From official returns we learn that
Dougherty gave Republican majorities

squeezed through with only 207. This
wss much better than we oould hopo

din Haase and Seventy Boles of
, Cotton Burned.
Mr. L. A. Jordan, farming on the
Fowltown place six miles from tho
city, had his gin house and seventy
bales of cotton burned Thursday. We
have been unable to learn the origin of
the fire. Mr. Jordan had the house
and cotton insured for $1,000 in » Vir
ginia Fire Insurance Company, repre
sented in this city by Messrs. Carter A
Woolfolk.
This makes gin house burning num

County Commissioners.
Dougherty’s Board of County Com
missioners held its regular bi-monthly
meeting Monday.. It was in session
ail day examining and auditing bills
against the county, including a goodly
amount resulting from tho last term of
the Superior Court. The Board ad
journed to meet again on the first of
next month, when the Newton road
will be brought up and finally dispos
ed of. The citation touching this
change is published in another column.
A Queer Accident.
As Mr. D. C. Gleaton, of Worth,
was going out home Saturday after
noon, in passing the Barton place he
suddenly discovered that his wife’s
clothing was on fire. He at once halt
ed, threw, his child out of the buggy,
and tore the burning garments from
Mis. Gleaton. In doing this his hand
was badly burned. M rs. G. was very
-lightly burned. He supposes that
the fire occurred from a spark falling
from a gin engine on the side of the
road. Mr. Gleaton came back to the
city and had his burn dressed. This
was a queer accident, and it is fortunate
for the family that it turned out no
worse.

Profanity on ibe Street*.
A gentleman makes complaint against
a crowd of colored men and boys who
make a practice of collecting on the
sidewalk on Jackson street, opposite
Farkas’ stables at night, and indulging
in profane and vulgar language, to the
great disgust of passers-by. The gen
tleman in question had occasion to pass
that way Sunday night in company
with a lady friend, and found the side
walk at that point almost impassable.
The loud-mouthed profaners paid no
attention to the lady's presence, but
continued their boisterou < and vulgar
conversation, which made it extremely
unpleasant for both lady and gentle
man.
We would suggest that our vigilant
police take a peep around that particu
lar corner some Sunday night, swoop
down on, and abolish this standing
nuisance.

Bear Story.
Mr. John Walters, one of Dougher
ty's enterprising young planters, resid
ing six miles below the city, was out
bird hunting the other day, and acci
dentally ran afoul of a first-class, well-
matured bear story, and immediately
started about working the thing up for
the News ash Advertiser.
The material to be worked upon
was an old hear and her cub, which
he found in the woods. Upon the ap
proach of Mr. Walters, the old mother
ran off and left the litlle bruin to take
care of himself. It climbed a tree
close by, and Mr. W., to keep it up
there, stationed himself under the tree.
But bruin Jr. didn't propose to occupy
these quarters, so he proceeded to de
scend. When low enough down Mr.
Walters placed the muzzle of his gun
to the animal s side and gave it a heavy
charge of bird shot, which^aeemcd to
produce no other effect than to hurry
up the younstera little.
Mr. Walters didn't have any large
shot* and was obliged to stand by and
aee bis game escape; lienee our bear
story is incomplete.
An Affray at Hillsdale.
From parties who came in on tho B,
A A. train Saturday night we learned that
ajdilficulty occurred at Hillsdale, on
Friday evening, between a young white
man named Frank Holton and a negro,
whose name we did not learn. Young
Holton and the negro were hauling
lumber for Dr. Pickett, and whilst
loading the wagon, engaged in a quarrel,
which finally led to blows. The ne
gro struck Uoltcn with a scantling,
and Holton, arming himself with a like
cudgel, retaliated. Finally Holton
drew a pistol and opened fire on the
negro, when the latter retreated. Both
men were pretty badly beaten with
the scantlings, but Holton missed his
mark when he went to shooting.
Run Over by a Wagon.
The horses attached to a freight
wagon belonging to W. D. Williams’
Sons, of Newton, and loaded with
goods for that firm, took fright two
milei out of the city Tuesday even
ing and ran away. A colored man was
thrown from the vehicle and ran over,
and a barrel of apples also fell on him,
bruising him up considerably. Ilia
left thigh was broken. He wasbiought
back to town where his bruises under
went medical treatment of Drs. Stro
ther and Cromwell.
Wednesday afternoon, having so far
recovered as to be able to ride, he was
placed in a wagon and sent to Newton.
Runaways and broken hones arc be
coming frequent occurrences in and
around this city.
The battle has been fought, lost and
won. Our city conducted henelf he
roically throughout the engagement.
Not a single bloody nose made its ap
pearance upon tho scene of action—
the Court House yard. The work was
done qniotly, but llrmly. Owing to a
severe drought of clerks, for tallying,
the managers were not able to open the
polls until after ten o’clock. And for
three hours after they were opened the
colored suffrage stingers formed a solid
and impenetrable body twenty feet
deep around the window where tho
ballot box was. The whites wore
compelled to retire until this patriotic
crowd got through saving tho country.
We wish tho Chicago Inter-Ocean
man could have been hero to aeejhow
bravely tho colored troops, who arc
not allowed to voto in the South, took
possession of the field, held it until
thoy got through voting, notwithstand
ing tl.o presence of us bull-dozing
rebels. When tho Doinocrsts got a
chance to vote they deposited their
ballots and quietly retired.
l’eaco and good feeling roigned su
preme throughout tho whole day. We
never saw so little excitcmont during a
Piesidcntial election. If there ’was a
single disturbance wo don’t know of it.
Lot the result of Tuesday bo
what it may, the true Democratic pa
triots of Albany have the proud
consciousness of having done their
whole duty.
A RAVENOUS HOC.
Ha Attempt to Bal a Little Child.
A horrifying circumstance occurred
over the river Tuesday. A little baby
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cooper, residing
in East Albany, was sitting alone on the
bottom door step, when it was attack
ed by a large and ravenous hog. Tho
rapacious beast seized the child by one
of its hands, and dragged it over the
yard, attempting the while to devour it.
The little innocent’s hand was fear
fully mangled and chewed up before
its great peril was discovered, and the
babe rescued by its mother. The
child will be a cripple for life. And
we hope that the villianous beast will
be killed before it devours soinobody’s
darling.
Excursion Trains to the Thomas*
vllle Fair.
A note from Mr. K. T. McLean, the
clever and efficient Secretary of the
Thomasviile Fair Association, informs
us that arrangements have been made
with tho Savannah, Florida and Wes
tern Railway to run special or exeur
sion trains from Albany to the Thomvs-
villo Fair on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday next. This ought to in
sure a good attendance from this city
and all intermediate points. We have
every reason to believe that next
week’s Fair will be a success in every
particular, and those of our people who
attend will find will doubtless be well
pleased witli the sights and amuse
ments of the occasion. Our Thomas-
villc friends have been liberal patrons
of the Fairs held in Albany, and as we
have no fair of our own this season,
and special trains sre to be run for our
aocoiumodation, wc hope to see Albany
and Dougherty county well represent
ed on the grounds of our sister associa
tion next week.
GERMAN OABF.
Th* Success of Their Propagation
' In oar Water* Assured.
It will be remembered that our wor
thy Congressman, Hon. W. E. Smith,
procured from the Department at
Washington, and distributed in this
District some time last year, a number
of German Carp. A good many of
these fish, then quite small, were plac
ed in ponds in this county, and now we
have, wc think, sufficient evidence to
establish the fact that the succeas of
thoir propagation in our waters is as
sured. Dr. T. J. I. I’atillo got five of
tlie litlle fish from Capt. Smith, and
placed two of them in one pond on his
plantation, and throe of them in anoth
er. Tho small pond which had only
two fish in it, went dry, or so nearly so
that only a small puddle of water was
left. Fearing that the fish would die or
bo captured, Dr. Patillo concluded to
transfer thorn to another pond, so ho car
ried them homo late Thursday evening
and placed them in a barrel of water, ex
pecting to carry them to his other
pond next morning. Very much to his
surprise and regret, however, ho found
both fish dead the next morn's^
When he came to tho city Friday
he] brought ono of them to Capt.
Smith, and half of the other to tho
Rev. Mr. Felder. From tho latter wo
learned that the half of tho one brought
to him furnished a sumptuous feast for
nine persons at dinner Friday, and
that there was an abundance left for
the servants besides. All agreed that
it was tjie finest fish they had ever eat
en, the favoirte creek trout of this sec
tion not excepted. The growth of
these fish since Dr. Patillo placed them
in his pond a little more than a year
ago has been wonderful, and we are
informed that quantities of eggs were
found in thorn, showing that they were
healthy and preparing to increase.

Tho Augusta Keening Hews calls
attention to the value of pine straw,
and says it lias only been a year or two
since pine straw first became an arti
cle of export in the Wilmington mar
ket, and now we learn it is impossible
to supply the demand for it. It is
shipped North, where it undergoes
certain preparations, and is then used
for stuffing mattresses, in the place of
oakum, and for other purposes, be
sides yielding a kind of oil in the first
process to which it is subjected. There
is a depot for it near the foot of Or
ange street in that city, where it is
haled for shipment.
This new industry can he most pro
fitably developed in Georgia; for if
there ever was a surplus of any one
article, anywhere, which seemed to ho
valueless, it is pine straw in Georgia.

The Epizootic In Albany.
A great many horses in our city are
suffering with this troublesome and
sometimes fatal disease. For the bene
fit of the owners of horses, the follow
ing description of the symptoms is
given. The quotation is from a work
generally accepted as standard au
thority upon the horse and hia dis
eases :
"The first symptom is that the horse
is dampish, which signifies debility. To
a casual observer the horse looks as if
he had been sick for months. If urg
cd to move on he docs so after the
fashion of an overgrown elephant.—
The eye is indicative also of the dis
ease: its vessels are turgid, have an ar
terial red appearance (this has, per
haps, led to the term; ’pink eye’), the
lids become swollen, and the animal
shrinks from the light as if its rays
caused pain; the tears trickle over, and
now and then a particle of purtulcnt,
lyniphy matter can be seen in the an
gles of the eye. The animal seems un
able to support the weight of his head
it either remains in a drooping position
or he rests it in the crib. First one
hind limb and then the other swell, be
come infilrated with fluid which con
stitutes anasarca, or they may both
commence to swell at once; in fact,
other parts of the body become dropsi
cal, so that the patient sometimes more
resembles an elphant than a horse.—
The swelling of the legs, let it be more
or less, is considered in connectiolt
with the other features, the diagnostic
system. It is very different from that
tumefaction which is found in the limbs
of many horses, and occasionally by
want of exercise. It comes on sudden
ly, affects the whole limb, groin and
sheath. The hair from the first lias an
unhealthy aspect, and a rough feel
ing of the cars and ncse, and the limbs
are cold or not, according to the stage
of the disease. The appetite is poor
from the first, and any attempt to swal
low indicates that the throat is exceed-
irgly sore, foul, thickly coated, and sa
liva runs freely, although not always,
for in many e tses the mouth is dry.—
In tho course of a few days a nasal dis
charge sets in, and this is considered a
favorable crisis. In sums instances,
however, the disease terminates in a
troublesome cough.”
Carp.
Albany Ga., October 29, lb80.
Messrs. Kdilort:
To-d*y, for the first timo in my life,
I had for dinner a German Carp, one
too that was raised in this county!
Fish stories always smack of the fabu
lous, and mine may too, but notwith
standing the opinions of the incredulous,
allthe facts 1 state are true.
Last February, a year ago, Hon,
Spencer F. Baird, U. S. Fish Commis
sioner at Washington, sent me about
sixty little German Carp. They were
about three and a half inches in length.
They were received in good condition
and were immediately transferred to
some lakes and ponds of this county
and Baker. Hons. H. A. Tarver and
Capt. Ilobbs received some; Mrs. Wil
liams, of Baker, received some, and Dr.
Patillo and B. B. Outz received some.
The little pond into which Dr. Patillo
placed a portion of his, on account of
the absence of/rains became nearly
dry. From this pond Dr Patillo
took two carp—each one of which
weighed between eight and ten
pounds and were abont twenty incheB
in length. One he gave to me, and a
portion of another ho gave to Bev. Mr.
Felder. My fish wa3 baked; I found it
beautiful white with scarcely any
bonea, and of a delicious flavor.
This experiment of propagating this
valuable food fish in this country, and
in our ponds and lakes, I consider as
demonstrating, beyond all doubt, the
feasibility and practicability of each en
terprises.
Should the carp in other ponds
thrive as those of Dr. Patillo’s,
I will bo able to furnish my neighbors
with any number of young ones next
spring. My friend, J. M. Cutliff, Esq.
intends making an examination of the
lakes and ponds planted with carp.
The Hon. Fish Commissioner of Wash
ington, and also our State Commissioner
will furnish you with young carp on
application. Respectfully,
W. E. Smith.

story, older than the rocks and rivers,
a story of love and trust and reliance.
It is a story that has come down from
the garden in the East through all tho
ages of creation—yet it is younger and
fresher than a May morning. And the
story gives an occasion for the gather
ing of flowers and the twining of them
into garlands and wreaths. It gives an
occasion for the heartiest congratula
tions of friends, and tho mingling of
happy voices and the bubbling over of
joyous hearts.
At the Baptist church in this city,
Thursday evening last, Mr. A. P.
Vason, one of Albany V cleverest and
most enterprising young men, led to
the altar Misa Emma Hilbman, one of
Albany's fairest and most charming
young ladies. The church was deco
rated in a beautiful and artistic man
ner, and throngs of friends assembled
see the happy pair plight their troth
each other. At half put eight the
organ, uader tho skillful touch of Mrs.
N. Woolfolk, pealed forth the har
monies of a grand wodding march
from Midsummer Night's Dream, Men
delssohn's “Bartholdy,” announcing the
coming of the bridal party. Preced
ing Mr. Vason and hia betrothed were
the attendants in the following order:
C. Rust, Miss Mamie Tarver.
Jno. Henderson, Miu Nells Cutliff.
J. Cutliff, Miss Callie Vuon.
D. Weston, Miss Eva Hilaman.
As tlie bride and groom walked with
majestic tread down the aisle a mur
mur as of so many whispered blessings
ran electric like through the immnnse
throng. Positions having been taken
a semi-circle, the pastor, Rev. R. T.
Hanks, arose and in % most beautiful
and solemn manner performed the cox
emony, invoking Heaven’s benedic
tions upon the pair.
The marriage rites over the bridal
party, accompanied by many friends,
repaired to tho residence of Judge D.
A. Vason, father of the groom, where
reception wu given them. Here, at
your correspondent noticed the rush of
congratulatory friends, he could but
admire the calm and dignified manner
of the newly wedded couple. In
watching the scene life ceased to be
prosaic, all wu bright and hopeful, hu
manity wore its fairest smile, and one
could grasp the embodied treasures of

were beMtiful and numerous, and
were admired on ail sides. A delight
ful reput was served, and most thor
oughly enjoyed by all.
Pope Vuon is a young man of noble
qualities, and is much esteemed by a
large circle of friends and acquaintances.
Upright and honorable, and with it all

GRAND JURY
. <
Worth Comity, Georgia.
Judge K. J. Warren, of Leesburg,
furnishes the following facts in the
Rome Courier about Andersonvilie
prison, which will prove of local inter
est to our readers:
Leesburg, Oct. 20.1880.
Editor Courier—There is a tittle
circumstance connected with the origin
of the Andersonvilie prison which, so
far as I know, hu escaped the attention
of the numerous book-makers, Con
gressional debaters and newspaper cor
respondents, and which deserves to be
commemorated now, only because it f~
connected with a subject upon which
teeming luxury of statement hu been
made. During the fall session of the
Legislature in 1863, on one occuion
Gov. Brown sent to the Representative
Hall and summoned the members irom
Sumter, Dongherty and Lee—Dr.
Reese, Pike Hill and myself—to the
Executive Department We were
there introduced by the Governor to
Capt Winder, who informed us that he
desired our aid and the aid of the Gov
ernor in selecting some suitable place
on or near the S. W. R. R. for the lo
cation of a prison. The map wu care
fully examined and the matter
debated at some length. The Blue
Spring near Albany, wu mentioned,
but the river swamp and the malaria
presented an inseparable barrier.
Smithville, in Lee county, came next
under consideration. An earnest re
gard for the health of the prisoners,
which could not well be preserved
where chills were then so prevalent in
summer, added to the scarcity of water
and ether needed oonvcniences were
inducements which led us to decide
against Smtihville also. The Magnolia
(mineral) .springs, in Sumter county,
would have been unanimously selected,
but it wu twelve miles from the near
est point of the railroad, the road was
heavy and hilly, transportation of sup
plies difficult, and above all, it would
have been cruelty to have hauled sick
or wounded soldiers, even in good am
bulances, (which were not likely al
ways to be in demand,) for inch a dis
tance over a road, and, u we had no
idea at tho time the cartel would be
suspended and therefore expected a
constant exchange of prisoners the in
convenience of that position need not
be discussed. Our soldiers in North
ern prisons, when exchanged or pe
troled, were never wilting that ordinary
sickness or slight debility should detain
them, and believing the Federate
would feel the same way we concluded
that they ought at all events to be can
toned convenient to the railroad. Had
Abraham Lincoln been present he
could not have been otherwise than
satisfied at the prominence given
to tlie subject of the health, comfort
and convenience of the prisoners, and
Andersonvilie, the place wc all unani
mously agreed upon finally, is the
place he would have selected. A
more pleasant location for an ordinary
collection of troops and prisoners
could not have been found, and no
person at that time dreamed that the
exchange of prisoner! wu to cease per
manently. It is proper to observe that
Capt. Winder remarked to us that we
had bcon called upon to suggest not to
dictate a place for the prison. He
scumccd to regard the comfort of tha
brave captives who might be entrusted
to his care a matter of primary impor
tance, and one that demanded much
care, caution and consideration. How
many otliors he may have consulted I
do not know. This wu young Win
der. Tlie prisoners North and South
had thoir horriblo endurances and their
tonder ministrations. Gentle hauds
dealt kindly and tears of commiseration
wore shed ovor the blue and gray.
Some owed their captivity to Long-
street and Moahy, sorao to Hancock
and McOlollan. "Let “hye-gonoa bo

The Grand Jurors tor the County of
Worth, at the October Term, 1880, beg
leave to make the following General
Presentments:
We have made an examination of the
books of all the public officers u re
quired by law, and find them neatly
and correctly kept.
The roads of the county we find gen
erally in good condition, but we feel it
our duty to say that the commissioners
of the Isabella and Troupvtile road have
not done their duty. This road should
be worked without delay, and sre
would suggest that If the tame be not
done and the road kent In bettor order
that the next Grand Jury bring the
matter before the Court, that the Com
missioners may be dealt with at the
law directs.
We reccommend that the Warwick
road be changed sou to run from Dug
Ford’s, colored, to the Isabella and
Vine’s mills road, at or near the r—
place.
We recommend, alio, that the bridge
at Vine’s mill be looked after at once,
by the proper authorities, and such re
pairs nude u to make the tame safe for
the traveling public. Also, we recom
mend, that the bridge on the Ocklock-
nee river on the old Troupvtile-toad
Horn Albany he likewise looked after
and put In good repairs.
We recommend that all Jurors,
Grand and Petit, be paid the turn of
one dollar and a half per day.
Wc recommend the bailiffs of the
Court be paid two dollars per day, and
when night service hu been required
of them u guards that they be paid one
dollar additional.
We recommend that the Cleric of this
Court, Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, be
paid two dollars and fifty cents per
day each during the time of holding
Court.
We recommend that McDowell, the
party who conveyed the news of the
burning of the Court House to the
Judge of this Court at Albany, and
procuring a workman to* visit Isa
bella for the purpose of opening
the safe In which the county records
were kept, be paid the sum of five dol
lars.
We recommend that a law be passed
by the Legislature creating a Board of
Commissioners of Roads and Revenues
for the county of Worth, and that the
Ordinary give the legal notice required
by law of the caption of a MU to cany
out this recommendation to be submit
ted to the Legislature.
We regret to speak on a subject so
painful u the burning of the house used
by the county as a Courthouse. We
are reminded in doing so that this is the
second Courthouse that has been burn
ed In our county In the past four years,
which to say the least, is evidence that
there are living in our midst some very
bad men. We will not attempt to dis
cover the cause of such conduct on the
part of these incendiaries, whether to
delay justice In the administration of
the penal laws, or because of any desire
to remove the county site would not
mitigate the offence. We have exhaust
ed every effort to disoover the guilty
party or parties, but all in vain, but we,
as citizens of the county, interested in
her welfare and good name, call upon
every citizen of the county to lend all
the aid in their power to discover these
vile perpetrators of one of the moat
heinous offences known to the law.
As a Grand Jury we have done all In
our power to bring before the Courts fla
grant violations of the penal code, and
trust that there may be suited out to
them in due time, In a new Courthouse,
the punishment that the offenses de
serve.
We are fuUy in accord with the views
of His Honor, Judge Wright, expressed
to us in his charge, in reference to the
importance of providing at once a neat
and convenient Courthouse and Jail for
our county. Were it in the power of
this Jury we would maulfest by our
action, which would speak more loudly
than our words, our feelings on this
subject. However, we have done on
this subject all that we have thought it
our power to do. The great difficulty
in the matter of building a Courthouse
and Jail has been the unsettled condi
tion of the public mind, in the selection
of a county site. We believe that it is
the almost universal desire of our peo
ple that the county site be removed to
seme point on the Brunswick A Albany
Railroad, but to what point has caused
all the trouble and excitement. The
interests of private parties ha* caused
divisions, and wUI, as long as there is
not found some high and equitable
point on which to found a decision.-
When this is done we believe that our
patriotle citizens will give up all per
sonal interest and unite on some course
that will subserve the general good of
the ccunty. We, at a Grand Jury,
suggest the place embraced in the fol
lowing resolutions, which were adopt
ed almost unanimously by our body:
e would I
fore express to him our sincere
for the able and Impartial
which he has presided over the court-
during the whole time of his incum
bency. The laws have been enforced
firmly and Impartially to all litigants,
and he carries with him the best wishes
of our whole people for his happiness
in the future.
We, the Grand Jury, tender our
thanks to Col. Fleming for his courtesy N
to us during his term of Solicltor-Gota
eralship. We reoosnmend him to the
General Assembly for the Judgeship
for the next term of this circuit.
We recommend that these General
Presentments be published In the Al
bany News amd Anrzzruzz.
