How it must long to have it sails wetted and be three sheets in the wind.” He had declared his passion, and u r as feverishly awaiting her reply. “Mr. Sampson,” she said, and her voice sounded like a knell, “the let ter which you so kindly offered to post for me two weeks ago to-night has never reached it’s destination.

Washington, Sept. 10.—Cadet Charles Young, a grduate of mili tary academy, has been appointed to an additional second lieutenancy 7 in the Tenth cayalry. This is the colored cadet who failed last June in mathematics, and was given anoth er chance during the summer to make good his deficiency. An Atlanta Constitution special from Savannah, dated September 9, says: The lunatic, Hope Brannen, who was shot by Sheriff Mills at his home in Screven county, is in a fair way to recover.

(An hour later she was taking her first lesson in the kitchen, wrestling with peas, cab bages, and asparagus for the mid day meal.) “Can’t I take your name, for this new encyclopedia dictionary?” asked the book agent. “It is an encyclopedia and dictionary all in one?” “No, sir,” said the man ad dressed; “I haye no 'use for it whatever. You see, I married a Boston girl.” No mortal yet has e’er forecast Tiie moment that shall be his last, but Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets have forever settled the question of a comfortable existance until that moment does arrive, and put to flight the melancholy forebodings of sufferers from biliousness, head ache, indigestion, constipation and kindred ailments. “You look tired oat,” said his friend, anxiously. “Yes,” answered the young physician, “you know, I’ve been writing medical certifi cates for guests at a Rhode Island hotel—a thousand guests and some times three or four thousand “sick” wine permits a day—couldn’t use a stamp, either.
