Lynch Law Needed In Clinch County Very
Badly.
Times are getting bad indeed. A man
can scarcoly travel at night in this couutry
os well as around Valdosta without being
attacked on the wuy by some scoundrel.
Some days ago, Jack Alien, a son of Judge
J. R. Allen, living near tho Alapuha river,
between Naylor and Stockton, was going
from his home to his brother-in-law's who
lived about a mile distant. On getting to
the corner of tho fence, near a branch,
some one stepped into the road from out
the bushes and struck at Mr. Allen with a
large club, knocking his hat off his diead,
but before he could make the second strike,
Jack fled, getting home safo. He felt quite
thankful to his Maker. Some time later
Mr. I. J, Edmondson wont to Valdosta to
sell some cotton for some neighbors and
on retnrning home some one followed him
from tho river swamp near his house before
they stopped, and thnt night they were
standing near his yard gate. Mr. Edmun-
son was soon informed of it und on going
out with some members of bis family they
Haw them stoop down and walk off us fast
as possiblo. It was supposed that it was
some one that had seen him with the
money during the day and tried to overtake
him, or some one knew he was going to
town that day to sell cotton, and d.d not
know the exact route he might come, und
to be sure of him they would go to his
home early in the night and catch him out,
knock him down, and take his money,
Everything worked well in Mr. Edmon
son's favor, He sold his neighbors' cotton
for a good price, returned home safe and
turned the money over to them.—Valdos

A HEALTHY YARN,
THE S. D. & W. H. R.
What President I.lnderinaa Said to the
Amerlcus People.
Thursday night Kon. A B. Linderman,
president of the Savannah, Dublin and
Weston railroad, arrived in Americas.
He was greetod by a few people who took
an active Interest in the road, and who
were willingto take a tew risks as to wheth
er he meant business or not
Mr. Linderman hud not been in Ameri-
ens six hours before be convinced all liis
hearer* that he meant business. He did
not want nny public meetiug, or any
speeches, but simply wanted to meet tbe
people, tnlk to them, and find out what
they thought of his proposed railroad.
While in Americns he was the guest of
Hon. J. B. Felder, to whom be conversed
very freely about the road. As is well
known, the people of Americas are skepti
cal os to any road from Savannah to Arneri-
cus, as it is too good a thing to dream about.
Mr. Linderman said, in conversation with
Mayor Felder:
Felder, it I am a man, and have any
truth about me, if there is any flesh on my
hones, that road is as sure of being built as
the sun shines.”
He made the same statement to other
parties, and showed why he believed it.
lie has two nephews under age, and he is
tiie guardian for them. The road issnre to
pay a good dividend, and he believes it s
profitable investment HU nephews are
worth (19,000,000 in their own right, and
he proposes to put somo of the money in
the road.
He talks sqnare and honest and is a
pleasant and affable gentleman. He made
a good impression on all the people he met,
and left yesterday afternoon with a prom
ise of returning in April. There seems to
bn n good deal of business about the
scheme.—Americns Recorder.
A few years after the war shut np, and
while desolation still clung to the people, I,
then a young man, fresh from a four year's
solo in tho army of Northern Virginia, de
cided that I would go to Savannah and see
if Sherman had left enough of it to live in.
I arrived in Macon at 3 o’clock on a Sunday
afternoon. It was n beautiful day, and ns
the Savannah train did not leave until abont
8 o'clock p. m. I decided to go np town and
look aronnil. It was my first trip to Ma
con, anil I was pretty green to boot, and
am yet, for that matter.
I had read of tho Isaacs House, kept on
the European plan, but I didn't know what
that meant. Feeling hungry, I inquired
of a low, chunky individual the way to the
honse kept by Mr. Isaacs. I did not like
the man's looks, but thought it unnecessary
to tell him so on such short acquaintance.
He offered to show me the way to the
house, and together we proceeded np town.
It was located on Cherry street between
Third and the Ocmulgee river. On the
way my guide was talkative, and finally in-
qnired if I was acquainted in Macon. 1
told him no, but mentioned a man who
years before, lived in Albany, who hod
moved to Macon, since which time I had
never heard from him. He knew him well,
and also knew that my friend would lie
delighted to see me.
Arriving at the Isaacs Honse, I thanked
aim for hi* kin ness, went in, ordered din
ner and ate it. When I came ont, bo was
sitting in front of the hotel, and began talk-
ing about my friend whom I bad not seen
in so many years. Pausing over to the
corner of Third and Cherry, I asked him if
he would not take something to drink. Of
course he would, and we found * hole in
the wall not far off, and entered. Inside we
found an elegantly equipped bar and sev
eral men standing about, some smoking,
some drinking and somo looking on. 1
ordered drinks for three, my guido having
called np a very' tall, heavy-built man.
not very prepossessing in appear-
anoe, whom he introduced as Colonel ,
I forget the name. This individual was a
man of better address than my gnide, and,
drank his liquor in a way that showed he
used to that sort of thing. He too, knew
my friend, and also knew that he would be
rejoiced to see me. In paying for the
drinks, I bad to expose a considerable roll
of bills, amounting to fifty dollars or more,
and while I was receiving back some
change,JI caught four grecdy-looking eyes
riveted on the roll. Turning partly around
I thrust the roll of bills linto a little
pocket in my shirt, just under my
arm, and bade them good evening, remark
ing thut I would return to the depot That
was on their route home, they said, ami
they would walk that far with mo. On the
way to the depot they nrged me to stay
over and spend a few days with my friond,
and mentioned tow sadly disappointed ho
wonld be when he beard I had passed
through without calling on him. At tbe
depot they continued in the same strain.
It was getting dark, and the "Colonel,”
tnrniug to me, after a short silence, said:
“You might as well make up your mind to
remain over a few days. Your friend lives
jnst ucross the bridge, in East Macon, and
os we are going that way, we will take
pleasure in snowing von the house.”
I hod not told them positively that I
would not remain. The train would soon
leave. Telling them I would be bock in n
few moments, I walked np in the direction
of the engine. As I reachod the engine, I
partly turned my head and saw the smaller
of the two stealthily following me. Quick
ening my pace, I gained the door of tho l ag
gage car on the opposite side, leaped in
aud went back through the train to the
passenger coach, where I stretched ont on a
seat In a few moments the villian passed
along, looking in each window as he pass
ed. 1 saw him walk hack to the “Colonel,"
to whom, I suppose, be mode his report,
and just then the tram rolled ont for Sa-
vannab, leaving my would-be assassins
standing looking after it, hoping, doubtless,
that I might make my appearance after it
left.
Home yean later, I visited Macon and
met the friend whom they aonght to nse as
s decoy. He lived up above First street,
and informed that he had never resided in
East Macon. Then cariosity led me to
visit the bridge. I found it all that a mur
derer could desire on * dark night.
More yean railed away, and I was in
Macon again. One Sunday morning as I
stood gazing nt Swamp Molly and her al
leged husband, as they lay aide by aide un
der a shed at the city hall, with their heads
nearly severed from their bodies and sev
eral deadly knife wounds in their breasts,
I wondered if it was the work of the two
men who were once so anxiotu for me to
remain over a few days. And later on,
when I read of old man Stinson being de
coyed to Bose Hill cemetery, murdered and
thrown in the river, I again wondered if
my friends (?» were still »t work.

WAYNESBORO’S JAIL DELIVERY.
An Licit Ing Chase In the Swariup After the
Prisoners.
On Tuesday night the prisoners confined
in juil at this place mode their escape. There
wore six prisoners confined here, one charg
ed with crimini&l cruelty to his child, one
charged with bog stealing, one charged
with stealing a mule nnd wagon, an Irish
man charged with stealing money, a negro
woman under sentence to tho penitentiary
for hog stealing, and the notorious negro
desperado, Bill Garvin, who was charged
with the most shocking cold-blooded mur
der ever committed in Burke county.
The officers immediately set ont to sconr
the county in the attempt to reeapture the
prisoners, nnd on Wednesday night the
deduty sheriff in company with Mr. Lee
Dixon nnd bailiff Ward, of tbe IVtth district
discovered Garvin asleep by a fire in Sazan
nnh river swamp, guarded by a large, fierce
bull-dog. When the party approached with
in a short distance of Garvin's camp, the
dog gave the alarm and rushed upon him.
Zorn ran towards the fire, and when the
dog dashed upon him fired one barrel
of his gun over the dog, instead of into him,
to scare him. Alt this racket awoke Gar-
pin and he seized his double barrel gun nnd
prepared for battle. Zorn told to him
not to move or ho would shoot him. Gor-
vin replied that he had better lookout for
himself, or be would shoot too, and threw
his gun to his face. Zorn fired, followed by
the fire of Garvin so close thnt tho reports
of the two guns wore Scarcely distinguished.
Zorn thinks he hit Garvin in tho breast,
und he says he haw him fall, butothers who
have been in pursnit of him ull day Thurs
day and Friday are of the opinion that he
was not hurt, and only fell as a blind.
Springing to his feet, Ganrin made his es-
capo in the thick conebreak under cover
of the intense darkness ot the night.—

THE OAT CROP.
Camilla, January 10.—Tbe recent cold
and freezing spell of weather was the se
verest daring the last half century. I am
hopeful this morning, however, that the
damage done to vegetation, oats especially,
is not oqual to that done by cold spells and
freezing less severe in former years. I have
jnst examined several stalks ot oats and I
feel confident thnt they are liot, killed so
completely so os to prevent the making of
nn average crop, with seasona, etc., in tbe
future. I think the explanation is the mod
erately cold winter and henos the absence
of much sap. I am aware just st this time
public opinion is against my conclusion as
to tbe damage done the oat crop. It is on
important crop and I hope I am correct.
Tho three-story “Hotel Georgia" is near

Unfortunately, American girls are grown in too
large proportion "under glass;” delicate, graceful
and as many-lined as follago plants; some aas
beautiful and dependents* orchid*. Transplanted
in the open fields of life, subjected to rough winds
of ordinary experience, perhaps to the chill* of ad
versity, they fade and wlthsr, the fnllneas of their
beauty disappears, and tha strength and glory of
true womanhood fall lamentably of develop-
meat A graceful rural writer, a woman,
not long slnoe admitted "that there is in
beauty, in youthful appearance, health and life, a
most untimely and unaccountable decay among
American women.” There is truth in this aver
ment, whatever the caities, whether in-door con
finement. close rooms of high temperature, dyspep
sia-inducing cookery, ambition for educational ad
vancement or other health-destroying agencies.
There is abundant evidence, however, that a posi
tive improvement hss been initiated, which is now
plainly manifest In a comparison covering even a
short period of a dozen years. There is less pallor
and greater avolrdnpoia; more strength for physi

The Stewart Warehouse Losses.
The destruction ot J. H. Stewart * Son’s ware
house, and the complications arising therefrom
have been tha talk of tbs city f*r some weeks past,
Thera appeared to be much difficulty in determin
ing tha exact number of bale* of cotton in the
warehouse at the time of the fire, and also In ob
taining tbe amount of inanrsnee and the amount*
advanced on tbe cotton by the bank*.
Tha adjuster* completed their labors yesterday,
but a final settlement has not yet boeu reached.
Tha following ua; be considered a fair approxi
mate testament u f the facte as far as developed:
There ware in the warehouse about fiuO bales, of
whish <0 ware the property of Mr. i. O. Ruan. On
441 bates, Stewart k MM had about |40.<U> insur
ance. Upon cotton receipt* fnrnULed by the firm,
which they claimed represented cotton In the ware
house, th* following amount* were borrowed by
them from the banka: Central Georgia Bank,
f 17.0UO; Exchange Bank, *4.400; Capital Bank.
•*.700; Macon Havings Bank. MJuO- Thasa
amounts aggregate The baak* will receive
as proceed* of sate of cotton saved from th* firs and
ia insurance, about 114,000. This will teavs $90kMO
to be mads good by tha Arm.
It is understood that Mr. J. 8. Stewart proposes
to secure tha banks by transferring to them plan-
ten’ notes to tha amount of and rate aetata

In the sixth Ward, near the center of tbe

The latter quadruped now occapiea the
front chamber of the dwelling, and daily
may be aeon surveying trom the second
Htory window the sarronnding scene of
desolation.
Awakening in tho early houra of the
morning, long before daylight, the owner
of the cow, the cat and tne dog beatirred
himself, and, jumping ont of bed in the
dark, ran down itnira for the pnipone of
raking the fire, which was permitted to
bars sli night. Rs had nothing on bnt his
night shirt, nnd when he reached the bot
tom of tiie stain was horrified eo find his
lower extremities in water to hia knee*. It
ia needless to nay that he tamed suddenly
and groped tor the lUin. Procuring a
lamp ho returned, and can ting around n
look the cat and dog were diaeoverad
qnietly roosting on tho stove, both wearing
a Tory disconsolate countenance. Abont
two feot of water oorered the floor.
A raft was hastily constructed, noon
which the owner propelled himself ont to
the bam to look after the oow. The ani
mal waa (tending in her (tall, with noth
ing bnt her noae visible above water. Tha
tie (trap waa hastily loosened and tho im-
8 rizoned animal rescued, being led through

Upon entering this room the animal ob
served the door of tho stairway, which waa
standing open, and forthwith bolted through
it. She squeezed up tho crooked stairway
and into the front room, where she yet re
mains, and how ahe will ever be gotten ont

Annual Report of State Dairy Commis
sioner Drown,
An Albany, N. Y., special savi: Tbs an
nual repor. ot Dairy Commimuoner Jos iah
K. Brown for 1885 says that thore has been
paid into the State treasury during tho poat
year on nccoant of fines for violations ot
the dairy laws, more particularly those re
lating to the manufacture and sale of oleo
margarine, 12,288.81. Ur. Brown lays he
hee been somewhat retarded in his work by
the advene decisions of the conrta, as in
what i« known as the Uerx ease, in which
it woe held that the law prohibiting the
sals and mannfsetnre of olaagtnona •ab
idances, other than that made from
pare milk or cream,and designed to take the
place of bntter, was uneonatltutlonnl. “This
decision,’" he uys, “hoe worked to the
disadvantage of tboee who bare been nnx-
ion* to suppress tbe sale of sparionasrticloe
of the character mentioned. Dealer* in
imitations hara in many Instance, boldly
defied even the law, that ore, beyond qneg.
lion, valid. Notwithstanding these obsta
cle, much has boon done to bring offend
er, to jaatice. There are now npword of
200 com# in the courts. Many careful teats
have been and are continually being mode
throughout ths State, which tally enstain
the correctneee ot the milk standard estab
lished by tho seta of 1884. Although the
nale of imitation bntter baa been reduced
in this State the aalee in the United Stater,
an a whole, have materially increased since
1883."
The report cites Buffalo aa the commu
nity most groeely im{tosed upon by milk
dealers. Of 254 sample, of milk analyzed
there 180 were adulterated. The report in
clude, a paper from Dr. R. D. Clark, of this
city, enumerating circumstances that vaiy
the amount of fat in milk, snch as breed,
age, and food ot cattle. He gives the beet
butter-producing age of the cow, the influ
ence of. temperature end fat upon the quan
tity and quality of milk, and the 'governing
principles and physiological lavs appertain
ing thereto. Dr. Clark gives it as liis opin
ion that oleomargarine ia dangerous to
health because it ia indigestible, is insolu
ble when' mod# from animal fate, and is
liable to carry ths germs of diaeas. into the
human system, and because ia the eager
ness ot manufacturers to prodnoe the apu
rions compound cheaply, IngretlienU enter
into it which an detrimental to the lost
degree to the consumer', health. The re
port further gives a list of the anbetanees
used in the manafsetan of imitation but
ter aa follows: Borax, salicylic acid, ben
zole acid, glycerins, slam, cows' oddei,,
sulphuric acid. Ml aoda, samUa potash,
castor oil, chalk, stomach, of pigs, sheep
and calves, nitric acid, varioac kinds of
vegetable oils, tallow, lent, floor, etc.
