One of the blggea t cotton stealing
scrapes ever known in this seotton came
to tight within the last few days, but
owing to the fast (that none of the par
ties suspected of being connected with
the gigantic theft have been arrested,
the Telegraph has • ref rained from say
ing anything about It.
It seems that on November 29 a car
containing twenty-five bales of com
pressed cotton was Shipped from Mc
Donough through Macon over the
Southern for Brunswick, consigned to
the Mallory line. The care was O. M.
& Q. No. 1059, and arrived at Brunswick
on the 39th. The Mallory line did not
call for he car, whldh had bean side
tracked at Dock Junction, tn the sub
urb* of Brunswick, until the 10th Inst.,
when it wa sfound missing. In the
meantime the car had been shuttled
about the yard and was finally mode uo
In a train bound for Moon nd mrked
empty, It having remained tn the yard
until 'the yardmaster supposed that It
was an empty and had' ordered It t» he
brought back to Macon. While the train
was tn transit to Macon the conductor
was wired to leave throe empties on
Phillip*’ side-track below Reid’s elation
to be loaded wi.h wood, W. T. Phillips
having requested that these cahe be left
there. The cars were left, and among
them G. 01. & G car No. 1050. which
wa* still supposed to be empty. The
next thing heard from the car was
when the Olallory line called for It and
it could not be found, and the railroad
officials ioimedlaitely sent out tracers to
locate the car. White Che search for the
oar was going on. Mr. Babe Phillip* of
East Macon learned that his cotton
press n*ar Ms tiding in Twiggs oounty
had been running at night, and began
an Investigation, thinking that some
ono had beep stealing his cotton and
pressing it on hl-orrn press a: ntsht.
Mr. Phillips of courue knew nothing of
the car of twenty-five bale* left on the
tiding, but In hi* earefa to And who was
stestUinr Ms cotton he found enough to
satisfy him that the cotton tort was
pressed an Wa pres* at night had boon

formed the railroad authorities. The
railroad auhtortoee immediately began
an investigation, and finally located
fourteen bate* of oot ton that had been
■old in th* city which they claim was
tb* cotton stolen from tb* oar and re
pressed and wrapped in new bagstnr.
BUt bales had been sold to MrVw smack
In East Macon, two to Mr. Ben Jones
In East Macon and six bales bad been left
with Mr. Willis Price on Fourth street,
to be sold and Mr. Price sold It to Mr.
Bnowden. The six baits left at Mr.
Price’s warehouse were carried there at
« o'clock In the morning, and th* check
tor payment was made out to W. P.
Phillips, who live* nrar Mr. Bab* Phil
llpg place In Twiggs county, of which a
man named John Ross Is overseer. Of
course th* cotton sold to the thro* ware
houaemen was sold In the usual way
and having been brought to town on Mr.
Rab* Phillips' wagon* the warehouse
men bad no suspicion whatever that It
was not alt straight. After th* cotton
bad been sold by Mr. Price Mr. Rabe
Phillips, who by this time, was convlneced
that hi* pres* had been used for pressing,
and his wagons for hauling stolsn cotton,
called on Mr. Price and told him there
was something wrong about th* cotton.
Since the discovery of the theft the orig
inal bagging on the cotton, which was
marked H. A. M. 8.. has been found In
Stone creek near Nelson s mill, where It
had evidently been thrown by the par
ties who repressed It. There are eleven
more bales of the cotton that have not

face to face with an alternative that
concerned his moonsKlnlng Interest. In
the twenty years or more that he te be
lieved to have been In th* buslnes* he
hae aent repeated warnings to the reve
nue officers her*.
So when the party who took him Tuee-
day night, left Macon, It was with th*
full expectsUon of meeting trouble. They
accordingly went prepared with a stout
wagon to hall their prisoner borne "buck
ed and gagged" If he would not eom*
more peacefully. They arrived st th*
old man’s house, a snanty away off from
th* public highway* and far distant
from any other habitation. Th* houa* In
which the old men and hie seven daugh
ter* war* sleeping, stood In tbo midst of
* large clump of tree* out In an untenant-
ed field.
It was about 19 o'clock at night when,
by bright torch light, they mad* their
long Journey through th* dismal road*
to Lorn;'* house and rapped at th* door.
It wu* opened by one of the girl*. Th*
officers apprised her of the Importsnc*
of an Interview with Mr. Long, carefully
withholding tho professional part of thslr
mission.
••Yo’ kin wake him ef yo' like, he'* la
tha back room, but 'twouldn’t be me that
would do It. He's Jes like a bear when
you wake him up.”
"Oh. well." th* visitor* rejoined. "We
will work that. Show us hi* room."
In the meantime four or flv* of th* other
girls tn ths house bad been aroused, and
they Infested tb* hallway In their im
maculate gown* staring wild-eyed at th*
strangers with guns. It was arranged
that on* of the deputies should go to tho
old man's room and break the new* to
him, while tho other two stood guard
around tho House. Accordingly one ot
ths officers went In and shook th# old
man vigorously. "Mr. Long, as a govern
ment officer. I bare a warrant for your
arrest on the charge of unlawful ’still
ing. Kindly eom* with me."
"Y# her. hev. y#:" the old man replied
with astonishing nonchalance. ""Well,
young man, fire an' we’ll talk about It
derreckly."
Tb* oflWwr was thoroughly chilled by
th* long tramp through the cold, and sat
down by a bed If hospitable coal* that
■till smouldered In th* chimney after th*
last chunk of the evening had been laid
on. The old man's apparent good hu
mor completely disarmed him ot suspi
