Coffee County Gazette: Mr. William
Parker gives his opinion as to the whisky
traffic in liis community:
As I wish to define iny position on this
question, I would say that I do not wish
to oppose any branch ot men’s business,
or their success iu life, but find our village
homes so much more comfortable, and the
ladies of the country-and village so much
more liberty in our streets and business
bouses/and our farmers’ sons that drink
have so much improved In their habits,
and blackguard and profaue swearing re
moved from among our children, that I
am compelled to say, if I speak my senti
ments, that the removal of the sale of whis

the morals and liberties of this people

the war. May Providence provide and
instruct the Legislature to work for the

The thief left his tools in the store. Mr.

Columbus Enquirer: When it comes
to sure enough progress Columbus is never
behind. Anything progressive in material
resources she is quick to grasp, and this is
specially true of any element in manufac
turing progress. The Eagle and Phenix
mills have always led in improvements-
This coiporation never follows the whims
of the East, but is original and up with
the times. Their -model mill, No. 3, has
now added toil the last conquest of genius,
and will hereafter blaze with the electric
light. After a pains-taking and thorough
examination of the electric lights seeking
public patronage, this company adopted
Bush’s dynamo-electric fiiachines. They
now have in position three of these
machines, and which will light up this
mill with fifty-four electric lamps, each of
two thousand candles power. The best
gas lights in use in the city are about fif
teen candles power—say they were twenty
candles power—then this mill will be
lighted by electricity, equalled to 3,400 gas
ets. The company lias prepared a most
elegant ^arranged, clean and tidy building
for the special use of these machines. The
power is perfect, and when our neighbors
wish to see a perfect arrangement "which
makes night brighter than the average day,
the Eagle and l’lieuix mills give that
opportunity. This makes the Eagle and
Phenix mills users of a larger number of
electric lamps than any concern in the
South.

Atlanta Post: H. T. Reagan, who
was sent to the penitentiary-from Spal

guard a few days since. Reagan frequent
ly had attacks of epilepsy, earned lrom a

the late war, and having one of those fits
attempted violence to the guard, who to
protect ttrown life had to shoot Reagan.
Thia frightful tragedy is the last act In
completely wrecking a onee happy house

when Hunt Shannon attacked bitn, at
whom he-shot. This sent him to the

Savannah News: Saturday afternoon
about eighty of the negroes who struck for
higher wages at the Lower cotton press on
Wednesday last, and who were discharged
and their places filled, assembled at the
press at the' paylng-off hour to demand
their wages. Sergeant Harvey, of the
police force, was notified and proceeded to
the press-to watch the course of events.
The negroes were notified that they could
not be paid at present, as their time had
not been fullv made up, but that they
would receive their money some time next
week; that employment would be given
them if they would return to work on
Monday, but thev stated they would, not
do so at the present wages. No attempt
at a disturbance was made, however, and
about 7 o’clock the crowd of colored people
quietly dispersed.
Waycross Reporter: It is said that

He doesn’t go for campaign money, but

and as we predicted, he is going to have
pretty hard work to convince that central
campaigu committee that he ever ran- for
Congress. Wonder what argument he is
going to- use to prove that he made the

very poor ones on his side of llie question.
But, nevertheless, he must give an ac

Rome Tribune: One of llie beauties
and charms(?) of an editor’s life consists
in his “dead-heading” it on all occasions.
One who has never tasted the sweets of
that bliss, cannot begin to tako jti the
glory aud happiness experienced by the
editor in dead-lieaJiug. For instance, he
does one hundred dollar^ worth of adver
tising for a railroad company and gets a
pass for a year, rides the value of a .few
dollars, if he rides at all,'and then lie . is
looked upon by the conductor as-a tramp
or dead-beat. He .pufij a concert troupe
ten dollars’ worth,'gets a one dollar seat,
and is thus passed “free.” He blows
and putts a church festival, docs tlie
handbill printing at half rates
and gets a “thank you” for it; it is at
tributed as part of iris duty as an editor,
and then the paj^er “has to be filled up
la advertising for old brass. We thought
he had brass enough for a young fellow,
and can’t see any equity in taking that
which belongs to the old fellow.

Sunday morning Judge T. G. Holt re-
celved froin Chicago the melancholy news
that his son, Russell, well known lit
this city, was upon the ill-fated steamer
Alpena when it went down in Lake Mich
igan, on the 16th day of October, with all
on board. Tfie intelligence came from a
friend of the hnfortanate young man, and
was the first tp reach the family in this
city, although twenty-three . days had
passed since the accident occurred.
The facts which surround tbe death of
Russell Holt present a singular array ot
happenings bearing one upon the other,
and lead to his watery grave like a path
marked out bjr am evil fate. He was in
business in this city np td the time of the
Masonic conclave in 1 Chicago last August,
but acoompanied bis father upon the ex-
curson to that city. Possessed of a fancy
for shipping and the sea he spent consid
erable time in tbe . neighborhood of the
many .wharves and vessels which are to be
found in Chicago.
Although offered a good position in a
counting house, he preferred tlie water,
aud having made the acquaintance of a
young gentleman running upon the steam
er Muskegon,'with bis .assistance he also
obtained a positidiTupon the same. boat.
It was from this young companion that
the news came to Judge Holt yesterday
morning. It seems that a warm friend
ship sprung up between the two young
men, and an intercourse whidh was unin
terrupted until business' called-the last
named to Buffalo. While bis friend was
absent, unknown to him, Mr. Holt ob
tained a transfer to the Alpena, a com
panion vessel of the same line, and run
ning to the same points. • fH
When this Chicago friend returned and
wept upon the Muskegon, he-was inform
ed that Mr. Holt had been transferred to
the 'Aljiena, and had- gone upon bis first
trip. Expecting to meet him at some
stopping point, and liop'ng to persuade
him to return ;to the Muskegon, he started
npon the journey. They, never met again.
Saturday on: the lake tho two vessels,
sighted, hailed, passed - each other
aud plunged into the darkness beyond,
one to the safe port, bearing its living
cargo to happy homes and loving wel
comes; the other into the arms of a mighty
tempest, where waves should beat upon
the vessel and draw down into eternity
the'seventy souls that were gathered with
in., her cabins. Upon the - latter vessel
stood Russell Holt.
This is all that is known. His friend
hesitated for days and weeks, but finally
yielded to a sense of duty, and in a most
beautiful letter to Judge HoK, revealed
.life sad fate'of bis son. Abrupt as was tbe
intelligence, it did not come altogether
unexpectedly. The Tijhg time that had
elapsed since the last letter was written
home, together with the expressed inten
tion of going on the Alpena, awoke in tlie
family here fears for the young mait’a-
safety. Tfut the blow, nevertheless, was
crushing, and tho family are now tntlie
deepest distress pver the sad .fate of tho
only son. Wetawhutestend tolheniour
deepest sympathies. There is no hope.
The New York Herald of October 20tli
has the following concerning the disaster
to tho Alpena:
“There is how no longer any reason tot
doubt the total loss, with all on board, of
the passenger steamer Alpena, of the
Goourich Line, which has for many years
plied between Chicago and various ports
on tlie eastern shore of Lake Michigan.
It left the dock at Muskegon last Friday
evening, October 15lh, and should have
maije her dock at Rush street, Chicago, on
the morning of the 16th.
“Iu accordance with her invariable.cus
tom, the Alpena touched at Grand Haven
on Friday and u>ok on a few passengers
and some freight, clearing from that port
at nine o’clock p. m. She was next sight
ed by the steamer Muskegon, also of the
Goodrich iLJne, about midway the
lake, - 'Saturday morning, show
ing • that tbe vessel had proceeded
thus far without accident or delay.. The
■weitbef was warai and fine, the lake was
smooth, and all on hoard anticipated a
pleasant trip. * *- To-day,- for the
first time, the owners of the Alpena give
her up, aud acknowledge that there is no
chance that she may yet be heard from.
Every point on Lake Michigan, which the
disabled steamer could have reached for
refuge from the awful storm, which came
up with phenomenal suddenness about
three o’clock Sunday , evening,, has been
readied by telegraph, and still no word of
the*Alpena. 'On tlie contrary, pieces of
her cabin, her piano and other, -wreckage
were found this morning on the beach
one mile liorth of Holland, Michigan,
while north' of Grand Haven, a large
amount of the Alpena’s freight has drifted
ashore. At a late hour to night no intelli
gence has been received from any pass'en-
f er or crew, and it is thought that no pqa
as survived to hecite the story'<Jf liow tile
steamer wks dashed in'pieces by the furi
ous waves and filially went d6wn. All
hope that the Alpena might; have found
shelter among the Maultou islands is dis
sipated by the arrival of the propeller,
Wissahickonj at-Milwaukee this morning
with the int- lligcnee .that the. Alpena had
not been s^en at Manito'u. • • • The
Associated Press agent at Holland, Michi
gan, reports i Have been, to tbe shore and
along tlie beach for a distance of five
miles; find large quantities of apples,
headings and other freight, also portions
of tbo upper deck, - stanchions'
and rail,. gang-planks and. hatches,
and one door panel with the
name Alpena upon it; also two life
preservers, au-oar, and a chair marked
steamer Alpena. A piano came ashore
during the nlgh^ which is recognized by
the agent, of tlie Greenwich Line front

Sunday night Mr. Zach Rogers, who
lives out on the turnpike road in tbe
neighborhood of Giles’ store, went off to
church, leaving the boose and little
daughter in care of his son Johnny, aged
abour thirteen yean. Johnny went to
sleepy, bat was awakened by tbe noise of
some one trying to force tbe kitchen latch.
Tbe latch broke, but the burglar failed to
get the door open. He then tried a win
dow, and finally came upon the porch of
the. house. Johnny thought this was about
time to interfere, and throwing open a
window he stepped out on the porch also,
revolver in hand, and as the baffled bur
glar made a'rapld retreat, fired three shots
at him.
Tfie man was evidently struck, for eke
cried out loud enough to be heard by the
neighbors, who immediately came to the
rescue of our little marksmau. Johnny
was calm through it all, and did not fire
until the man had passed beyond the line
of a neighbor's window. When Mr.
Rodgers returned, which, he did a few
minutes after,i his found the boy standing
out doors in bis night clothing, relating
the affair to a group. In reply to an in
quiry whether or uot he was frightened,
he replied, “No,"but I am pretty cold.”

Tbe Batted States District Court,
At the.opening of-the session on yester
day of the United States District Court,
Col. L. N. Whittle, of the Macon bar,
arose in his place, and substantially re
marked as follows:
May it please your Honor: Before the
regnlar business of the court has begun, I
would like to say a few woids in behalf
of myself and my colleagues of the west
ern division of the southern district of
Geoigia, expressive of our pleasure and
gratification on the organization of the
United* States Courts in Macon, and do
hope that our relations with the court
over which your Honor has long and ably
presided, will continue as pleasant in Ma
con as Wo have always experienced in Sa-
vannrii.
Judge' Erskine responded in a few
words, expressing bis thanks for the kind
ly; feeling towards himself and confidence
in the court. v * * " *
The Georgia Synod.
This distinguished body of dlvints and
laymen will meet in Thomasvillo on
Wednesday, tbe lOtb instant. There
will probably be about eighty delegates
in attendance. Tbe fair will be in prog
ress at that time, but the citizens have
been thoughtful of the welfare of the
Presbyterian . brethren, and through
committee have already secured places
for members of the synod. Thomasvilld
is noted for her hospitality, and on this
occasion will doubtless sustain her well-
earned reputation.

Adele Belgirde. J
Last night Miss Adele Belgarde af-
ordedtothe theatre-loving a feast. The
bill presented was a most enjoyable
one, presenting a succession of the most
beautiful acts In Shakespeare. The fourth
acts, from “Cymbeline,” “As You Like It,*’
“Twelfth Night,” tlio prison scene in
“Measure for Measure,” the balcony scene
m “Romeo and Juliet,” and the closing
scene in “Hamlet” were given.
In these numerous acts the talented lit
tle lady was required to appear not only
in female characters widely differing, but
to represent also those two opposites
which the master hand of the great author
has drawn with such wonderful distinct
ness—-Borneo and Hamlet. To say thatshe
succeeded only wcuidnotbe doing justice
to a faithful actress. As Imogen, Rosalind,
viola, Isabella and Romeo, she was sin
gular distinctive, eutering into each char
ter with a thorough self-forgetfulness, and
seeming to grasp the intention of each as
1 by intuition.
InJIamlet—for a woman—she was won
derful, lacking only force of manhood suf
ficient to overcome a boyishness in some
parts. This we take it, however, is the
fault of nature, if fault it can be termed,
for in denying us here a perfect Hamlet,
nature in Miss Belgarde lias given us a
perfect Isabella. If we may be allowed
to pronounce upon the whole bill, we
would express a preference for Isabella,
as portrayed by Miss Belgarde In the pris
on scene of “Measure for Measure;” it
may be truly said of her that she held the
mirror up to nature there, and gave us a
perfect representation of a woman moved
by love, scorn and anger.
'- Miss Belgardc’s acting is of that pas
sionate, impulsive kind which, while at
times it may - fly above the mark, never
fhlls beneath!it.
Of her support we scarcely know what
to say. Iu some pieces it is good, in oth
ers mediocre, and in others still, a failure
—that is, regarding the support as an en
tirety. Individually there were members
tint stand high as actors, and deservedly
30. Mrs. Sargent as Juliet and Ophelia,
was both realistic and inspiring, and
Mr. J. Ri Anderson, who appeared
last evening in three acts, was without
fault in the characters assumed. Several
of the.others, also, were successful at
times. Perhaps we would-better express
ourself had we said the support lacked
that unity of purpose that links tbe char
acters of a play together, and makes tlie
action of each natural.

start out to tuy, you, look for good bar
gains, not affection.; If yon . can buy
cheapest in Cincinnati, go there; hut
don’t go to ai higher maiket on a matter
of sentiment; for what shall it profit s

New York, November 10.—An exam
ination was held today liy Police Justice
Morgan, in the District Attorney’s office,
off Samuel S- Morey and Robt. Lindsey, ar
rested for alleged peijury in tho PbMp-
Garfield.libel case. Assistant District At

Geo. M. Biiss were present. The accused
were in the close custody of detectives.
Tbe magistrate ordered the room cleared
of spectators.' John W. Morey, police of
ficer of Boston, testified that Samuel S.
Morey never bad an uncle named H. L.
Morey.-' **" - •: • -
Lindsey was next examined. He said
hirreal name was Jas. O’Brien, tweuty-
one years of age, a native of Washington
and employed as a laherer in the gas
house at Georgetown. He tpok the alias,
of Lindsey and .registered from Cumber
land, Maryland.
* At this point the witness was asked
what'he had to say in relation to the
charge of perjury made against him, and
he replied: “I wish to make an expiana-
tldn.” Judge Morgan thereupon ordered
the reporters to retire, aud O’Brien's state
ment was taken in full. The.statement
was not made public, but will be laid be
fore the grand jury. Samuel S. Morey
was also examined, and, it is reported,
.made'a full coufessiou, but his statement
