Senatorial Convention at Gor
don-Other Point*.
Harrison, Ua., Sept. 19.—[Special.]—
A desperate negro named Bell Green as-
vaulted Charlie I’eterson here late yester
day evening, inflicting a slight gun-shot
around in the arm. The negro then made
his escape. It is now learned that Green
intended to kill Charlie Perkins, bosa of
the Perkins Manufacturing Company’s
business, for merely telling him to move
into another house near by, but meeting
Peterson first he insulted him and then
pulled down on him. Peterson returned
the shot, but without effect.
Last night a party of citizens, not given
to such conduct, rather did up the town by
keeping up a regular fusilade during the
whole night. Fire arms were freely dis
charged and the peace and quiet of Harri
son was much disturbed. The party was
in search of Green, and being highly in
censed at his conduct, they rather over
stepped the bounds of the law. They will
all appear before the town council to
morrow night. Public sentiment is de
cidedly against such lawless demonstra
tions. and it is to be hoped Harrison will
never have a similar occurrence.

crease over last year of 25 cents. Consid
ering the fact that the salaries of the differ
ent officers have not been reduced, and
that more improvements and expenses have
been placed upon our streets than ever be
fore, this reduction shows plainly twb
things—that the city fathers have man-
ap'd the city’s affairs vigilantly and judi
ciously, and that the taxable property of
the city l.as largely increased and at the
same time improved in value. Cutbbert,
year by year, goes steadily and solidly on
ward in :he march of progress.
There are'forty young ladies, from almost
every section of southern Georgia and sev

institution.

The rain continues to fall, and the farmers
are getting behind in gathering cotton,
and some are getting very gloomy about it.
Prof. J. L. Key is building up a good
school for us, and the people like him very

married soon, and I think she is correct

signifying that wedded life should be one
of joy and prosperity and it also was a

The Liquor Question In Laurens—Tin lllgh
'Waters—Snake Story.
Tweed, Sept. 19.—[Special.]—The most
exciting topic now which is agitating
Laurens county seems to be the prohibition
contest. The election is to be held on the
26tb, and the prevailing question asked,
"Are you wet or dry,” is heard on every
aide. Speeches are being made at every
precinct all over the county, and several
leaders are endeavoring to convince the
negro of the importance of retaining
whisky. Mr. Bill Pritchett, proprietor of
a large turpentine still, says that all of
his hands will vote a straight dry ticket.
Oconee district, according to what the
majority of the citizens remark, will poll
a very dry vote. Col. Felder addressee)
the people of Condor, and Col. Stubbs
talked to a throng at Brantley. These
gentlemen want whisky to stay, and think
the removal of John Barleycorn will be
injurious.
Mr. David Wilkes killed a large moc
casin in the swamp last week, and on
striking it with a pole thirty-seven young
ones, seven inches in leogth, came from its
mouth.
The Oconee river has been swollen for
the past lew days and travel has been im
peded for some time. Mails were delayed
end trains could not come to Dublin on
account of washouts. The river lias nearly
reached the point of the Harriion freshet
of 1840. It is still raining.
Air. Jackson Woodard of Darien is here
and will stay with his parents until the
yellow fever scare dies out on the coast.
Protracted meetings are taking place at
Blue Springs, and Carter’s chapel. Large
throngs are in atlendanc-', and it is hoped
there will be several accessions.
UPSON'S CHOICE.
A Correspondent's Statement Develops a
Diversity of Opinion.
Thomaston, Sept. 19.—[Special.]—In
to-day’s issue of the Telegraph appears
a special from Thomaston in which it is
stated that “this county (Upson) is almost
solid for Hon. Fleming DuBignon for pres,
ident of the Senate.
The people of this county know Judge
John I Hall, and knowing him would
indorse him for the presidency of the Sen
ate, or any other position he might aspire
to, if their will was not defeated by a little
court house meeting, as has been done in
this county, but which will never be done
again.
Tnoiu aston, Sept. 18. —I -notice
in to-day’s issue of your paper
that your correspondent from Thomastoo
says Upson county is almost solid for Hon.
Fleming DuBignon for president of the
Sen-tie. I wish to say that your corres
pondent is ignorant of the sentiments of
the citizens o’ this county.
Judge John I. Halt's is the only name I
have heard mentioned in connection with
that position.

merchants, but duty must be done, and
when Mr. F. A. Timberlake pronounced
his. action tyrannical, in reporting and
fining merchants who were not hauling
dan’aged grain quick enough, ho jumped
up in the recorder’s court and invited Mr.
Timberlake out for a fight. The latter
apologized, saying he had made no per

Lexington Echo: The Georgia railroad
having increased the freight rates on cot
ton from Crawford to Athens from ten to
thirty cents, our merchants are seriously
contemplating the establishment of a
wagon tiain to haul the staple. They
claim that they can haul it cheaper by
wagon than by railroad, and save freight
on goods hauled o“ return trips.
Waynesboro Citizen: On last Tuesday
a negro came to town after a coffin. Tiie
bridges over Brier creek being washed
away, it was impossible for him to get his
wagon to town, so lie strapped the coffin
on liis back and carried it several miles
in the country to his home. It was the
only thing possible under tho circum
stances and he proved equal to the sad
emergency.
Sylvania Telephone:
ternoon, of last week, during a heavy
shower, a large terrapin was rained down
in the yard of Mr. Hiram Lariscy, about
three miles above here. This may be
thought by some to be a production of the
Sylvania gas company, but Mr. Lariscy
and his wife were sitting out on the piazza
at the time, and saw the terrapin high up
in the air before it reached the ground.
It was somewhat disconcerted, lie says, on
finding itself'in his yard, but discovering
a puddle of water near by, it crawled into
it, and seemed perfectly satisfied.
TORN UY A HULL DOG.
Tlio Drendfull Experience of Little Mary
\Viill».
A Philadelphia special says: Mangled
and torn by the jawsof a vicious, worthless
brute, Mary Walts lies h-tween life and
death at h* r home No. 831 Watt street.
Wednesdiy night the giri, who is 1(1 years
old, handsome and well dev.-loped physi
cally, was standing at the dour of her home
talkiug with her mother ami a couple i f
other women w hen she expressed a \,
for a drink of icb water. Mrs. bnjilT.
who lived next door, overheard her mid
called out for her to come in and get a
drink.
Airs. Snyder’s dog, ah unusually large
bail terrier, knows to be tor;:-:
iving in the front v .rd. As Mary came to
the gum and saw tiie beast she hesitated,
when Mr-, m,viler called out: “Come in—
he won’t hurt you while I’m here.” She
passed in, anil had lurd'y closed the gate
when the brine, without » growl or note of
warning, sprang at her like a man-eating
tiger, seized her shoulder in liii powerful
jaws and dragged her to tae earth. The
poor girl screamed, seized the dog by tiie
throat, struggled to tier feet ami shook
him off, the soft fleshyielding o the brute’s
weight and tearing nwny. Again the beast
sprang upon her, closing his bloodstained
fangs in her shoulder, and again he bore
her to the ground.
When the dog seized the girl Sirs. Syn
der attempted to coax and beat him off,
the other women next door being too
frightened to do anything but scream. Tiie
brute snapped at his mistress and she fled,
in her fright closing the gate behind her,
and thus shutting off Alary's chance of es
cape. The girl fought desperately for life.
With her flesh torn from the bones, her
clothing ripped away, her young blood
streaming from her wounds over the dog’s
jaws and dyeing the brute's face and breast
crimson, alio got to the gate and opened it.
Outside she fell again, and the beast seiz
ing her, dragged her about the pavement,
shaking and rending her.
Mr. Thomas Hayes was sitting outside
No. 385 West s reet smoking when he
heard the agonized screams and ran up the
alley. By the time lie got there the dog
had dragged the girl fifteen or twenty feet
and the animal and itsvictim were against
the gate leading into Air. Hayes’s rear
yard. _ The dog had fastened its teeth on
the girl’s shoulder. She was still strug
gling, but her strength was all hut gone,
and in a few momenta more the brute
would have had her completely at its
merev.
Fortunately Mr. Hayes is a very power
ful and fearless man. lie grasped the ani
mal hjr the' throat and tried to choke it,
but this simply maddened it, and even in
the strong man’s clutch it shook the girl
as though it would tear her apart.
Using hia utmost strength, Air. Hayes
tried to force the animal’s jaws apart, aud
he succeeded in breaking its hold. Before
he could fully master the furious brute it
spranv on the girl again and seized her bv
the other shoulder as she turned in fall
ing. The dog had aimed to plant its
fangs in the girl’s throat, and, but for the
quick hand of Mr. Hayes, would have suc
ceeded, and it would have been all over
with Alary Watte before the hold could
have been broken.
Aa the dog tried to improve its hold it
opened its mouth. Plunging his hand
down it* throat. Mr. Hayes got itn iron
grip on the brute’s tongue and held it until
the nearly dead girl was picked up and car
ried into her home.
Then he released it, snd tired with its
exertions the dog ran to its owner’s vard.
He was killed yestordiy. Alary was" laid
on a mattress, her clothing cut from her
body and her fr ghtful wounds washed and
bound up. Pin- •’in.wt bled to death, for
the dog had tor-, away veins, arteries and
muscles by ni.,uil,iuls. She passed a rest-
less night, but yesterday morning was
sleeping. Her condition is dangerous, but
there is a chance for her life, though sin-
will carry her wounds to her grave. The
gallant Mr. Hayes escaped with a slight
wound on the back of his hand.
FLIRTATION,
Row amt When it ilnj be Performed.
From Vanity Fair.
Flirtation of a strictly proper kind, pro
per flirtation, means flirtation with a view
to matrimony, and, therefore, y u should
choose your uirtec with an eye to the fu
ture.
The best sort—as far as outward show
goes—is tho ratlier heavy, good-tempered
girl. She should he a little greedy—for
that will mean care in the arrangement of
vour dinner. She -InmM he inclined In
be fat—her mother's weight is always to
be noticed—for then she will probably be
domestic and disinclined lor much gadding
about. Sbe should have a charm or a
homely kind that does not attract foreign
ers; and there should he no sparkle or
skin that will easily freckle, for then she
is not likely (as otherwise would be the
case with the sort of girl I dm thinking)
to insist on picnics and expeditions of a
dull kind in search of rural beauty. She
should be very fond of her brothers and
sisters, and have one or two bosom girl
friends. The more home sentiments and
sentimental gush ehe has expended in her
youth, the calmer will he her matron
dreams.
Whether she should be ignorant or wise
depends a good deal on whether you are
ignorant or wise. At any rate ahe must—
aiid this is essential—he more ignorant or
less wise thaq yourself. A fondness for
dress is not a had thing in its way, but any
lurkingextravagancein this mattershould
be carefully inquired into, aa it may lead
to vanity, and vanity, in a woman may
lead to anything. A.friend of mine mar
ried a charming girl—innocence nnd docil
ity incarnate—who wore boots of an inde
finite shape a size too large for her. In a
moment of imbecility he rook her to a good
bootmaker and made a joy forever ot her
feet. Hero the husband put the wife’s loot
in it, and ruin came.
There is some advantage in your flirtee
having acconfplishments—site can amuse
hersell sketching or playing the piano
while you are away, but they should have
their limits, or y-.u may find yourself sud
denly pui in the backgrounnd, with art
and its professors occupying your place in
your wile’s heart and home.
Never marry—or flirt honorably—with
On Snnd iv ai- a woman who dances well. You can not
• - ‘ expect her contentedly to cease her favor
ite amusement (and no woman dances well
who does not love it) because she marries;
she can not, without your both lining ridic
ulous, dance only with you; anil, depend
upon it, it is not according to the proper
scheme of things that the mother of your
children (present or future) should contin
ually gyrate in public with young men
about whose morals you naturally have
no accurate information.
The girl you deem worthy of your hand
should be unready, slow aud uncertain of
speech. She should be cosily taken at a
disadvantage, and should be prone to blush
on the smallest provocation. A quick
witted liar is the most formidable foe a
man can take to his busum.
Whether the young woman of whom I
am trea ing should have money is, of
course, a matter between you and your
banker.
Having chosen, the first thing is to
make sure that you will be safe in propos
ing.
With the right kind of girl this should
not ho difficult. Of course you must sign
| and gaze and murmur the usual soft noth
ings; ami you would do well to see whether
a little pique or jealousy may uot be
useful now aud then. Indeed, this is indis
pensable; fur if i)ie jealousy seem very
fierce, the lady will rot do. A jealous
woman is a crown of thorns to her hus
band.
Leading up to a proposal is a very diffi
cult art; for you have to be careful that
your bridges are op-n behind you, so that
the moment you tee you are not likely to
succeed you can retreat iu good order and
without receiving any ili-ostrous volley
from the enemy. In other words, it is
your object that, if one of the two should
look foolish, it shall not be you; and if
you can only manage that the young lady
shall refuse your offer before you have
made it, you really want but little Instruc
tion.
Of course, if you have got her into this
humiliating position, deal kindly and hu
manely with her. Possibly then you may
turn her hatred to gratitude, and so have
made a friend instead of a peculiarly bit
ter foe.
One smart man of my acquaintance was
in the habit of riting to great heights of
sentiment during a ball, and in a corner of
th.' supper room, fixing his expressive eyes
on his partner’s, and whispering in trem
bling accents, “Then will you Have me?”
It mattered little whether the answer was
“yes” or “no” for he wns not a marrying
man, and uniformly replied cither that it
was a pity, for he had longed to dance the
cotillon with her, or that he was delighted,
for he certainly would not have wafted to
dance it with any one else. But he played
his little joke too often, and after a time
found it difficult to get partners. He has
sunk very low now, and lives, I believe,
on liis paternal acres in Essex, in gaiters
and a dirty shooting jacket, fattening pigs
and digging up weeds with a spud, .and
1 can remember him one of the smartest
men in town.
Of course, a girl in her first, or even per-
hajis her second, season there is littlediffi
cuity. Her eyes will show you pretty well
what answer is ready behind her ivory
teeth. But do not he too easily sttsfied
bv the quick heaving of her bosom.
There is a good deal ot excitement to a
girl in refusing a man, and that excite
ment maybethe cause of the unwonted
heaves. Always propose—or lead up to a
proposal—seated. When you arc standing

A Scheme to Fount! a "Monto Carlo" In
California Near San Diego.
Los Angeles Cor. Boston Globe.
The most enormous scheme has been
launched on this section (California), in
the last few days, in the shape of tiie
“Monte Carlo” of the western world. The
idea is built on the fact that, in less than
two years, the charter of the Louisiana
State Lottery will expire, and, although
the owners of that lottery offer to pay the
state’s debt for a continuance of their
privilege, it’s a fairly well-known fact that
Louisiana will re use such a proposition.
To give our lovei* of lottery full benefit
of the wheel, and not ahriilge any privi
lege that we have been educated to regard
ns our own, a syndicate of philanthropists
has just beeu formed, which includes capi
talists from 8an Franci co, San Diego and
this City, and two Alexic in capitalists.
They propose to lo, ate their scheme a
few miles below San Diego and just acrost
the Alex ican line, in wont is the moss
picturesque valley kuown among all the
many beautiful valleys around this coast.
The village is cow known as Tia Juans,
and consists of a blacksmith shop, a grog
shop and grocery, but these capitalists
have already secured a franchise for the
whole of lower California from the Afex-
ican government, nnd will at once begin
organizing the company. They propose,
besides running the lottery scheme, to have
all kinds of gambling. They propose to
fit up regular palaces, and every known
game will he furnished to the pleasure
seeker.
It is their intention to furnish amuse
ments to ail “without regard to previous
conditions,” etc. “If you don’t see what
you want c.%11 for it,” will meet your eye
at every turn. They assume that it will
take something like £1,000,000 to get them
started. Of course, this money, and twice
as much, will be forthcoming as soon as
they open their books for the sale of stock.
The movers in this scheme nro in earnest,
and unless something unlooked for hap
pens they will in a short time open up in
lull blast to the world the cmulerpart of
Monte CrUto, a name that is the synonym
of everything disreputable, immoral and
unrighteous.
They will expect, and wjll receive, the
patronage of the sporting men and women
of every city in the United States. The
climate is perfect in both winter and sum
mer; the air is health giving, and will re
new the life of the wrecked and broken-
down gambler. Things will be done on a
grand scale. Suicides, murders and trage
dies will be on the bill, and the now un
known name of Tia Juana (Ti Won) will
become as well known os Baden Baden of
old or Monte Carlo of to-day. The whole

bunches of bananas, aud before twite*
months have passed shall
you 150,000 bunches at the lowest
mate. As bananas become more abundant
upon otir market, aud in consequence
cheaper, the demand for them extends so
that this business is becoming one of crest
possibilities. This year for the first time
three lines of banana steamers will be run
to this port through the winter, indicating
the steady demand for this fruit. liana- ‘
uas, too, are just becoming popular in Eu
rope, so that the outlook for the producer
te encouraging, and Boston gentlemen
thinking thqt these profits might as well
come here as to go elsewhere, have organ
ized the Bay State Fruit company to de
velop the fruit-growing industry in San
Domingo. ✓
A railroad is now being built from San
chez on the bay to Santiago in the interior
a distance of nearly one hundred miles’
straight up one of the most fertile valleys
in the world. The inhabitants along the
lines of the railroad are redhot to raise
fruit for us under a contract that they
shall receive a stipulated price for all they
produce, and we are now negotiating with
the officials of the road, whoareScotchmen
and at. present in this country, for the exclu
sive right to do this trading in fruit along
their line for twenty-five years, and it
looks as though we'should secure the
same.
“Our plantation is situated on the bay,
six miles from Santa Barbara and twelve
from Sanchez. We are 1.320 miles from
Boston in a direct line, ami when we get
our line of steamers running the voyage
can be made in five days. We are nearer
Boston by a day than is Jamaica. We
raised the Amnicau flag and took formal
possession of the plantation in the name
of Uncle Sam, July 4tb, 1887.
“I have spoken of bananas only, but the
island abounds in all kinds of tropical
fruits, aud many of these we shall handle
in connection with the bananas. It is a
great place, tuo, for cocoa and tobacco, and
already lias an immense export trade—to
Europe—grown up. The scenery is beau
tiful be vond description and I lie climate is
delightful. The thermometer never falls
below 68° or rises above 96°, while the
island is in the track of the trade winds,
and one can regulate hia watch by the cool
northwest wind that springs up every day
at ii o’clock.. The Bay State Fruit Com
pany is tho pioneer Boston company in
that land of milk and honey. There is
room for others, in other lines of invest
ment, and to them I would say so through
the Advertiser.”

Ry the way. isn’t it a littlo curious that
southern women—tho women who arc usu
ally credited with being lazy—are quite in
the lead aa far aa moneymaking in this
great city goes? The head of the richest
firm of dressmakers here is a southern
woman. The women who a e making the
most by their pens are nearly all from the
south, and the few I know who keep ideal
lodging houses are also of southern birth.
I asked a man why this was, and this was
liis answer: “I think it is because the
southern woman isn’t tailor-made. She
doesn’t impress a man at first with
her ability to get the better of him, but
she stands by his side, lets him realize the
difference in their hight, impresses him
with a belief that she wants protection
and lie can give it, and, behold! nine times
out of ten he does exactly what she wants,
believing all the time that he suggested it
himself! The southern woman has been
trained for centuries to be agreeable to
already meeting with great encourage- trained for centuries to be agreeable w
ment from many men who will be rsbamed tutnkind, and just so long as she keep#
this power, just so long will she succeed in
whatever she undertakes. But whit I
to allow their names to appear as part
owners in such a factory for vice and
shame.
