We learn from the Constitution that
the Atlanta Soiling Mill was entirely de
stroyed by fire last Tuesday afternoon
about four o’clock. The fire originated
from a red hot flue. The entire works
were consumed in a short while. The lose
of the building and machinery is estima
ted at about STS,000 and insured for$50,-
COO with Atlanta agencies. It is not
known how mnch the machinery is dam
aged.
The Athens Banner says one of Capt.
H. H. Carlton's “little four-yearold twins
returned recently from a visit to Tallulah
Falls with her parents. When asked
wbst she thought of the falls, said: ‘Ob,
it’s just some rocks piled up with soap
suds poured over them
XI. C. Bubgund, the festive Atlanta
masher wire skipped the other day leav
ing a handsome assortment of debts, and
carrying his Iovey-dove’s diamond ring
with him, has returned to Atlanta from
New Orleans and Is now boarding at the
jail. He says be was coming back just so
soon as he transacted some private busl-
uets down there.
The Atlanta Rolling Mill.—The
Constitution says: Hands were engaged
yesterday tn moving the debris about the
machinery in order to allow an Inspection
by the insurance companies' adjusters.
Nothing could be ascertained concerning
the loss sustained in addition to what was
printed yesterday. As soon as possible
the sdjusters will estlmsle the loss and
the insurance money will be paid over to
the legal representative of the company.
As to whether the mill will be rebuilt or
not there is a great deal of doubt. The
present slatus of the company renders it
impossible to obtain any definite or relia
ble information npon this point. The
mill Is bound for $250,000 of the mortgage
bonds and s small floating debt. Of these
bonds the Citigeus’Hank holds $100,000.
'That Institution has long since pegsed to
have an existence, and the receiver can
not tell what the creditors will do with
their bonds. Th« holders of the remalu-
,D S $150,000 have not yet consulted to
gether and, tnerefore, their desires are
not known,
'WaLTeb B. Hill, Esq., one of the
coii nissioners to prepare a new code,
says it will be finished in about six
months.
"Whisky Legislation.—'the Consft-
tullon says It seems likely that the only
general whisky legislation that will be
had at this session of the Legislature Is
that which Is incorpoiated In the follow
ing bill which has passed the House by
00 yeas to nays 40 :
A bill to be entitled an act to prohibit
the distillation of any grain In the State
of Georgia for twelve months, aud to pro
vide a punishment therefor.
Whereas, It Is now a fixed fact that in
consequence of the widespread and exces
give drouth In all sections of the State,
that breadstuff's will be unusually and al
most unprccedently scarce during the next
year, at least; therefore, be it resolved:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Georgia, That no person shall
be allowed to distill any corn, wheat, rye
or any other grain iu this Stale during the
next twelve months after the first day of
October, 1881
Section 2. Be it further enacted hy the
authority aforesaid, That any person vio
lating the provisions of this act shall be
guilty of a misdemeauor, and on convic
tion therefor, shall be punished as pre
scribed in lection 4310 of the code of
1873.
Section 3. Be it farther enacted, That
all laws and parts ol law in conflict with
this act be, and the same are, hereby re
pealed.
Mr. Smith, of Union county, the author
of the bill, says there are in the State sixty
registered grain distilleries. Last year
they made 105,072 gallons of whisky and
paid the government a revenue of $148,-
504.80.
The Eastman Tunes says Mr. Ilenlow
Clarke, of that county, will make, this
year, with twelve plows, fifty-five or sixty
bates of cotton and twenty-three hundred
bushels of corn. The Times also prints

Old Time Looms and Wheels.—The
Augusta Netes says - Mr. Lem Aired, of
Pfokens county, has been appointed to
secure three or four old-fashioned looms
that have been used in the mountains of
north Georgia for tbe past sixty years,and
a like number of tho spinning wheels of
our grandmothers. He will engage wo
men who have been uMog these looms all
their lives to come to tbe Atlanta Exposi

of Gilmer and Pickens counties. He will

The Dispatch says Hon. George R.
Reed, of Wilcox- county, -died yesterday
week aged seventy-five years. At the
time he moved -to that section—1812—
not a housq. then stood on the ground
DOW Acdupied by Hawklnsvilie. He was
probably. tbe _ largest. sheep and. cattle
raiser In southern Georgia.

Dispatch:
Seven Hundred Dollars in Fines.
In Dooly Superior Court, last week, the
■even young men charged with breaking
open the jail or that county and releasing
a prisoner therefrom, a year or two ago,
came up and plead guilty. Judge Crisp
imposed upon each a fine' of $100, In
cluding costs, which the parties settled.
Shipments of Cotton.—Up to last
Saturday, l?th instant, there had been
shipped from Hawklnsvilie 2,094 bales of
the pew crop of cotton, against 3,188 bales
for the same time last year. Tbe ship
ments are 494 bales less than last season.
We were under the impression that the
shipments had been greater this season,
but the figures show otherwise.
Save Yolk Corn—And How to
Save It.—We have traveled in our buggy
fifty miles within tbe past few days, and
everywhere we saw fields green with grass.
The cotton fields and com fields, in many
places, are covered with a beautiful
growth of the “crow-foot” grass—the
sweetest and best of all Southern grasses.
Now is the time to economize with the
short com crop. Horse* and mules hot
compelled to work should be pat npon
these pastures. The cotton is nearly all
open, and the corn can be gathered. Tbe
stock will thrive upon this rich grass pas
turage, and but few feeds of com will be
needed till after frost. The time to save
your corn is while it is in tbe field and
when yon have it luthe crib.
The New Road.—The ConslUvtlon
sajs on last Friday “tbe connecting link
of the location of the Macon and Bruns
wich extension, was completed, and the
whole line between Atlanta and Macon is
now ready for the contractors. Already
ten parties are at work on the road, and
a number of miles htve been graded. Tbe
route will be as follows: From Atlanta
to Stockbridge, tlienee to McDouougb, to
Locust Grove, from there to Jackson,
then to Indian Spring, and from Indian
Spring along the Ocmulgee to Macon;
distance from the Central road at Stock-
bridge being eight miles, at McDonough
ten, and at Jackson, the farthest point,
twenty. Tbe distance irom Atlanta to
Macon will be ninety miles, and the run
will be made in three hoars.”
The Chronicle reports money very
tight at Augusta and Bone to be had “on
the very best paper with collateral securi

brought $105 per share last Monday, and
eighty-three shares of the Sibley factory
stock were sold at par, though the mill is
not yet in operation.
From the Columbus Enquirer:
A few miles below Otbo, Ala., there is
an old negro named Moses —, who
claims he had a revelation from the Lord,
in which he received information that the
world would again be destroyed by wa
ter, was so convinced that the de
struction would be by water that he at
once begin tbe work of tmii&nK an ark.
He lift* been thus engaged {t>rsor er *l
months, and tbe result of his labors may
be easily »een from tbe river, This ark
is very Uhlllte tha representations of tbe
one built by Father Noah, and would
doubtless not withstand any severe gales,
such ss might be expected iu a cruise of
forty days and nights. This oddly con
structed vessel or house is placed on a
high hill, read? for me rising water It
is composed of several apartments, about
five feet wid* and ten feet long, which are
placed on top of each other. Each has a
small portico, and spires with feathers as

the negro one has to pass through a very
elaborately decorated arbor, over tbe en
trance of which are the words: “Wel

The strikers behaved tolerably well
last evening, but it was an open question
whether their action was controlled by
moral suasion or hy the appearance of
armed and determined policemen,coupled
with the knowledge that the Chatham
Artillery, SavauDah Volunteer Guards
and Georgia Hussars were armed and
equipped and ready to respond to the call
far their assistance. At all events they
were not turbulent last night, but exhib
ited that quiet aud sullen demeanor that
usually presages and forebodes a storm,
which was liable to break out any mo
ment. They were out nearly all night,
and held meetings at various places, but
dispersed peacefully. This morning they
met as if by preconcerted agreement near
the approaches to the Central railroad
wharf and took positions there, which
were apparently calculated to overawe
and frighten any who were inclined to
work. They then went to Hr. D. B.
Thomas’ coal yard near the foot of West
Broad street, and drove the laborers from
that point, threatening to kill them if they
did not cease work. Tbe police were
notified and Sergeant Green with a-
squad of men hastened to tbe
wharf and sncceeded in restoring order
without any difficulty. The white men
then resumed their work and were not in
terfered with, although it was deemed
advisable to have a squad of policemen
there on duty. About 10 o’clock a num
ber of warehousemen on the Central rail
road struck, and when the news reached
Colonel Wadley, so it is said, he ordered
them to be paid otT and discharged. This
official, in view of the delay and tbe con
sequent loss ot business, determined to
fill tbe places of the strikers at once, and
sent to Macon aud other points lor men.
In company with the mayor be visited the
police headquarters and stated his posi
tion, asking that be be furnished the nsc-
essary protection. Accordingly General
Anderson will have a sufficient force out
on the arrival of the train shortly after 4
o’clock this afternoon, so that the new
men will not he interfered with. Trouble
is apprehended, although steps are taken
to prevent it. If it be unavoidable then
tbe exigencies of the case will be met
with prompt and summary measures.
The Thomasvilie Enterprise says

The Athens Banner learns that an in
cendiary fire destroyed tW.o storehouses
on the public square at-Danielsvilie,
Madison county, last Tuesday'"'night—one
of them used as a post-office.
The Sparta Ishmaeltte lias been inves
tigating the matter, and is led to the con
clusion that the public school fund will,
instead of $00,000, realize only about
$20,000 from the fees from the inspection
of fertilizers.

There is to be a gathering of Confeder

Of course there will be a great deal of

Southern generals will pretend that they
love Sherman and Sheridan, aud Shenuan
and Sheridan wili pretend that they love,
and always did love the Southern gen
erals, and both parties to. the shallow
fraud will know that nobody Is deceived.
It is impossible for a decent Southern
man to respect either of these vandals; and
it is contemptible to act the lie social, as
!t will be done at this gathering of the
kids and wolves. The Idanaelite literally
abhors all such cowardly and diagusting
fittnkyism. The millenium of good will
between the recently warringsections will
never be advanced by these high pressure,
hypocritical gatherings. _ Itis to be hoped
that the day will never' come when the
South will cesse to despise such men as
Sherman and Sheridan.
The Gainesville Eagle casually re
marks, that “when a politician gets

A Jail Burned, and a Prisoner
Roasted Alive.—The Atlanta Post-
Appeal learns from parties fust from
Dawsonville, Dawson county, that ou
Thursday morning, about 2 o’clock, the
jail in that town was found to be on fire.
“It appears that on the evening previous a
burly uegro, charged with burglarizing
Hamp Smith’s store, was arrested aud
confined in the jail. The negro’s name
was Billups, said to have been once owned
by Coi. J. A. Billups, of Madison. During
the night the negro conceived the idea of
burning out of jail, and so fired tbe build

belonged to Auce Miller, who left his

carried the precious piece of meat off.
Then there was a lively and exciting race,
for meat was meat, and could bring the
money. Tbe old bog was finally run
down, kicked in the side, and when she
went to squeal out herdiiapprovalof the

Twelve Negroes Drowned.—The
SavanDah Recorder ot Friday afternoon,
has the following:
This morning a few minutes before 8
o’clock an accident occurred at Isle of
Hope by which the livfs ot twelve colored
people were lost. It appear* that the ferry
boat put off tbe landing at Long Island, a
part of Skidaway, for the purpose of coin
ing to Isle of Hope and had seventeen col
ored persons ou board, when the capacity
of the boat was scarcely sufficient, for half
that number. The passengers were men
aud women who cany on quite an indus
try in supplying the market with fish and
on account ot the day being Friday, were
more anxious than usual to come to the
city, hence the crowded condition of the
boat, which was In charge of Pero Gant,
an old resident. It bad not gone more than
thirty or forty yards from the lauding
when it careened and sank, throwing the
entire party into tbe water. Several
of those who were able to swim saved
themselves, while others perished in en
deavoring to save others, or were dragged
down by those drowning. The names of
those who were drowned are Pero Gant,
Robert McQueen, Arthur Manigauit, Liz
zie, his daughter, Martha Sfiddleton,
Clara May-bank, Harriet Gibson, Jennie
Floyd, Mary Mongin, Lizzie Ford, Fanny
Ford and Cato Williams. Several of the
bodies were recovered and inquests will
be held on them. Search is being made
for the bodies of the others who were
drowned. The drowning accident created
the greatest consternation among the col
ored residents of Long Island ana the Isle
of Hope.
The tame paper says:
An Effingham county man came Into
the city quite early yesterday morning to
do tome trading and unlimbered his
cracker wagon at the usual rendezvous on
St. Julian street. He had just commenced
to feed his sorry looking horse when the
firiug between the nereis and policemen
took place at the bridge across the canal.
A great deal of excitement was created at
the Ume, and at the news reached bis
ears and the report of arms, be quickly
bitched up again and started at a break
neck speed for home. We presume he
got there all right. When the fusilade
above mentioned took place, a darky,
who was a mere looker-on, became so
frightened that be struck out for tbe river
and with vigorous plunges swam across
to Hutchinson’s Island and set out for
Back river. A bold and brazen colored
woman was noticed last evening with a
suspicions looking handle under her arm,
and when questioned about it displayed a
formidable looking Improvised wespou in
tbe shape of a large cobble-stone tied in
tlie end of a stocking, which she exclaim
ed was “for de buckra.”

Our Politicai. Horoscope The
people of GeottUrtuid ju wstLmake up
their minds to lose Uiaf great orator, Sen
ator Htli. We have undoubted informa
tion that the affliction on itis tongue is a
cancer, and with his eloquence stilled his
power in tbe counsels of the nation is for
ever lost.: We have no doubt but what
Mr.'HiH now sees this; and that his re
signation will quickly-follow. We pre
dict that the Governor will appoint iu his
stead Geu. John B. Gordon. Tbe gen
eral has now acquired the fortune he re
signed public office to make, and be will
doubtless be glad to again get into har
ness. But his appointment will only ts
temporary, for when Gov. Colquitt’s tarm
expires Gordon will turn tbe Senatorial
mantle over to him, and he (Gordon) in
turn enter tbe field for the Chief magistra
cy of Georgia. We firmly believe that
this Is the “cut and dried” programme
and will anxiously await for time to de
velop our prophecy. There may be some
variation, such as appointing Speaker Ba
con as Mr. Hill’s temporary successor, but
the end will be, Colquitt at Senator and
Gordon for Governor in 1882. Brown,
Colquitt and Gordon Is k trinmviate that
can’t be defeated. They carry the vote of
Georgia in their batid and can manipulate
afiairs to suit their own ends.
Negro Tklegrapht.—The colored
people have a secret faculty of transmit
ting news with rapidity that even lays tbe
telegraph in tbe shade; but how it is man
aged the whites can never discover. Let
some startling event take place to-day in
Lexington, and in a few hours every ue
gro in this and adjacent counties will
kuow all the particulars. But tbe most
wonderful feat we ever heard of in this
Hue was last Monday night. A half hour
after President Garfield’s death the news
was given out in the colored churches in
Lexington; while the white people of this
section did not hear of it until ten hours
afterwards. It may have been a surmise,
but if this be true tbe darkies guessed the
hour of the President’s death, too.
Fine Cobn.—Mr. Seaborn Aycock, of
this county, can stand in his field, aud
with a three.foot stick touch forty-five ears

a genuine bacon famine in this section,
aud it Is not quite lifted yet. Mr. Wil

Our merchants can’t keep a supply on

You Must Pay.—Some ol the farm
ers in this couuty last week called on a
prominent guano dealer, and told him it
would be impossible to pay for their gu
ano as their crops were a total failure.
The only consolation he gave them them
was that all the notes not paid by the
1st of November would be found iu the
hands of a lawyer. When a man buys
guano he mortgages everything but his
wife and children and waives all but the
hope of salvation. The only way to get
out of paying a guano debt is to die.
Catholicism.—We learn that Duggar,
the Republican who has entered the race
for Congress agalust Mr. Speer in the
ninth district, is charging through the
mountain counties that Speer married a
Catholic, aud if he is returned the iuqui-
sition will be re-established and every
Protestant in the ninth distriot be burned
at tbo stake. Ifrepoits be true, Duggar
will establish Moruiouism when he ac

BVRNErT’M COCOAINE,
Unlike nil Other Hair Dressings,
Is the best for promoting the growth of
and beautifying the hair, and rendering it
dark and glossy. Tbe Cocuaine holds, in
a liquid form, a large proportion of deo
dorized cocoanut oil, preoared expressly
for this purpose. No other compound
possesses the peculiar properties which to
exactly salt the various conditions of the
human hair.

Harmony in the Republican prrty is
rapidly advancing backwards. It has
reached a point where tbe Buffalo Express
(formerly stalwart, now half-breed) de
clares tbst “If the stalwarts don’t believe
there is snch a thing as retribution, let
them try it oil Let them nominate a
straight Gntteau ticket and offer ft to tbe
Republican voters of New York.” To
this it adds, by way of making its mean
ing more plain, that “no candidate who
did sustain or does now sustain the re
signed Senators in their hostility to Gar
field’s administration can command tbe
Republican vote.” This appears like a
notice for a bolt, at the same time giving
a new classification of tbe Repnblioan fac
