James , nominated by the Democrats of the Sixth District The AlsbamaState elections came off this week. The Democrats have carried the State by a large majority The "dengne” epidemio inTampo, Fla.! has about died ont for want of material opon which to feed. The disease, thongh painful, has not been fatal. - t ' i' . ’• Only four deaths hate occurred within the corporate limits of Amer icas during the last mx months. The city claims a population of 6,000. Few places can show such a record. Congress adjourned this week, af ter passing the appropriation bill over the President’s-veto. The closing scenes of the session were marked for its quiet and soberness—so unlike other adjournments. Judge Henry K. McKay has de feated Judge Atkins in the race for judgeship of the newly made United States Judicial District of Georgia. The Savannah News speaks of Judge McKay in the highest terms. A correspondent of the Savannah News from Screven county writes that paper recommending P. W. Meldrim, of Savannah, to fill Col Black’s place in Congress, iu the event CoL Black should not be the choice of the con vention. Hon. J. C. Clemente has been nom inated for the race in the Seventh District by the Democrats. Now just see Mr. Felton left out in the cold again. “Tho cuckle-burred-mule-colt, 1 as Felton called him, u more then the reverend gentleman can conquer. An effort was made in Congress to reduce the taxes of the country $48,- 000,000. It ' was objected to on the grounds that it took taxation off of the rich and left it on the poor.— Banks and like institutions were to be relieved, but the cotton grower was still to be left under its burden. The bill was lost Judging from the nnmberof certifi cates a certain unmarried office-hold er of this State has given to the com pounders of patent medioines, he has had or is having every ill that hu man flesh is heir to. He has been in pnblie servioe fpr, store than forty years, and has given, on an average, five certificates to patent medioines a year, and we are daily expecting to see his name attached to a card certi lying to the merits, of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup and B radii old’s Fe male Regulator. . “Educato your children and the country is safe,” was a saying of WebBter. This baa been taken as a motto by the people of Scriven coun ty. If she and her sister counties will only carry out this motto, we may soon hope to see a pleasing change introduced into the state of churches and society. When our people are brought up. to that standard of edu cation, that principle, not prejudice shall manage the helm, then will the ship of state be safely guided to her moorings. . . The riot at Eastman on last Sun' day was the teoet terrible thing that has come to our knowledge in many years—a liquor-infurivted mob takes possession of the town, and murder |g ntinffanfling young man! No good comes of these excursions, and it woula be well, if the railroads do not stop allowing them, for every fijwn in the Stem to quarantine against them os they would against smallpox or any other contagious or infectious disease. Tia a sad com mentary on the state of religion. The preparation of heart to serve God was complete, it would seem, with these armed, whiskey-crazed campmeeting visitors. that has and twS negroes from points w were in town that day, and by some means whisky was very finely! ter mores were drunk. During the afternoon an ap- rest was made by the Marshal and Depntyr of a negro charged with stealing a watch. - On his way to the jail be tried to secure bis liberty by running, he was fired at and killed. This incensed the mob and the whole town was in a perfect fever of excite ment The negroes made search for the Marshal and Assistant, swearing vengence. * A young man named Harvard, from Cochran, who had come down with the excursion from that end of the road, was pointed out as the party desired. He was forth with fired upon. He fled into a house near by but was dragged out and murdered, and his head beat to a jelly. In. the melee which seems to have ex tended over several hours, three or four negroes lost their lives. Quite a iiumber of prrests have been made and it is hoped the perpetrators will have justice meted out to them. The conductors on the two excursion trains in the afternoon had all they could do to preserve order. East man is thoroughly satisfied with its excursion experience. Later.—A private letter from East man informs ns that thirty-five of the rioters and ring-leaders have been se cured, aod the officers are after the rest ■ From the present outlook there will be but four ebanges in Georgia represenatives in- Congress. Mr, Black from the First District -will not allow his name, to go before the convention on ooconnt of health. Judge Crisp has been nominated in the Third in the place of Gen. Phil. Cook, and if there are three candi dates in the Ninth, Speer Inde pendent, Daggar Republican, and the Democratic nominee, Daggar will have an easy walk over. And lastly some man to take Mr. Stephen’s place from the Eight. Blount, Turner, Hammond, Buobannon and Clements will evidently be returned—and should be. The good people of Dobbs’ Ferry, a straggling village on the Hudson, being tired of .the noise and turmoil of Sunday excursions from the city, have planted a cannon on the bank of the river, and propose hot shot for any party of Sabbath breakers who may seek to land there. They want quiet, and propose to have it at the mouth of the’ cannon if necessary. One of our exchanges tells of a cat fish found near Calhoun. It measured five feet between the eyes, and swol- lowed a three year old cow. If the boys in that section catch many more such the river will be reduced to the size of an ordinary spring branch and will not afford water efficient to float the Mary Carter. The Middle Georgia Teachers’ In' stitute at Milledgeville opened, ac cording to announcement, on last Tuesday, and about forty teachers registered the first day. Daring the week a number of others came in, and the total entered up to Friday was fifty-five. John Williams, an aged citizen of Monroe county, drowned himself this week by tieing a weight about his neck and casting himself and weight into the loving arms of Tobesofkee creek. The eifa’genn of Hawkinsville have protested against any more Sunday excursion trains to or from that plsoe. The late experience at Eastman added to former offenses is the cause of this action. Mr. Wm. Veal of Twiggs county has just lost his third wife, the first having died just fourteen months be fore. Thf>lr Beauties and Attraotions- A Railroad Eooentrioity. Quitman, Ga., August 8, company by the a ruing,'on the B. & a short trip to the wire- grass region of Georgia—principally Brooks county. I saw nothing along the Hbe of the B. & A. road to break up ifro monotony of the hot, dusty, tedious three-hours’ ride to Waycross except the great nundmr and extreme height of the cabbage palmettoes, some of them, being at least fifty or sixty feet high, and pre senting a grand appearance. The email patches of corn, cotton, pota toes, etc., along the line all appeared to be well devalued, and, if they be an ipdex to more.extensive planting, I predict at least home-made bread an other year. I arrived at the beautifulandgrow- ing little village of Waycross just in time to bear, the gong sound for din ner—always a welcome sound to ma—‘ and immediately repaired to the King House, and there refreshed the inner man with just such culinary articles as clever men like friend King can get up. Our well, wishes for him were only exceeded by the vigor with which said viands were tackled. The next thing to do was—thanks to the railroad authorities—to while away the next nine or ten hours to the most advantage possible. Availing our selves of this unsought privilege, we wandered over the little city, and I could but note the handsome dwell ings built and being built, which, to gether with the large and commodi ous stores, offices and places of busi ness generally, would certainly do credit to the more pretentious Bruns wick. I could but note, also, the lux uriant growth of beautiful oaks, inter spersed with China trees. The accura cy with which they are arranged on each and every sidewalk throughout the entire town, and the promptness with which all dead or defective ones are removed, to give place to live, healthy ones, are examples well wor thy the attention of the Brunswick city fathers. Waycross’ corporate limits are two miles square, embracing the new sta tion at the junction of the S., F. & W. and the Waycross & Jacksonville railroads, and the old station of Te- beauville. Waycross claims, for the sake of incorporation, 1,500 inhabit ants, thongh she would fall far short of that. She has only one (a Metho dist) church, but the Presbyterians have recently bad a beautiful square given them, and will soon begin the erection of a church in keeping with the growing place. The Baptists, al so, determined not to bebutdone, have caught the infection, and at do distant day will worship in their own edifice. But we go on. The B. & A. train puts us down, bag and baggage, at old Waycross. The ticket office is at the new station. We board the train at the old station at9:30p. u., intend ing to get off at the now station, one- fourth of a mile distant, and secure our tickets to .place of destination (Quitman), but almost before start the conductor steps up and says "your fare, sir.” Alter telling him my intention of securing my tick et at the ticket office, he informs me, in. a manner most emphatio that the fare to the tioket office—twenty-five cents (at the rate of $100 per mile— must be paid. I insist, but he per sists, declaring that though it is a regular swindle—a railroad “take in” —he demanded the fare in self de fense, and that I should not ride on bis train unless I “forked over.” I “forked.” What do yon think of that, Mr. Editor? A bigger swjpdleor a more contemptible uct none but a railroad oompauy would be guilty of. I arrived at Quitman, safe and sound, on the 1st inst. Quitman is a beautiful railroad town of fifteen or sixteen hundred, souls, and one can but notice the large brick stores, so compactly and neatly built Brick here cost but seven dollars per thou- court house is oodi iore assuming B. room would compare favorably with the Legislative hall in Atlanta. In thiQ.bailding we find the office of the editor of that sterling, wide- awake, spity. newspaper, the Quitman 0r>nd CI Free Press. He is also Ordinary, i,ooo Piano* ana organ* real estate agent,' insurance agent, *•**•"• etc., etc. He sayB all id well and “the goose hangs high-’’ I have visited the cotton factory- new scene to me. Several attempts have been made in the last few years to successfully run this institution, but, up to a short time ago, all had failed. I believe a man has at last been secured—Mr. Gorton, of Colum bus—who understands wbat he is about. This gentleman informed me that at present he got ready for the looms about four bales, or two thou sand pounds of cotton, daily, which is shipped North, there being, as yet, no looms, in this factory, though Mr. Gorton informs me that he will put in' about seventy-five looms next spring. Here we find all sizes and ages em ployed, both male and female, from the spry little eight-year-old girl to the rheumatic old grandmother, and from the little knee-high ragamuffin to the decrepit old gray-beard, and these, with the thousands of spindles and other necessary appurtenances, make quite a new and novel scene to me. While visiting this factory, the alarm of fire was given. Immediate ly the engineer shut off steam, and all was confusion—mothera hurrying here and there, gathering up their flocks of ohildren, lovers stepping to the sides of the sweethearts to lend a helping hand, etc. Upon examination, it was discovered that the cotton in the lint or picking room was on fire; but, the walls of the building being of brick, by prompt action on the part of . the laborers, the fire was kept in this room until the arrival of the book and ladder company and the Quitman fire company, when the last spark was soon put out, when all be came quiet. Loss—two bales of cot ton. The factory is supplied with water from two wells, nine feet in di ameter and forty-five feet deep. I visited the rooms of the Library Association last night. It is in keep ing with this beautiful little place^ The Association owns that portion of the building they occupy, have over one thousand volumes in the library, besides the best standard magazines and all first-doss newspapers and has four hundred dollars in the treasury. Mrs. Pierpont, nne of the best of la dies, is librarian. Where, oh where is your Brunswick Library Associa tion? Bat I must close. I leave to-day- for the regions of Tallokas and Dry Lake .from whence I will again com municate yon if yon desire. Excuse me for occupying so much of you^^g space. ,: N. H. G.
