A SHARP TRICK.
Macon Banks Paying Fifty Dollars Each
to Accommodate Strangers.
On Wednesday night a young man regis
tered at Brown's Hotel from Chicago.
Another young man registered from Kan
sas City. They were stranger* to each
other, apparently, and to the city in fact*
The hotel was crowded and they were
asked to room together. They agreed, but
before going to bed one of them asked Mr.
Brown when the banks opened next morn
ing.
We leave the young men at the hotel
while we see what was done at the banks
yesterday. About half past 11 o’clock
two young men entered the Exchange
Bank and waited their turn. When it
came, one of them asked Mr. Cobb, the
teller, if he could give him two two-and-
a-balf gold pieces. Certainly, and the gold
anything. Some of the negroes who were
looked upon as the best and most peace
able in ihe county, have joined Clark’s
forces, and have quit work and arc now
waiting for the big gathering at Sanders-
ville. A number of farm hands have
struck for two dollars per day. and are in
sulting in their demands. One farmer,
having ten hands, reports that all but two
have left him. The negroes llock
by the hundred to bear Clark,
and he has a big fol
lowing in Baldwin and other coun
ties. lie is described as being of medium
height, mulatto, with black moustache.
He was in Milledgeville two days while a
thorough search for him uein* uimlc.
He has made many friends among the ig
norant. who harbor him.
If he is in Georgia he will certainly be
caught.

handed over a one hundred dollar silver
cirtificate. which the well trained
eye of Mr. Cobb saw at a glance
was genuine. He handed over the gold
pieces and ninety-five dollars in currency
and took the certificate.
“Now, would you be kind enough to give
me a lifty-dollar bill for this change; His
so bulky.”
The spirit of accommodation rules high
among Macon bank men, and Mr. Cobb
agreed. He went to the vault and got out
a lifty-dollar bill and I anded it to the
stranger who put down llftyr dollars of the
change. Just as Mr. Cobb finished count
ing it the stranger quickly placed the fifty*
dollar bill on the fifty dollars in change
and said:
“If it’s all the same to you, sir, would
jrou jdease give me back the hundred-dol-
that have also been traced to the “nephew
of his uncle.” Mr. Tilden is a man that
can be relied on to “ante up” in certain
cases, although he allowed Abe Hewitt to
spend a hundred thousand dollars ir. the
other campaign without so much as
“thankee” in return for it; and Hewitt is
somewhat lukewarm in the present boom,
for that very satisfactory reason. His po
litical father laid him on the altar, and did

whathev “Clpber Alley ' meant "*p-
as tho change is too heavy to
carry?”
Mr. Cobb handed over the bill and took
the lifty-dollar bill and the fifty dollars in
change and placed it in the drawer. The
two young men walked out and while they
were closing tbe front door there was a
rumor of a suspicion in & far comer if Mr.
Cobb’s mind that there might possibly be
some mistake in the transaction, but the
rush of business dispelled the rumor.
About 12 o'clock two young men entered
the First National Bank,and the reader will
here duplicate the scene that transpired
at the Exchange Bank, only substituting
Mr. W. W. Wnglev, the cashier, for Mr.
Cobh, and with this addition: As soon os
stranger No. 1 received his one hundred
dollar bill back, stranger No. 2 stepped up
and asked change for a ten dollar bill,
which was given. This was done to aid in
the confusion of the cashier and to divert
attention from the previous transaction.
After the departure of the young men, the
same rumor that rambled momentarily
through Mr. Cobb’s mind, found lodgment
in Mr. Wrigley’s mind, but he lmrriedlv
ran over his cash and thought he was all
right.
A few minutes after 12 two young men
entered the Central Georgia Bank, and the
reader will substitute Maj. T. O. Chestney,
the cashier, for Messrs. Wrigley and Cobb
in the same scene. When the young
men left, Major Chestney scratched his
head and instead of a rumor the cold,
freezing fact was fixed in his mind that
there was something wrong. Where it waa
or how it was, he didn't then exactly
know. He ran over his caah and was of the
dnion that he was loser in the sum of
ty dollars. He telephoned to the Ex
change Bank and waa told that the young
men went there and got change in the
same manner for the one hundred dollar
bill. The First National Bank responded
ditto. Then Major Chestney was certain
that he had been victimized.
Lieutenant Wylie was notified, and as is
usual in such cases, he did not allow the
gi uas to grow under liis number eights.
He .searched every hole and corner and
finally found out that the two young men
mentioned in the opening of this article,
had returned to the hotel about half-past 12
and asked for dinner. On being told that
dinner was not ready, they asked for a
lunch and paid their bill in two-dollar-and-
We are furnished by Mr. J. II. Andrews,
cf Jones county, with a report of a speech
made on tl.e night of the 19th at County
LineChurch, in Jone9 county, by the ne*
gro Clark, for whom the police are look
ing:
Gentlemen, this is F. H. Clark, from
Louisville, Ky. I have come before you
to-night to form a labor society. You
need a laboring reform society, and yon
have got to have oue. I am one of the
thirteen. There is twelve more that will
follow in pairs of two each. I have been
sent out by your Governor and by the
United States to reform you. What are
you getting per day or month or year for
your labor. Some of you say forty, fifty
and seventy-five cents per day. Gentle
men, do you know the meaning of a labor
ing reform society. I’ll tell you just what
it means. It means that you shall stop
working for nothing for “Mars” John.
Farm hands’ wages shall be raised to $2
for men; boys fifteen veare old $1.50, and
women $1.25 per day, washerwomen
$1 per dozen, garments, big, little,
in the evening, the lieutenant discovered
that they had boarded Henry Calhoun’s
hack and were driven to the old Macon
and Brunswick deport. On going out there
Itpe men offered the hackman $5 to be
taken to Reid’s station on the other side
of the river. This the hackman couldn’t
do, and one of them got out and walked
down the road, while the other was let out
on the Southwestern road. This is the
last seen of them by the hackman.
At the depot last night the cashiers were
scanning the features of everybody in the
depot. There were no young men at the
depot, however, answering to the descrip
tion. It is certain now that the men have
f bnne out of the city. They made a clean
150 by their day’s work.
] The amusing part of the transaction was
the fun made of Maj. Cliestnev by the
other cashiers who thought themselves
secure. They run him pretty heavily un
til they balanced up cash for the day, and
then they went to the Major to console
with him. I
□ As a rule our bank men are* equal to
any emergency end are a match for the
many sharp tricks employed by sharpers |
|but in this instance they acknowledge
I that they were well beaten. Of course the
banks lose none of this money, the cash
iers always making good any shortage that
may occur.
1 The two men are described as fellows
both neatly dressed; one weighing about
150 pounds, five feet six inches high, small
sandy mustache, fair complexion, quick in
speech and action. The same description
answers the other one, with the exception
that he was not so tall.
uva^n. ftuwuviiw, Dig, iilUC,
eat or small, tbe price shall remain the
thesame. What are you working for?
Simply nothing. You have got thia to
stop, anil if I can’t stop you one way, I will
another. We have got plenty of
troops and artillery to back ns up for
our rights, and we will have them—
yes we are going to have our rights if we
have to wade in blood waist deep. I know
you fellows know how to use a gun. If
you don't it won't take you long to learn.
There is a large amount of money in our
hands for distribution. Gen. Grant sent
us (HO,000) forty thousand dollars. We
raised a($2S,000) twenty-five thousand in
Aufcista, twenty-five thousand in Atlanta
and twenty thousand ih Savannah, Macon
fifteen thousand. And we have got the
United States to bock us in this move.
Georgia is the meanest and lowest down
State in the Union to the colored race.
Yon are just as good os the white man,
and if anything better, i know you have
more honesty. I am as good as any white
man that ever made a track on top oi this
earth, and so are you. We have got to be
more united before we can get our rights.
Tbe money is in this country and we must
have it for our labor. Then you can have
fine horsea and buggies to ride in and fine
houses to live in—in other words be boss
some yourselves. I want you all to meet
Rev. W. J. White, from Augusta, and Col.
Peck, a colored lawyer from Louisville,
Ky., at this church Saturday night. You
can then join this society.
"I know there is notja colored Democrat
in this house to-night, hut let me tell you
something. If I know of any colored man
in this State to cast a Democratic ticket
we will put him in the chain-gang for nine
ty-nine years.”
Question by Mr. Andrews—“By what an
thority,” etc.
Answer—“Onr authority is vested in our
"Yon know what that means, and don’t
rou forget it. All that is in favor of elcct-
ng Mr. Taylor your leader in Scottshoro
district and illll'a district will nlease rise
on your feet. (All stood up.) Mr. Taylor,
colored, you are elected leader of our so
ciety iu these two districts. You must
have them organized as soon as possible.
Wc must have our rights, and all of you
that refuse to join us, we will drive you
into it by force of arms, itepiembcr, we
have plenty of troops and artillery and wc
know how to use it. In Kentucky we
have got lawyers, doctors and judges of
our own color and wc nre equal to tbe
whites in every respect.”

The Thompson Street Poker Club.
From Life.
Sir. Tooter Williams had a bad eye
and several kings when the Rev. Mr.
Thankful Smith opened the first jack
pot at the regular meeting of the
Thompson Street Poker Club, Saturday-
evening. Mr. Gus Thompson saw that
a powerful brew of mischief was at
hand, and prudently lnid down two
pair, while Mr. Cyanide Whiffles, who
had a pair of eights and very little
horse sense, came in.
“I rise dat two dollahs," said Mr.
Williams quietly, hut with truculence
of intent.
“Yo’ 's gittin’ too brash,” rejoined
the Rev. Mr. Smith testily. ‘‘Efyo’ ’s
de Vandyhilk of dis pality, jess—jess
stack ’em up. I rise yo’ six dollahs.”
Mr. Williams considered for a mo
ment, during which time he thought
fully examined the cards which with
great foresight he had previously
pinned to the leg of the table.
“I calls,” lie said at length. “Gimme
two cyards.”
Mr. Whiffles fled.
The Rev. Mr. Smith dealt Mr. Wil
liams two cards, and conscientiously
helped himself to the last
ten spot remaining in the pack. He
then hanged the honored wallet on the
table and said:
“ ’Leven dollahs.”
“Icalls yo’,” said Mr. Williams, se
cretly unpinning the hidden hand, and
counting out the money.
The Rev. Mr. Smith put the pot into
his pocket.
“Wha—whadjer doin’ ?” gasped Mr.
Williams, aghast at this unparliamcu-

showing down that remarkable hand.
“How many freckle* yo’ got on yo’
hand’ ?" he inquired,
“I’se—l’se jess—jess clum over yo’
tens,” said Mr. Williams with an ef
fort to be calm and look honest.
“Shome up,” said the reverend gen
tleman. Mr. Williams unfolded four
jacks. They were all there.
“Wharjerget um?” was the next
point in Mr. Smith’s catechism.
“Outen de pack, er course,” said Mr.
Williams, breathing hard.
The Rev. Mr. Smith’s reply was to
roach over and weave his fingers firmly
through the roots of Mr. Williams’s
hair. Then he thrashed around tho
room with him for a few excited min
utes and then sat down upoli him
Mr. Williams still breathed heavily.
•Wharjer get dem jacks?”
‘Outen de pack," again responded
Mr. Williams, making a feeble effort
to get up.
Tho Rev. Mr. Smith butted his head
nineteen times against the floor with
great rapidity, and again inquired
softly:
‘Wharjer gettum?”
‘Outen de pack. Loggo my kinks,”
urged Mr. Williams, still breathini
heavily. Again his head was buttei
violently against the floor until the
landlord on tho floor nbove was im
pressed with the idea that the club was
refreshing itself with a solo on the bass
dram.

quired tho Rev.Mr. Smith emphasizing
each word with a double butt.
“Outen—de—” here Mr. Williams

“Oaten de what?” asked the Rev
Mr. Smith with a temporary cessation
oi hostilities.
“Re bug,” said Mr. Williams, dog
gedly. ‘‘Lemme up,”

THE PRODIGALS.
A too common incident in life has never
been more touchingly illustrated than in
the following perfret little jioem from the
pen of Ernest McGatTey, in the Chicago
Current.—Ed.
When the roues of eummer were budding and
blooming
And the yellow wheat bent 'neath iu burden
of gold,
he Prodigal son came, world-weary and tat-
To the home where his fooUteps had echoed
of old.
And they clung to his garments with tears and
caresses.
Till the cup of bis welcome ran over with
Joy,
And the flowers of love and forgiveness were
woven
In a blossoming crown for tbe Prodigal Boy.
When the Icicles hang from the eaves and the
branches,
And the winter winds moaned round the
dwellings of men.
Forsaken and homeless, tbe Prodigal Daugh-
But they tamed her away in the storm and the
And the pitiless curses that followed her foot
steps
Were fierce as the tempest and cruel as
aa death!

During the recent flood it was about

From comer to corner there were rep

personages of sacred history. These
were clearly and beautifully outlined,
some of them resembling steel engrav

two by three feet, and was certainly
marvelous in its bold and perfect fea

half. There were animals of every
description and a portrayal of Noah's
ark. It would be difficult to mention

from distant homes to tes these pic
