so bang I upon this lieantifnl memento of
respect and esteem. Coming as it does, un
expected and unsolicited, it makes me so
mach the more proud to account myself its
honored recipient.
“As a token of respect I receive this beau
tiful gold-headed cane in the generous spirit
with which I trust it was presented, and I
shall ever appreciate with the rnoet sacred
and .profound veneration.
“To the noble and generons donors I am
unprepared with worda sufficiently appro
priate to express my nnlmonded gratitude.
Hnllicc it to aay that they will live in my
heart, my memory and my affections for
ever. For yonr kind interposition in this
matter, permit me to renew to you, the as
surance of my most distinguislied consider
ation. "
GEORGIA'S CHAMPION SNORKIt.
JIow Jim Smith, of Jonenhoro, Made n
Stranger Leave III* lied.
If Jim Smith has a weakness for anything
it is playing a joke on a fellow. Last Sat
urday night Smith came in on the down
train. He secured a room at the Storey
House. When the up train arrived there
came another drummer. There being two
beds in the room, the porter carried the
drummer up to Smith’s room, and opening
the door asked if he had any objections to
a gentleman going in the room with him.
Smith answered, saying: “Why, no, cer
tainly not; I will be * pleased to* have him,
for if there is anything I do like, it is com
pany.”
The gentleman undressed and was soon
in bed. Both were soon asleep. In a short
time the stranger yelled out: “Oh, Hay,
mister, stop that snoring. You disturb me.
I can’t sleep. Turn over.”
Smith answered, “All right,” nnd was
soon asleep again. In a short time the
stranger again cried out: “Great heavens,
man, wake up and stop that snoring; I can’t
sleep.”
Smith answered, “All right, my friend.”
Just then a happy thought struck him. He
said to himself: “I will do some snoring
with my eyes open, hut I will make the
fellow think I am asleep. Here Smith
came down on the bass. Those in
the house said it could he heard two blocks
away, and sounded like a steamboat round
ing a bend in the river. The stranger stood
it for a minute or so, then jumping out of
bed he made a rush for the door, and as he
hastened out said: “Great Scott, you are
certainly the champion snorcr of the
world,” The gentleman was found next
morning asleep on the parlor floor.
Smith says he laughed himself to sleep,
and dreamed he and his best girl were in a
gilded ice cream parlor, and while she ate
cream he sucked a frozen mint julep through
a golden tube.—Jonesboro News.

A PRETTY HORSE SHOW.
Fifty-Five Prancing Colts Waiting for the
little Ribbon.
Barnesville, October 3. —As was adver
tised, Mr. Jackson G. Smith, the owner of
the Norman stallions, DeCasuley and
French, held bis colt show on onr streets to
day.
His object was to bring .together nil of
the colts sired by his horses, and to effect
this he offered three prizes, viz:
1. Twenty dollars for the finest colt sired
by DeCasuley.
2. Ten dollars for the finest colt sired by
French.
3. Ten dollars for the finest colt out of
the sorriest mare.
His object wns effected, for by 10 o’clock
our square was filled with colts, little
nnd big, nnd of every imaginable color nnd
shape, all competing for the prices. Messrs.
John Powell, Ambrose Murphy, W. P. Mc
Donald, E. W, Bose, J. T. Blalock, E. H.
Bloodworth nnd W. R. Murphy, were cho
sen as judges nnd t.,(- show began.
A rimg wns formed and the colts were led
around nnd around, so that the judges
might see nnd note each one and jndge its
merits. Occasionally the ring would he
broken by some refractory colt trying to
join his anxious mother outside, bnt the of
fender would soon he brought to order and
persuaded to resume his march.
About fifty-five colts were present, all,
without exception, were well formed, snd it
wns hard to decide which of the three were
the finest, hut the judges finally awarded
the prize to J. C. Adams, first prize: A. A.
McKinley, second prize; Harris H. Smith,
third prize.
It wns a beautiful collections of colts, and
is an indication of the coming prosperity of
our people.
Already are they learning to raise their
provisions at home, nnd when they cease to
be dependent upon Kentucky nud Tennes
see for their stock, then will they be upon
the road that leads to success.
The half-breed Norman is especially
desirable for our country, both
from his qualities ns a draught
horse and his hardiness and durability. He
will do ns much work ns a mule and is infin
itely more desirable, DeGasuly and French
both took premiums at the last State fair
and nre excellent specimens of horse flesh.
Mr. Smith paid nearly $2,000 for the lirst
and $1,000 for the second and he says that
money could not buy them.
NOTES.
Mr. Abernathy, of Juliette, was present
with a pretty colt.
The colt tLnt carried off the third prize
was only six weeks old.
One of the colts, six months old, weighed
680 pounds.
Several hundred peoplo eame in to see
the colt ahow, and judging from the way
they crowded around them and attempted
to walk over them, they certainly saw it.
One gentleman refused $150 for a four
months old colt.
Altogether it wns en eminent success.
HE GOT THREE YEARS.
Proceedings of Newton Superior Court—A
Good Word for the ‘•Telegraph,’* Etc,
Covington, October 2.—Newton Superior
Court adjourned last night. During its
session forty-live criminal cases were ilis-
*poscd of and but little business is left on

years jl the penitentiary in which to repent
Lis foil*.
We are still Laving bad weather, nnd
tho clops are thereby being greatly dam-
aged.
Favorable comment is being made here on
the new name and bright nppeorance of
yonr excellent paper, nnd I will add my mite
of praise by stating that the new name and
bright, clean dress oi the paper nre fitting
types of its character, the former suggest
ing the alertness and enterprise of its man
agement and tho latter typifying the brill-
lioncy of the thoughts which it dissemi
nates.

C. Langston, lately on employe of the

Heavy Rain In RocktUle.
Conyers, October 3.—Many of onr oldest
citizens say that yesterday's rainfall wns the
heaviest ever known in this section, es
pecially on Henry creek in this county.
Every bridge across the creek was washed
away, besides many others across smaller
streams in the connty, and the crops in the
bottoms on tiie creeks are thought to be
ruined.
Mr. W. H. McDaniel’s mill dam wns
washed awny, with a considerable amount
of machinery, on Hcnnr creek. Mr.
M. Tuckers mill itain on the
some creek was washed away and
his will property greatly damaged. The
full extent of damages done by the rain in
I the county cannot yet be ascertained hot
from all reportH they are very heavy, espe
cially in the aonthern portion of the coun
ty, the disaster has cast a gloom over our
community. •
County Representatives.
Then there is Nat Harris, a young man of
ability and deserving of a great deal of
credit for the position he occupies, who, if
lie would add a little more decision to pol
icy, would he the rising young man of the
State.
Then there ia impetnona, frank Charley
Bartlett, every inch a man, true to his con
victions, outspoken in defense or opposi
tion, as the case may he, on all questions,
watchful of every measure that comes up of
a general character; bnt kicking in the pol
icy strokes of a successful politician.
Of the older members, Gustin, of Bibb,
ia reputed to he the best lawyer in the
House, and I heard one of the justices of
the Snpreme Court say: “We begin to

This is quite a compliment, nnd while I am
no judge on such matters, I think it is de
served.—Atlanta correspondence Hawkins-
ville Dispatch.
The Incessaut Rains.
Eatonton, October 2.—The farmers re
port that cotton is being very rapidly dam

LHE GOVERNORS LONG-DELAYED
RESPONSE
To a Legislative Inquiry Concerning the Es.
cape of Convicts—Seventy-two Con-
vlctsfiet Avvnv, for Which Pen-
altlcsof Si.liOOnrc l’alil.
Tklehrai-h Bcrkap, 1"!, Peachtreet St.,
Atlanta, September 90,1884.
In December last, Senator Smith, .of the
Thirty-second, introduced a resolution ask
ing the Governor to inform the Senate as
to the number of esenped convicts, and the
amount the lessees were indebted to the
State on account of such escapes. Where
a convict makes his escape through nny
carelessness on the part of the lessees they
are required to pay into the treasu
ry $200. When the resolution
wns introduced there was an iden
that there had a considerable number es
caped, nnd that the lessees had not been
required or compelled under the law to pay
into the treasury the penalty money. *
This resolution slept sweetly in the exec
utive office, for some reason, for nearly a
year, until some inquiry was ventured as to
its fate in this correspondence. Since that
time, presumably, the gubernatorial atten
tion has been directed to the matter and de
linquent lessees requested to come up.
The Governor this morning sent in the
following communication on the subject.
There are some points of the message which
invite attention:
Executive Department. Atlanta. Oa., Septem
ber 110, 1885.—To the General Assembly: I respect-
fully submit the Information sought in the resolu
tion of the Senate and House of Representatives rel
ative to tho escape of convicts from the penlten-
tlary, nnd the liability of the lessees for tbe same.
Penitentiary Company No. 1 had five escapes
from the beginning of tbe term of Gov. Stephens on
November 4, 1882. to July 1, 1885. The sum of 2200
for each of said escapes—making a total of 21.000—
bos been paid into the treasury by said company.
There have been in tbe period aforesaid thirty-six
escapes from Penitentiary Company No. 2. On ex
amination. as provided by law, tbe excuses aud ex*
plauatlons rendered were adjudged satisfactory as
to eighteen of thin number and unsatisfactory as to
tbe other eighteen. Of the number not excused the
company has paid into tbe treasury tbe penalty for
nine, pewit, the sum of $l,80u. Suit ban been or-
dered and will be commenced on tbe bond of this
company to recover the penalty for the remaining
Dine.
Penitentiary Company No. 3 bad in the period
aforesaid twenty-one escapes. Tbe excuses ren
dered for fourteen of these were adjudged satisfac
tory. and nnaatisfactory for the remaining seven.
Tbe penalty has been paid into the treasury for all
tbe latter, to-wit: 21.400.
Tbe Marietta and North Georgia Railroad Company
has. during that portion of that pcrold In which
convicts remained in its charge, ten escapes. Tbe
excuses rendered for eight were considered satisfac
tory. aud for two unsatisfactory, for which the
company has paid into tbe treasury the sum of
<400.
The decisions aforesaid were made after full con-
anltatton with the Attorney-General.
(Signed] Henuy D. McDaniel.
These ese'iipes have been running along
for nearly three ycara, anil until tho Senate
resolution of inquiry it seemed that no
effort was made to bring the lessees to the
law. I understand most of the ponnlty
money has been paid in within the lust two
months, or sinoe.thc time the resolution was
stirred up. It is'claimed that the delay lms
been occasioned—quite a long delay—be
cause the law as to tLe liabilities of lessees for
escaped convicts is vague. It ought not to
be vagne on so important a matter, nnd if
its vagueness lms bothered the Governor, n
reference to it in one of his messages to tbe.
Pem-Wnr" might have resulted in an
amendment of the law.
ill the period mentioned there have been
seventy-two escapes. The lessees have ren
dered excuses for sixty-seven of these. Tbe
Governor accepted the excuses for forty and
held the lessees for twenty-seven.
Gov. Brown, who understands tbe law
thoroughly us to tho liability of the lessees,
sent his check for $290 for each of his five
escapes.
A Costly Change.
Atlanta, Sept. 30.—By the 1st- of June
next many of tho SoniLem railroads will
change the gnuge of their roads so as to
conform with the gauge of their Northern
connections. The change will entail a henvy
charge upon these roads. A hill is pending
in tlie Legislature to authorize tbe lessees of
the Western and Atlantic railroad to change
the gauge of that road. In a conversation
to-dny with a gentleman closely connected
with the management of the Western and
Atlantic, he said the Louisville and Nash
ville hail determined upon this change, and
the Western nnd Atlantic aud other roads
are forced to follow suit or lose business.
It wili take some time to change the
gauge of the cam, but when the time fixed
for the change arrives the Western nnd At
lantic will change the gnnge of ita entire
track in one dny. The other roads will
doubtless effect the change as rapidly. .
Tho cost to the Western anil Atlantic of
changing the gauge of the rolling stock and
the track is estimated at $50,01)0. This will
take a snug little sum from the profits of
tho lessees, bnt the change is unavoidable,
and in the long ran will pay.
A Hoop factory Dtaeonttnued.
Atlanta, September 30.—William Clif
ford Neff, the soap factory man, hns closed
np his business here anil will go to Chicago.
He could not sell enough Atlanta made soap
to justify him in continuing business here.
He tried very hard to control the wholesale
trade in his’line by an honest effort to get
certain wholesale dealers to take stock in
the concern, hut it was no go. Sojhe dosed
tin. It would seem that a soap factory
should succeed here. Still, there arc thou
sands who will try to worry along with
water alone. Don't despair, Mr. Neff. You
wili yet succeed. While there's life, there b
soap'!
