Glover sent his little son, Sterl ing, aged twelve or fourteen years, to town, with a wagon containing three bales of cotton, while he followed in a buggy. Just as the wagon had stopped in front of Toole & McGarrah’s ware house, and as the little boy had stepped on the wheel to descend from bis scat on the cotton, > thfl_iqufes f jumped,around, turning the wheel anu throwing him on the ground, ..One wheel passed over his C • , «,rt<y and hurting It so much 'ank.e, Dru^_„ if. j) r .

Chronicle and Constitutionalist: A citizen of Greenville, who returned from Atlanta Friday night, tells a good joke on Atlanta. He states that on Friday morn ing a letter was received bjfcdfo Governor, accompanied by an old siifiw^ watch val ued at about three dollars, the letter pur porting to be from one of the gaDg of pickpockets which infested that city dur ing the fair. The writer stated, in substance, that they had met with the most encouraging success, capturing ^so many watches that fey bad Use for the one accompanying the note, and had decided to pre : ent it to the Governor as a memento of the admirable police regula tions of the Gate City by which they had been enabled to ply their avocation with out danger of arrest. The writer expresi- cd thanks fpr the kind and courteous manner in which they had been received by the people of Atlanta, and desired that when the next fair occurred they be re ceived with the same courtesy, and assur ing His Excellency they would he repre sented by larger numbers of their class as an acknowledgement of the generous hos pitality extended them. Sumter Republican: We are inform ed by Mr. J. W. Turner, telegraph ope rator in this city, that- the building used as a court-bouse for Worth county, was. destroyed by fire on Sunday night, about' one o’clock. The records were probably saved, as the county had bought a large safe after tbe destruction of the court- bouse last year, ft is said that the crimi nal docket was heavy and that court would hare commeuced on Monday last. Since the court-house was burnt last fall, court had been held in a sclioolf house. The particulars were meagre and i\is not known whether it was set on fire or’tjot. Southerner and Appeal: Madame Renta's ‘‘Dizzy Blondes” are traveling South. Some of the gentlemen of our town will short.y have business in Macon that demands immediate attention. IshmaeUU: While tbe Norwood men may have been “campaign idiots,” there is no reason why campaign asses should be eternally braying about It. Tub “City of Augusta.”— Chronicle and Constitutionalist: The iron steamer City of Augusta, Captain Nickerson, built by John Roacli & Son, at Chester, for the Ocean Steamship Company, Savannah, Georgia, left New York yesterday morn ing for Savannah. She is the finest steamer ever built in an American shipyard. She is 300 feet long on the 12 foot water line, 323 feet over all, 40 feet beam, 25 feet 0 indies depth of bold, has three decks, and all her deck houses are of iron, and is pronouuced to be strongest steamer in tbe world of ber class. Sbe bas a com pound engine with 42J and 82 indies cyl inders, and 54 inches piston stroke; shaft, 15$ inches in diameter; propeller, sixteen feet in diame ter, 24 ieet pitch; C main boilers, 12 feet 0 indies long, three furnaces on each boil er; steam steering gear, American Ship Windlass Company's steam windlass and steam capstan; latest improved rafts and boats, cork lifejackets for each passenger and (tow, and all the most improved appliances for pumping and fire ex tinguishing. Her passenger accommo dations are superb, both in arrangement and point of decoration. She will be of great speed and will carry 0,000 bales of cotton. She is brig rigged and spreads enough canvas to take cafe of herself in the event of breaking iter machinery. She is to ply between New York and Savan nah, Ga., and is a sister ship to the City of Columbus, Gate City, City of Macon and City of Savannah. She has accom modations for 100 first-class and 50 second class passengers. Her cost Is nearly half a million dollars. A friend in New York City sends the Savannah News the following account of the steamship: The fine steamship City of Augusta ar rived in New York on Friday evening, 22d instant, having made tbe run from Chester here on her trial trip in twenty- one hours, steaming time. Her average speed from Roaeh’s yard to the Capes of Delaware, with her machinery stiff and untried, was ten miles an hour, un der a pressure of sixty-five pounds of steam, and an aveiage of thirty-nine turns of the wheel per minute. Passing out to sea from the Capes her compasses were adjusted, and site proceeded there after to New Xork, making fourteen knots under an increased pressure to the quar antine station. The performance of the ship has proved most satisfactory in every respect, and your pdople may well be proud of such an accession to the Ocean Line of steamers hailing from Savannah. Her dimensions and working capacity are hereby appended: Length on 12 foot water line, 300 feet; length over all; 323 feet; beam, 40 feet; depth of hold, 25 feet 0 inches; compound engines, Inverted cylinders, 42$ and 82 inches in diameter; 54 inches stroke of piston; six steel boilers, twelve feet six Indies in diameter, eleven feet five inches long; working pressure one hundred pounds to the square inch, three furnaces on cadi boijar. One superheater holler twelve feet three indies, thirteen feet high, with the finest interior decorations of any steamer ever bnilt in America. She has three decks. With her powerfal engines and fine model lb is estimated that if *dc- sirablq she can make the run from New York to Savannah in forty-eight hours. The ship is schooner rigged, with a square sail yard forward to use or lower at pleas ure. In general appearance the vessel is a very handsome one. As she lies moored In tbe dock alongside the Savannah, the latter looks like a cockle book to her. You may form a correct estimate of her length when you reflect that she will cover the distance from the post-office comer, on Drayton street, to the custom house pavements, on Bull, and yet she worked with great ease at sea, and In docking her at pier 35, North river, she was handled with the same ease its the other steamers. Capt. Nickerson came round In command, lie has his first and second officers and quar termasters from the Columbus, and, to make the outfit complete, Mr. Boh Saussy will, In due time, l>e assigned to her. In consequence of the heavy accumulation of coUoii awaiting transportation at Sa vannah, the upholstering and finishing touciies of cabin equipments will be de ferred for the present, and as soon as the forcing pumps and some small alterations are completed in the engine rooms, the ship will sail for Savannah, probably on next Tuesday afternoon, the 25th instant. Warkknton Clipper: We arc pained to leam that, Mr. John Hill, a son of Un cle Bob Hilvof Norwood, had his left arm and hand horribly cut up in a gin on Monday laat. It may be possible to save the arm, though one or two of the fingers on the left hand will doubtless have to be amputated. We trust that Mr. Hill will soon tie over his suffering, and once more mingling with his many friends. Tjik Epizootic. —Atlanta Post-Appeal: ^p-aking of Che epizootic; it is spreading its ravages, and has ■ taken hold of the human kind as well as the animals. bout every third person you m lotting bis nasal apparetha at a ate and talking about Ms terr* A^ftntanas a gifted |liinat^j in tl JjtE covered.—Wakarp pleased to 1 from the, Augusta fia Rev.

A Bio Establishment. — Evening News: From three to five hundred men are employed at the Sibley Mills at dif ferent times, and an axermge'ofthreirlnin- dred and fifty are kept constantly em ployed. Savannah bonds are quoted at 84 i bid and 85J asked. Central railroad stock is worth 1WJ. A magnificent advance. Pay Youb Taxes.—The Savannah News gives this timely-advice, which is equally applicable to this city and lati tude: A Mw weeks ago we made mention of the fact that considerably oVer tc thousand white citizens of Chatham county Were disfranchised on account of anon-payment of their taxes, and we learn that this State of affairs still exists. We desire, there- fore, once nioie to urge upon all sucli delinquents to settle their dues at once, so that they may bo enabled to exercise their rights as citizens, and vote, on Tuesday next, at the presidential and congres sional election. It is the duty of every -* «t| times, to obey the law and citizen,*.— *-ever tax is Justly pay to the county wu—. • -Mfare bu‘ laid upon him for the general r ’ . tills duty is particularly imperative at this time. The contest in this congressional district will be hotly waged, and the Re publicans—amply supplied with “the sinews of war”—will do their best to carry it against Hon. George R. Black, and for Mr. John T. Collins, late of Massachu setts. Every Democratic vote is therefore needed, and we call npon all Democrats in arrears withtlieirtases to come forward and comply without delay with a duty rc- nqirefl by law, patriotism and party feaity. It turns out that the carpet-bagger Rad ical candidate Collins in the first dis trict is not a Maine man, but hails trom Massachusetts. A distinction without a difference. The Health or Savannah Good. News: Some apprehensions, we under stand, are felt among the absentees about returning home on account of the broken bane fever. For the benefit, and to re lieve the fears of all such, we would state on the authority of our physicians and druggists that the back-bone of the fever is broken, and that there arc at present very few cases In thecity. In fact, Savan nah is at this time unusually healthy, and the weekly mortuary lists bear testimony to tbe assertion. The b. b. f. has been and is exceedingly disagreeable to. the victim, bnt it is not fatal, and the cool spell lias nearly chased it away. Other wise there is no sickness in the city what ever, and the city is daily througe'd with strangers and we are pleased to notice the arrivals are increasing. Savannah is well worth a visit now, business is brisk, the stores are well filled with handsome goods, the weather charming and the city exceedingly cleanly and healthy. Trouble Among the Stevedores.— The News reports a threatened strike of over 300stevedores. It would appear, says that paper “ from tho statements made by the stevedores and hands outside, that the trouble originated in the supposition that a colored firm, Burke & Maxwell, licensed stevedores, engaged with some hands in loading a Norwegian vessel, were acting as agents for Messrs. Bergman & Steele, stevedores, who were lately expelled from the Stevedores’ Association on the ground that they were doing work under the rates adopted by the associa tion. The movement was intended to compel tbe men working under Burke & Maxwell to stop and to keep Bergman & Steele from securing labor, and the affair was apparently managed by tbe head men, there being uo complaint, so far as we heard, among the workingmen of a reduction of their wages. There- was no attempt at distuibance, though wo wore informed that some threats were made against the hands working on the said Norwegian vessel. “It is understood that another meeting will be held this morning, from which it would appear that there will be further interruption to business, which at this time is a very serieus matter, as already there is a general blockade of cotton. Last evening there was hundreds of bales left on the West Broad street, the front of , the various warehouses were adorned with cotton bales, and on Bay street, from Aber- eorn to East Broad street, cotton bales three abreast were piled. There is a “block” at the cotton presses, and in con sequence of these troubles tho wheels of commerce have virtually been locked, and if there is not an eariy adjustment of these differences the loss to this community will be serious.” Mr. Gray HabrIs, an old and respect ed citizen of Chattahoochee county, is dead. Military Spirit on the Decline in Columbus.—The Times says: Less than two years ago Columbus could boast of three as good military companies as any city, but now wc have only one. The City Light Guards and the Muscogee Ri fles seem to have entirely dishaiioed, and tin: only remaining one, the Columhus Guards, is not in a very flourishing condi tion. We hope that the military spirit of our city will not altogether disappear. Let us have military companies. They are, when properiy conducted, a source of great pleasure to those who join them. Why should not Columbus furnish as many and as good military companies as her neighbor cities ? *. The Speakership.—Lhrontcle and Constitutionalist: Hon. A. O. Bacon will be a candidate for re-election as Speaker ot the House, but the honor will proba bly be contested by W. H. Hammond, of Thomas; J. U. Polliill, of Jefferson; N. L. Hutchins, of Gwinnett; .General A. J. Hansel], of Cobb, and Judge Twiggs, of Richmond. Only one old member was re-elected to the Senate—Hon. H. D. McDaniel, of tho twenty-seventh. Twenty members of tho House have been re-elected. There arc ten Republicans In tho latter branch of flie Legislature, while In the former only one representative of the Republican i>;u:y will ajqiear. Romantic Double Marriage.—Ath ens Banner: Tuesday afternoon, Rev. John Calvin Johnson performed a double marriage ceremony in his room—by the one act, uniting four colored people in the holy estate of matrimony. About a dozen witnesses were present. The romance of the occasion was increased by the fact that the marriage was necessary in order to enable the participants to escape the penalty of the Jaw. Unfortunate Affair. — Enquirer- Sun : On Tuesday quite an unfortunate difficulty occurred at the residence of Mr. Joe King and his son-in-law, Mr. Acee Daniel. The origin of the difficulty was some family affair, the particulars of which would he of no interest to llte pub lic. Some words passed and Mr. King arose and struck Dauiel, when the latter drew a knife and began a culting him. The wife of Daniel and daughter of King in- terferred and prevented lurther use of the knife. Mr. King received a very severe stab and cut in the right arm pit, and a deep gash was cut on his left cheek. He was advised to make his will, although the wounds are not necessarily fatal. Alligators.—Cochran Enterprise : On the place in Laurens county, called tbe Grimsley pi ace,belonging to the late Hay den Hughes, there is a large hole of water iu which a “school or herd” of alligators live. Last Saturday, Mr. David Davis, took his gun and walked down to the place to try to kill an alligator. He was gone about an hour and succeeded in kill ing seven. We don’t know that Mr. Davis is related in any way to David Davis of “averdupoise fame,” or to the ex-Presi- dent of the Confederacy, yet he is entitled to be called a “whale.” A- “iierd” of alligators is something new. Death of J. L. Weston.—The Daw son Journal says the local editor of that paper,Mr. N.L. Weston,receiveda dispatch on the 27th instant, from Elmore, Ala., announcing the sudden death of W. R. .

Going down hill, the, wagon broke away*fresn them, tlirclf one of the freedmen down, b^eal$ing\hisr neck and killing him instantly. A colored woman very narrowly escaped being killed also. Savannah News: Yesterday morning a colored man named Jacob Young, en gaged at work on Mr. A. E. Moynelo’s plantation, on tlie Ogeechee, was painfully and seriously injured by being caught in a threshing machine while threshing our. rice. He received a severe cut in the head and one of the screws nearly perforated his right jaw. He was also badly bruised about the right arm and side.' Young was brought to the city and received medical attention. His injuries, though serious, are not considered dangerous. Greeneshoro Home Journal: Mr. and Mrs. Davis .Smith, formerly of Macon, but for tho last few years residents near Gainesville, are now the courteous host and hostess of the Piedmont Hotel in that place. This fine house is quite convenient to the depot, and we commend it to our friends who visit that flourishing city. Unjust Discrimination.—Oglethorpe Echo: Tho laws of Georgia seem to have m-,." fratped solely in tho Interest of members of the ^ ^ a matter al most impossible to kceptnenl 0llt °‘ their fee. They can open a case that has £? en settled to secure pay for services rendered and collect claims In preference to any other creditor. Again, while the code forbids a grand jury to VOto money to county offices, it gives that body the power to pay tho solicitor general. Examine what page you tniy, and there is a clause that seems especially framed forthe bene fit of lawyers. We think it the dnty of our Legislature to look into this matter and equalize things. Wc do not see any Just reason wliy an attorney should have rights not given other claimants. While they should be paid for their services, let thorn take the same chances as others. We do net intend this as an attack upon the bar of Georgia. We blame them not for having bills passed for their benefit. It is human nature. But we do censure the Legislature of Georgia for making such discriminating laws. Atlanta Post:, As the two young Mr. Harpers were returning from church ou last Saturday tiieji were assaulted by a drunken mob at a cross-road’s grocery, and badly cut by some parties named Mobley. No cause can bo assigned for the attack on the Harpers, only the drunkenness of the assaulting party. The latest account from the Harpers is that the life of one of them is despaired of. Oglethorpe Echo: We are glad to learn that our cotton crop is turning out much better tlian expected. Fields that were once considered about cleaned out arc white again. About as much will be made iu our county this year as last. Some farmers Will be picking Christmas if they don’t improve In industry- The best field of upland cotton we have seen is on Mr. Smith’s place, and every sack of guano be uses makes him a bale. Houston Home Journal: Mr. William Oglesby, of this county, tho well-known Confederate soldier who lost both of liis eyes aud both hands, by the explosion of a bomb-shell, died at his residence near Uayncviiie last Monday morning. He leaves a wife and several children. Savannah News: Two gentlemen re quiring the services of a notary public, a day or two since,to witness a paper for them, and being in the vicinity of a notary’s of fice in tho eastern portion of the city, dropped iu. On entering they saw a col ored man only, and asked him: “Have you a notary in the office?” Tbe colored citizen replied: “Don’t know, sir, but I will look and see.” Greatly to their amusement, he began ransacking a lot of legal blanks and forms in the office, and alter a close examination looked up at the gentlemen and remarked, in a very know ing and disappointed tone: “Very sorry, hut we are just out.” The gentlemen, ex pressing their regret, retired quickly to conceal their feelings, and stopped to “smile” a few streets below. Atlanta Constitution: We regret to leant oi the death of Captain Thomas C. Jackson, which occurred last week. Cap- lain Jackson came to Atlanta from Ten nessee years before the war. In 1861, he enlisted in the famous Gate City Guard, under the command of Major Harvey Thompson, and under that gallant officer did fine service in Virginia. He was in the terrible “Laurel Hill retreat,” when “our guard” suffered so severely, and throughout the entire war this veteran re mained in the Confederate army with great credit to himself, being perhaps one of the finest skinuisliers and sharpshooters on the line. Aud thus has passed away an honest, brave old “Johnny R»b,” who while he had his faults, was in his time a gallant soldier, and all his life an honest man. Captain Jackson died at his father’s home in Versailles, Tenn. He was sud denly called home to witness his aged father’s death oaly a few weeks ago, and was himself stricken down. He leaves a wife, the niece ot our esteemed fellow- townsmen, Major A. Leydon and Dr. N. L. Angler. Atlanta Post: About two miles cast of Jonesboro lived Mr. U. J. Moore, a well-to-do farmer of about sixty flrqars of age. He was at one time a magistrate, and was known among his neighbors by tho soubriquet of “Judge,’’that being al so his middle name. He was a quiet and peaceable citizen, who was respected and loved by the entire community. On yes terday Judge Moore hitched up his team, and, with the assistance of a negro, loaded two bales of cotton, and drove to Jones boro to sell them. He disposed of the cotton to Mr. W. B. Stewart, and meeting the negro Betts, attempted to settle with him for some work done. The negro de manded a larger amount than Mr. Moore was willing to pay, and there were some words, and au evident feeliug ofbltter- ncss on the part of tbe negro. He paid the negro, it is stated, a small sum, and then started home. This was about three o’clock. Driving leisurely, he had no suspicion of impending danger. But it appears that Tom Betts baa murder in liis heart, and shortly after Judge Moore left town, Betts started out iu tbe same direction. It is thought that Betts fol lowed the wagon with the intent of theft. But not overtaking the wagon he shoul dered a rail maul which he found near the road on Judgo Moore’s place, and went on to the house. As Betts {approached the bouse Judge Moore had driven into his barn yard and was getting out of his wagon, lie Us walked in through the gate, aud when he reached the wagon tbs old gentleman com menced to unhitch the team. Betts, with the maul in his baud, sprang at the old gentleman aud dealt him a blow on the head. The weight of the weapon, wielded in such strong hands, crushed tho victim to the earth as if a tree had fallen on him. Betts then proceeded to rifle the pockets of the dying man, finding about $130, aud walked over to the house where a colored man named Worrill lives. He appeared to be intoxicated and boasted that he had settled with old man Moore. In a few minutes lie dropped some words about having beaten the life out, etc., which alarmed Worrill, and he at once started over to Judge Moore’s house, Betts in the meantime going across the fields towards Jonesboro. He told Mrs. Moore what he had heard Betts say, and she, having heard the wagon driven into the barnyard, went out to see what kept her husband from coming in to din ner. Seeing the wagon and liorse3 pirtly unhitched, she went closer and fouud tiie warm body of tier murdered husband. Her cries soon brought her daughter, the only other member of tbe family, and the negro Worrill. While the two women were giving vent to their anguish over the horrible visitation of death, Worrill start ed off to follow Betts. Sheriff Archer com ing along in his buggy, took Worrill in, and they together started to Jonesboro to overtake the murderer. They caught him just as he came out of the woods near the town. When he saw them lie threw away the money, which they gathered up, tits amount of $134.23. •' Betts was lodged in jail.

Darien Gazette: Timber has qom- menced to bqom, and it is going‘to con tinue to boom right along.

The following letter explains itself: Nhw York, October 21,1880. Mr. E. 11. Richards: Dear Sir—Wc have your letter enclosing circular of Sept. 28, ’80, relative to a fair to be held in your city on the 25th Inst., in aid of the Floyd Rifles. As we have many friends in your city, we take pleasure in sending you a small token of our esteem. Hoping that all traces of the struggle, between North and South, iu 1 which the Floyd Rifles bore so gallant a part, will soon be torever obliterated, we wish you success, and remain, yours very truly, E. A. LeRoy, President. Don’t fail to visit the stand of the Sterling Baking Powder and see them make biscuit, waffles, cake, &c. Ourpco- ple are speaking m highest terms or it, and it certainly deserves patronage. Last night our sanctum was invaded by two white aproned, sable bued spirits, one bearing a giant waiter oi edibles, the other armed and equipped with drinka bles, all tokens of remembrance from the ladies, for which wc make our most grace ful acknowledgments. Tho repast was sufficiently tempting, to have charmed the fabled gods, much less a modem pencil driver, to whom sucli nectar is as the dew upon Mt. Hcrmon, refreshing, but unat tainable generally. Tramp*. We issued a prose poem a few weeks since, when the swallows took their departure for warmer climes, and had something to say concerning tho disappearance of the bullbat, but we have just struck an emi grating subject, that has no poetry in him whatever. We refer to tho peripa tetic tramp, now present In this city by a large majority. Ten of him slept at tho barracks last night, and the balance crowded under tho covering found to be most conveniently disposed. What be comes of him is a conundrum at which wc can only wildly guess; he always appears to be bound for Florida, if ono may judge of destination by direction, but what in the world he can live on in Florida, wc cannot imagine. It may bo that he is Jowell’a Florida voter, whose ocean route having been discovered, contract compels to reach the doubtful Stato by Novem ber 2 any way lie can. There Is a fiis- cination to some people about a man who has no home, friends or money, but the fascination is generally a dangerous ono. It is safest to regard tho tramp as a man bound to make a living somehow, and to keep the front door shut and let him make it out of your neighbors. lb* Nf« Thuradsjr Konlaf.

TERRIBLY BURNED. Sirs. R. E. Park Dangerously Injured by an Upset Lamp. Night before last an accident occurred to Mrs. R. E. Park, living on tiie Hill, by which she was painfully and dangerously injured. At an early hour in the evening she upset a keroskne lamp which stood upon a small table near at hand, and re ceived the burning contents upon lier neck aud shoulders. A servant girl, hearing her screams ran, in and succeeded in ex tinguishing the flames, but not until the unfortunate lady was horribly burned about the neck. Dr. Fitzgerald was called in, and did everything in his power to al leviate hersufferings, until Dr. Dunwody, the family physician, arrived. The burns about the neck are exceedingly severe, and tjje sufferer now lies m a dangerous con^iyp. Sirs. Pat k. is tbe daughter of Geueiaf Wm. S. Holt, aud the wife of Captain R. E. l’crk. As may bo supposed her family are almost crazed with grief. HOMICIDE AT LEESBURG. Mr. John Cnllnwny Kills Ex-Senntor Iznao P. Tliton. Yesterday wo meutloued tho rumor which came by the evening train, llict Mr. John Callaway, formerly of this city, had killed a man by the name of Tison in Leesburg. Further particulars could not at that time be obtained, but from pas sengers to-day wc learn the following: It seems that Tison entered Callaway’s store during his absence and raised a row, but was carried off. Callaway went to see Tison about it, and was fired upon by tbe latter, who followed os ho fired until Callaway had reached his place of busi ness. Tison theu went off and secured his Winchester repeating rifle and laid siege to tho building. While seeking an entrance, ho wa3 met by the contents of a double-barrel shot-gun and almost in stantly killed. A telegram to tho Savan nah News, from Albany, says: Albany, Go., October 28.—Isaac P. Ti son, cx-Scnator of this district, was killed by John P. Callaway, at Leesburg, last night. It is rumored that Tison was in toxicated In Cal.away’a store, creating a disturbance, when Callaway ordered him to stop. Tison became enraged and cursed and abused Callaway, also draw ing a pistol on him. Tison was taken out, but returned with a Winchester rifle and fired Into Callaway’s door, which had been closed, saying lie intended to get in anyhow. Callaway, it is claimed, then shot Tison with a doublc-burcled shot gun. Callaway, fearing fori is life, fled. Tho tragedy in which a Macon young man figured so prominently is thus de- cribedby the Albany News and Adver tiser: Messrs. Tison and Callaway were both merchants in Leesburg, tho former being interested in two or perhaps three stores In this place. It seems that Mr. Tison was greatly under the influence of liquor on Wednesday night, and went to tiie store of Mr. Callaway and raised a dis turbance, shooting off his pistol id the house and making himself disagreeable generally. Mr. Callaway waa not in the store at the time, hut was attcuding a po litical meeting at the court bouse. Be ing unable to quiet Mr. Tison, and fearing trouble, Mr. T. J. Mason, the clerk in the store, sent for Mr. Callaway, who soon arrived. When ho reached his store, however, Mr. Tison had left, having gone to bis sou’s store ou the other side of the street and railroad. Upon learning what had transpired during his absence, Mr. Callaway went over to where Mr. Ti son was, and asked llte latter what he meant by shooting off his pistol, and rais ing such a disturbance m his store. Mr. Tison made uo apology or satisfactory ex planation of his conduct, but asked Mr. Callaway what he proposed to do about it. As to what followed right here there i3 a conflict in the statements that are made. It b said by one of the witnesses that Mr. Callaway started to draw his pistol, when Mr. Tison, with more dex terity, drew his pistol and got “tbe drop” on Callaway, when the latter retreated. Anolh. x statement Is that Callaway bad no pistol, or that lie did not draw it. All agree, however, that Cail&way retreated, and went hack to his store. It apjicars that when Callaway return ed to his store he entered and locked the door, ills clerk, Mason, and another man, Jno. A. Webb, being Jin the house with him. Tison, following Callaway, soon knocked at the door. Finding it locked, he commenced trying to enter by violence. Failing to break the door down, he open, ed fire on it with a pistol. Not being satisfied witli this, lie either went or sent to ids son’s store and got a Henry rifle, “nd with this, fired one or two balls ! through the doou There are also marks 1 on the door which show that tiie muzzle 1 Mr. Tison, an<£the sheriff waa sent for, and when h< plapfe found Mr. Tisou There were two or three specimens of country hams aud ba<x>n.

Mr. -gaiter at. onoe- took hold of nun aud trie^to lend him avay, hut what ' followed shows that he did not succeed. Just here we are met by conflicting state ments again. Mr. Salter, assisted by some one else, it seems, got Mr. Tison away from |hc %out door. Tbe front door of the a tore opens, on the street on the west at this, fair set at naught all quibbling as side of tbe railroad, and the back opens ’ — -r _•— — ■ ■ - into a cotton patch which surrounds the rear. The next that we hear of Mr. Tison after be was led away from the front door; he is pushing rails otl tiie fence and raak- ing his Way to the rear door. He evi dently thought that Callaway was still in the store, as did also Mr. Waiter and the other friends who were with him, but it seems that -Callaway had passed out through tiie baek door and was either in tbe fence comer about ten or fifteen yards from tiie rear of the house, or just over tbe fence In his yard. v ‘ l In approaching the rear door from the point where lie crossed the fence, Tison was also advancing towards where Calla way, or whoever fired tho fatal shot, was evidently standing, as is shown by the range or the shot through the lopj of the cotton stalks. It appears that Mr. Salter and another man had hold of Mr. Tison when he shot, and that one or two others were near by, Mr. Ed Floyd, one of Mr. Tison’s clerks, being near enough to receive a shot in his hat. One report says that it was Mr. John Haines, one of Sir. Tison’s clerks, who had hold of him with Mr. Salter, and another says that- it was Mr. Tiaon’s son. Be this »s may, Mr. Tison had approached within a few feet of the back door, when a gun fired from the position already pointed out. Mr. Tison staggered hack and said, “Boys, he lias killed me.” These were his last words. Those who had hold of him eased him to the grouud, and he was a dead man iu a few minutes. The nature and locality of tbe fatal charge is fully described in the test!mouy of witnesses printed below. It will also be seen that it is in evidence that Mr. J. P. Callaway fired the fetal shot. Americas fair. Americus, October 2Stb, 1880. ,* Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The fair lias thus far been successful. On yes terday neither tho crowd nor tho exhibit were what they ought to have besn. To day everything is placed iu better shape and so arranged as to impress tho visitor with both the quality and quantity. The crowd is the largest ever known on the grouud except at one time. I am now writing at midday. Tho appearance of tha crowd indicates both Intelligence and prosperity. There are more new buggies and carriages and harness than has been seen in old Sumter in many a day. The people are well dressed, well behaved and cheerful. I have met with but ono croaker, since my arrival. And why should a peo ple feel despondent, when they have made better crops iu all branches than ever be fore, and uuiformlv have disposed of their products at living prices? Through tho courtesy of President Windsor, I was carried out to the grounds about nine o’clock. After a general round, I commenced a more minute in vestigation. In tbe main hall, I first enumerated the fioral display. It wa3 ex cellent, although not quite so extensive, as at some other points. It embraced some oi the rarest plants and flowers, and does great credit to the enterprising ladies who have so artistically arranged the display. The merchants’ displays were good, but not as attractive as they might have been. Among those making exhibits, I noticed the enterprising firm of Bcmd Bro’s., Ma con, Messrs. J. It. Shaw, A. J. Buchanan, S. w. Sheffield, James Ficlier, and the Davenports. Tiie children of the public school made a fine exhibit of specimens of penman ship. _ There was also in this department a variety of pictures of different grade and merit. One of the most attractive objects was the suit of clothes worn by Hon. W. H. Crawford, when ho was United States minister to France, at the court levees of tiie great Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1814. Its antique style, and elaborate ornamentation made it quite a study to the curious. Mrs. J. C. Roney, of Americus, had on exhibition a fine cluster of Sumter county sweet oranges, raised in the open air. Stc had also 08 entries of wines, jellies, pre serves, etc. This was one of the finest displays in the hall. Mrs. Noy had 00 en tries in the same department. There were several other collections in this depart ment that are entitled to special notice. Miss Addie and Miss Mollie Willet had the largest and most attractive display of needle and fancy work. A morning dress of the most elaborate pattern claimed the attention of every passer-by,' as well as tho pillow shams and crochet shawl. They are ladies of taste as well as of intelli gence. My time is so limited that I cannot con tinue to personate at length, but will have more to^ay on to-morrow. Wlille I write, Cutts’ battalion are en joying their reunion at the fair ground. Quite a number are present, and a good time will be realized by the participants. Tho hotels are full, not a bed or even a chair can be had to sleep on. Tho bil liard tables were crowded with weary and sleeping men. When 1 arrive at the Bar- low House, I hope to find quarters to night. Jack Plane. Americus, Ga., October 28,1SS0. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The afternoon was devoted to further exatuiu ation. The crowd increased, as the clouds lightened, and we have had on tbe grouud over 2,000 people to-day. This was to be styled tho citizens’ day. An effort was made to close up all the stores, and let everybody go to the grounds, but, as lu alt such laudable enterprises, it was only partially observed. Everything passed off quietly and Satisfactorily. In the fancy work department, Miss Alice Hay had an extensive aud bcauti-’ fuldisplay. Mrs. Windsor had a case of elegant needle work. So, also, Mrs. Hol loway, a flue display in this department. There was a children’s display Iu this line, also, which was very creditable. Mrs. Elam, had a combination display on the first floor. There were some sp.'en- did hot bouso plauts, a moss house artis tically wrought, and some of tbe finest specimens of uesdle aud crochet work ou the ground. In the domestic department, aside from those already noticed, Misses Davenport had au elegant^ assortment, as did also Mrs. Littleton. Mr. Willet had specimens of wine from seven varieties of tbe black scuppernong grape. One bottle was splen did, at all events; as to the others I can not say, as I had no personal contact with them. This department, while the arti cles exhibited were excellent in the main, foil far below what It should have been, in the number of exhibits as well as arti cles. It ought to have been twice as ex tensive. The good ladies of that section ought to look well to this department if they expect to make these annual exposi tions attractive. Tho display of bread and cakes was good, and reflected credit upon those who manipulated the yeast and the dough, as well as those who watched tho stove dur ing the process of cooking. The vegetable display was very limited. Some well assorted collections were cred itable, but there ought to have been more and better varieties. These remarks will apply as appropriately to the agricultural department. It seems that but few per sons took any peisonal interest in this matter. It is the iuore the shame, for they made good crops and could, by co-operation witli the authorities of of the fair association, have made a magnificent display. Instead of this en couragement being ext-mded, I heard sev- uira appetite, and a ripe old age are sonu e: al condcmmhg the exhibition because of of tiie result of the use of Dr Tutt’s it* meagreness: When questioned they I Pills.

He hadTfive bales of hay of different grasses, ami I name them in the order that bis experi ence teaches -as best: Lucerne, vetch, German millet, Hungarian millet, crab- grass and burr clover. He lias raised ail of these successfully, and these speci mens were the entertainment of every • farmer that visited the .hall. A gentleman from Illinois was struck with the common crabgrass hay, aud after examining it, said it was equal to any hay cultivated iu the West, and said that Southern Georgia could be made one of the finest bay sec tions in the Union, Tho oat and wheat crop specimens were very limited, but good, There was one sack of upland rice, and it looked well. Several persons are experimenting as to its cultivation here, and this specimen would indicate that it Is certainly a suc cess. The races and the stock I must leave for another letter. Also the notice of Cutts’ Battalion. The most exciting exhibition was the baby show. I did not get to see it, but was introduced to tbe victor, Miss Mattie Rose Burke, daughter of Mr. Frank Burke, cashier of the First National Bauk of Americus. She is a sweet blue-eyed .charmer, and no doubt justly deserved the prize, notwithstanding the difference of opinion held by tiie mothers of the other children. The prize was a silver knife and fork, spoon and napkin ring of elegant pattern.. There arc several Macon people here. The young ladies are represented by Miss Mamie Clisby and Miss Carrie Butts. Messrs. A. L. Butts, Lewis Lehman Tbos. II. Johnson, J. J. Clay,.Danenberg aud King, represent tiie business men. It is now raining, and the weather Is unpropltious. Bill Arp is here, but the rain will greatly interfere with his speak ing to-night, ^ Jack Plane. Americus, October 29,1880. •The rain commenced last night and has continued at intervals up to this morning, and instead of going to the fair grounds I leave for home. What has taken place to day I know not, but I resume my notes of yesterday. One of the most hopeful signs which I see upon tho grounds is the large number of colts. Their quality Is superior and evidences the fact that Georgia fanners can raise their own stock, aud stock better adapted to this section than any that can be imported. They have no acclimating process to pass through. I saw some as fine mules, Georgia raised, as those that come from Kentucky. One gentleman, whose name I did not learn, who lives ou the edge of Webster, had a lot of young 3tock that would compare with stock any where. A few such men as this one aud Col. L. M. Felton, of Macon county, to raise the stock, and a few such as Col. T. M. Furlow to raise the forage, and south west Georgia would have a source of rev enue that would startle some of the old croakers who are constantly bemoaning their inability to do such things. Col. L. M. Felton, who belongs to the Marshallvilie Agricultural Club, had on exhibition three blooded colts, one, two and three years old. They were sired by the celebrated stallion, Jim Hill, with the Denmark blood on the other side. For symmetry of form aud neatness of limb, they were perfect beauties. Their move ment was splendid, and they were the ad miration of everybody that passed. There were other splendid colts, but after re peated efforts I failed to learn tbe names of their owners. They seemed to think it was none of my business who owned them. Mr- Walker, another member of the Marshallvilie Agricultural Club, had on exhibition a bay mare and colt. There was nothing elegant as to appearance, but there was a good deal in her ability to work. Sho had ploughed all the season, and as a result of her labor, Mr. Walker had already gathered and ginned thirteen bags of cojtou, and he would gather five more, making eighteen. In my wanderings over the grounds, I came nest to the cattle. Rev. J. W. Jordan had two Jersey cows, Miunic Colquitt and Nettie Norwood, and, strange to say, that when the judges came to bestow the blue ribbon, they piaccd It on Minnie as being tiie better. U. Harral bad a splendid ohe-year old Jersey bull; J. W. Wh'eatly a Durham bull. A11 ol these were splen did animals, and were entitled to the blue ribbons. There were some excellent Devon and Durham cows on exhibition. P Somebody, I did not learn who, bad on exhibition two Cotswsld sheep. On the buck, the wool by actual measurement was 28 inches long. They were brought from Kentucky, aud look a premium at a fair in that Slate. There were other sheep on exhibition, but were not so fine as these. The hog display was not so good, al though Mri A P. Bell had a pen of splen did Berkshires, that would have done credit anywhere. More attention in this department ought to bo given. The collection of agricultural imple ments was very limited. The more im portant was a plow, that is said to be bet ter adapted to the section than any other, and King’s improved cotton planter, now manufactured iu Macon. These are the only two implements I heard spoken of iu any terms of praise. There were a tew others there. Messrs. Harral & John son had on exhibition a Hall gin, which is a self-feeder and condenser. It did el egant work, and will no doubt become a very popular gin in all that section. 1 saw but little of the races, aud can form no judgment a3 to their merits. I witnessed but one, and that was between Barney Wilkes aud Minnie Tilden, in wbiclt the latter won. Both horses be longed to tbe saute owner, I aut informed. One or two persons expressed themselves as being disappointed iu the races. The horses were not numerous, and the track in cousequence of the weather was very heavy. The propriety oi couneclinghorse-raciug with agricultural fairs is a ouestiou about which there is a great diversity of opinion. My own judgment, after several years of observation, is, that they are of no practi cal advantage to an agricultural exhibi tion. I know other and wiser men differ wjtli me. I offer just one illustration: When such prominence is given to the track, both in the general enthusiasm and in premiums, the farmers become discour aged and disgusted with tiie pretension made. Instead of encouraging and giving prominence to that which is legitimately agricultural, aud that which will benefit the community, tiie whole influence of the exhibition Is given to racing, and ibeieby encouraging (whether intended or not) betting and gambling. Let the races stand upon their own merit and tbe agricultural display upon its merit, aud, if either will not pay, let them be abandoned. The weather Las so greatly interfered with the fair, some express doubts as to a iinancial success, still 1 hope they will come out ail right in this matter. They deserve^ success. The authorities have done all they could to achieve it. I am under obligations to them for courtesies, and also to Capt. Frank Hill, of the Re corder, and Mr. Turner, the telegraph op erator in Americus. 1 was asked to give my honest convic tions of the fair and its exhibits. This £ have tried to do, to the best of my abiiitv. These letters. I know will not please ail, in fact, may not please any, cut the opin ions are honest, nevertheless. Jack Plane.
