bis opinion of it.
] ISSm.TlNO PUBLICATIONS.
In Saturday's issue of the Avalanche
iu an editorial signed by George Martin,
lb, editor, which waa considered an insult
lo Captain Jackson and his son.
In Sunday’s Constitution Tom Cobb
Dickson wrote a long card, in which he
Jopied the editorial from the Avalanche
knd stated that Martin was too low for
lira to kick.
I in this morning’s Constitution there ap-
keartd two cards, one from George Martin
End the other from J. C. Campbell. After
Eeferring to the editorials in the Avalanche
"Martin dosed his card by saying:
“On reading the card signed by ‘Tom
(Cobb Jackson, r my first impreffiion was to
punish the impudent youngster, but after
Jnaturer reflection, I came to believe it a
[political trick and concluded to treat his
Iriporing with contempt, unless he should
[seek me, when I will turn this girl-bov-
Idude over my knee and spank him—if I
lean find anything in the big trousers he
hears to spank.’’
J. C. Campbell’a card commenced:
Sunday, Sept. 9th, 1888.—To Tom Cobh
[jackaon: You bear the honored name of
Toa Cobb, which you dishonor and'dis
h-are by publishing over your own signa-
Ilore that which you know to be a dcliber-
Im.Iv .„„i. ::„hh> of falsehoods, some of
them the creatures of your own brain,
[while others are happening which are so
I infamously garbled as to make ,hem more
[lliiuduiBahly false.
And closed as follows:
Bnt I have neither time nor space to dc-
i rote to the enumeration of the falsehoods
contained in that article, nor do I believe
I the snthor worthy.
Yonr conduct in the office was very dif
ferent from what your article would in
duee the world to believe.
You say I was “nervous” at d claimed to
1* “an old man.” Whenever jou propose
to test it I promise you I will never hide
behind gray hairs, nor be too “nervous” to
assert mj manhood.
WAITISO FOR DKVELOPMENT8.
It was the universal opinion that these
two cards meant “blood on the moon,” and
S uite a crowd collected on Broad street
iii morning to watch the developments.
Group* could be seen on all corners dis
easing the matter, while several young
mm, iriends of Tom Cobb Jackaon, were
lathe Kitten building, directly opposite
the Avalanche office, watching through ti.e
windows to see when Martin and Campbell
•onld come out of their office.
About 9 o’clock Tom Cob Jackson came
up Marietta street alone and stood at the
comer ol Broad a few minutes and then
walked ofi. Later in the morning he went
up into the law office of Morris Brandon,
•crost the street from the Ava-
Iwche o flics to watch Martin,
whom he intended to attack first.
He finally decided not to go into Martin’s
office but to attsck him on the street.
About 12:45 o’clock Mr. Albert Howell
walked into Brandon’s law office and told
•jt- Harvey Johnson, Mr. liurton Smith,
Hr- Hoke Smith and Mr. El McCandless

at auout one o'clock Messrs, Jackson,

Mr. Burton Smith for interfering with an
officer in the discharge of his duty.
THE ATTACK UPON MARTIN.
Soon after Cobb Jackson attacked
Campbell another scene of a similar char
acter was witnessed in the office of the
Avalanche. While George Martin, the
editor of the paper, was seated in his
office writing with his back toward the
door, Capt. Harry Jackson, Hoke Smith
(brother-in-law of Capt. Jackson) and
Postmaster Benfroe, whose family is re
lated to the Jacksons, walked into the
office. Just as the door was
reached Mr. Renfroe, pointing
to Martin, said to Captain Jackson, “that’s
Martin, there.” Martin did Dot appear to
hear these words, and as Jackson walked
up behind him he said: “Ale you Mr.
Martin?” Martin, as he arose from his
se»t, said: “Yes, sir; my name is Martin.”
Capt. Jackson then struck him with a
large orange walking stick on the upper
part of the forehead. The blow
was a heavy one and seemed to daze him.
This blow was followed by others in quick
succession, aimed at Martin's head. About
the time the second or third blow was
struck a young man by the name of
Thompson rushed in for the purpose of
separating the men, but was caught by
Capt. Renfroe and pushed out of the door.
A moment later Dr. Bob Westmore
land started into the room with the same
object in view. He was caught by Hoke
Smith, who pushed him out of the other
door, there being two entrances to the
room. Smith then guarded one door and
Renfroe the other, so as to prevent inter
ference from outsiders, while Jackson pro
ceeded to rain blow after blow upon Mar
tin’s head, cutting several deep gashes
from which blood spurted freely. Martin,
to protect his head from these blows,
crossed his hands over his head and several
blows struck him upon the wrists, inflict
ing gashes and bruising his hands and
wrists terribly, a fter he had been thor
oughly punished and was beaten senseless,
HokeSmithiaid to Jacks ,n,“that’s enough,
let us go,” whereupon the trio left the
office.
AN ALLEGED PISTOL.
It is said that when Martin rose from
his chair he drew a pistol out of his pocket,
which was enclosed in a rubber case, and
while endeavoring to get the pistol out ol
the case it was knocked from nis hand by
Capt. Jackson’s stick and earned away by
Hoke Smith.
Mr. Martin was taken in charge by Dr,
Robert Westmoreland, who examined his
wounds and found that they were not
serious, and after they were dressed Mr.
Martin was sent to his home in West End.
George Martin who has figured conspic
uously in this affair and against whom
the Jacksons had such a strong feeling
came from Albermarle county, Virginia,
about three years ago and started an anti
prohibition weekly. He is about 35 years
of age and stoutly built. J. C. Caraptell
is a South Carolinian. lie is small of
frame, probably not weighing more than
120 lmtinds, and has been in bad
health for a long time. At one time ke
came SWnear dyrog thst he wn» written op
in the papers as dead. He is well known
to the public meD of the state, having been
n clerk several terms under W. A. Harris,
secretary of the Senate. He is niir-cigki
years of age.
Sister* Who Want Divorces.
Atlanta, Sept 11.—Two divorce suits
were filed in the clerk’s office to-day. The
two petitioners were alike in many respects.
The suits were filed by two sisters, asking
divorces from tbeir husbands who were
brothers. Their marriage occurred in the
same month and year, and petitions in
both cases were filed on the same day.
Besides this the grounds lor divorce were
the same, that ol cruel treatment and pro
fane language addressed to them _ while
under excitement. In addition to this both
suit were filed by probably the greatest
divorce lawyer in Georgia, R. J. Jordan,
who has a sort of monopoly of .his kind in
Atlanta. . „
The applicants were Mrs. Hattie Heibert,
who asks to be legally separated from her
husband R. T. Herbert, and Mrs. I.ula
Herbert, who seeks a divorce from her hus
band, J. W. Herbert.
They ask that their maiden names be
restored to them, that of Phillips. Col.
Jordan will likely carry out the pro
gramme by getting both divorces on the
same day.
DOWN IN A WELL.
Capt. Lowe's Capture ot a Hawk That
Raided Ills Pigeons.
Everybody knows that a hawk it one of
the hardest birds in the world to capture,
They are generally shot by the farmers
whose docks of young chickens suffer, and
when one is caught tne act is regarded as
something remarkable. •
A day or so ago Capt. John Y. I/rwe,
whose model Georgia farm is on the east
side of the river, .taught one in ins well,
and it was done in this manner: The
hawk was after a pigeon, and to escape the
pigeon flew under the roof of the well
cover. Quick as a flash the hawk darted
beneath the roof and the peorpigeon in its
flight flew downward. The hawk fol
lowed and then begun the struggle
in the cool depths of the well.
A little sin of Capt. Lowe
saw the hawk as it darted into the well
and reported this fact to his father, who
went to the well at once, havlmf OBSeT-
stood the boy to say horse instead of
hawk. He at once called to some hands
at work in the field close bv, and by means
of a windlass let one of them down into
the well. The pigeon had teen injured
and the hawk showed such fight that it
wss found necessary to knock ita. head
against the curbing before sending it up.
The people in the neighborhood regard the
capture as a big and remarkable one.
Was America Ever Discovered?
At the time when Columbus started in
search of the new world, nearly, eyervmsn,
woman and child in Europe insisted that
there we* no new world to discover. J\ ben
he came back, crowned with success, a large
proportion of these good people adhered to
their theory;and if they were alive today
many of them would doubtless insist that
America had never been discovered at ali. A
man will give up anything in the world more
readily than a pet theory. For example,
look at the individuals who still maintain
that con-umption is incurable. Dr. Fierce s

THE LITTLE BLACK ANT.
An Interesting Tnlk With Doctor L. B.
Clifton.
The reporter, having heard it publicly
stated that Blavery and slave stealing were
carried on openly here in the state of
Georgia, set out to trace this report to its
source. He had but little difficulty in as
certaining that the statement had been
made bv Dr. L B. Clifton, the entomolo
gist. The reporter called on the doctor for
an explanation of this astonishing asser
tion.
"Yes,” said the doctor, “slavery and slave
stealing are still going on here in Georgia,
and in fact all over the south. Even in
many of the northern states and as far
uorth as Canada the prsetice prevails to an
alarming extent”
“You don’t mean to say that children
are.stolen from their parents, here in the
United States, and made slaves of for life?”
“Yes ” said the doctor, “the children of
formica fnsca are carried away while In
their cradles by the formica rufescens and
are kept as slaves. This is just what I
said.”
“Who is formica fusca and formica ru-
fescens?”
“They are two species of ants', one of
which capture the young of the other and
make slaves of them.”
“Oh, they are ants, then, and not ne
groes!”
“They are ants, but they are called ne
groes, or more correctly ‘niggers,’ by ento
mologists.”
“Please give me a eliort account of this
slave-stealing business.”
SOMETHING ABOUT THE SLAVES.
“Well,” said the doctor, "this habit of
making slaves obtains among several
species of ants. The most remarkable
thing about it is that the species that are
made slaves of are invariably of the black
variety, while those tribes that steal the
slaves are all light colored. One of the
species most numerous throughout the
south is the formica rufescent, and they
enslave the young of the formica fusca. I
have witnessed a number of raids made by
this species to capture slaves. The robbers
come out of their city in a body, and as
soon as they are all assembled outside the
nest form themselves into a column, just
like i(n army marching to battle. On the
front and flanks of this column are seen
scouts, who move rapidly,| examining the
ground and tracing tne scent of the formica
fusca, just as hounds trace the scent left by
the tracks of wild animals. When they
reach the immediate vicinity of a nest of
the formica fusca the army prepares for
the attack. The negro ants, who usually
discover their enemies before they reach
the immediate neighborhood of the nest,
at once retreat to the inside of their city
and plug up all the openings to the nest.
The robber ants soon determine on their
mode of attack. They swarm up the sides
of the nest and commence removing the
£ lugs which close the entrances. A terri-
le bsttle then cusues, for the negro ants
defend their homes and families with the
greatest courage. The assailants are, how
ever, almost invariably victorious. They
enter the nest and seize the cocoons con
taining the young of the n'gro ants and
attempt to curry them off. The negroi
exert themselves to prevent them and tli
combatants roll down the slope oi the
nest in
A DEADLY CONTEST.
The formica rnfescenS. h-lnfr encumbered
with the pop* ca-e containing the voting
ant, could not make its escape with its
prize if the negro ants were not so Intent
on recovering their children ihai they
cease fighting an ant after it gets pos-< s-ion
of one of the pupa cast s ami confine their
efforts to trying to take it away'from the
robber. As soon as one of the negroes
6eize hold of one end of the pupa case a
comrade of the robber climbs on the negros
back and gvnertHv succeeds in piercing
its brain with the sharp mandibles with
which it is provided. The negro at once
loosens its hold and is completely paral
yzed and out of the fight. By these tactics
the robbers succeed iu carrying off a large
number of the young fusca*. As soon as
the robbers reach their homes they turn
over these precious pupa cates to the slaves
already in the nett, who from that time
have charge of tbeir nurture. When the
pupa- of tne slave species hatch out into
perfect ants, in the nest of their masters,
thiy are most tenderly cared for, just as
the little niggers were looked after on our
S lentations thirty years ago. In a few
ays the little slaves begin their life-long
work of drudgery for their masters. They
seem to take great pride in their master’s
home, as much so as if it was their own.
Another peculiar thing is that they never
attempt to make their escape; none of
them ever take to the swamp or
RUN OFF TO CANADA
under the stimului'of abolition emissaries.
They will even side with their masters
and fight against their own species in all
future contests. One species-of slave
making ants content themselves with a
very small number of slaves. They use
them only for domestic duties about the
home, such as cleaning up, nursing the
y.-uiig ami preparing the fued. Slavery
with then! is much like it was with our
friends in the border states. This species
is the formica sanguines. But to the slaves
of the the formica rufescens a much larger
share of the labor is delegated and much
larger numbers of slaves are owned by
them. In the species rufesrens the mas
ters, that U the fertile females and the
males, do no work of any kind, not even
feeding themselves or making their toilets.
They are fed and cleaned by their sin
and are even waked up and put to bed by
them, The worker ants of the formica
rufescens confine their labors to making
war and capturing more slaves, out no no
other work. The whole community is ab
solutrly dependent on their slaves The
masters cannot build their own m-sts, can
not secure food or even feed shemselves
after it is secured, and tbeir children are
nursed and raised exclusively by the slaves.
When they migrate to » different place, or
when a new colony is started, it is the
slaves who determine the emigration,
choose tie site for the new city, and con
duct the entire business. They even pick
up their masters In their jaw- and carry
them to their new homes. If the slaves
are taken from these ants, or if thev are
separated from them, the slave holders
cannot live, but aron die of hunger. The
formica rufibarbes, who keep large colonies
of nphidet for tbeir honey, capture slaves
who
TAKE CARE OF THEIR FLOCKS,
milk the aphides and bring the honey to
tteir m.i-ter-. They even build enclusure-
tor penning these flocks, and when the pas
ture is exhausted in one place they remove
the flock to fresh leaves. The most re
markable, however, of ali lire species of
slave-makers are the so-called Honey Ants
of Mexico It h«s long been known that
one out of about every fifty of the innabi-
tants of a nest were utilize i as jugs to
hold a supply of honey for the whole col
ony. Tbete living jugs grow until they
are about fifty times as large as the other
ants, assuming the shape of a jug, and
s. ein to he composed of little more tlian a
skin filled with honey from which the rest
of the community draw their sustenance.
It is now known that these unfortunate
living vessels are slaves captured when
p-ipu*. and who arc incited to stufl’ them
selves until they grow- to an immense sine
and into which the provisions of the col
ony are stored. These honey aula are
considered a great delicacy on the tables
of the Mexicans and are served up by
merely pitching off their heads, when they
resemble in appearance largcpurplcgrapes,
but are filled with excellent honey. It is
only the neuter ants that are carried away.
AII ants’ nests contain three kinda of indi
viduals—perfect females, males, nod unde
veloped females or workers. The latter
alone are made slaves of.”
WAS OPPOSED TO SWEARING.
A Man Who Wuulil Not Sign the Board
of IlenltU Certillcate.
Tuesday afternoon Rev. II. P. Myers,
sou of Rev. E. H. Myers, a former presi
dent of Wesleyan Female college, boarded
tlie Southwestern train at Fort Valley.
When Quarantine Officer Freeman asked
him to sign cneof the usual certificates he
handed a certificate of health from a phy-
ician of Fort Valley, and said in his opin
ion it was satisfactory, and that the officer
had no right to ask him to sign the cer
tificate presented by him. The officer told
him it was required by the board of
health of Macon. Mr. Myers said ho was
conscientiously opposed to so much swear-
ifjg. The officer politely told him he must
sign it or he arrested. He still refused,
and on the arrival of the train
Macon lie was carried to
the city hall and the matter
laid before Chief Wiley. The chief imme
diately telephoned lor Dr. Walker, chair
man of the board of health. Dr. Walker
told Jfr Jfyers that it was his duty to
have signed the certificate, but as he
seemed to be in good health, and as lie had
a certificate to that effect from a physician
at Fort Valley, he would release him.
Dr. Walker says the quarantine officer
did his duty and followed instructions.
After this date, however, he would not
require persons bolding certificates of
health to sign the Macon certificates.
Jtr. Jfyers is traveling for some Bible
house, and is the first man arrested since
the quarantine regulations were put in
force.

Sheriff Wall of Washington county is in

day on’his way to Atlanta, where he went
to ’ serve a rule on State Treasurer R. V.

Treasurer Hardeman and Comptroller
Wright were important witm-sse-. They
were subpcenicd and the comptroller came

in the road and that lie could not reach
his destinatior, he returned to Atlant
Tres.-urer Hardeman made no effort to

Yesterday the sheriff aaid that Treasurer
Hardeman could not attend because of

And now the sheriff is walerbound, and

Iiiflunnce of Forest* on Fish*
From tli9 Tlmberniao.
Although scientists arc not in perfect
accord as to the influence that forests exert
upon climatic conditions, nevertheless
there is sufficient agreement among them
for ns to know that they do exert power
ful and beneficent influences in many
directions. The forest acts like a great
sieve, ar.il retains the fine particles ot the
soil, which the influence of the air and sun,
the Irost and rain, and the action
of the numherlesa roots have
lie. '.!! IJHJM-Il. In .ill CO UU-
tHai the changes of temperature
are not so severely felt as in a treeless
country, or on the open plains, and it is a
popular saying that the forest streams are
cool in summer and wars) in winter. The
fore-ts not only regulate the flow of water,
but they purify it. Where the water of
stream lias been polluted, as by sheep
washing, for instance, after having passra
for a lew miles through a shady and dense
forest, the water appears as clear as it was
previously. i
Again, it is thoroughly well established
that the presence of large tracts of timber
has a well-defined influence upon the rain
fall of the districts in which they arc situ
ated- Certain parts of France which have
been denuded of their forests are subjected
to disastrous overflows, which occur almost
annually and cause great destruction and
distress, although such visitations _ Were
entirely unknown in the previous century
while the forests were as yet intact. In
our own country, as well, tire same effects
have been observed, and tire destruction of
forests has proceeded so rapidly in Prussia
of late years that the government has
passed a law protecting timber. It was
fonmi that tin* climate in many districts
was changing, and rivers and lakes were
becoming shallow in consequence of the
whole-ale cutting away of wood. This
inauiswi iuuu.uss k oftCR
verted upon, bnt there is another manner
in which the presence of tret- exerts an
influence that is not so generally known.
Close observers have ascertained lhat
rivers running through treeless tracts of
country are nearly, if not unite, destitute
of fish, and that fish will desert a stream
from which tire timber has been removed,
although they previously swarmed therein.
In the propagation of fish it is not enough
to place the frv in the water, they must
be provided with food, and the best means
to uo this is to pri»-erve the border trees,
and in-ore a steady supply of water and
food by preserving the forests whence the
supply of food is derived. If new forests
are cultivated on the barren ranges, many
a stream, now nearly empty during dry
seasons, will be refilled with fish and food
for the many. To see the conservation
and cultivation of forest- beginning to
i modicum of the attention
a matter of rejoicing.

The EnglUh Cardinal Dips Into “the Glad
stone Ingcrioll CoIltrove^HJ. ,,
In North American Review lor September.
It is more than time that I should make
an end; and to do so it will he well to sum
up tlie heads of our argument. The Vati
can council declares that the world-wide
church is the irrefragable witness of its
u« u legation or omicsion to mamtind.
In proof of this I have affirmed:
1. That the imperishable existence of
Christianity, and the vast and un cniable
revolution that it lias wrought in men and
in nations, in the moral elevation of man
hood and of womanhood, and in the domes
tic, social and political life of the Christian
world, cannot In* :icci*unti*d for In* any
natural causes, or by any forces that are,
os philosophers sav, intra possibilitatem
natura* within the limits of what U pos
sible to man.
2. That this worldwide and permanent
elevation of the Christian world, in com
parison with both the old world and the
modern world outside of cbriitianity, de
mands a cause higher than the possibility
of nature.
3. That the church has always claimed a
divine origin and a divine office and au
thority in virtue of a perpetual divine as
sistance. To this even the Christian world,
in all its fragments external to the Catho
lic unity, hears witness. It is turtle A to
onr reproach. They rebuke us for holding
the teaching of the church to be infallible.
IVe take the rebuke as a testimony of our
changeless faith. It is not enough for
men to Bay that they refuse to believe this
account of the visible and palpable fact of
the imperishable Christianity of the Catho
lic and Roman church. They must find a
more reasonable, credible and adequate
account for it. This no man has yet done.
The denials are many and the solutions are
manj: but they do not agree together.
Their multiplicity is proof of their human
Wrigin. Tha oklm of tha Catholic church
to n divine authority and to divine assist
ance is one and the same in every age, and
is identical in every place. Error is not
the principle of unity, nor truth of varia
tions.
The church has guarded the doctrine of
the apostles, by divine a-sistance, with
unerring fidelity. The article* of faith are
to-day tne same in number as in the be
ginning;. The explicit definition of their
implicit meaning has expanded from age
to nge, as the ever changing denial and
perversions of the world have demanded
new definitions of the ancient truth. The
world is against all dogma, because it is
impatieat of definiteness and certainty in
faith. It loves open questions and the lib
erty of error. The church is dogmatic for
fear of error. Every truth defined add* to
its treasure. It narrows the field of error
and enlarges the inheritance of truth. The
world and the church are over moving in
opposite directions. As the world becomes
more vague aud uncertain, the church be
comes more definite. It moves against
wiml and tide, against the stress and storm
of tlie world. There was never a more
luminous evidence of this siinernaturnlfact
than in the Vatican n.uticil.
For eight months all that
tin* world could say and do, like the font

They were in dread lest the cbnrcTi should
declare that l>v divine assistance il- bend
in faith and morale cannot err; for, if this
be true, man did not found it, man cannot
reform tt, man cannot teach it to interpret
its history or its acts. It knows itl own
history and is the supreme witness of its
own legation.
I am well aware that I have been writing
truism* and have been repeating trite and
trivial arguments. They are trite because
the feet of the faithful ior nearly nineteen
hundred years hvre worn them in their
daily life; they are trivial bccatiso they
point to tlie one path in which the way

Roche fort's First Dost.
From Dandel's -Thirty Years ol Paris."
One day, in consequence of an article, on
what subjest I no longer remember, he had
a duel with the edilor of the (iauloisnews
paper. The Gauloia of tiiat day (for tlie
title of a newspaper in France has more
incarnations than Buddha, and passes
through more hands that the betrothed of
tlie King of Garbe), the Gauloia was one
of those ephemeral cabbage leave* such as
ipring up between the paving stones
around the cafes of the theatres and tlie
literary taverns. The editor, a short, jolly,
witty, red and round little man, waa, as far
as can recollect, called Delvaillc and signed
himself Delbrect, no doubt thinking that
a prettier name. Delvaille or Delbrect.
whichever you please, had provoked
Rochefort. Rochefort would have preferred
to fight with pistols; not that he was a
very alarmingly good shot, but he had
sometimes won a few macaroons at a fair;
while, aa to a sword, neither from far nor
from near, could he remember having seen
such a thing. Delvaillc, having been
challenged, had choice of weapons and dressed
chose swords. “Very well, then,” said
Rochefort, “I will fight with swords.” A
rehearsal of the duel was held in Paul
Vernon’s room. Rochefort was willing to
run the risk of being killed, but not that
of appearing ridiculous. Vernon had
therefore summoned a great sergeant-
major of zouaves (since then cut to pieces
at Solferino), very skillful at the salutes,
attitudes and manners moat i" fashion in
tlie barrack fencing school. “Aft^r you—
not at all—to please you—proceed, sir.”
After ten miuutes’fencing,Rochefort might,
as grace went, have shown the most mous
tached la Itamee iio. MutiL w-ri. Th;
two champions met tlie next day in those
delightful aoods of Chaville. between Paris
and Versailles, which we all know so well,
often spending Sunday there in leas war
like pastimes. A cold, fine rain was fall
ing that day, making bubbles on the pond
and veiling in a fine miat the green circle
of hills, the slope of a plowed field and the
fallen, aides of a red sand pit. The com
batants took off their shirtr, notwithstand
ing the rain, and, but for the gravity of
the aituation, one would have been tempted I
to laugh at seeing, face to face, this little [
fat and white-naired fellow, in a flannel '
vest piped with blue at the wri-ts, putting |
himself into position a» correct! * as on the
platform; and Btchvfort, lanky, spare, |
yellow, grim as * death s bi-a.l, anil so ,
cusi-'l in iionr ribs that one really doubted I
whether ihere was space iiimn bis Inaly for i
the prick of a sword. Unfortunately he J
had fo-gotten in the night all the tine les
sons of the sergeant-major, held his sword
like a tap.r and made the most reek Iu-
thrus.s, leaving himself exposed. At the
first pass I* rei eived a thrust which grazed
his side. Tlie -word had scratched him
