On Christmas nigbt a number of ne
groes got into a roar at Surrency, No. 0,
Macon and Brunswick Railroad, and a
lively fight resulted. Six of the partici
pants were shot, three having been badly
and the others slightly wounded. They
were all said to havo been under the in
fluence of liquor, but the origin of the
difficulty is not known.
At No. 6, Macon and Brunswick Rail
road, near Brentwood, John Bennett and
L. M. Aspiawall became involved in a
difficulty on Christmas night, while under
the influence of liquor, and Aspinwall
was shot by Bennett m the forehead. The
shot, though painful,is not dangerous. We
learn that the community are very much
down on Bennett, and denounce his act
as cowardly.
Wit. REILLY, who was cut by Edward
Decker in Savannah on Christmas eve,

The wound is not fatal.
Atlanta Constitution: Monday night
at a late hour the attention of the watch
man in the Air-Line yard was attracted
by the shouts of a man, and on making a
search lie discovered Aleck Mayfield, a
negro, fastened up In the fire-box of a lo
comotive, which had just come in on the
Air-Line. He had crawled into the fire
box at Flowery Branch and closed the
door after him, fastening himself in a
place from which he could not escape.
AUOCSTA Chronicle: Before Judge
Claiborne Snead yesterday in chambers,
as chancellor, a very interesting rase in
equity was taken up. It is a bill filed by
Rev. W. H. Harrison, as executor of Mrs.
Harrison’s estate, asking for direction liow
to manage the estate, and also for an in
junction to restrain creditore witli judg
ment liens from levying the same until
such direction is given. J. C. Warner,
trustee, and numerous other creditors of
Hasleton & Harrison and W. H. Harri
son, Jr., ask, on the other baud, for the
appointment or a r-n I.or.
Dublin Gazette: Last Monday night, in
the lower edge of Johnson county, three
drunken desperadoes were guilty of con
duct such aa deserves the censure of all
good people, the dlsgust'of bad and the
punishment of the law iu its severest
terms. The exact number is not known,
hut is supposed there were three. While
Intoxicated they blockaded the roads in
several places by building a fence across,
tore the gates away in front of dwellings,
tore up lour or five planks in different
places at Mason’s bridge, where the creek
was very high and swimming; and last,
hat most disgraceful of all, went to a
church—the sacred sanctuary of God—
and tore ofl two or three windows and a
door. The parties who acted so disgrace
fully are not positively known, but sus
picion points directly at the perpetrators,
and it will most certainly receirc legal
jnvcstigation. The good people oi John
son are greatly Incensed at the act.
A special dispatch to the Constitution
from Ainerlcus of the 29th Inst, says: Juo.
H. Brake, a farmer, residing in the wes
tern portion of the Sumter, was shot and
almost instantly killed by W. R. Stovall
last night. Stovall had spent the day in
town, and ujioii liis return home found
that a negro who had been in his employ
ment had hired himself to Brake, aud re
moved to the farm of the latter, lie went
over to Brake’s, accompanied by a negro
'•’An. At Brake’s an altercation occurred,
-uring which Stovall fired two shots at
at Brake. The first shot missed the mark
and struck Stovall’s colored companion in
the thigh, indicting a severe wound; the
aecond struck Brake in the breast and
killed him. Stovall took the wounded
negro In the buggy with him aud fled.
The tragedy created great excitement in
the neighborhood.
Atlanta Post: The President having
signed the bill allowing the erection of a
bridge over the St. Mary’s river, the com-
pletioi. o: the Wayctoss and Jacksonville
railroad will be pushed ahead with re
newed vigor. With steel rails and a solid
road-bed this new route will give the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western railway a
short cut to Jacksonville, and make that
the great through line of travel from the
North and West to the fair and sunny
land of Florida.
Columbus EnquirerAbout 10 o’clock
last night a negro came to police head
quarters and reported that Jim Hill, col
ored, had been badly burned at the wharf.
A reporter went to the spot and found the
poor fellow suffering the agonies oftbe
damned. Some time ago be was scalded
at Sample's mill at the time of the boiler
explosion, and since been subject to fits.
Having no friends or money he found
shelter where he could and begged his
bread. Recently he has been sleeping in
the old bull of the Holt, which is lying on
the wharf. Last night a good hearted old
womau went down to carry him some
supper, and found him lying near the fire,
a portion of his clothes still in flames. She
extinguished the fire and ran to the steam
er Everingham for assistance. Several of
the hands carried him near the boat and
did all possible for him, while a messen
ger went for a physician. His bead and
Tight side of the face are terribly burned,
the right eye being entirely ont. The
right breast, shoulder and arm are In a
terrible condition, the arm being burned
almoettothe bone. Dr. Jolinston, city
physician, was sent for, and bad him re
moved uxjiio hospital. It is thought he
cannot recover.
Atlanta Post-Appeal: Yesterday a
young inau who is a clerk lu a large dry
goods store in our efty, was out in towu
exercising himself for a while out in the
suburbs, osteuiibly, we suppose, for the
dual purpose of sight-seeing and the im
provement ofhis health ; and having de
layed his return till he became anxious to
make a hasty return to the store, lie jumped
aboard of an incoming train and rode up
to tbe car shed. But Instead of making a
bee line for his place of business, he was
met by a brace of policemen, who were on
the lookout for a man who had stolen some
money in a sister city, and thinking they
had the right man, took htm to jail, which
trouble our young man might have saved
hhuaelf had be only asked tbe officers to
accompany him to the store of his employ
ers, that they might identify him and sat-
iify the cops that they bad got bold of
the wrong man. It was merely a case of
mistaken identity, and as soon as our
health and pleasure-seeking youth sent for
some of his friends, who came and identi
fied him, he was released, and went on
his way a wiser and happier man, and no
donbe'will mind his P’s aud Q’s sharper

Albany JSlews and Adtcrtiser: On
Christmas nigbt the residence on Mr. J.
Hatcher’s place, formerly known as the
Aarcu Jones’ place, nine miles west of
Albany, was entirely destroyed by fire.
The bouse was occupied by Mr. B. E.
Powell, superintendent of tbe plantation.
It was t large building, two stones and
basement, with nine rooms. Iu onginal
cost of building was $5,000. The insurance
on the bouse was for only $1,200, and
the Columbus Mississippi Company, rep
resented by Mean. E. L. Wright & Co.,
bean this loss. The fire is supposed to
have been accidental, and first caught on
th Tfl* > HoH. IL W. Hollaed.—Colom
bo, limes: An exchange says: ‘-Tho rep
resentative* of the slave-owning interest
in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies are
iudisusui that United States Minister Hil
liard should have attended an anti-slavery
banquet at Rio Janeiro recently. The
president of the Chamber, iu reply to the ' that Mr. Clark has been offered a position

sympathy with tbe agitation so long as it
acted within the law.” If Mr. Hilliard
manages this little matter with his usual
skill, it will go a long way toward secur
ing his re-appointment to theplacehe now
holds, if he wanu it. A little persecution
for the nesro’s sake is a strong card at
Washington, although the negroes may he
in Brazil.
Albany News and Advertiser: Wheth
er or not the recent failure in our city has
anything to do with the present commo
tion among the colored people, it is a fact,
nevertheless, that many of them appear to
be unsettled in their places for another
year, and there is an abundant supply of
labor, willing to hire for another year.
The roads of the county are lined with
wagons, moving people from one planta
tion to another. We have never witnessed
so much moving since ’(S5 and ’G8, when
everything was in an uusettled condition.
A great niauy colored people in this sec
tion have been in the liaiii’ of planting on
their own account. They would get tbe
warehousemen to accept for them, give
mortgage upon crop and mule, and risk
chances on result. The experience of
the past will probably stop such accom
modations on the part of warehousemen,
and it seems the colored man will again
have to return to labor under white man
agement.
The snow has stopped the street cars In
Atlanta, and the Constitution gets up a
blow over it, just as If It wasn’t cold
already.
Riciiabdson, of the Nietos, was mad
because they didn’t have any suow in Sa
vannah. He couldn’t publish an original
contribution he has had on handsome
time, entitled “The Beautiful Snow,”
and he will never forgive Harris, of the
Atlanta Constitution, for overreaching
him in this matter. Tbe Constitution
man swears he wrote it, and has been
carrying it in his breeches pocket anti! it
lias become “frozened over” and so soiled
that Dora Shaw herself, however naughty
she may have acted, would have never
recognized it as the original. The poem
appeared in the Constitution of the
30tli.
Tue new desk for the post-office In Co
lumbus was destroyed in the general
smash up on the Air-Line Railroad near
Charlotte, North Carolina, last week. Al
so two boxes of presents for the versatile
Matt O'Brien, of Columbus. Matt said
he didn’t care about the presents bat he
would like to have seen what kiud of
boxes they^verc sent in.
The Columbus Enquirer is surprised
at the Telegraph for not appreciating
the “Revelers,” and excuses it on the
ground that tastes differ. Columbus did
not liko Mrs. Oats, but she was very pop
ular in Macon. We always prefer oats to
midnight revels. There is something in
the uame of Revelers that charms the En
quirer man.
Columbus Times: Yesterday the fur
nace at the college was healed up with
anthracite coal and the heat was so great
that the grating melted and the bottom
dropped out. In consequence, Mr. Key
informs us that Prof. Glenn will suspend
hi3 school for tbe balance of the week.
He will have to send North to have the
parts replaced, which will require several
days.
Columbia Advertiser: Eight hales of
cotton were discovered ou fire Friday
morning last, on tbe depot platform, just
in time to prevent, probably, the destruc
tion of tbe entire business portion of Har
lem. As it happened, though, not a great
deal of damage was done, as the cotton
was speedily removed from the platform
and the fire extinguished. The tire orig
inated from the popping of a cap in a toy-
pistol, in the hands of a little boy who
was at the time near the cotton. It was
purely accidental, of course, but it adds
one more to the already long list of seri
ous accidents caused by this dangerous
toy, aud parents should prevent tlieir
children from using them. Five of tbe
bales belonged to M. B. Hatcher.
Atlanta Post: Major Cook, of the
station house, says that the treeze in At
lanta since yesterday morning is the most
severe that has been known in Atlanta
for fifty years. The Major says he has
been iu, or within one hundred miles of
Atlanta every winter for fifty years, and
he knows that there has not been so hard
a freeze as the present one.
A dispatch to the Savannah News
from Warrenton, of December 20th, says:
The Grand Division of the Sons of Tem
perance of Georgia met hero this morning.
The division was received at a public
meeting .at the Baptist church. An ad
dress of welcome was delivered by Judge
Pottle. It was responded to by J. B. G.
O’Neill, aud was followed by an address
by P. W. P., C. O. Lamotte. A new
division of the Sons of Temperance and a
lodge of Good Templars were organized.
The loliowing grand officers were elected

O’Neill, G. Scribe; H. W. Dennis, G. T.;
T. N. Pool, Chaplain; E. H. Williamson,
G. C.; W. B. Mell, G. S.; C. O. Lamotte
and T. N. Pool, Grand Lecturers. The
Southern Templar, of Atlanta, was adopt
ed as the organ of the division. The
officers were duly installed, as also were
the officers or the newly organized divis
ion. The meeting was an extremely
profitable one, and the hospitality ot the
citizens was generous and abundant. Sa
vannah was selected as tbe next place of
meeting, on December 20th, next.
Columbus Enquirer: Early yesterday
morning an accident occurred on the
Vicksburg and Brunswick. Tbe Ciayton
bound train, when about sixteen miles
from Eufauls, jumped the trsck and rolled
down an embankment. Tbe fireman,
Loss Watts, colored, wss killed and three
freight cars and tlie engine wrecked. No
one else was hurt.
Columbus Times: Miss N.E.McBride,
of Chattahoochee county, died on Tues
day niglit last. She was stricken with
paralysis five weeks ago, aud has been
gradually sinking till death relieved her
of all her suffering. She was a good and
noble woman and consistent Christian,
aud iter death will be deeply regretted by
those who knew her. She was a sister to
Mrs. M. J. Wardlaw and of Dr. M. C.
Wardlaw. Her age was about seventy
years. The remains will be interred in
the McBride family burying ground, some
ten or twelve miles southeast .of the city,
tnis morning at 11 o’clock.
Savannah News: Rev. Robert Mac
Doncil, of Savannah, and Miss Tochie
Williams, the only daughter of Professor
W. D. Williams, principal of tbe Blind
Academy, of Macon, were married at tbe
residence of tbe bride’s father, on Tues
day evening. The groom is under ap
pointment as missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South to the City of
Mexico, and the young couple will leave
for their distant home early in January.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
A. M. Williams, brother of the bride, as
slated by Rev. G. G. N. MacDonell, the
father of the groom.
The bride and groom arrived here yes
terday by tlie Central railroad and re
ceived tbe congratulatloaa of their many
friends. They will remain here about a
week, return to Macon for a few days,
and then proceed to their new home in
Mexico.
Atlanta Constitution: The Georgia
Railroad Commissioners were only a little
in advance of tbe times when they cut
down passenger fares to three cent#. Rail
roads in other Southern States are cut
ting down local fare to make them corres
pond with similar fares on the Northern
roads. To-morrow tbe Kentucky Cen
tral will jotn the movement by a redac
tion from four to three cents a mile. It
peyt to do this.
Jkscp Sentinel: We are reliably In
formed that Mr. G. W. Haines, tbe agent
oftbe Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, has been assigned to duty at
Jacksonville; that each road will hereafter
have Its own warehouse agent, and
has labored faithfully from early mom
till late at night, often alone, and all the
work of the office upon bis hands, giving,
as far as we know, entire satisfaction to
the merchants of Jesup, and it is general
ly felt that it would have been to tbe in
terest of the railroad to bsvs promoted
Mr. C. to tbe position held by Mr.
Haynes.
Atlanta Post: It would puzzle
Philadelphia lawyer to get atdhe correct
census of Georgia from the vat lous con
flicting tables aud totals already given to
the public. There seems to be' a wide
margin between some of Gen. Walker’s
figures and those of his supervisors. It is
impossible to add up the sum totals aud
get the grand total correct from thorn.
Will Gen. Walker please send us by mall,
not by telegraph, a correct and reliable
return of the census of Geoigia ? Notbi ng
leas than this cau be relied on for public
reference.
The following two items from th»
Griffin Ninos show the character of their
holiday amusements:
It wss almost too’much to expect that
Christmas would be unmarked by any
deed of violence or crime. At any rate
Sam Fish and Dorse Smith, both colored,
for fear that; tbe holidays* would not be
sufficiently lively without the spilling of a
little warm blood, opened the fun ou Mon
day evening out on Poplar street, near
Williams’ blacksmith shop. After some
little scuffling, in which Smith was the
victor, Fish finding the fun growing mo
notonous, pulied out his knife and stabbed
his opponent iu the stomach—a cutting
stab— which literally disemboweled
Smith. Fisli was arrested soon after and
is now in jail awaiting'.be result of Smith
wound. Tbe latter is considered serious,
and may have a fatal result. Whisky.
The alarm of fire was given on Tues
day, caused by the burning of a negro
cabin ou the place of Mr. J. W. Corbin,
near this city. At the time of the fire
several small children were in the bouse,
the mother, who is the wife of Sam Fish,
whose Christmas exploit is related else
where, being absent. One of the children
was burnt to death and the others more
or less injured. It is thought one of them
will not recover. The fire originated iu
the negligence of leaving small children to
keep house.
Atlanta. Constitution: This morn
ing the Constitution is called upon to an
nounce the sad dea’li of Dr. L. V. Sims,
which occurred yesterday morning at the
chain-gang headquarter*. Dr. Mims was
a young man of great talent, and hut for
his besetting sin would have been a man
of influence and distinction in any section
he might have chosen tor his home. Ho
was a thoroughly educated physician, and
it is said was as well read in his profession
as any man in Atlanta. He was an acad
emic graduate and possessed the sharpest
senso imaginable. His native state was
South Carolina. When tbe war broke
out he entered the Confederate army un
der General Wade Hampton, aud before
tbe end of tbe struggle succeeded in win
ning the confidence and esteem of the
South Carolina statesman. After the war
he located in Atlanta, and iu a short time
succeeded in securing a good practice, but
unfortunately whisky got the upper hand
and the promising young phisician
went to rack, and 'yesterday ended his
life in the city stockade. On Tuesday
morning Dr. Sims was before the record
er on two charges, and in default of
the payment of the fine imposed
was sent to the rock quarry. With
that generous, impulsive feeling that ac
tuates his every action, Recorder Milledge
brought the case to Mayor Calhoun’s at
tention and the fine was remitted and an
order for Dr. Sims’ release given. By
some means the order was not transmits d
until late In tlie evening, and the friends
of Dr. Sims neglected to attend his wants.
Yesterday morning early he was seized
with epileptic convulsions, dud although
medical aid was soon supplied, he died in
a short time. Soon after his death the
coroner was notified and an inquest was
held. Tbe jury said the deceased came
to his death from epileptic convulsions,
and the body was turned over to relations
for interment. And here ends the sad
life of one of the brightest members of
any profession that ever graced any city.
Savannah Recorder: On yesterday
morning Sackett was wrestling with Mr.
Hirsh bach, of tbe Planter’s Hotel, over tbe
rates to be charged his Two-lieaded Wo
man. Sackett wauted her charged as one
boarder, wnile Hirshback insisted on con
sidering her two separate persons.
“She’s got two mouths,” said Mr. Hirsh-
bach.
“But only one stomach,” replied Sack
ett. “Of course I don’t care so much- for
the expense; it’s the principle of the thing
I’m after. If you charge her double rates
people will say she is two womeu, and
consequently a fraud. I don’t want my
exhibition to be discredited in that way.”
“Two mouths to feed,” insisted Mr.
Hirshbach.
“Bat you overlook tbe one-stomach
proposition; bear that in mind. ‘Two
souls with but a single thought, two hearts
that beat as one.’”
This last remark was too much for the
landlord, and be charged her on his books
as one.
“I’ll do it this time,” he said, “to avoid
dispute, but in future these two-headed
people will be charged double rates. I
notice that two porterhouse steaks vanish
Into that two-headed female faster than
one gels into any other border; bull’ll
let it go this time.”
Two gentleman and one lady, while
skating on the pond near the brick yard
in Columbus, broke through the ice, and
with difficulty were rescued from a
watery grave.
A Mas. Pkvbheb, of Baxley, was shot
and dangerously wounded by her son in
law, BUI Young. This is one of the
misfortunes of mothers-in-law, whose
daughters have married men who
drink.
Yi’e regret to learn that Capl. H. L.
Davis, the gentlemanly clerk of the city
market In Savannah, was very seriously
injured In that city ou Friday by a fall,
dislocatiug a knee cap, and it la feared
fractured hla limb. On account of the
swelling and Inflammation when the phy
sician reached him it was Impossible
to ascertain the full extent of the in
jury. We hope it is not so serious as Is
anticipated.
The Savannahlans were not to be cheat
ed out of all tbe Ain,and tbe novel sight of
snowball battle on Weat Btoad street was
witnessed Thursday afternoon. Tbe snow
was gathered from the tope oftbe care
which arrived on tbe Central railroad.
Columbus Enquirer: Tbe snow has
indirectly been tbe esuse of the doatb of
s number of cows. It is generally know n
that eating evergreens is very poisonous
to them, and the snow so weighed down
the bushes snd trees that they hung over
the street iu easy reach of tbe cows. Yes
terday we beard of eight that bad died
from this cause, and perhaps there were
others in the city of which we did not
leant. The extreme cold weather, no
doubt, aided very much in hastening the
death oftbe cows, but our citizens cannot
be too cautious m seeing that no ever
greens around their premises are witbin
tbe reach of cattle and horses, as it is de
lightful provender for them, and in most
instances proves fatal.
The Savannah Nem mentions the fol
lowing sensible and timely sanitary move:
We understand that the board of sanitary
commissioners have determined to inau
gurate shortly a system of free vaccina
tion, which was so successfully carried
out in 18TT. There is not at present, and
has not been for the past three yesre and
more, a single case of smell-pox in tbe
city, but as a prudential measure, in view
of the fact that the disease prevails every
winter in tbe Northern cities, and there is
always danger of its introduction, snd “an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.” The exact plan oi carrying ont
the intention of the board has not yet
been decided upon, but will be announced
in a few days. A supply of vaccine of the
best quality has been secured, and fresh
supplies will be constantly received. This
action of the board will meet with the
hearty approbation of tbe communi:y,
snd the measure determined upon will be
regarded as au excellent sanitary move.
Augusta Chronicle: About 7 o’clock
Thursday morning Mr. Mulherin, assistant
city .engineer ana keeper of tbe pump,
opened tbe door of tbe reservoir near tbe
pump house, and stepped Inside. As be
put his feet on the floor, the planks,
which it seems were in a decayed condi
tion, gave way, precipitating him to tlie
bottom oi the cellar, a distance of eigh
teen feet. As he fell he struck against
two iron pipes, which cross tb» cavity of
tbe cellar beneath the tower. Mr. Mul-
herin’s cries for assistance attracted several
parties to tlie spot, and lie was extricated
as soon as possible. It was then found
that Ills right leg was broken at tlie knee,
and that he was also cut and bruised
about tbe face. Physicians were sum
moned, and it was found necessary to am
putate the wounded leg at tlie knee. Mr.
Mulherin was doing as well as could bp
expected last evening.
Atlanta Post-Appeal:: Dr. Atticus
G. Haygood’s thanksgiving sermon at Ox
ford has been published. In it the Rever
end Doctor says that the South is grate
ful for tlie abolition of slavery. This in
nocent side remark has excited no end of
wonder at the North, and it is amusing to
read the comments of Republican jour
nals.
The city authorities of Augusta have
increased the pay of the city officers and
increased the tax on the people. Tbe
News says: It is but justice to state that
the recent increase of pay voted to the
chief and two lieutenonts of police is
really a reduction of the salaries of those
officers ot at least $100 ayear each. Here
tofore they received certain perquisites,
but these having been withdrawn and a
stipulated salary ordered, leaves these
officers, as alove stated, an average of at
least $100 a year short of former pay. The
poor private on the police force is left to
guard the city, night and day, as usual,
with no Christmas present in bis stocking
in the shape of a small increase of pay.
Columbus Enquirer: The year 1881
will be a mathematical curiosity. From
right to left and left to right it leads the
same. Eighteen divided by by two gives
0 a quotient; 81 divided by 0 gives 0; if di
vided by 0 the quotient contains & 0; if
multiplied by 0 the quotient contains two
0s; 1 and 8 are 0; if tho 18 bo placed un
der the 81 and added the sum is 00. If
the figures be added thus: 1, 8, 8, 1, it
will give 18. Reading from left to right
it is IS, aud eighteen 11 two-ninths of 81.
By adding, dividing and multiplying 10
0s arc produced, being one 0 for each year
required to complete tho century.
Albany News and Advertiser: Mr.
W. .8. Humphreys, an attorney at Quit-
man, arrived in the city yesterday with a
pardon from the Governor for Sam Pryne
colored, who was a convict in one of
Lockett’s camps in this county for about
four years. Sam was convicted of beast-
iality in Brooks Superior Court, aud sen
tenced for life, but Mr. Humphreys has
finally succeeded ingettinghim pardoned,
a majority of the jury that convicted him
and the judge presiding being, we under

Columbus Times: Yesterday morning
the Macon train arrived here ono hour
and fifty minntes behind time, making no
connection at Opelika with the Atlanta
bound mall train aud the passenger train
due from Montgomery, due at Opelika at
9:35 a. in., did not arrive until 1:25 p. m.,
consequently no mail was received west
of Opelika till last night.
The Savannah and Memphis train ran
off the track Tuesday -evening about
eighteen miles beyond Opelika, aud up to
7 o’clock last night had not put in an ap
pearance. No mails by this ruuto re
ceived since Monday morning.
Col. W111. Wadiey and Messrs. Mclntire
and Flewellen returned from a trip over
tbe Savannah and Memphis road in their
private car, and passed through the city
yesterday ou their way home.
TnE Atlanta correspondent of the Co
lumbus Enquirer states that Capt. A.
Randolph, of Gainesville, a cousin of
Mrs. Garfield, will ho the next United
States marshal. The gentlemen referred
to Is Capt. Rudolph, not Randolph. Ho is
a native of Ohio, but has resided in Geor
gia for nearly thirty years, was a gallant
officer in tho Confederate army, and is a
thoroughly capable aud exceedingly pop
ular Gainesville merchant, as well a
staunch Democrat.
The Rome Courier, not a high pro
tective tariff advocate, takes a philosophi
cal view of the coal question, and presents
his views as follows:
The Southern people who rely upon
coal for fuel are just now experiencing
the blessings of the “protective” system.
True there has been no law passed by
Congress in tlie interest of coal owners,
bat the effect is the same, for a combina
tion has been entered into to kill oil'com
petition and raise the prico of coal to a
figure far above its intrinsic value.
When Congress at tbe instance
and request of persons interested
passes laws laying heavy duties ou
iron, steel, salt, woolen and cot
ton fabrics, etc,, and thereby increases the
prices of these articles, the protective tar
iff advocate says it it is all right, that it is
better for the people to pay exceptionally
high prices for these goods, and that it
stimulates tbe industries and builds up
tlie country. The coal men are carrying
this theory fnto practice In a small way.
They combine or pool their business in
such a way as to noarly double the cost of
coal to consumers, for tlie purpose, we
suppose, of stimulating the coal-digging
industry and increasing their wealth. We
have looked for some friend or protection
to try to make consumers believe it Is
better for them to pay these exorbitant
prices, bat so far no one has taken up
the cudgels in behalf of “protection” to
coal, and we do not know why, for all
that can be said in favor of high prices for
iron, steel, salt and other articles of ne
cessity will apply with equal force to the
case of coal. We throw out theso hints
that some bold adventurer in the field of
thought may catch up the thread and spin
a theory that will make coal-consumers
satisfied and content to pay the prices de
manded for coal. That tbe man can be
found we do not doubt, and he will prove
himself a public benefactor by showiug tbe
dissatisfied public that they are wrong in
complaining because of seeming extortion,
and that high prices for coal arc a bless
ing alike to producer and consumer.

zero seems to have been the average rec
ord about tbe city, although at one or two
exposed points It touched zero itself. Con
trary to tho expectations of many tbe riv
er did not freeze over, a fact which may
be accounted for on tbe ground that the
eold snap has not existed long enough to
overcome the latent heat. The tempera-
aturc to sufficiently low to freeze running
streams, and should it so continue three
days we may witness tbe novel spectacle
of a frozen Ocmulgee. Tbe ponds and

Tbe event foreshadowed iu these col
umns some weeks ago has matured.
Macon has entered into a coat femlne at
last, and a suffering that, unless the
weatberdkioderates, will increase to an
acute degree, is the result. There is not
a pound of soft coal for sale in the city,
and but little of tbe hard. It Is of but
little use to complain. All that remain
to be done is to find a way out of the diffi
culty.
Tbe remark Is made constantly: “Why
do not the coal dealers lay lu a supply in
the summer sufficient to meet the winter’s
demand ? ” The question is a natural one;
but the fault Is not with the coal dealers,
it is with the railroads. We .were in
formed yesterday by a prominent coal
merchant that he has coal both at tho
Montevallo and at tbe Coal Creek mines
which has lain there since the first of
September; that he has made application
to the Central railroad authorities for and
has been promised transportation time and
again, hut it has never been furnished
him. The fault is not with tbe coal
dealers. Or the contrary, the public
are indebted totbeir liberality for coal at
anything less than ruinous prices. Al
though they knew that their fast
diminishing stock could not be replaced
weeks ago, they continued to sell at the
price established October 1st, until the
last pound was disposed of. The fault is
with the railroads, and to them we must
look for relief. We are informed that all
of the rolling slock is employed in hauling
cotton and other freight, and cannot bo
used for coal. This may be true, but it
seems to us that a city which pays into
the railroads’ treasuries such sums as are
paid by Macou, should be accommodated,
when the comfort and welfare of the city
are at slake, even though the roads do loso
a little otherwise. Tbe interests of the
roais are identical with those of the city;
prosperity with us, is prosperity
with them, and it is a short-sighted policy
which leads them into a neglect of a city’s
welfare. We have never been among
those who have hastened to cry down the
railroads for fancied injuries, but if it be
true tliat the railrosds have not provided
themselves with cars sufficient to supply
one city with coal (as it is charged) or
continue to refuse transportation fur what
has now become an absolute ne
cessity with us, we shall add our voice to
the indignant protests, which are becom
ing more emphatic that complimentary
throughout the State. No fuel and tlie
therftiometer near zero, is a state of affair?
that calls for more than protests, however,
and we may yet .see a committee waiting
upon tho authorities and demanding con
sideration.

It was stated In yesterday’s issue that
the Alpha Taa Omega Fraternity was a
Southern organisation. This is not strict
ly true. It was organized in tbe South,
but Is by no means confined to tbe South.
Chapters have been established in tbe
West, and chapters will be established
immediately In tbe North. In this con
nection we quote a sentence from a letter
from the Right Rev. Bishop C. T. Quit'
tard, published In tbe last issue of tho

Nono College. Tho usual preliminaries
of minor orders having been gone through,
the reverend gentleman was called to

sliip on Thursday, and after a lapse of
three days had tbe holy orders of priest
hood conferred on him on Monday morn
ing. Rev. Mr. McConvilie commenced
his studies ten years ago in St. Charles

FIHE IN MONTEZUMA.
Another Blow Upon Oar Flacky Lit
tle Muter.
Yesterday morning a fire broke out in
tlie store occupied by Mr. Abe Barnett in
Montezuma, and before the flames could
be checked tlireo buildings lay in ashes.
One, we believe, was unoccupied at the
time of tho fire. Tho other contained
the stock in trade of Mr. J. N. Rosser,
consisting of groceries, dry goods and
furniture. Mr. Barnett’s was a general
merchandise store, and scarcely anything
was saved from it. Tho losses arc:
A Barnett, stock, $2,000.
J. N. Rosser, $5,000.
Lewis, three stores, $4,000.
There was a policy of Insurance cover
ing Barnett’s stock. Tho remainder was
uninsured. A ball was in progress at
the hotel, and tho cry of fire was
promptly responded to. The burnt build-
dings were located between V. A. Colej’s
and the livery stable, and were near the
cotton warehouse. Fortunately the winds
were favorable or the loss might have
been much more serious.
, ZERO, . *
And a Few Facto or History.
As we are having more weather now
than anything else, a few facts concerning
the measure used in estimating our pos
sessions iu that line may be of interest:
“Zero,” on the common thermometer,
like the fanciful names of the constella
tions, is a curious iustanceof the way wise
men’s errors are made immortal by be
coming popular. It may be worthwhile
to say that tlie word itself (zero) comes to
us through the Spanish from the Arabic,
and means empty, hence, nothing. In ex
pressions like “ninety degrees Fabr.,” the
abbreviation “Fabr.” stands for Fahren
heit, a Prussian merchant of Dautzic, on
the Baltic sea. His full name was Gabri
el Daniel Fahrenheit.
From a boy he was a close observer of
nature, and when only nineteen years old,
in tbe remarkably cold winter of 1709, he
experimented hy putting snow and salt to
gether, and noticed that it produced a
degree of cold equal to the coldest day of
the year. And that day was the coldest
day the oldest iuhabitaut could remember.
Gabriel was the more stiuck kith the
coincidence of Ills little scientific discover}',
and hastily concluded that lie had found
the lowest degree ot temperature in the
world, either natural or artificial. He
called the degree zero, and constructed a
thermometer, or rudo weather-glass, with
a scale graduating up from zero to boiling
point, which he numbered 212, and the
freezing point thirty-two—because, as he
thought, mercury contracted tbe thirty-
second of its volume on being cooled down
from the temperature of freezing water
to zero; and expanded a 180th on being
heated from the freezing to the boiling
point.
Time showed that this arrangement,
instead of being truly scientific, was as
arbitrary as tbe division of the Bible into
verses and chapters, aud that these two
points no more represented the real ex
tremes of temporal ure tban “from Dan to
Beersbeba” expressed tbe exact extreme
of Palestine.
But Fahrenheit’s thermometer had beea
widely adopted with its inconvenient scale
and none thought of atiy better until his
name became au authority, for Fahrenheit
finally abandoned trade and gave himself
up to science.
The three countries which use Fahren
heit are England, Holland ami America.
Russia aud Germany use Haunter's ther
mometer, in which tho boiling point is
counted eighty degrees above the freezing
point. France uses the centigrade ther
mometer, so-called.because it marks the
boiling point 100 degrees from freezing
point. On many accounts the centigrade
system Is tbe best, aud tlie triumph of
convenience will l>e attained when zero
is made tbe freezing point, aud when the
boiling point is put 100 or 1,000 degrees
from it, aud all the sub-divisions are
fixed decimally.
If Fahrenheit had done this at first, or
eveu if he had made this one of his many
improvements after the public bad adopt
ed his error, the luck of opportunity,
which was realty his, would have secured
to his invention the patrouage of the
world.

A WATCH PRESENTATION.
A Pteaamnt Episode In Bnelneee Ur*.
Mr. Oilando N. Dana, the courteous
superintendent of J. W. Burko & Co.’s
printing department, was down in the
lower part of the building yesterday at
noon, when a boy informed him that a
gentleman wished to see him up in the
composing room. Responding to the call
Mr. Dana made bis way into the up^r
region and was surprised to find himself
the focus of pretty nearly all the eyes to be
seen daily iu the various departments of
the mammoth establishment.
There were present Rev. John Yf.
Burke president of the stock company,
Mr. Charles Canning, secret.ry and
^easurer Mr. W. W. De Haven, book-
lceeper, Mr. John G. Deitz, head of the
bindery Mr. J. RT. Edwards, head of the
order department, Mr. Barfield, head of
the retail store, Mr. Hall, general mana
ger of the publishing department, and
many others. It was apparent that the
fires of the establishment had been
banked aud the machinery stopped for
some reason. Before he had time to In
quire into the causes, Mr.M.J. Divine
stepped forward and said:
Mr. Dana, I am called upon by the gen
tlemen who surround you, and by several
absent, to repent
them In a tender to you of a alight token
Lf° ufldenoe and este °m- There
could be no more fitting occasion than this
new year morn of ’81 for the expression of
our earnest, heartfelt friendship for a «n-
tlewan possessing so emineutiy as you do
W 1 ana lLe wel1 wisl,es of those
with whom you are in dailv contact.
Through a long course of years—in war
and In peace—we have not been uumiud-
^0^ of the many kindnesses on your part,
aud of the excellent treatment we have
ever received at tbe hands of the firm of
which you are an active and important
member. This desirable state of affairs
we feel to be mainly attributable to your
self, emanating from your thorough judg
ment and rare executive abilities - as the
superintendent, the practical and the me
chanical man of your associates.
Accept this trifling memento, sir—not
for any intrinsic value that may belong to
it, but from the motive which prompts the
offering. It is a little thing in itself, but
a contribution shared by every individual
'“connection with your establishment,
lhis fact makes my duty, sir, a doubly
pleasing one, knowing as 1 do that 1 con-
vey the unanimous sentiment of those:
whom I have the honor to represent. With
the congratulations of the season, pul this
in your li.tie pocket, and in after years,
when other forms and other faces will con-
front you, let the little remembrancer so
lime the revolutions oi memory as to car
ry you back to recollections of us, your
friends and well wishers of eighteen hun
dred aud eighty-one.
Mr. Dana was, of course, surprised,
but responded in the following neat man
ner:
As a surprise parly, gentlemen, I am
convinced, without the shadow of a
doubt, that you are a success. I need not
tell you that this Is a pleasant and agree
able occasion, for you all know that to be
thus kindly remembered is one ot the
happiest events in life’s pilerimage.
It has pleased you to place iu my keep
ing this handsome time-piece, which
should ever remind me to 1catch well
over the interests of the donors.
I look around, seeing ou every side faces
familiar to me for eighteen years. Right
here I find Mr. Burke, tho “noblest
Roman of them all”—the man at tlie
helm -who, by his foresight and admira
ble administrative tact, has weathered the
storm and brought us safely into a secure
haveo; and there stands Mr. Deitz, “worth
his weight iu gold,” and Mr. Newton, his
able assistant; aud there sits “Basil,”
whose surname is Hall. May he always
keep guard o’er that “printing office hook,”
aud “may his shadow never grow less.”
And there Is Mr. Canning; Mr. Smith,
Mr. Bremer, Mr. McKay, and others,
boys aud all—for I see you are here.
Now, to wind up this pleasant occasion,
I will closo by saying that for this beau
tiful token of your friendship anil esteem,
my appreciation and gratitude is simply
but truthfully expressed in “I thank you,
one and all!”
The watch Is a handsome double-case,
gold stem-winder, and bears within the
inscription:
A Token of Esteem
to
ORLANDO N. DANA,
from the
ATTACHES OF J. IV. BUHKE A CO.,
January 1,18S0.
The gift was a spontaneous tribute to
the kind and courteous consideration
which has always characterized Mr. Dana’s
conduct towards those around him, as
well as to the worth of the man. It wiij
betohim attiCsured memento.
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.
New Year** caller*.
The New Year’s callers this season
were considerably reduced In numbers,
hut what there were of them called vigor
ously and stayed well. Owing to
the passion for centralization,
which has taken possession alike of
society and tbe Republicans, there were
not many houses open to callers, a fortu
nate arrangement, perhaps, considering
the weather. The galaxy of stars which
greeted the incomer, however, at each tar
rying point, sufficiently atoned forscarcity
of places, if atonement were necessary.
The young ladies and the married vied
with each other In making the contrast
between the lonely, dreary streets and the
salons as striking and as favorable to the
latter as possible. The callers chose a
residence each at which to “end up the
day,” and in several houses the receptions
were turned into full-fledged parties, that
lingered together until the midnight hour
was struck for tho first time in 18S1,
and the advent of Sunday warned them to
disperse.
