IRWINVILLE, GA.
An Old Town With Progressive New Growth.
Where Jeff. Davis Was Captured.
IRWINVILLE, Ga., Sept. 10.—About
one mile northwest of Irwlnviile, the
capital of Irwin county, is the historic
spot where President Jefferson Davis
raptured by a detachment of Un
ion cavalry In May, 1865. This closing
act of the civil war has been told many
times and often Incorrectly printed,
still it Is Interesting matter and will do
no harm to retell it here.
After holding his last cabinet meet
ing at Washington, Ga., President Da
is and his cabinet ministers dispersed
in different directions to escape cap
ture by the pursuing Union troops.
resident Davis with a small escort,
selected a route to the Florida coast
here he Intended taking ship for Cu
ba. He traveled in a carriage accom
panied by Mrs. Davis,' while the escort
on horseback. The party crossed
the Ocmulgee river at Pdor Robin Fer
ry. opposite Abbeville In Wilcox coun
ty, and pushed on to within a mile of
Irwlnviile, when they camped for the
night among the pines. The detach
ment, of Michigan, cavalry which left
Macon two days before in pursuit of
President Davis, reached the vicinity
of the camp about midnight, dividing
Into two or three squads for the pur-
of surrounding the Davis party.
They catrie up to the camp between
midnight and day. In the darkness two
squads mistaking each other for the
Is escort, opened lire, killing two
and several horses. Hearing the
firing, Mr. Davis stepped out of his
tent to investigate the cause of the
trouble. As he emerged from ttye tent,
Mrs. Davis noticing that he was thinly •
dressed, threw her shawl over his
shoulders to protect him from the cool i I
night air. It was from this incident j the county court for several years,
that the false charge originated that, nnd gives general satisfaction by his

idltlonal contribution by the lib
eral and enterprising citizens of the
town.
The school Is under the management
of Prof. T. W. Murray, formerly of
Houston county, and a graduate of the
University at Athens. He has been
teaching since 1897 and Is an educator
of hluh M.ii’iiim*. A visit this school
will convince any one of the practical
and progressive nature of the instruc
tions.
Progressive Citizens.
Irwlnviile Is fortunate In having a
citizenship of liberal minded, progres
slve business and professional men and
officials. They believe in pushing the
town ahead and aro always ready to
aid every* entrrprlso for the general
betterment of the community. Follow

ing most for the upbuilding of the
town.

EXCUR3ION RATE S ~
President Davis attempted to escape
dressed* as a woman. Just outsldq the
tent he was met by a Union officer and
eral soldiers who arrested him In a
quiet, gentlemanly way. In response to
* Inquiry from the officer. Mr. Davis
promptly admitted his Identity nnd no
indignity was offered him by the Un
ion troops.
President Davis was taken from here
to Macon nnd sent on to Fortress Mon
roe In Virginia, where he was confined
In a cell In the fort. If President Davis
had adopted the same method of es
cape chosen by General Breckenrldge,
Gen. Toombs nnd other eminent Con
federates, the black chapter In Ameri
can history In which Is detailed Mr.
Davis’ Imprisonment and cruel treat
ment, would not have been written.
Gen. Breckenrldge, for Instanco, trav
eled on horseback, accompanied only
by his son, nnd when he learned that
his pursuers were gaining on him. ho
made himself known to u prominent
citizen, Hon. Seaborn Hall of Appling
county, who managed to conceal him
until tho Union troops passed through
the country and then sent a guide with
him to pilot him by night safely to tho
gulf coast. Col. E. D. Graham of Mc
Rae, Ga., a grandson of Mr. Hall, now
owns Gen. Breckenrldge*' gold watch,
which the presented to Mr. Hall in tok-
of his valuable services In Having
him ?rom capture. If Mr. Davis had
adopted a similar plan of escape ho
would have found hundreds of promi
nent. substantial men along the route
ho traveled who would have gladly and
safely aided him to reach tho coast
where he could have sailed for more
friendly shores. In such a country as
In 1865, It could have been
easily managed, ns all the leading men
ere loyal to the Confederate cause.
Irwlnviile has been tho county seat
trer since the organization of Irwin
county, but thero was nothing to mnko
a town. In fact, for long years condi
tions In this section were such thnt
town was neither needed or wanted by
the few settlers. The court house,
small store and three or four dwellings
constituted the buildings of the place.
Superior court convened twice a year,
spring and fall, and although the pop
ulation^ of the county was nbout 4.000,
there was so little litigation nmong the
people thnt the courts often adjourned
first day for want of business.
There was not a lawyer In tho county
and for many years If R doctor was
needed he had to he brought from an
other county. The people were honest,
thrifty and happy.
But since the coming of the rail
roads, a great change has taken place
in Irwin county. Towns are springing
up like magic. Industries are multiply
ing. the fertile lands are being cleared
nnd cultivated by thrifty farmers and
fine schools and churches are prosper
ing. In the decade from 1890 to 1900
the population of the county more than
doubled.
Irwlnviile for years was under the
heavy disadvantage of having no rail
road transportation which kept It hack,
but since the building of the branch of
the Atlantic and Birmingham to the
place it has made splendid headway
and Its growth is substantial. Includ
ing tight or ten solid business con
cerns, and the town has a fine trade
which comes from a fertile, prosper
ous forming section extending
miles around. Newcomers are offered
, llheral inducements to become resi
dents. Business and resident lots are
offered on very reasonable terms to de
sirable citizens who will Improve them.
There are few healthier sections in
South Georgia than this and the lands
are conceded to be of the best quality,
The farmers are In a prospcious condi
tion. They raise home supplies In plen
ty and make money raising cotton.
Both upland and sea Island cotton can
be raised. Everything known to South
Georgia soil can be raised here with
ease and in great plenty, Including the
velvet bean, fruit, etc. The finest of
peaches, pears, grapes and strawber
ries ere raised in this community. The
soli is excellent for peaches and lands
adapted to their culture can be pur
chased at reasonable values. Irwlnviile
is building up on a solid basts and th*
fget that It has a territory of the very
best farm lands which are aa yet but
i sparcely settled, makes Its prospects
Also solid, as these lands are coming
Into great demand snd will be settled
up by thrifty farmers and as the sur
rounding country Is developed, the
town will grow In business and popu
lation.

Manchester Cloth Market,
MANCHESTER, S.qd. 11. Th-
cloth market during the poet week
generally speaking, was very firm, ow
Ing to the ecarcity of an Immediate
supply of American yarns nnd the im
proved position of manufacturers.
There was a healthy demand in l
sections of tho market nnd nlthc
negotiations were hampered by the
dearness of spot cotton, n turnover
curred, but It was chiefly for delivery
from November onward. China contin
ued to purchase considerably, although
the higher prices of the quantity hln
derod transactions. For Calcutta and
Mndras thero was more animated pur
chasing of light bleaching and shirting.
There was a good demand for nearer
outlets, notably for the Levant, Egypt
nnd South America. For yarns thero
was no lack of Inquiry, but the Irregu
larity In the price of cotton prevented
Important negotiations. The American
and home trade in cops was much
firmer.
