vctterday rumori were current
if lUe street* Hint the negroes ol Wash-
S, county, excited and inflamed by
ZZent, incendiary utterances of one,
JST a WTO preacher, had risen in
^. ind were threatening the town of
Seville. As the day advanced, the
®\, ( , became more numerous and con-
EL. until it was flaaHy circulated that
S'.„d court house had been burned,
id that the town was in the wildest state
r excitement and confusion,
A reporter of tho Tiusuiurir, immedi-
upon learning of theulleged Hot, set
‘ .Jt , 0 gather some facta, but was unable
iLcc the information to nny reliable or
Lmte source. It was indeed strange
that no one who was approached could give
account of tho origin of his Informs-
The whole affair was wrapped in
fflvstery, and nothing really definite was
Eld until a "spociaP 1 was received from
irregular correspondent at that point,
giasrjfuftiwsgs
which great indignation was expressed
that a reporta-a sensation, so to speak-
•ounwarranted and untruo should have
Sen circulated. Our correspondent con
cluded thus: "There was no riot, no suv
nicions demonstrations, no threats, but
■light apprehensions, and the county nnd
town today are “ s peaceful as anyplace
The'rumors referred to above probably
originated from the fact that it was report
ed a few days ago that the notorious
Clarke had been haranguing tlie negroes
ef that section with some effect,.and di
rected in bis speech at County Line Church
U the negroes to meet him at Sandersville
on the 31st of March, and from the addi
tional fact that the mayor of tho town tel
egraphed to Savannah for extra animuni-
goo.
It ij pleasant to state, in view of tlic
..leisure that the Republican press would
uke in bowling over such an event, that
no such riot occurred. The negroes oi
Sandersviilc and Washington county, nt
least the larger and better portion of them,
oppose Clarke and bis principles, and are
upright, industrious citixens. With the
whites of that section, they deplore the
unpleasant notoriety into which they have
been dragged, and pronounce the whole
affair a fabrication from beginning to
end.

erty tho evil la still more apparent. If any
ono will tako tho trouble to investigate
they will be astonished to sec the differ
ence between the segregate amount of
merchandisereturntMieuti die
amount insured In Bibb county. Th* ■*nje [
' is true of liOU»elio‘ ‘ ^nods. Home men I
give in such property at a rum which
trould not purchase the articles in one sin-1
f ;le room. Th« same discrepancy exists
n giving in money, bonds and notes, and
other articles subject to taxation. The
extent to which tuts practice obtains is
alarming, and the dishonesty connected
with tax returns is simply outrageous.
It Is an evil which the grand
jury should take hold of and
probe to the bottom. They arc the
guardians of the people’s interests, nnd
should see that justice is done between
man and man, as well as between tho citi
zen and the county government. The
writer lias long felt the inequality existing
in the burden of taxation, ar.d had earnest
ly hoped that the hill before the last legis
lature would have become a law. and that
the defaulters would lie brought up to the
proper discharge of duty in the premises.
That failed and the only recourse is an ap
peal to the grand jury, which will soon
convene, to right this wrong. It is true,
that a board of tax assessors lias been ap
pointed to regulate the giving in of real
estate, but there is no method by which
they can reach personality.

Savaxeab, Ga., April 2.—A special to
the Morning A’rie,from Key West says:
Reliable reports cay that the schooner
Shorters left last night, with General
Agturo and twenty men, well armed, for
Cuba. The revenue cutter Diz left this

with about a dozen men, ia said to have
cleared oat last night about 11 o'clock, A
twenty ton schooner is missing, which
they stole or bought. The Hpani.li consul
declares he wss near the beach and aaw

Wahiisotox, D. C., April 2.—informa

at Key West was received br Secretary
Folgcr, through the State Department
channels, last Saturday evening, to the

<>cn. Aguero; that he had collected 100 well
armed men and stores of explosives
sad that the expedition might be cximcted
to start from our shores at an early day.
Orders were therefore telegraphed to the
commanders of revenue cutters Governor

Ocorge lloutwell. at Savannah, to tako

Prince Leopold's Presentiment.
Cablegram.
A molt extraordinary presentiment on
tl»® part of Prince Leopold Is now related
on tho highest authority. On hU way to
Cannes the Prince was conveyed aboard
the fine private yacht owned by his favor
ite companion. Extra Equery, Captain
Alexander Glcntworth Taut Clifton Per
ceval. It is not generally known that this
yacht was wrecked with the royal party
aboard in the Gulf of Frejus, and when
but a short distance oil Cannes. The
wreck of the craft was complete, but no
lives were lost, owing to the
nearness at the time of the
persons who rescued the party,
but the young Prince was much prostrated
by alarm and upon his recovery issued the
strictest orders to keep secret the story of
the accident, because he feared the i esult
of the intelligence upon the health of
the Princess. That afternoon, when Leo
pold hod safely reached his private apart
ments in the Villa Nevada, he lay down to
sleep away his nervousness, when he
woke he sent for Captain Perceval and
talked with him about the wreck. The
conversation took place In the royal sleep
ing apartment and Leopold was unusually
melancholy. He sat at a window over
looking the beautiful hay and casting a
sorrowful look toward the place where
the accident occurred, said plaintively:
"Perceval, I know not why It is, but
I have the most gloomy forebodings, I
have such ill luck. 1 would n- t mind it if
it affected me only, but my evil fate seems
determined to make my friends share my
misfortune. I believe I am doomed to
bring sorrow and disaster to all those
whom I desire to be with me as my friends.
Tills feeling oppressed me inexpressibly
to day, and 1 have been unable to rid my
self of the thought that! would rather die
here than anywhere else I have ever
been.” These sentiments w»re uttered
with most painful seriousness, and Per
ceval says that as the Prince ipoko he
looked constantly at the beautiful
water with a wistful expression.
I Leopold died in Perceval's arms, in
the very room, and before the very win
dow where he mentioned his melancholy.
The report that the remains of Prince Leo
pold will be emlnhucd is officially denied.
All the preparations for scientific prepara
tion had been ordered and arranged, bn*
have been countermanded at the request
of the widow. The Princess Helena, w!*^
is in delicate health, and e l’.! «uu h pros
trated bv the suddenness and appalling na
ture of her bereavement, opposes the em
balming. She besought the Oucon to leave
the remains of the beloved dead to the
slow nnd kindly touch of nature rather
than commit them to the harsh ami un
feeling enro of science. The physicians
will, however, subject the body to arsen
ical treatment in order to preserve It for
the funeral next Friday.

Wo want to seo Black, of Augusta^

so we are bettered we will be satisfied.
South Georgia Wants a Chance.
Waycross Reporter.
Governor McDaniel is very acceptn*
ble to the people of Southern Georgia.
But they feel that they should be al
lowed to furnish tho next Governor.
IIow would Hon. U. E. Lester, of Sa
vannah, suit them?
A More Significant Fear.
Rome Cdurler.
The lSedmont Press thinks that 1 ‘Til-
den is still able to defeat the Republi
can party/’ We don’t know about
that, but we fear that he is still able to
defeat the Democratic party.
Disagreement Between Foreigners.
Atlanta Journal.
The Italian editor of our morning
contemporary claims that there is no
such phrase in the French language as
now de plume. Most cultured French
men would differ with him on this
point.
Mum ford, of the New Era, doesn’t
like the talk about tho “mountain” di
vision of the counties over in the fourth
district. He is even inclined to dis
pute the fact of there being any “moun
tain’’ in the district. This Ik all right.
Let the discussion go on. It will not
do for things to stagnate for want of
healthy agitation.

As to the Doe Question.
Middle Georgia Argus.
We think it very important that the
people should demand of the candi
dates who desire to represent this
county in the House of Representatives
and Senate, in the next sitting of the
Legislature an expression on the dog
question. Certainly the next session
of that body will take some action on
this alt important question.
Central Railroad Stock.
Auguita Evening New,.
There has been quite a flurry in Cen'
tral railroad stock for tho post few days,
and it haa been climbing up a cent a
day for some days. To-day it is quoted
at 87, with none offering, and the mar
ket excited. It ia predicted that it will
not be many days heforo par vaine ia
reached and then a bounding boom
from par to anywhere among the twen
ties, or ever thirties. There is no bet
ter paying stock at par than Central

Something Worth Knowing.
Valdosta Times.
Perhaps it is not known to the Macon
and Florida Aii Lino Company that
their recently surveyed line from Val
dosta to Lake City plunges right
through a small strip of territory that
produces 20 |>er cent of the Hea Island
cotton crop of the world. Taldosta
handles 2,000 of the 1 talcs made. This
golden staple—golden because it is
worth from 38 to 42 cents per pound-

General Presentments
OF THE
Grand jury of Crawford Counly-
March Term, 1884.
We. the grand jurors chosen and sworn for
the March term, 1164, of Crawford Nupcrior
Court, beg leave to make the following gen
eral presentments:
We have examined through our committees I
the books of the justices ol the peace and no
taries public of tho county and find them neat
ly and correctly kept We also find that the
clerk Is fully up with bis work and that his
books are kept in a neat and business-like
manner; that the sberlfiTls somewhat behind
with his execution and criminal dockets, but
there Is a marked improvement in his books
Uf the last two yean. ■
Wo would suggest that he make ths entries
bis criminal and execution dovkeUTullcr 1
and plainer, so aa to show what disposition
The books of the commissioners of roads

A Couple ol Inconsiderate*.
Wayrrox Reporter.
It ia difficult to determine which ia
doing Democracy the most harm; Wat-
ternon on the one band in trying to
force hia foolish tariff policy, or tho
Atlanta Constitution on the other in
trying to force the “old ticket” It U
well that they have commenced no
early in trying to force their ideas upon
tin* public. They will both have to
Uke back Kate. Be quiet, gentlemen,
be quiet; the people will rend their
wisest men to Chicago on the 4th of
July to make a aelertion ot Candida tea.
Therefore, it ia beet not to be too pre
vious.
Origin of At! Fool's Day.
Savannah Timet.
Aa thi* ia the first day of April,
many jokes have been played upon the
unwary. Many innocent and other
wise persons have been imposed
upon during tho observance of the day,
whilst undoubtedly there are 'numer
ous |iereona who consider themselves
too smart to be caught napping. Many
of tlie reader* of the Timet arc per
haps not aware of the Biblical origin
of the day. If they will turn to the
Slat verse of the 2oth chapter of 2d
Kings, they will discover all about the
day in the olden time.
What Ceorgta Needa.
GalacsvUle Southron.
What the country needs is skilled
workmen—civil engineers, architects,
cabinet makers, etc.—men wboee
studies have qualified them for a use
ful place in the great universe. Behoofs
of technology are beginning to spring
np in the East and North and the
South should not be behind
them. Let ns have one In
Gainesville. No place fn the 8ootb
haa better advantages. A fine climate,
beautiful mwitary, psrc water, asd In
fact cvertbing that goes to makeup
the sum of human happiness. Let
some enterprising statesman help n*
through, and it will not be long before

louorsblc Ixisnl of county coramls* Ion
worthy of all prahe for the energy and
nt they have dUpiaycd in this |*rt of
heir public dnty and we would congratulate
the citlsegs of the county in having selected
such an efficient board. Upon inquiry we
iflnd the public romls In as good condition m
the circumstances will permit, except that
portion of the Macon and Columbus road
runuine through tho third district. Thcrea-
sou of this defect K that the road coinmls-
irioncni, M. II. MrMurray, J. L. Marshall and
]. F. Kenedy, did not issue any comm I—Ion*
■I rood overseers for the year law, and the I
consequence was the rosd was not worked at
all during that year, nor have any bceu Is*
suc<l for tqls year until withlfi the last few
days. There has been a petition presented by
a large numt>cr of citlscns to do away with
that portion of the public road from Williams's
mill to DavUvllle school himse, and we rec
ommend the proper authority to do so. Wei
recommend that the clerk of the Superior
f’ourt be paid forty dollars for Insol ventcost.
We also recommend that J. F. Hartley be ap
pointed notary public and ex-offi
cio iuitlc# of the peace for the
53*1 district. O. M.. vice W. B. Jordan,
whose term has expired. We recommend to I
our Senator and Representative in the next
Legislature to strive to have re-enacted thc|
law of February 2B, 1W8 in regard to the pay-
I men! of insolvent cost* to county ofilcersms It
Is a great burdeu upon the clerk, sheriff and
Justices of the peace and constables to per-
Ifortu the labor of upholding the
criminal laws of the 8t*tc without hope of fair
compensation.
We are gratified at the moral excellence at
tained by our eounty in the last two or three
years, and we attrltmu the decrease of crime
mainly to thehanlsharentof the retail whisky
trade. We hope the time will anon coma whan
it will be entirely banished from our county.
In taking leave of his honor. Judge T. J.
Simmons, we would thank him for the able
and impartial manner In which he has dis
patched the business of the court, and to So
licitor-General Hardeman for courtesies to
this body shown.
We recommend that there presentments be
published In the Weekly Telegraph and Mcs-
