Capt. J. Drake, of Marl
borough county, South Carolina,
claims to have gathered 254 bushels
of corn from one acre of land this
rear. Several years ago a planter
tioiir Columbia, South Carolina,
made 202 bushels. A Georgia
planter this year gathered 132
bushels, but Mr. Drake’s yield sur
passes all other records.
gW A few years ago Mr. Robt.
Irvine, a son of Rey. Dr. Irwineyof
Augusta, though he had no mili

for appointment to office in the U.

he was prepared to undergo a suc
cessful examination, and received
bis commission as lieutenant in the
eleventh United States Infantry
The war department has recently
transferred him to Bedloe’s Island
in New York harbor, and Ira will be
intrusted with lira management of
military affairs on this island.
This is certainly a high compli
ment to one who has been for so
short a time in the military ser
vice.
gW Atlanta has a city court and
also the superior court. Judge Clark
of tlie superior court in making
his report for the past four years
makes a strong showing and an ap
peal for another court for the trial
of cases. In the superior court jury
trials have increased over 23 per
cent, and in the city 7 court the in
crease has been 100 per cent. In
civil business alone the superior
court is one entire y-ear behind in
the trial of jury 7 cases. Judge
Clark therefore contends that there
is an actual necessity for the crea
tion of a third court for the trial of
civil and criminal cases. In every
county of the state there is a like
increase of court business. Burke
county is not ah exception, and one
court could by no manner of means
provide for the yearly increase of
litigation.
Beauvoir, the home of Mr.
Davis, is in a very 7 short distance
of the gulf. It was left to him by 7
the will of Mrs. Darsay, and em
braces 900 acres. The mansion is
a handsome building, with high
windows and doors, intended to
catch the summer breeze. Its long
piazza is approached by a broad
thght of steps. Mr. Davis had a
plantation in Mississippi, but bis
property is mortgaged for the large
amount of $41,000. lie refused to
accept any pecuniary 7 aid from his
many friends, but just prior to bis
death consented to dispose of his
Mississippi land for $100,000. It is
understood that Mrs. Davis will
°nly accept aid when it comes in
this shape. But the South will see
to it that she or her children will
never want.

Comment Caused at Washington by a Draped
House.
Washington, Dec. 7.—There is
at least one woman in this city' who
worships the memory of the late
Jefferson Davis, and who has the
courage of her conviction. She
lives al No. 235 Second street,
southeast, and her name is Mrs.
Frederick Fairfax. The shutters
are closed to-day, and if the bell
pull was only obscured by 7 crape,
it would be easy 7 for an observant
passer-by to imagine that the death
of some one dear to the residents
had occurred within. Draped from
three windows of the upper story 7
is a wide strip ot black stuff, evi
dence of morning of a high order.
In the center of each of the window 7
sills, just where the black is fasten
ed, is a rosette. If the rosettes
were also black, they would have
excited less.comment, but they 7 are
not black. Two of them—one at
each end—are red, while the one
in the middle is white. The hues
and manner of their arrangement
combine to form the colors of the
dead Confederate, and their display
at this time made it evident that
some one was sorry 7 because Jeffer
son Davis was no more.
To a Star reporter who called
upon the woman, she described her
self as Washington born, and said
she put morning on her bouse be
cause of the death of Jefferson
Davis, whom she admired and
loved. The Star says: “Mrs. Fair
fax is the wife of Frederick Fair
fax, said to be a gentleman ot
wealtii. The city directory gives
him no occupation. Mrs. Fairfax
is the daughter of the late Lieut.
Cooke, |of the United States army,
who died a great many years ago,
leaving to his daughter the’house
in which she and her husband re
side. Mr. Fairfax was not actively
engaged in the Confederacy, but
Mrs. Fairfax’s relatives were all
Confederates, so she said this morn
ing. It W’as suggested to her by
one of the newspaper men who
called on her, that some one might
try to tear the mourning emblems
down. If any one‘entertains such
an idea be needs only to first see
Mrs. Fairfax as she appeared when
that suggestion w’as made. He
will at once abandon his project.
A number of colored people gather
ed on the sidewalk opposite the
house this morning, and criticised
the action of the Inmates, but they
went no lurther, and at a late hour
his afternooon the dismal drapery
and red,’ white and red rosettes
were still in place, buttering in the
cool breezes and reflecting their
colors in the windows of the Lin
coln school building, which hap
pens, curiously 7 enough, to be pre
cisely opposite No. 235.
Wonderful Itecoverj.
Mrs. Geo. P. Smoote, a highly cul
tivated and estimable lady of Pres
cott, Ark., writes under dale of
April 22, 1889: During the summer
of 1887 my eyes became inflamed
and my 7 stomach and liver almost
hopelessly 7 disordered. Nothing I
ate agreed with me. I took chronic
diarrhte, and for some time my life
was despaired of by 7 my family.
The leading physician of the
country were consulted, and the
medicine administered by them
never did any permanent good,and
I lingered between life and death,
(he latter being preferable to the
agonies I was enduring. In May,
1888, I became disgusted with phy
sicians and their medicines, I drop
ped them all, and depended solely
on Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) a few
bottles of which made me perma
nently 7 well—well from then until
now.”
DISABLED EOR BUSINESS.
Several years ago my health
failed me and I was compelled to
give up my 7 business. 1 was in
constant agony caused from excru
ciating pains in my back, liver and
stomach. I tried every medicine
I could hear of, but without receiv
ing any 7 relief. My attention was
then called to S. S. S. I tried five
bottles of it, and received the most
gratifying results. 1 am to-J .y as
healthy and sound a man, as you
will find anywhere, and owe it all
to the curative properties to be
found in Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.)

nologna Sausage of Horses.
New York, Dec. 8.—Bologna
sausages big and little, have been
turned out in quantities from a fac
tory in Johnson avenue, near
Maiden Lane, Newtown. The fac
tory is a two-story 7 frame building.
It has always been a mystery 7 to
the people round about. Wagon
loads of sausage were sent away
daily, but no one ever remembered
ever haying seen any meat or cat
tle brought to the place. The rattle
of the steam chopping and stuffing
machines could be heard night and
day. The odors of the place* had
more than a local reputation.
Henry Mey 7 er, the proprietor, and
three other men were employed in
making the sausages and the
smells.
To-day people living in the vicini
ty reported to the Newtown board
of health that the refuse from the
place was contaminating the water
of a pond near by 7 and rendering it
unfit for watering stock or other
purposes. Health Officer Wickham
made an investigation. He found
that the complaint was warranted
by 7 the condition of tho water, and
decided to Inspect the factory itself.
Fortified against the smells with a
pipe of tobacco and a bottle of
hartshorn, he entered the building.
Suspended in different parts of the
place were large pieces of dressed
meat. The doctor examined them,
and found that they 7 were horse
flesh.
When questioned on the subject
the proprietor did not deny 7 tiiat he
used horseflesh in manufacturing
his sausages. There is no law to
prevent it. A special meeting of
the Newtown Board of health has
been called to consider the matter.
Dr. Wickham thinks nothing can
be done, provided the meat used in
the factory is not diseased.

Many seemingly incurable cases or blood
poison, catarrh, scrofula and rheumatism
have been cured by B. B. I!. (Botanic Blood
Balm), made by the Blood Bairn C<>., Atlan
tia. Write to them for book filled with
convincing proof.
G. W. P>. Kadier, living seven miles from
Athens, Ga., writes: “For several years I
suffered with running ulces, which doctors,
treated and pronounced incurable. A single
bottle of B. B. B. did me more good titan nil
the doctors. I kept on using it and every
ulcer healed.”
I>. C. Kinard it Son, Tovvaliga, Ga.. writes;
“We induced a neighbor to try B. B. B. for
catarrh, which he thought incurable, as it
had resisted all treatment. It delighted him,
andcontinuingitsu.se he was cured sound
and well.”
It. M. Lawson, East Point, Ga.. writes:
“My wfie had scrofula 15 years. She kept
growing worse. Sue lost her hair and her
skin broke out fearfully. Debility, emacia

I tried B. B. II., and her recovery was rapid

Want to Bet Married.
Beaver Falls, Pa., Dec. 9.—The
members of the Feonomite Society,
who occupy a settlement near here,
are seriously considering the feasi
bility of returning to the institution
ot marriage. There are now but
thirty 7 members of the organization
left In the quaint little town of
Economite, and they are well along
in years. For a long time the rule
forbidding the marriage of mem
bers has been strictly enforced, and
time has so reduced their numbers
that the question of depositing the
many millions of dollars of treasure
which the organization has accu
mulated, and of perpetuating the
society ifsMf, is becoming more im
portant. At the opening of the
year a dozmi 1 ew members will be
admitted to the society. Several of
them are married. About the same
time a proposition to raise the ban
so long placed upon the marriage
rite will he considered. The socie
ty lives in the town of Feonomite,
on the banks of the Ohio river, and
has become celebrated for the fru
gality 7 of its members, its enormous
wealth, fine farms, quaint homes and
good citizens. Jacobs Hearici, its
leading spirit, is a white haired pat
riarch, a man past 80 years of age.
“This Comes llnpiilng.”
“This comes ‘hopping’ to find
you well as it leaves me at this
present,” was the quaint finish to
many a letter in days gone by.
The “hopping” was odd spelling for
hoping. This comes hoping to
point some weary woman, the vic
tim of functional derangements or
uterine troubles, internal inflamma
tion and ulceration or any other
ailments peculiar to the sex, the
way 7 of hope, health and happiness.

Sullivan to Fight again.
Buffalo, Dec. 9.—The Erie coun
ty athletic club, recently organized
by a number of wealthy men in this
city, has decided to offer a $30,000
purse for a fight between Sullivan
and Pete Jackson, the Australian
negro champion pugilist. It is said
that Sulliyan has responded favor
ably, but Jackson has not yet been
heard from.
The History ot Cotton Seed.
Was ever there a history', this side
of Cinderella, of the uprising of hu
mility like that of cotton seed ?
For seventy 7 years despised as a
nuisance and burned or dumped
as garbage. Then discovered to be
the very 7 food for which the soil was
hungering, and reluctantly admit
ted to the rank of ugly utilities.—
Shortly afterwards found to be nu
tritious food for beast as well as soil,
and thereupon treated with some
thing like respect. Once admitted
to the circle of farm husbandries,
found to hold 35 gallons of pure oil
to the ton, worth in its crude state
$14 to the ton, or $40,090,000 for the
whole crop of seed. But then a
system was devised for refining
this oil up * a value ot $1 a gallon,
and the frugal Italians placed a
cask of it at the root of every olive
tree, and then defied the Borean
breath of the Alps. And then ex
perience showed that the ton of cot
ton seed was a belter fertilizer and
a better stock feed when robbed of
its 35 gallons of oil than before, and
that the hulls of the seed made the
best of fuel for feeding the oil mil!
engine, and that the ashes of the
hulls scooped from the engine’s
drift had the highest commercial
value as potash! It was then found
that the “refuse” of the whole made
the best and purest soap stock to
carry 7 to the toilet the perfumes of
Lubin or Colgate.
About this time we began to spell
cotton seed with capital letters.
And how it traveled abroad in its
various dresses. As meal cakes it
whitened the meadows of England
with woolly fleeces, and fattened
the British cattle under the oaks; it
sputtered on the stoves of the Dutch
in lieu of lard; it glistened in the
cafes of Paris as olive oils under
the seals and signatures it couldn’t
even pronounce to save its life, and
from under the dikes of Holland it
went fortli to parade in all the brav
ery of butter and butterine.
In our country it renewed the
wasting strength of southern fields
and clad them with whiteness that
would shame the fleeces of England,
or yellow that would pale the fleeces
of the Argonauts. It knocked the
western hog into spots, and poured
the western lard out of the frying-
pan into the fire. It furnished the (
Armours and Fairbanks with a pure
substitute for the rancid fat they
had been shipping us, and suggest
ed the possibilities of a clean and
cheap lard. And about this time
congress jumped on to cotton seed
with both feet and proposed to check
its further career by a prohibitory
tax.

Preparations Made to Die.
Danvars, Mass., Dec. 5.—Mr. Gil
man A. Kimball, of this city 7 , died
of hydrophobia Monday 7 . Mr. Kim
ball’s dog had been sick, and one
day 7 while lie was handling it the
animal’s teeth came in contact with
his master’s face, causing blood to
flow from his nose, and making a
scratch on his upper lip. The dog
was shot soon after, owing to its
strange behavior. Nearly 7 three
weeks had passed. One Saturday,
as he was about to get shaved, when
the barber lathered his lip, Mr.
Kimball sprang from his chair in
violent convulsions, from which he
soon recovered. His shaving was
then finished, but he went through
a second spasm before leaving the
barbershop. Thereafter when about
to taste food or drink he went into
convulsions. He was very delibe
rate and rational about his condi
tion. He went to Boston and hade
his customers good-bye,telling them
he was about to die. He wrote a
letter to his wife, saying he had the
hydrophobia; that he would try to
control himself so as to injure no
one: that he wished her to remain
with him to the last, but if he be
came violent to give something.—
He was a powerful man, but he did
as much as he could to help others
in controlling himself. Monday 7 af
ternoon he became so violent that
several men had to hold him, and
he begged them to kill him, crying
out for more of the morphine, which
had been used to quiet him. On
that night he died.
“Now good digestion wait on appetite, and
health on both.” This natural and happy
condition of the mind and body is brought
about by tlie timely use of Prickley Asli Bit
ters. While not a beverage in any sense, it
posses jes the wonderful faculty of renewing
to the debilitated system all the elements
required to rebuild and make strong. If you

Plant Mulberry Tree*.
Speaking of the mulberry trees,
Col. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe
county 7 , says: “Two y 7 ears ago I
bought of Mr. Thurman 1,000 fruit
bearing mulberry scions, ana got
him to superintend i.heir planting.
I did this, not only because I want
ed to incidentally test the silk in
dustry 7 , but because I thought the
mulberry tree presented many ad
vantages in other respects. I re
gard the fruit-bearing mulberry a3 a
valuable tree both for fruit and for
timber. They grow up quickly, and
bear berries luxuriantly. Being
nearly all heart, the timber is very
valuable for posts, crossties, and
many other purposes where durabil
ity' is au object. Again, mulberry
timber is especially adaptable for
furniture. These trees bear fruit
100 days each y 7 ear, beginning the
last of May. While some of the
berries are ripe and falling to the
ground, others are green and others
are blooming. Hogs are extremely
fond of them, and fatten rapidly' on
them. Ho do chickens and other
fowls. I have no doubt but that the
growing of these trees can be made
profitable. On an acre of land one
hundred be set out, and in ten or
fifteen years these trees would aver
age say eight or ten Inches in di
ameter, and eighteen or twenty feet
in height without limbs. Each tree
would furnish at this rate about $100
feet of lumber. This lumber at $1
per 100 feet would cause each tree
to be worth $1 after being sawed up.
Mulberry lumber, however, is worth
more than $1 per 100 feet, perhaps
$2. But whether they 7 are ever
raised for timber or not on a large
scale, every farmer should have a
few acres for his hogs and chickens.
A few around the yard for chickens
is an excellent thing. As timber
becomes more scarce and valuable
our people, if they are wise, will be
gin to look about for the most avail
able timber to take the place of that
now being cleared away so rapidly 7 .
Instead of cultivating at a loss, as
some do, hundreds of acres of poor,
worn and exhausted land, it would
be much better to plant these lands
in some growth which, in the course
of time, would be valuable.

Countertellers Caught at Brununlck.
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 9.—James
Donald and Charles Sehlosky had a

was clear and convincing, and they
were bound over in $300 and $1,000
respectively, to appear at the next
session of the United States court at
Savannah. Sehlosky made a clean
breast of the whole affair, implicat
ing Robert Moran. An officer was
detailed to arrest Moran, but he had
fled to Fernandina. The local au
thorities telegraphed fhe sheriff of
Nassau county 7 , Florida t to arrest
tiie fugitive. He succeeded, and
brought his prisoner over to-night
and lodged him in the county jail.
He will have a hearing in the morn
ing. At Schlosky’s house ill Fer

We know that Padgett is a level

the Evening News man cannot see
how he can sell goods at such

The OriKlu or the Word Calico.
The word “calico” has a queer
origin. Many centuries ago the
first monarch of the province of
Malabar gave to one of his chiefs, as
a reward for distinguished services,
his sword and all the land within
the limit of which a cock crowing at
a certain temple could be heard.—
From the circumstance, the little
town which grew up in the center
of this territory was called Calicoda
or the cock crowing. Afterwards it
was called Calicut, and from this
place the first cotton goods were
imported into Iligland, bearing the
name ol calico. *
