Sudden Death of Hon. A.
Cameron at Cobbville,
PRESUMABLY FROM HEART DISEASE
Onpt. Hobbs Invites the Constitution and
the Telegraph ton Fishing Frolic—
Jtlitcliel Klectlon to be Con
tested—OU-er Points.
MoRak, July 17.—I have just learned
of tlie sudden death of Hon. A. J. Cameron,
which occurred at hia home at Cobbville
about three o’clock yesterday evening.
No particulars have been received, except
that he was found dead on the floor in hie
store at the above hour, and it is supposed
that he ditd from heart disease.
Mr. Cameron was one of our most
respected citiaens, having held offices of
trust and honor, and served as messenger
of the Senate for about twenty years con
tinuously.
“He was an intelligent, genial companion
anti numbered among his frientls many of
the prominent men of the State, who will
learn of his death with sorrow and regret.
ST. SIMON’S.
Trials of the Soldier Hoj«' Life in Camp-
Many Visitors.
Brunswick, Ga., July 15.—The en
campment is dragging slowly along. It is
like an elephant without a master—doing
to suit itself. Notwithstanding the fact
that the outside world thinks that the sol
dier boys ore caving a grand and glorious
time, to those who are experiencing the
ankle-deep sand, mosquitoes, etc., it is any
thing but a bed of roses. The newspapers,
especially those published in Bruuswice,
and a few others whose consciences are
equal to the occasion, have looked at this
grand (?) military encampment in every
possible manner, and, failing to see where
the pleasure comes in, have shut their eyes
and drawn on their imaginations to such
an extent that those who have been and
seen blush when they scan the published
proceedings.
Friday the Columbus Guards, having
become tired of the redbugs and extreme
heat of old Sol. folded their tents and si
lently marched away and made quarters
in some of the cottages at Hotel St. Si
mon’s, and in a few hours the remaining
companies followed their example, and
now they are all pleasantly quartered near
the beach, where they can breathe the in
vigorating salt air and enjoy a tumble in
old ocean.
The pets of Macon, the Southern Cadets,
arrived Sunday, and, after breakfasting at
the Oglethorpe, took the 10 o’clock boat
for the camp ground.
It is estimated that over one thousand
people from Brunswick visited the bland
Sunday to see the volunteer soldiery and
enjoy old ocean’s waves.
Owing to some disagreement, it is
thought that the priae drill, which was one
of the great features, will not take place
at all.
The regatta by the pilot boats of the
State Wednesday will, no doubt, be the
aiost interesting affair of the encampment.
The city seems to be overrun with bur
glars, and nightly several burglaries are
committed.
The Late Klectlon to be Contested by the
WcUtCssI tialss-Personal.
Camilla, July 17.—Your correspondent
by wire gave your readers a correct report
of the election here on last Saturday, ex
cept as to the Maple’s precinct vote. The
total vote there was Sfty-thrcc, instead .of
twenty, wet thirty-five and dry eighteen.
This change, or correction, makes no
change in the figures as to the dry major
ity, it being about 110. There was but
very little excitement in thia place or
county. There were no jugs or bottles, so
far as your correspondent was able, from
observation or otherwise, to learn. It was
a quiet canvass and election from first to
last, so far as the prohibitionists are con
cerned. Not a speech was
made in the county by any dry man.
The wets had one Jack Carter, of Thomas-
ivilie, imported to our county for this pur
pose of enlightening and working up the
uegroes, and he did it effectually. He got
up such enthusiasm among them that they
forgot to pay their taxes, which is an im
portant qualification of voters. A notice
was served on our ordinary to-day
(hat a contest would be instituted. They
have until Thursday of thia week to begin
the work. It is presumed that
the grounds upon which they
will contest, are that they did
not have an opportunity of paying taxes
two or three days before and on the day of
election. The county, school commissioner
was during the week in attendance upon
the educational convention of the State
school commission. The antis were just a
little unfortunate in bringing on the elec
tion so as to conflict with this State insti
tution.
Rev. Mr. Chandler, a Presbyterian min
ister, is carrying on a series of interesting
meetings in our town. He is an interest
ing speaker.
Mr. Klmore Twitty, of Atlanta, is now
in Camilla.
MissCora Adams, of Eufauia, is spend
ing some daya with friends in our town.
There were good rains in our dry town
and county on Saturday and Sunday.

Captain HobV has arranged for a big fish
up the Flint, sNjut sixteen miles, and re
quests me *o invite Mr. Grady tnd Mr.
Richardson to join him. He says he will
see that they settle ibeir tariff difference
then and there if they will come.
Ben Adams, just from Uawkinavilie, is
ahead on fish stories. Hr says that while
fishing last week in a creek near Hawkins-
ville an alligator got close to the net and
began eating the fish through the net, and
M when they discovered and captured him he
■ had swallowed thirty-five feet of the net
g and had to be killed and opened to get the
Teat part of the net. Ben awears thia is
true and I have no reason to donbt it.
Captain Hobha say* tell the gentlemen
if thev come to fish not to bring any
“bait," aa he haa plenty.

Annual Reunion of tin* Thirtieth Georgia
Regiment—Locals.
Faibbcrn, July 17.—Friday was
grand day at Fairburn. Early in the
morning could be seen coming into town
wagons, buggies and carriages filled with
Confederate veterans, their wives and cbil
dren aud their children’s children. At
7:15, when the cannon ball reached here
from Atlanta, a host of old soldiers jumped
from the train. One passenger car was
sidetracked here, on which veterans had
come. Our streets, the hotel and the stores
were crowded by 9 o'clock, and one could
scarcely walk the street. The citiaens of
Fairburn had prepared badges for the old
veterans and the committee to badge the
members were kept busy until nearly 10
o’clock,and even then there were some who
were not badged. .
Promptly at 10 o’clock the programme
of the day was taken up. All the members
of the Thirtieth Georgia Regiment assem
bled in front of the depot and formed a
double file. Col. J. S. Boynton led his old
regiment. In front of the line marched
the mayor and general council of Fair
burn: in the rear came the veterana’ wives
and their children, and then followed other
old soldiers and citizens generally. The
battalion was ordered to fall in by the fol
lowing words, which fell from the lips of
Col. J. H. Boynton: “Attention, battalion!
fall in!” and the old soldiers fell into their
proper places. Then the march to the
park waa commenced. Seats had been pre
pared for the old soldiers in front of the
grand stand at the park. Arriving at the
park they sang “Coronation,” and prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr. Rowan. The first
address in order was the address of wel
come by Mr. George Latham, and response
on the part of the regiment by Major W.
H. Turner, of the Thirtieth Georgia Regi
ment. Then followed the address of Col.
J. S. Boynton and the annual address of
the executive committee.
Then came the elections of officers. Cap
tain Ward Was elected chairman, auu
Captain Alexander secretary. Rev. Mr.
Rowan ; of Rockdale county, was elected
chaplain. The regiment will hold its
reunion next year at Stockbridge, Henry
county, on the last Friday in July.
Dinner followed. The soldiers were
formed into double file and marched to
the tables and ordered to help themselves
to whatever they wished, which they pro
ceeded to do in good style. After the
Thirtieth Georgia men were all stationed
around the tables, the committee on ar
rangements invited everybody else on the
ground to partake of the good things our
good and noble women had prepared.
Everybody was delighted. The reunion
was a grand success. The old soldiers
were loud in their praises of the people of
Fairburn and surrounding county. There
were seven or eight of the Governor’s
Hone Guard present daring the reunion,
and they were well cared for and had a
good time. 1
In the evening there Waa a cry of a mad
dog, and Mr. Joe Lane, a drummer, while
standing cn the street talking to some
friends, was attacked by the dog. As it
ran through the crowd, the dog caught his
trousers between his knee and foot and
tore them loose, but fortunately the do^’s
teeth did not touch the flesh, and there it,
I suppose, no danger to Mr. Lane. The
Governor’s Horse Guard were just leaving
Fairburn and heard the mad dog yell, and
the mayor ordered them to kill the dog.
They put spurs to their horses and soon
were close enough to fire at the canine and
dispatch bis maddogship.
Ixing majr the members of the Thirtieth
Georgia regiment live, and may their old
age be the happiest days of their lives, and
may they be as brave “Soldiers of the
Cross” as they were soldiers in the war.
On the 1th of July Henry Reed, colored,
started to Atlanta on the “skurslon” train.
Bn wnatad to• exchange. ihy. with one
George Taylor, colored. As he bent over
to loose his shoes (Sere dropped upon the
floor of tht'MN at' "fl™h ball dog pistol.
When it struck the floor it fired and the
ball found lodgment in the leg, just below
the knee-cap, »f George Taylor. This put
a stop to nn< further exchange of shoes.
The marshal soon arrived anu there lay
upon the floor, in full view of perhaps a
hundred negroes, the pistol with the
smoke escaping from the mouth of the
barrel and all afriad, trying to get further
off. The marshal walked up and took
possession of the pistol and now haa it in
his possession waiting for its owner to put
in his appearance.
Mr. John Lester, of this county, has a
fine milk cow which haa symptoms of
hydrophobia.
Among the Thi tieth Georgia regiment
we noticed Col. J. 8. Boyerton, ex-Governor
and judge of the Superior Court; Maj. W.
H. Turner, ex-member of the General
Assembly and a prominent candidate for
judge of the Superior Court; Capt James

Elector In tho Third.
Dublin, July 17.—Present indications
are that we are to have a little fun over
the election of a Presidential elector for
thia Congressional district. The camli
dates are T. B. Felder, Jr., of Dublin, and
James Bishop, Jr. of Eastman. Mr,
Felder, politically, is in full accord with
the administration upon the tnriff' issue,
while Mr Bishop is an announced high
tariff m&n, Ar a matter of course, Bishop
cannot expect to succeed and we hope that
in selecting delegates this fact will be
borne in mind. Mr. ’Felder is in every re
spect competent and worthy and so far as
oratory is concerned, probably the supe
rior of his opponent. Dodge county has
once before had the elector and yre think
it nothing bnt right that it bo given to
Laurens this time.
Marietta Journal'* Improvement.
Marietta, July 17.—Messrs. Neal &
Massey, the enterprising proprietor* of the
Marietta Journal, one of the best weekly
papers of the State, have purchased a No.

Shipman engine, and have them in place
in the rear of the post-office, where this
week’s issue of the Journal is being turned
out rapidly.
The paper is enlarged to an eight page,
forty-eight column, and much improved.
We bespeak for them a wide circulation,
which it justly deserves.

And the Covington and Macon Will be at
Athena—Getting Shops Ready.
Colonel E. C. Machen said yesterday
that the track layers on the Covington and
Macon railrotd were within eight miles of
Athens, and this distance will be covered
in ten days. This completes the conneo
tion with the North, exeept to cross the
city, which will be done by omnibus for a
while. The mail from the North will
come over this line, putting it in Macon
several hours earlier.
As soon as the necessary machinery ar
rives, all of which haa been ordered, the
shops oi the road will be in operation in
Macon. The shops will bo in charge of
Mr. L. O. Gassett, for twenty-three years
in charge of the Lake Shore railroad shops
at Cleveland, O. He comes South for his
health, and is said to be one of the best
men for his position in the country.
No effort has been made to fill the place
made vacant by the death of Col. Frobel.
The road at present is in charge of Super
intendent McEvoy.
It is probable that the machinery
for the car works in which Col.
Machen is individually interested,
will ^ not be long in arriving. It is
intended that these works will manufac
ture cars of every description. It has been
clearly demonstrated that it is cheaper by
far to carry the iron than the wood, and
the wood being in abundance around Ma
con, an immense profit can be made in car
making. It is known that the wood used
in cars now on the track of the Covington
and Macoa was sold at Tifton, oil the
Brunswick and Western railroad, and sent
North to be returned in manufactured
ihape. '

convict labor who has a nlckle’s Interest in
it. The present Governor tain'fall aynMUry
with prison reform and the penitentiary is
being thoroughly remodeled. Convict* are
worked in the coal mine*, and a day’s work
is two-thirds of a free Hum’s day’s work.
They work over lime for pay, and many
send money to their families. They
have schooling from aix to eight o’clock in
the evening. The mortality haa beeu fright
ful; one year it was 4 to the 100 and the best
he could do was to make it 3 to the 100. The
average for the last five years is 6 to the 100
for colored people and 2 to the 100 for
whites. Forty-seven per cent of the con
victs are sick when received, 33 per cent, be-
ing incurables. The white rate of mortality
is 16 to the 1.000 and the free colored is 24
to the 1,000, but in prison it is 20 for whites
and 55 for colored. The convicts learn to
labor in the mines and after expiration of
sentences are a permanent addition to the
industrial class. They do twice as mach
" lieu free as when under sentence. Ala
bama has excellent prison laws.
Sidney Lanier.
Editors Telegraph : The divine utter-
tcrance, “A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country,” has never been
better illustrated than in the ignorance of
our own people concerning the life and
history of the lamented Sidney Lanier.
An admirer of Lanier, anxious that the
movement to erect a suitable monument to
hi* memory should take some definite
ahajie, has been casually discussing the
matter with some of our leading citizens.
He informs me that while it ia a fact that
t he birthplace of this greatestjof American
jioets still stands, and that too in one of
the prettiest streets, in one of the most
picturesque portions of the city, there was
not a person approached on the subject
who was aware ot the fact, or had even
thought of it.
One gentleman unusually well informed
on general topic* supposed that he was
born in the “Lanier Finns./’ .. I, “bore
his name,” and another equally well in
formed disputed the fact that we still have
with us the honored father of our poet. Is
it creditable to the city of Macon, the
birthplace and for so long the home of him
whose memory some of the brightest liter
ary light* of our country delight to honor,
and the anniversary of whose birth was
recently maile the occasion, at one of our
most conspicuous seat* of learning, of such
a tribute of affection ns is rarely vouch
safed to a cotemporaneous writer—I say is
it creditable to Macon that lie should be
so little known and leu honored here?

Eufauia beat Troy in a very closely con
tested game of ball yesterday. The score
by innings was as follows:
Troy ,..,,, 00 0 2 0 00 6 9 8
Eufauia 2 0 0 2 4 0 2 0 *—10
Batteries—Dillard and Swift, Dent and
Barnett. This is the second game of the
series and will necessitate the plaj ing of
another one to decide who are the victors,
each club having won a game. Eufauia
shut the visitors out in seven inning yes
terday, and it was remarkable how they
fanned the air went Dent’s deceiving
curves went by. A very large crowd wit
nessed the game.

A PHONOGRAPH’S CONTENTS.
Speeches by Gladstone nnd linlfour and n
8ong by Patti.
From the New York Times.
A phonograph will arrive at Mr. Thos.
A. Edison’s laboratory at Llewellyn Park
within a day or two, which, when it is
allowed to give forth the sounds that are
contained within it, will create no small
degree of sensation. It contains the tones
of the eloquent voice of William K. Glad
stone, ex Premier of England, the “Grand
Old Mnn,”who is now Inland’s dearest ad
vocate. Still more—there is sealed up in the
little instrument a song by the diva, Adelina
Patti, and a speech by the Right Honorable
Arthur James Balfour, Chief Secretary for
Ireland. Mr. Edison sent this most jier-
feci of all his phonographs to England
some months ago with the idea of obtain
ing for the edification of the American
jtcople the sounds of the voices of the
great English statesmen, Gladstone and
Balfour, as well as tho’e of the divine
Patti, whose last and only farewell tour is
still fresh in the memory of all lovers of
piusic in this country. The mission was a
success, and the phonograph, fnll
of eloqurnce and song, is almost
hourly expected to arrive. When Mr.
Fdi'on shall finally turn the eiauk which
shall unwind the skien ot language aud
music, a treat may he expected such as
may never be experienced again until
Gladstone, Balfour and Patti shall come iu
propria persoim.
When asked last evening as to the time
of the phonograph's arrival Mr. Edison
said: “ft will be here by the next
steamer.” 1
