From the Sumfer Republican:
A Good Yield.—'We letrn that Mr.
p. V. Wesson has made the brag crop of
the year. He sowed nearly two bushels
of Tennessee Crowder peas and will
gather about two hundred bushels from
the patch. Over one hundred and fifty
bushels have already been picked; and
our informant say§ bis patch is ftUU roll#
Mr. Wesson lives in this (Sumter) coun
ty out on Flint river.
Remarkable Season.—The weathsr
at this time is perbsps the most remarka
ble for the time or the year within the
knowledge of tbe oldest inbabltant# On
Tuesday tbe thermometer was upiotbe
eighties, and the day was warm euougb
for garden work. A gentleman told us
that be has an apple tree, of the June vs-
Vietv, that Las utver blossomed before,
hut It now has large apples Just beginning
to ripen. We see peach, apple and cherry'
trees in bloom, and we know of one
cherry tree that bore In the early season
that now has a second crop of green fruit
for this year. This maybe put down as
another of tbe remarkable incidents of
1881.

Tbe Atlanta Constitutloa having an
nounced that ez-Governor Bullock will
“represent Georgia at tbe national tariff
convention in Chicago on the 15th inat.,”
the Tbomasville Enterprise very perti
nently enquires “by wbat authority ex-
Govemor Bullock will represent Georgia
anywhere and under any circumstances,
and who gave him his authority. The
people of Georgia, we imagine, are very,
far from desiring ex-Governor Bullock to
represent them anywhere or at any time,
and until they have expressed themselves
on the tariff qnestioo, we cannot see how
any man can represent them in a tariff
convention.’ ” *
Messrs. C. C. Cambridge and Wm. E.
joues, well known business meu of Sa

The Atlanta Conttitutlon has tbe fol
lowing:
An Interesting Story.—it will be
remembered by tbe readers of tbe ConM(~
tution that for several years a suit has
been pending between Mr. Cicero Cleg-
horn, of Chattooga county, and Dr. J. W.
Janes, of Rome, involving the possession
of tbe infant child of the late Hon. Dun
lap Scott, of Floyd. Capt. Scott’s seeoud
wife was a Miss Janes. She, after giving
birth to a child, died. Before her death
•he requested that Mrs. Janes, who was a
daughter of Dr. Hillyer, with whom Mrs.
Scott had lived when a young lady,
should take charge of her child and bring
it up as her own. Sbe retained possession
during Capt. Scott’s life, and even after
be had married tbe third time. Upon
Capt. Scott’s death, which occurred a few
years later, Mis. Clegborn, wbo was bia
sister, moved, through her husband, for
the possession of the child. They claimed
it at being next of kin, and upon tbe as
sertion of Mr. Cleghomthat Captain Scott
on bis death bed requested that
his child should go to tbe care
of bis sister. Being unable to set
tle the matter an appeal was bad to
the courts, and a prolonged straggle com
menced. The esse crested a great deal
of excitement. It has been decided two
or three times in the lower conrt and we
believe once for each side. Appeals were
made to tbs Supreme Court upon one pre
text or another and the litigation kept
open. A final appeal was beard on yes
terday. The last judgment or tbe Supe
rior Court confirmed tbe rights of Mrs.
Janes to hold the child. Mr. Cleghom
appealed from this decision, and his at
torney, Col. Alexander, made a powerful
argument before the Supreme Court on
yesterday. At tbo ooncluslon of his ar
gument the court decided that it was not
necessary to bear from the other side, but
affirmed tbe judgment of tbe court below.
This sealed the matter finally we pre
same. We understand that at the last
trial in tbe Superior Court tbe child was
put on tbe stand, being about ten years of
age, and asked whether sbe bad rather
remain with Mrs. Janes or go to Mrs.
Cleghom. She answered that she pre
ferred to remain with her “mama,” by
which title sbe meant Mrs. Janes.

Yesterday some excitement was created
in business circles by the announcement
that Mr. M. C. Gordon, proprietor ot the
New York Store, had failed. From what
we could g&tber, it seemi that Mr. Gor-
don, recognizing the condition ol his busi
ness, notified E. S. Jsffray A Co., of New
Yoik, tbe largest creditOM,that he could
not meet his obligations, and requested
them to foreclose their mortgage. Yes
terday evening the sheriff doted the store
and the stock is now in his hands until
a receiver is appointed,which will be done
in a few days. In tbe meant! me the store
will remain doaed and an inventory of
the stock will be taken, after which the
doors will be opened and the goods put
upon the market for sale* We under
stand that tbe liabilities amount to about
$75,00(1, while the asaeU are estimated at
about one-bait of that amount. We are
informed that mortgages are held against
tbe stoek to tbe smountof 855,000, which,
of course, will fbst hi satisfied.

THE Hawkinsviile Newt says:
Shipment or Potatoes to Ken
tucky.—On Saturday morning last, Mr.
Henry B. Karr, of this county, brought a
wagon load of potatoes to town, and after
having them packed in barrels, shipped
them to his relatives in Kentucky. They
were of tbe Pattlshall yam variety, and
the finest potatoes we have aeen this
season.
Powder and BaBL.—On last Satur
day evening, on the premises of Mr. John
White, of Pulaski county, two colored
persons, a man and woman, were slightly
wounded with halls fired from a pistol in
the bands of Mr. Richard Partib, a young
man clerking in the store of Mr. White.
Tbe negroes, we understand, walked into
the store' and asked for credit. TJjis was
refused by Mr. White, and they became
.angry and attempted to take tbe goods
from tbe shelves anyway. This aroused
the temper of Mr. White and be pulled
the trigger of bia pistol, slightly wounding
them at above suited.
Mb. John R. AhTjerson, of Pulaski
county, runs a sixty-saw gin by a Wire
rope three hundred feet long, of which tbe
Hawkinsviile Newt says:
Mr. Anderson can gin and pack ten
hales per day easy, and it roouires only
three men and one boy to do the labor at
the gin bouse. The engine boose is ex
actly one hundred yards, or three hun
dred r«t from the gin bo’.’se, hence there
is no danger of both bouses burning in
case of fire. If one burns the other Is
saved. All of our farmer* should take
precautions against this, giving plenty of
distance between tbe gin and engine
house. The gin of Mr. AnderaOn is run
by s half Inch wire rope,five hundred and
slxtyrttiree feet long, and this la support

longer than a week for each division.”
What about tbe tale of the steamers
Gate City and Columbus ?” “They were
sold by tbe Central to a company
that has two steamers running be

our road, and will make weekly trips be
tween these points.” “Will this weaken
your line between Savannah and New

three new steamships to be built after tbe
pattern of tbe Augusta, one of tbe new
steamers we have.' They will be finished
as soon as possible. In tbe meantime tbe
trips will not be interrupted between
these points.” “You will have regular
lines running in connection with tbe Cen

“Yes, aud to Philadelphia and Baltimore.”
“Are tbe steamers for all these points to
be as good as the Ocean SteamshlpLiue?”
“They will be. They are backed by

Jail Breaking in Dqpge County.—
On Friday night last two colored prison

escape, affd when last beard from Were lu
tbe neighborhood of Dublin, in Laurens
county. One of tbe prisoners, Isaiah
Richardson, was awaiting trial for assault
and attempt to murder Mrs. Lasbley.
The other, John James, was charged with
carrying concealed weapons and was com-
mitted by tbe justice of the peace. The
Instruments with which they effected their
escape were furnished them by outside
parties, and it ia supposed they received
assistance from the outside. They filed
through tbe iron bars of tbe jail corridor,
and tbeo dug a bole through the outside
brick wall. A crow-bar was use J in priz
ing tbe door open. Joe Latham, a colored
p.«.' charged with tbe murder of a white
man nan named Sawyer last spring, re

Philadelphia Timet.
On Tuesday, the lOlb day of July last,
a young man of leisure and some fortune,
who bad fallen under the influence of
tbe stock-gambling passion, bought *
thousand shares of Northern Pacific com
mon at forty-two through one of the lead-
lug brokers’offices on Third street. He
had before made several nice little turns
on hundred-share blocks, buying in the
neighborhood of forty-two and selling In
within a day or two at a profit of a dollar
a share. These moderate winnings did not
satisfy but whetted the speculative appe
tite. Hundred dollar profits were no
longer worth taking. The young gentle
man, who possessed a moderate independ
have divided tbe road into six divisions, ence determed to become a millionaire,
and will give one week to each division. move under the Influence of that
laudable ambition was tins purchase of
tbe aforesaid tltoiuaud shares of Pacific
common. Ten minutes after be bad
drawn his check for the additional mar
gin which the transaction made necessary
tbe New York bears jumped on the stock
and it began to go down with a rush. At
3 o’clock it was nearly two dollars lower
than he bad paid .for it. The nest day,
Wednesday, it fluctuated wildly. At one
moment be could bare sold with very lit
tle loss. At tbe next be was nearly live
teoussnd dollars out of pocket. During
that exciting day this young gentleman’s
actions afforded an interesting but painful
study Tbe New York and Philadelphia
stock indicators in tbe office were about
ten feet apart,- and all day long be kept
moving between them, reading the fig
ures, first on one, then on tbe other. If
he sat down be was up again In an in
stant, patrolling with tbe restlessness of a
caged hyena, the short beat
between the two indicators. He
forgot bis - usual midday lunch and
at 3 o’clock left the office haggard and
pale, and did not appear to be at all re
freshed when he came down the next
morning. That exciting Wednesday was
followed by a long period of depression
and anxiety while President Garfield was
dying. There were fluctuations up and
down, as the lies, official and otherwise,
said that tbe stricken man was better or
worse. There were times when the
young speculator could have got out al
most whole, and one memorable Tuesday,
when tbe unofficial lists were uncom
monly busy, bis purchase of one thousand
abates of Pacific common represented a
loss of nearly ten thousand dollars; bat he

would have waited loo long for a bigger

as everybody expected that it would, as
the eud of tbe registration period drew

accountable process of tbe miud, became
a bear in Reading, and sold a thousand
shares at 32J. As everybody kuowsp
Reading kept on going up until it reached

between the indicators was worn thread

abort at 81 and tlie stock bounded back
to 33a34 and has stayed there ever since,
and tbe carpet between tbe indicators is
worn out to the floor. Tbe young specu
lator would not buy Pacific common at

but if the stock should open this morning

Colonel E. W. Cole, tbe president, read a
lengthy and interesting annual report tj
the meeting, showing the company to be
in a prosperous condition, and explaining
tbe vast system, of which the East Tennes

heart, extending from Memphis and New
Orleans, on the Mississippi river. Meridian,
in Miasisrippi, Brrnswiek and Savannah,
on tbe Atlantic, to Harrisburg, Fa., in tbe
east, and Norfolk, Va, on tbe Chaaapeake,
with tbe promise of early completion of the
Morristown extension into North Carolina,
and the extension of the Knoztrille and
Ohio, under contract to be completed by
the 1st of July, 1*82, which will give con
nection, via tbe Louisville and Nashville
railroad, to Lon-sville, and via the Ken
tucky Central railroad to Cincinnati and
the west generally.
He reported tbe work on the new lines
in Georgia progressing satisfactorily, and
all under contract to be finished by tne 1st
of July, 1882, when this great system will
be interwoven and knit together, tbe fa-
tare of which is exceedingly promising.
When the links are completed, tbe East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
Company will own in (ee about 1,120 miles,
bnt tbe company has leases and contracts
connecting with it aggregating, in all, 2,-
679 miles, which the company either owns
or .has contracts with other
run over their roads.
Tbe property of tbe East Tennessee, Vir

“I am moto than satisfied at the progr*>t
that has been made in this work. On both
divisions everything has been pushed for

the road is being built as rapidly as tbe

that tbe work was in capable hands, and
that it waa simply a question of getting
enough hands to do the work, I must My
that I am surprised at the progress that has
been made.”

Tbe stockholders of tbe E ist Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Rail load Company
held their eannel meeting at their offloe in
this city yesterday at 11 o’clock. Nearly
all the stock of the oompany was represent-
dd, either in person or proxy.
Tbe meeting waa called to order by the
president. Col. E. W. Cole, when, on mo-
tion, J. R. Anderson, of Bristol, was calUd
to the chair, and R. H. Campbell appointed
secretary.
The following named gentlemen we e
elected director* to serve for the ensuing
twelve month*, each motiving 447.43X
votes:
L. J. Jennings writes as follow* from
London to tbe New York World:
A friend of thine, of mucb experience in
Wall street, was recently in London, and
while here be was asked in wbat part of
tbe United States be would be disposed to
look for good and promising investments.
He answered at once in tbe South and
Southwest. These sections of tbe coun
try, be said, bad long been neglected from
many causes; tbe war bad thrown tbera
back many years and tlie exclusive spirit
of tbe Southern people bad prevented real
progress aud tbe influx of new capital.
Thus ueglect had fallen npon some of the
most rich and fertile territory in tbe
United States, but aocordiue to my New
York fnend, this stale of affairs is like'y
to become as much a thing of tbe past as
tbe war itself, and in tbe course ot a few
yeans tlie South may be as great a source
of wealth to tbe whole nation as tbe East
or the West. It was, in fact, to certain
railroads running through tbe South that
he recommended the person whom he was
addressing (a London banker) to turn bis
attention if he wished to recommend in-
vestujeuts likely to prose profitable in tbe
future.
Whether this suggestion was a wise one
or not I cenuot say, for I do not know
very rnr.ch about southern railroads. But
that the South will not always remain a
hundred years behind tbe rest of .the Un
ion may safely be Uken for granted. Tbe
tide or foreign emigration will flow in '.bat
direction, so far as climatic conditions
will permit, aud manufactures will take
root and flourish, at least as well as ttiey
have done in tlie Eastern Slates. Expe
riments like that for wbich Mr. T. Hughes
is responsible in Tennessee must necessa
rily do more barm than good, by giving
people an erroneous impression of tlie
country and tbe conditions of life. Mr.
Hughes is a well roeauiog man, but he is
also a very visionary and obstinate one,
not at all fitted to give advice on a matter
requiring so much practical knowledge
and experience as that of founding a new
settlement. Tbe “Rugbyites” are writing
doleful letters borne to the newspapers
and telling tbeir countrymen not to think
ot trying their fortunes in the South.
And yet, from the very first, many of
them were warned that Mr. Hughes was
abott the last mau in the world
whom It would be safe to adopt
as a leader in an enterprise of this
kind. They thought be must necessarily
know all about founding a settlement be
cause be had written a pjpnl*r book, but
authors are by no means tbe wisest coun
sellors in tbe practical affaire of life, even
when tbe difficulties are far lesa great
than those winch must necessarily sur
round tbe formation of a new colony—for
to nothing leu than that did Mr. Hughes
aspire. Tbe fate of Rugby, however, will
have no eflect upon the future lortuues of
tbe Southwest. It may, perhaps, reader
people more cautious of buying land in a J
distant country without knowing any
thing about either tbe land or tbe selling
thereof, but legitimate schemes of emigra
tion will not be discouraged. There wm
considerable speculation going ou at one
time here even in tbe Rugby lauds, and
some of the original promoter* are report
ed to have sold out early at a good profit.
The fact is that stories about the great fu
ture of the South bavs reached this coun
try in many forms during the last two or
three years, aud they aroused in a con
siderable claw a strong desire to cast in
their lot with that future whenever they
found a chance.
There ia plenty of English money to be
had for any enterprise in tbe (Jailed
States which bolds out a moderate pros
pect of success, and after the experience
wbicb English inventors have bad of Erie
and other railroad* they are not inclined
to fear that thty would fare worse if they
CMt some of their bread ou Southern wa
ters. Wbat would attract more attention
tbao any other undertaking is that wbich
Will Inevitably be heard a good deal of by

lu tbe most favorably situated States.
Already, as I have understood, that in
dustry is rapidly extending from (be East
to tbe West and South, and 1u course of
time not much cotton will be sent over
tbe Atlantic for manufacture. It will be
jnade up on the spot where it is grown,
and the chief mart for cotton goods, as
well at for raw cotton, Will be tbe Uuited
Slates. This is certain to be the course ot
events in that particular branch of com
merce, and capital enough will pour in
when tbe Southern people are prepared
to make good use of it. People are al
ways ready for something new, and
It will be decidedly somethin*
utw to bear of an industrious, active,

we sre looking for. Tbe old combinstions

however, to bring capital, aud where that

Havre de Grace, Md., Nov. %—Tbe
duck shooting season on tbe Susquehanna
fiats commenced to-day. It is estimated
that about 350 gunners were out, and that
about 3,000 birds were killed. On tbe
first day last season 8,000 were shot, and
it wm thought that tbe result of to-day’s
shooting would be even greater, a* the
ducks are more plentiful now than they
were then, but there wm hardly a breath
of air blowing, and to this cause the
smallness of tbe quantity killed is attrib
utable. The local law wbich governs
gunning on tbe Susquehanna flats
prohibits duck hunting between April 1st
aud November i. From November 1 to
January 1 ducking is allowed on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from
then until April it is allowed on Saturday*
also. Tbe object in restricting tbe gun
ners wm to protect tbe birds. Tbe gun
ning grounds have a circumference of five
miles, and it is a violation of the law to
gun within half a mile of the shore. Not
lets than 150 licenses have been issued to
gunners in Harford and Cecil counties for
tbeir boxes and sneak-boats.
The license for a box, single or double,
Is $20 and for a sneak-boat or bush
whacker $5. The former ia a sort of raft
with s sunken coffin-shaped box in tbe
centre, in wbich tbe gunners he at full
length and out of view, snooting tbe birds
as they come in tight. From 250 to 800
decoy ducks float ou tbe water near the
box, some being on the raft itself. The
sneak-boat or bushwhacker is a bateau
in which the gunner is concealed from
tbe ducks bv bushes, and approaches them
by cautiously sculling. The bushwhack-
ers usually use from 100 to 150 decoys,
wbicb are placed some distance from tbe
boat. The men start out al 3 o’clock in
the morniug aud stop shooting at
6 p. m. Owing to tbe cold weather there
were only a few good gunning days lMt
season. Tbe gunners expect a successful
season thiryear, aud are in high spirits
over tbs prospect. Tbe regular gunners
fish for herring and sbad in spring, and
use their boats to carry small freights in
summer. Tbe constant exposure to
wbicb they are subjected in winter hM
made them tough and hardened physi
cally. It is not an anusual sight on a
cold day to see a gunner rise from bis
box with beard frozen stiff. Tbe birds
al-e bought here by J. Thompson
Frieze, John T. Moore and John
Boyd, of this place, and by agents of Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York firms.
Ur. Frieze has trequently shipped ducks
to England, where they sold from $5 to
$10.50 a pair. Yesterday tbe birds sold
here at $1.25 for canvas backs per pair, 75
cents for red-beads, aud 35 cents for black
heads. Tbe prices will increase as the
weather grows colder. Among tbe best
shots at Havre de Grace are William
Dobson, John Day, D. Mitchell, George
Barnes, William Myers, John Poplar
aud William E. Moore, tlie latter be
ing a one-armed man. Dobson shot
300 birds yesterday. On the first day
lMt season be killed over 500, while sev
eral others shot over 300. A number of
sportsmeu from Baltimore and Philadel-
)hla are gunning here and in tbe neigh
borhood. There are ten sporting yacht*
already at Havre de Grace. The evening
trains on tbe Philadelphia, Wilmington
aud Baltimore railroad were crowded
with gunners going borne. It is said that
all tbe ducks have been frightened away
from tbe bead of the Elk river by tbe
fishing pounds. Four or five years ago
ducks fairly swarmed there.
Ferry, administrator, vs. Wall. Distress
warrant, from Early.
Speer, J^—That a tenant is ousted from

sent. Judgment affirmed.
McLendon vs. Smith et al. Suit on bond,
from Schley.
Speer, J.—Pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court from a decision on a writ
of habeas corpus refusing to release a
prisoner, can tbe court discharge him
from custody on any terms? Quaere.

money to bis client, a writ of babeM cor

fendant be discharged on giving bond to
tbe sheriff “to render Bis body in prison
in the event such order should be affirm
ed,” on failure to comply therewith after
an affirmance no recovery can be bad
either by the movant iu the attachment
nor the sheriff for bis use. Judgment
affirmed.
Clark vs. Bell. Claim, from Sumter.
Speer, J.—An application for home
stead under the constitution of 1877 must
state the grounds therefor. An applica
tion simply claiming homestead, without
stating whether m bead of a family or in
wbat capacity, is not sufficient; aud tbe
record of a homestead so granted will be
rejected from evidence.
(n). Such a failure in the application
cannot be cured on tbe trial ot a claim
case passed tliereou by parol testimony.
Judgment affirmed.

The Earth Drying Up
The New York Timet gives this alarm
ing information to temperance organiza
tions:
There is abundant evidence that tbe
amount of water bn the surface of tbe
earth bM been steadily diminishing for
many thousands of years. No one doubts
that there was a time when tbe CMpian
Sea communicated with tbe Black Sea,'
and when the Mediterranean covered tbe
greater patt of tbe Desert of Sahara. In
fact, geologists tell us that at one period
tbe whole ot tbe earth wm covered by
water, and tbe fact that continents of dty
land now exist is proof that there Is less
water ou our globe now than there was in
its infancy. This diminution of our sup
ply of water is going ou at tbe present day
rt a rale so rapid m to be clearly appreci
ably. Tba rivers and smaller streams ot
our Atlantic States are visibly smaller
than they were twenty-five years ago.
Country brooks iu which meu now living
were accustomed to fish and bathe lu
their boyhood have in many oases totally
disappeared, not through any act of man,
but solely iu consequence of the failure ot
tbe springs and rains wbich once 1 fed
them. Tbe level of tbe great lakes is
falling year by year. There are many
piers on the shores of lake-side cities
which vessels once approached with
case, but wbicb now hardly reach
to tbe edge ot tbe water. Harbors
sre everywhere growing shallower. This
is uot due to the gradual deposit of earth
brought down oy rivers, or of refuse from
city sewers. Tbe harbor of Toronto bM
;rown shallow in spite ol the fact that it
111 been dredged out so that tbe bottom
rock hM been reached, and all *.be dredg
ing which can be done to tbe ha-bor of
New York will not permanently deepen
It. Tbe growing shal lowness of the Hud
son Is more evldeut above Albany than it
is in the tide water region, and. like tbe
outlet of Lake Champlain, which wm
once navigable by Indian canoes at all
seasons, tbe upper Hudson is now almost
bare of water in many places during the
summer, Iu all other parts of the world
there Is the same steady decrease of water
In rivers and. lakes, and tbe rainfall in Eu
rope, where scientific observations are
made, Is manifestly less than it wm at a
a period within man’s memory.
Whsti* becoming of our water? Ob
viously it is not disappearing through
evaporation, for in that case rains would
give back whatever water the atmosphere
might absorb. We roust accept tbe theory
that, like the water of tbe moon, our water
is sinking into the earth’s interior.
