Lightning Strikes Mr Cor
bin’s Vineville Home
AND INJURES EICHT OF NINE ROOMS,
But None of the Family is Hurt The D«m-
nge Estimated at About Five Hun
dred Dollar*-Home Fortunate
Escapes from Injury.
Mr. N. B. Corbin, of Cox & Corbin,
lives in Vineville, near the place of Mr.
C. H. Rogers’. Friday night he was on
his way home when the storm came up
and was in all that lightning which accom
panied the wind aud rain. On his arrival
at home he found his household in the
ntmost confusion. Lightning struck the
hoarse in five different places, and eight
out of the nine rooms of the house were
more or less injured. There are no rods
on the house, and it seems that the light
ning took a special fancy to the cupalo on
the building and played about it reck'
lessly, branching off in the five different
directions. When the first stroke came
Mrs. Corbin was seated about the center of
the sitting room. She found herself on her
knees in one corner of the room considers
bly shocked. She was glad enough to see
Mr. Corbin, who arrived a few minutes
alter. ...
On close investigation yesterday Mr.
Corbin found that the lightning had liter
ally gone all over the house. It showed
that it had gone between the weather-
boarding and the plastering, throwing the
plastering into the rooms and pulling the
boards on, nails and all, as well as if it
had been down with a hammer. But with
all its work the roof was not damaged ex
cept in one place, where a hole the size of
a bat was made. The family had some
narrow escapes and were badly frightened;
but fortunately none were hurt in the
slightest.
The house was recently built and was
a handsome two-story cottage. The dam
age to it is estimated at $500.
NOT GRAMS.
A Little Worm That Kills it Effectually.
One of the most important exhibitions
at the fair will be the eggs of a little worm
that kills the nut grass. As all farmers
are interested, the following comm'nnica-
tion the New Orleans Times-Democrat is
CARLISLE TO COME
And Bring Frank Hurd* the Great Free
Trade Orator, With Him#
Secretary Nisbetof the State Agricultural
Society yesterday received a letter from
Hon. James H. Blount to the effect that
Speaker Carlisle will be in Macon during
the fair, and with him Frank Hurd. Col.
Blount says Mr. Carlisle has agreed to
come to Georgia, and that to get him to
Macon is something very probable. If he
comes he will address the people on the
opening day of the fair. There will be
ten thousand people from abroad to listen
to this distinguished man, and the crowd
will be even greater if he is aocompanied
bv Mr. Hurd,
It will thus be seen that President
Northen and Secretary Nisbet are busy in
getting the people together at (be fair and
in entertaining them.
THE POULTRY SHOW.
Secretary Nisbet said yesterday that it
was probable that the Columbus exposi
tion and the state fair would enter into an
agreement w.icreby the poul'-y display at
the Columbus exposition would be trans
ferred to Macon aud shown at the state
fair. The Columbus exposition begins on
Oct. 4th aud continues until the 18th.
The state fair begins on Oct. 10th. By
the agreement with Columbus the entries
in the poultry department will
not close at Macon until Oct. 12th,
and the poultry exhibits at Columbus will
then have full time to stay through the
Columbus exposition and also get to
Macon to exhibit at the state fair. The
poultry display at the state fair promises
to be one of the most beautiful and largest
ever seen in the south, and the arrange
ment with Columbus increases the oppor
tunities of adding to and making even
more attractive the display at Macon. It
is a good arrangement the management of
the two exhibitions will make.
LOST IN THE DARKNESS.
given:
Madison Parish, Aug. 15, 1888.—The
people of Madison parish have been very
much interested in the last few months in
an experiment carried on by Mr. F. L.
Maxwell upon his Kilarnev plantation in
the extermination o( coco grass. In a trip
north last summer Mr. Maxwell met a
planter from the West Indies, who told
him of a worm which in his island had
destroyed large tracts of coco. The worm
is known to scientists as “Sphactalis vul
garis minor,” and is of a light gray color.
It lives by borrowing into the nut,
•which it eats for food. Tbll
spring Mr. Maxwell wrote io the planter
■in the West Indies and had him to send
him several hundred of the eggs laid by
the moth which produces this worm.
They were sent through the post on blades
of gran where the moth had deposited
them, and were wrapped in wet moss so as
to prevent them from drying up. When
the box was opened several of the eggs
had hatched and the little worms were
crawling around in the box. In a few
days about twentv more hatched, but the
remaining eggs had been spoiled by the
trip. Mr. Maxwell took the voung worms
to one of his worst coco patches, and scat
tered them cn the grass for a space of
about three feet in circumference.
■ For about a week no signs of the worms
■Were seen, and Mr. Maxwell began to fear
that it bad proven a failure, when one day
in examining the spot he noticed that sev
eral of the coco plants had wilted and in
examining the nut he noticed that the
worm had bored into it and killed the
. .germ. In looking at the spot several
weeks after this he noticed many eggs
which had been deposited under the under
side of the blades of the coco grass; the
first patch of worms had developed into
chrysali, had grown into moths and had
deposited their eggs. In a short while
thise aggs hatched and the worms started
upon their work of destruction. The first
eggs arrived about the middle of May and
ami;* that time there have been five crops
of worms, each snccessive crop increasing
at more than geometrical progri
sion, for every moth will lay a millii
eggs. I went over to Mr. Maxwell’s plan
tation last Saturday to see the work the
worms had done and Mr. Maxwell took
me over his place and told me all about
them. The worm after hatching follows
the blade of gross down, eating as it goes,
till it reaches the nut into which it bores
destroying the germ. Mr. Maxwell in
formed me that in some cases they went
two feet in the ground to get at the nut.
They have done good work on Killarney
plantation. In three months’ time from i
start of about thirty worms they have iff
creased in such force as to number billions
and have destroyed fully ten acresof grass.
Jn every case where the nut was near
enough to the surface to put up leaves the
worms have followed the grass blade down
to the nut and destroyed it.
Mr. Maxwell is very enthusiastic over
4bia discovery. He is making arrange
ments to preserve over winter sufficient
eggs and chrysalii to get an early start next
year, and he hopes thus to destroy all the
coeo on his plantations. Some nnts may
The Experience of an Old Gentleman Get*
ting Home Last Night.
Friday night just af tei the storm and dur
ing the time the electric lights were out,
Mr. Harris, father of Mr. Jacob Harris,
who lives at 720 Second street, started
home but was unable to gee his way. He
walked until he was exhausted, being
quite feeble, and then fell on hisknees and
tried to crawl. Mr. Bobert Bostick, in pass
ing saw the old gentleman and offered to
take him home. They went some dis
tance and stopped at the house supposed
by Mr. Harris to be the right one. On
leaving, Mr. Bostick met four or five peo
ple with lanterns looking for Mr. Harris.
He showed them where he had carried
him, and it was found to be the Sherwood
house just across the alley from where
Mr. Harris lived.
The night was exceedingly dark and
Mr. Harris being quite an old man, he
was as unable to see as if he had been
blindfolded. It was a kind action on the
part of Mr. Bostick, and no doubt was ap
preciated by Mr. Jacob Harris, as well as
his father, who might have suffered con
siderably from the exposure.
FIIOW THE OLD TO THE NEW.
Maj. Knapp Assumes the Duties of Ills New
Position To-day.
General order, No. 3 of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad, issued Sat
urday reads:
"Mr, A. C. Knapp is hereby appointed
fraffic manager of the Georgia Southern
Aud Florida railroad to take effect this
date. J. Lane, General Manager."
Maj. Knapp came to M&ttm to take the
agency of the Central nine years ago, and
during that long time proved himself a
moat efficient official with whom the busi
ness community had pleasure in dealing.
He takes hold of the Suwanee River
Boute with sleeves rolled up, and no better
selection could have been made.
H!b successor, Mr. Englerth, will enter

DEATH OF CAPT. DENSE.
He Dlss Suddenly of Henri Disense at Uls
i liome la Macon,
The many friends of Capt. James E.
Dense will be pained to learn of his death,
which occurred very suddenly Saturday
at his residence on the Armory lot, of
paralysis of the heart.
For some time Mr. Dense had been
troubled with malarial fever and a few
nights ago he left the union depot, where
he was employed, with a hard chill on him.
Dr. Etheridge was called in and prescribed
for him. Yesterday morning Dr. Ethe
ridge visited him and found his pulse to
be 180, and warned him not to go out, as
any undue excitement would end in death.
About 1 o’clock Capt. Dense, who seemed
anxious to return to bis poBt of duty, got
tip, and dressing himself, started out the
back way of his home, when he fell ueau.
Capt. Dense was about 51 years old, and
in Ins day was one of ths most popular
conductors that ever ran on the South
western railroad. He was known exten
sively for his humor and made friends by
the score.
He ieaves a wife and one son, Mr. IV. B.
Dense, who recently mbved to Montgomery.
TWO BOTTLES CURE RHEUMATISM.

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from
an acute attack of rheumatism, caused by
The Chancellorship—Mormons In Clurlce—
Methodists and Immersion.
Athens, Aug. 31.—[Special.]—Cotton is
coming in pretty briskly in spite of the
bagging trust. Most of the bales received
thus far, however, are packed in second
hand bagging.
The name of Prof. David C. Borrow is
.prominently mentioned in connection with
the chancellorship of the state university.
The Mormons continue to hold meetings
in the country aiound Athens, aud are
making more converts than one would sup
pose possible in this enlightened section.
They have ordained two elders in Clarke
county—one of them formerly a young
minister, so we learn. These people are
not molested in their meetings. For a time
they used the school houses, but to this the
.citizens objected, when they changed their
places of worship to the residences of per
sons who sympathize with them.
Lately there seems to be a strong dis
position among the Methodists in several
neighboring counties to be baptized by im
mersion. A few days since there was a
big revival at a country church in the
portion of Elbert county, when twenty-two
persons joined. Twenty-one of the number
elected to be baptized by immersion, and
a neighboring creek was dammed up and
used as a pool.
Sometime since Dr. Lyndon purchased
the old Turner house and lot on Jackson
street and remodeled and greatly improved
the building thereon. This week he sold
the place for $3,500 to G. H. Hulme, con
ditioned that Mr. Hulme was to occupy
the place for two months to see if it suited
him. There is an active demand for
Athens property.
W. C. Orr, one of our prominent cotton
buyers, lias just returned from a two
weeks’ trip into Towns county.
The unfounded reports about there being
an unusual amountof sickness in Athensare
doing our city some injury, There is not
a healthier spot in Georgia than Athens,
and, if anything,' there has been less sick
ness thanubu&I thi- year.
Every carpenter and brickmason in our
city is employed on the new buildings
going up on every hand. Besides the ex
tensive repairs to the rock college and
university buildiugs, a handsome brick
business block is going up on the site of
the old Clinard House. In every part of
the city the sound of the saw and hammer
is heard. Messrs. Geo. T. Hodgson and C.
D. Flanigan are each constructing beauti
ful residences on Prince avenue. Mr.
Hodgson’s house will cost $8,500, and be one
of the most unique residences in the city.
The widow of the late Chancellor P. H.
Mell is Lnishing a very pretty home on
Millege avenue, with a very large conserv
atory adjoining. It is said that Mrs. Meil
will go extensively into raising hot-house
flowers for market.
There j: s great demand for building
lots.
The Young Men’s Christian Association
will soon break dirt on their handsome
new building to be erected on the corner
of Clayton and Lumpkin streets. It will
cost between $12,000 and $15,000, and have
atom on the first floor.
H. L. Crawford, manager of our opera
house, has received a letter from a prom
inent hotel man of New York proposfMr to
rent a house in Athens, and, it a mMCp'le
one cannot be had, that he would eife* a,
handsome building himself. There lias,
been considerable talk about a fine hotel
for Athens, but thus far nothing 5ta*
grown ont ol it.
The Oconw cemetery is now about fall,
and there is no chance to enlarge it. It it
proposed by a company of gentlemen in
Athens to purchase on the outskirts of the
city, in some desirable locality, a hundred
or more acres fcf land for the purpose of
turning it into a model burying ground.
ALBANY.
Receipts of Cotton—Flying tbe Flint—Per-
sonal Mention.
Albany, Kept. 1.—[Special.]—Albany
baa received over 4,000 bales of this year’s
cotton, being unusually large receipts so
early in the season. The rust and the
drought of last month have forced the
staple into maturity, and a shortened crop
is predicted. Large quantities of cotton
are being received by wagon here to-day.
Large wagon trains are coming in from
Webster, Terrell and other more distant
counties. Over 640 bales were received
yesterday.
The little steamer Ruby, Capt. Mrocz-
kowski of Bainbridge, has commenced
plying the waters of the Flint river be
tween that city and Albany. She made
her first trip yesterday, arriving here in
the afternoon ladden with cotton from
Newton and Davis’ landings.
Instead of tearing down the Barnes
housfc stables the owner has leased them to
a new firm, James Jones & Co., who will
open up a livery and sale stable there
about Sept. 15. Upon the understanding
that this property was to be torn down the
city council removed (torn the Barnes
property the fire limit rrttrictiona, giving
the proprietor the right to maka any addi
tions to the hotel property she desired.
This new move will cause them to recon
sider their action, and a meeting is 'to be
called (or this purpose.

PERFECT FOOD.
destroys it. We feel confident that if we
can keep tbe stock of worms alive they
will destroy the stock of coco in this sec
tion, and our people are jubilant over the
idea. Mr. Maxwell informed me that he
desired to distribute the eggs over the
south, and that he would be pleased to
enter into correspondence with anyone in
terested in the matter. His address is K.
L. Maxwell, Monnd Station, I.a. Knowing
what I do abont this worm, and having
eeen their work, I am confident that they
will be the means by which we will corn-
mately get rid of onr coco. T. G. Lane
Political Etiquette.
From tbe'Bouton Herald.
The New York Hun insists that etiquette
requires that Gen. Harrison shall vote (or
President Cleveland and that President
Cleveland ihall vote for Harrison. Gen.
Hancock, it is said, set this example by
voting for hit opponent, Mr. Garfield, in
1880. It will be worth while to conaider
whether a vote for Harrison in New York
is worth as mnch as a vote for Cleveland
in Indiana. Both are mighty close states,

after using this bottle, lie became so much
better that I got the second bottle which is

tinuing its use, a perfect cure will be ef
fected. I consider B. B. B. a most excel
lent blood purifier. Ciias. H. 1ms,

The New* from Maine.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Have you heard the news from Maine?
—a question that used to be put at demo
crats in such significant style—is now re
vived and thrust at certain rather dis
gusted republicans with no little wicked
ness vs they recall Mr. Blaine’s Portland
“put-hu-foot-in-it” speech on the subject
ol trusts. It ia an injunction as to
Shakespeare's “Hamlet” to acton and
other performers—“to apeak no more than
ia set down for them.” Had Mr. Blaine
kept that in mind and adhered to the Chi
cago platform, he would not have coma so
near following in the footsteps of the gone
hot not forgotten Borchard.

timber is on the ground and the construe
tion of . the building will be pushed to
completion. The organization ia strong in
the county.
Hince the resignation of Tax Collector
Pollock there has been somewhat of a
muddle as to whether or not tbe place
shall be filled by election or appointment.
The commissioners ordered the place filled
hv un election, but that order has been re
called and an appointment is considered
the legal way of filling tbe position. The
question that now agitates the mind of the
county commissioners ia who ahoold make
tbe appointment? Doei the duty devolve
on the commissioners, tbe ordinary or the
county judge? The legal fraternity are di
vided on the queation.

night about 8 o'clock wheu a freight train
on the eastern division of tbe Americas,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad reached
the city, John Fuller, a colored train
hand, was missing. He was known to
have been on the train when it last stop
ped at Huntington. Search discovered
him three miles from the city, litterally
torn to pieces. It is supposed that he fell
from tne train from having fallen asleep,
or from other careless cause.
Late yesterday afternoon as George
Gaines, a colored wood-hauler, was d iv-
ing his cart along Lee street he ran over
little Hazel, the 2-year-old daughter of L.
S. Tower. Some of her bruises are painful,
but none serious. It was reported to the
police as a case of willful carelessness and
Gaines was arrested. He had a partial
hearing this morning before the mayor.
The case will be concluded to-morrow.

wounded in the leg.
It has been raining constantly for 24
hours, and an overflow and another total
destruction of crops on bottom lands is
feared. One of the leading cotton men
to-day, for the first time, acknowledged
that the erops will be exceedingly short
for this section.
The police to-day arrested Steve Perry,
one o^the sharpest sneak thieves ever cap
tured in this city. Mr. John Crawford, at
whose drug store he was employed as a
porter, noticed in an up-town store some
segars sold exclusively by his firm. He
investigated and found that Perry had
stolen about 5,000 cigars, besides enongh
oils, medicines, etc., to run a drug store.
There were two business changes in

Herbert Fielder, a former citizen of Cutb
bert, died at his home in Deming, New
Mexico, last Friday, newa of which sad
event was received in Cuthbert on yester
day. This will be heard with regret by a
large number of the legal fiaternity of
Georgia, and his many friends and ac
quaintances throughout the state. Col.
Fielder and family came to Cuthbert im
mediately after the war, and he engaged in
the practice of his profession, the law. At
this he won distinction and soon arose to
be one of the foremost lawyers in south'
west Georgia. About 188*2, thinking s
broader and wider field ol usefulnrss
awaited him elsewhere, he left here and
located at Deming, where he has since re
sided and won honorable distinction, lie
was popular here in Cuthbert, and the
news was received with sadnses.
He DtsnrmeU the Sheriff.
Athens, Ang. 31.—[Special.]—On
Thursday Sheriff Overby ol Oconee county
had a desperate encounter with a negro
criminal named Jim Scott, near High
Sboala in Morgan county. Finally the
negro wrested a pistol (rum the hands of
Ihe sheriff and escaped. Scoil had served
two terms in the penitentiary, one for
shooting at Mr. Charlie Bensse of Athens.
Bensse’s life was saved by the bullet strik
ing a razor in his breast pocket.
Wool ami Whisky.
From the New York Com mere id Advertiser.
When the merchaut, lawyer, doctor,
clerk, railroad man, mechanic or laborer
buys a winter’s outfit o( woolsn clothe* for
his fumilv, more than sixty-nine cents in
every dollar that he ltays out is a tax, over
and above the actual value of the goods.
Part of this tax is paid to the govern
ment and part of it to the members of a
favored class. But why should so high a
tax be imposed on so necessary an article
of universal use? ®Now that the govern
ment has more revenue than it needs, why
should not the tax of nearly 70 per
cent, be reduced, aa it ia proposed by the
Mills bill? Is it fair thus to make every
man, woman and child in the country pay
a dollar for each thirty cents worth of,
woolen good) bought in order that the few
people who are enriched out of the pro
ceeds of the tax shall continue to grow
richer? Are the people made better off by
stit'li a tax? Would it be wise or just to
abolish the tixes on whisky and tobacco
and retain tfiia enormous tux on wool and
wooiera, aa the Republican party in its
p'atforni declares, or would it not be
wiser and luster to retain the whisky and
tobacco taxes for revenue aa the presicent
proposes, and cot off nearly nineteen mil
lions of dollars of the taxes da wool and
woolen goods, as is proposed in the Mills
bill.
Perfect food is that which, while prepared in the most
appetizing form, is also the most wholesofhe and nutritious
It should never be necessary to sacrifice the wholesomeness
of an article in order to make it more palatable, nor, as fe
too often the case, should we be compelled to take our
bread or cake bereft of its most appetizing qualities in
order to avoid injury to our digestive organs.
The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality
not possessed by any other leavening agent, that applies
directly to this subject. It provides bread, biscuit, cak#
muffins, or rolls, which may be eaten when hot without
inconvenience by persons of the most delicate digestive
organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised
with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before
it can be eaten with safety. Distressing results likewise
follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the
cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum,
phosphates, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin
and the delicious hot griddle cakes raised by the Royal
Baking Powder are as wholesome and digestible as warm
soup, meat, or any other food.
A qualification which makes the Royal Baking Powder
inestimable as a leavening agent,
