As Willie caught at the gun h is right

Killed br a Train.
From Capt. Taylor, conductor on the
B. ft A. R. R, we learned Tuesday night
that a negro man was run over and kill-
ed by a lumber train at Ty Ty that day.
The unfortunate man was under the
influence of liquor, and was lying on
the warehouse platform. As the train
approached he aroused from his stupor
and jumped down on the tra:k im
mediately ahead of the locomotive.
The engineer did not have time to
stop bis train, and the negro was
caught under the wheels and instantly
killed. No blame c»n {be attached to
the engineer. We were unable to
team the qame of the unfortunate
negro.
Our Representatives.
5Iessrs. Westbrook and Hcstei our
Representatives in the Senate and House
have been appointed on important com-
m s *tees. Captain Westbrook is Chair
man o' t * ie Auditing Committee and
a member o' tho Committees on Educa
tion and Public to’ iWin & » nd C *P Uin
Hester has been placed tlie FlnsnC(! ’
Railroads, Banks, and Enrollrat."*' Com
mittees.
These arc among the most important
committees of the Legislature andjtrans-
act business in which our people are
directly interested. The interests of
the people will not suffer if the other
members of these committees are of
the same stamp as our Messrs. West
brook and Hester. They arc men of
integrity and fine business capacity.
A Comparison.
In order to let those outside of Al
bany know how rapidly our city is
growing as a cotton market, we will
compare the receipts of last season up
to November 8th, with the receipts of
this season* to date. November 8tb
1879 onr warehousemen had received
for that season 11,520 bales. Up to
date this year they have weighed 16,-
776—an increase of five thousand two
hundred and fifty-seven bales.
There is not another cotton market
in Georgia whose business has in
creased at the same rate. Our mer
chants buy cotton from, and sell goods
to the planters of the adjoining coun
ties of Mitchell, Lee, Calhoun, Worth,
Baker and Miller. With such tributaries
as these Albany cannot help but become
a prosperous city.
Albanr Thespian Corps.
Last week a number of the
young ladies and gentlemen of the city
assembled at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. C. M. Clark, on West .Broud
street, for the purpose of organizing a
Thespian c >rps. Toe organization was
effected »y electing Mr. George Col
lier, President; W. B. Gottlieb, Secre
tary, and J. D. Ponder, Treasurer.
A committee composed of Miss Stel
la YY ight. Miss Willie Oliver and 5Ir.
W. B. Gottlieb reported several new
and popular plays, to bo immediately
prepared for and put upon the stage.
The meeting adjourned to Monday
week, when the hooks will have ar
rived, and the caste will be made.
We bespeak for the Society a suc
cessful career, for we believe its ef
forts toward cultivating ths talent dra
matis of our city will meet with the
hearty co-operation of our citizens.
After the meeting had adjourned, an
impromptu dance was inaugurated, and
participated in by nearly every one
present, and thus on pleasure s wings
the hours passed swiftly by.

Strange, in this enlightened age,
what a fascination there is about the
simple word Gypsy; and yet itisnntso
strange cither when we remember
what a magnetic influence anything
savoring of mystery wields over the
public’s mind. And Gypsies are cer
tainly a mysterious race. They glide
in and out and, like the shades'of even
ing, we know not from whence they
com# or whither they go. They are
dark-eyed handsome men and women,
as a general rule, and their hate is as
lasting and unrelenting as their love is
deep and passionate. Both are like
mighty rivers that sweep everything
befo."“ .them.
A party Cf ^ eso mysterious wander
ers passed through '* lc c *ty the other
day,and are now quartered in !l'« west-
suburbs. Those believing in the
Gypsy’s power to lift the veil of futurity;
that to them “coming events cast their
shadows before,” can go out to the
camp and have their future made
known.

The Blmzeal Show That Ever Vial-
teA Albany.
Thursday wus a big day in Albany.
As por announcement Coup’s great
united shew arrived and gave two exhi
bitions, and wo tako pleasure in writing
it down aa the best show that ever
visited our city. The advertised pro
gramme was carried out to the letter.
Mr. Coup exhibits everything that ho
advertises, from the street parade down
to the jubilee singers in the closing
concert.
Thu street pageant far exceeded in
brilliancy that made by old John Rob
inson. A lino brass band led the pro
cession, and another of equal merit
brought up the rear. An immense
concourse of people assembled on the
side walks, in the windows over stores,
and on the hotel balconies to witness
the grand street parade.
l’hcjout’yf Washington street pro
Rented tho appearance or a vast city of
tents. At least an hour before the
doors to the menagarie were opened
the entrance way was packed and jam
mod with people waiting to make i
rush whenever the curtains should be
pulled aside. And in half an hour
niter the doors were opened, the huge
canvass was crowded.
1 he inanagerie was composed of
many rare and curious specimens o!
the .brute creation. While the circus
performance was the best our people
ever witnessed. Miss Stokes is certain
ly queen of tho arena. Some of her
bareback feats were wonderful. The
Indian rider is also good. The broncho
horses are beautiful animals, and are
trained to perform marvelous feats.
But the educated dogs and goats take
tho palm for intelligence. The Indians,
Japanese, Jubilee singers were all
there.
As a whole, Coup’s circus excells
anything of the kind that has ever be
fore .visited Georgia. Mr. Coup and
all of hia actors are courteous, clever
gentlemen. From here the show went
to Thomasville, where it exhibited
yesterday.

Harder In Irwin Conntjr.
On November 2d, at Dominey’s
Mills, in Irwin county, Mr. Radford
Odom was stabbed and instantly killed
by Mr. John Gill. It seems that
dispute arose between the parties, hut
it was settled. Later in tho day they
met again and engaged in a conversa
tion, when Mr. Gill called Mr. Odom a
d—n liar. Odom then struck Gill with
hi* fist, whereupon 1 drew his knife
and stabbed Odom just below the left
nipple, from the effects of which he
died in a few minutes. Both parties
were cool sober, and each has a wife
and one child. The murderer fled,

The largest and best seed potat es
that we have seen this season were
brought in and presented to the editors
of the News and Advertiser by 5Ir.
W. H. Braswell, on Saturday last.
They were of the favorite yellow yam
variety, and were grown on Mr. L. E.
Welch’s Ointovn place, on the line of
Worth and Dougherty, of which Mr.
Braswell is the superintendent. The
patch from which these potatoes were
taken lacks considerably of covering
an acre of ground, end Mr. Braswell
says that he will gather at least three
hundred bushels from it. Either one
of the potatoes brought to us, would
make a good meal for an ordinary fam
ily, and tho largest one weighed seven
pounds and a half. May you live long
and continue to raise such fine potatoes

KlEht Life of Young men.
One night often destroys a whole
life. The leakage of the night keeps
the day forever empty. Night is sin’s
harvesting time. More sin and crime
is committed in one night than in all
the days of the week. This is more
emphatically true of the city than of
the country. The street lamps, like a
file of soldiers, with torch in hand
stretch away in long lines on either side
walk ; the gay colored transparencies
arc ablaze with attractions, the saloon
and billiard halls arc brilliantly illu
minated; music Bends forth its en
chantments ; the gay company begin to
gather to the haunts and houses of
pleasure; the gambling duns arc aflame
with palatial splendor; the theatres are
wide oped; the mills of destruction are
grinding health, honor, happiness and
hope out of thousands of lives. The
city under gaslight is not the same as
under Gad’s sunlight. The allurements
and perils and pitfalls are a hundred
fold deeper and darker and more de
structive. Night life in our cities is a
dark problem, whose depth and abysses
and whirlpools mako us start hack
with horror. All night long tears are
falling, blood is streaming.
Young men, tell me how and where
you spend your evenings, and I will
write you the chart of your character
and final destiny, with blanks to insert
your nnmes. It seems to me an ap
propriate text would be, “Watchman,
what of the night?” Policeman pacing
the boat, what of the night? What are
the young men of the city doing at
night? Where do they apend their eve
nings? Who are their associates? What
arc their habits? Where do they go in
anil at what time do you see them
come out? Policemen, would the
night life of young men commend them
to the confidence 1 of their employers?
Would it he to their credit?
Make a record of the nights of one
week. Put in the morning paper the
names of all the young men, their lmh-
it* and haunts, that are on the streets
for sinful pleasure, would there not be
shame and confusion? Some would
not dare to go to their places of busi
ness; some would cturn home at
night; some would leave tho city; some
igould commit suicide. Remember,
young men, that in the retina of the
all-seeing Eye there is nothing hid hut
shall bo revealed on the last day.—

Cotton Seed oil mills,
Albany is a good point Tor the estab
lishmcnt of an industry of this kind,
and we would be gratified to see some
enterprising capitalists engage in it
f ur railroad .facilities for receiving and
shipping are unsurpassed by those of
any cotton section, we know of. The
manufacture of cotton seed has attained
degree of importance never dreamed
of in anti-bellium days. The refined
oil is made as sweet as olive oil and is
not only used as such in the Unitad
States, but it is now largely exported
to Italy, to compete with the native
olive oil, which is a staple article.
It is there used for adulterating the
native article, and then it is exported
again as genuine olive oil. This has
already become a serious matter, as of
the six million gallons of cotton seed
oil which were exported from the
United Stntes during last year, the
greater poition went to Italy. The
Italian Government, therefore, in order
to check this adulteration, has imposed
a heavy duty upon the importation of
cotton seed oil from the United States.
We learn from an exchange that the
exportation, which in 1877 and 1878
was about one a half million gallons
per year, reached in 1879 nearly six
millions, and this will be surpassed in
1880. Our home consumption of the
article is over two millions gallons per
year. Mississippi and Louisana have
each nine oil mills; Tetinessee, eight;
Texas, six; Arkansas, four and Mis
souri, Alabama and Georgia, two each;
together, 42. At present 410,000 tons
of the seed are pressed, yielding
35 gallons of oil and 7G0 pounds of oil
cake to the ton of seed. The oil cake

is largely’uscd for cattle’

“SOUTH BUN
HAU8.”
Bend For tbe Boldlsrs with their
Guns.
From a gentleman who arrived in
the city on tho Savannah, Florida and
Western R’y. train Wednesday morn
ing, we learned that a scene was enact
ed in Florida, on the line of the J. P.
ft 51. Railroad, Tuesday night, that will
doubtless bo written un by the stalwart
Republican organs of the North as a
genuine case] of Kukluxing, and that
will call for a visitation of a strong de
tachment of Federal soldiers to the
Land of Flowers.
We are unable to giro the names of
the parties to the affair, but tho attend-
ing circumstances, as we obtained them,
are about aa'follows; It seems that
there was some alleged crookedness in
the recent election in Madison county,
Florida, and that a Bccret service
emissary of the Republican party was
assigned to work a case up against tho
supposed perpetrators. Four respect
able citizens of Madison county were
accordingly arrested at Madison on
Tuesday, and the deputy United States
Marshal having them in charge took
them aboard tho train bound for Jack
sonvillo on Tuesday night, and locked
them up, together with about twenty
witnesses against them, in the sleeping
car. When the train had proceeded
about two miles from 5fadison it was
signaled and stopped by a company of
inaqued men, who at onco took charge
of tho engineer and conductor, and in
stituted a thorough search of the train
from the headlight to the rear platform,
as if they had lost something. The of
ficer in charge of the prisoners evi
dently took in the situation in an in
stant, and formed a correct idea as to
what the frightful masqueraders were
after; so he lost no time in throwing
himself upon the neck and tender mer
cies of the porter of the sleeper, who,
being unable to resist the penitent cry
of “Hide me oh, my saviour,” promptly
locked him up in his sheet elo'et.
It is not at all probable that the
badly frightened deputy marshal would
have been harmed if he had remained
in his sent and offered no resistance,
but the disgusted delegation from the
woods wore evidently bent on releas
ing the four prisoners that he had in
charge, which, of course, they succeed
ed in doing.
No violence was done by the crowd
to anything or any person on the train,
and as soon as the prisoners were re
leased all that seems to have been de
sired was accomplished, and the train
was permitted to proceed.
Now the Radical organs of the North
will have a full-grown “Southern out
rage” to howl over for the next six
months. Let ’em howl!
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
No business of importance was trans-
aotod by the Legislature on Tuesday,
th: 6th day of tbe session, except the
inauguration of Gov, Colquitt. We
take the following report of tho cere
monies from tbe Constitution:
Tnx inauguration.
At 12 o’clock tho Senate appeared at
tho door of the House and wa< admit
ted. As the Senators marched up.tho
aisle the Fifth Artillery band struck up
a lively air, which added no little en
thusiasm of the crowd.
- President Boynton took the chair and
said:
“The General Assembly has met in
joint session to inaugurate the Gov
ernor-elect”
In a few moments the Governor wa-
announced at the door and entered tho
aisle on the arm of Senior Meldriin. In
the procession wore the J udges of tho
Supreme Court, Rev. C. A. Evans, Hon.
•I. C. Clements, member elect from |hu
Seventh Congressional District Hon
L N. Trammell, Hon. Jo-oph E. Blown.
Judge McCutclieon and other dis
tinguished Georgians.
As the proces-ion went up the aisle
the band played “Hail to the Chief,”
in a very spirited manner.
General Evans offered a fervent pray
er for the divine blessing on the occa
sion, the administration, the State. ,ol
G iorgia, and the enure country.
After tho prayer there was music,
and the President said :
“Gentleman of the General Assembly:
I have the pleasure to announce that
Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt, Governor-
elect, is present and ready to deliver
his inaugural address.”
Governor Colquitt arose and was re
ceived with applause. He delivered
an appropriate address.
The oath of office was adminstered
by Chief Justice Jackson.
President Boynton then said—“As
presiding officer of the General Assem
bly. I declare that Alfred H. Colquitt
has been duly elected Governor ‘of
Georgia for the ensuing two years and
will be obeyed and respected as such.”
[Cheers.]
The great seal of the State was then
delivered to the Governor, who hand
ed it to Colonel N. C. Barnett, Secre
tary of State.
The band then played a medley of
“Hail Columbia," “Yankee Doodle’’
and “Dixie,” which was heartily cheer-
ed on the floor and in the galleries.
The Governor then retired and the
joint session was, on motion of Senator
McDaniel, dissolved.
The House, on motion of Mr. Du-
Bignion, adjourned to 10 o'clock to
morrow morning.

not object to my venting my feelings
in the plain manner I would use were
1 seated with one of them on his fence
or under his gin shed.
If I had not for years thirsted for
the blood of the fiend who first said,
“I told you so,” I might use these
words here. When, some time since
I said in your columns, “The Democrat
who counts any Northern State as se
cure for his party underrates the power
of money in the hands of an unprinci
pled party, and the lorce of a lie reit
erated by the press with subsidized
pertinacity.” I apprehended the pur
chase of these States by Eastern capi-
tal. They have been bought. Like
any other tax a tariff ia levied for rev
enue, and the party who has not the
integrity and ability to boldly maintain
it before the people deserves defeat.
But let all this pas s for the present.
One of the first of English poets wrote:
“Whatever sky’s above me, here a
heart for every fate," and certainly
there is something In this couplet en
couraging to a man caught out In a
shower or hail storm, while to the be
wildered wanderer in a wood, from
which pluck and perseverance may ex
tricate him it is positively reassuring,
“pick your flints and try it again,” said
the immortal Kentuckian. The Amer
ican people have Icon bought, and you
should make up your minds to take it
quietly and go to work to earn your
breid and bacon. Were it possible to
reason energy and enterprise into
Southern capitalists one might write
volumes to show the natural advan
tages of their section for manufactur
ing and for commercial independence,
without which they must ever be sub
ject to the domination of others. Ex
cept the deficiencies above mentioned
the South has every clement of inde
pendence that the God of Nature has
bestowed upon any people. The West
can supply all these necessities which
you will not produce for yourselves}
and with interests identical with your
own, is your natural ally. Cultivate
that section. If other sections com
bine to compress the South she can but
be solid in self-defense. It isaneces-
sity not to be avoided, and your only
hope lies in firmly maintaing that sol
idity; but you should intelligently use
your natural advantages to make
friends outside. It would be a decided
improvement to remove the domina
tion from Wall street to the honest
farmers of tho West. St. Louis, Louis
ville, Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilmington,
Chariest >n, Savannah, Mobile, New
Orleans and Galveston offer all the fa
cilities for trade that you requiro until
yon limy effect, through them, such
foreign connections ns will render you
commercially independent. This is
first and great necessity, and until you
shall have attained it you must remain
tho juinping-jack to the string pulled
by Wall street. You are forced to sol
idify by those wh-i seem determined to
reduco you to political subordination,
and tho political trickster who may
now attempt to break your runks
should be eternally damned for a trai
tor. J, h. X.
Colored Iimmlg:ration.
The colored emmigration fever is
getting unpleasantly close down to us
in Southwest Georgia An emmigra
tion meeting was recently held by the
colored people of Georgia and Ala
bama, on the Montgomery Fair
Grounds, at which the attendance was
estimated at between four and five
thousand. A determination to move
somewhere seemed to actuate all, while
Kansas, Colorado and Liberia were the
favorite places! The majority favored
settlement in the young African re
public.
We hope this colored exodus move
ment will not reach Southwest Geor-
gia until we have secured other labor.
In fact we don’t want our colored labor
to leave us, because, in our bumble
opinion it is the best we can get

Death, or what is worse, is tbe inevita
ble result of continued suspension ot tbe
menstrual flow. It is a condition which
should not be trifled with. Immediate re
lief is the only safeguard against constitu

suspension or other irregularities of tbe
“courses," Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Reg

giving tone t<v the nervous centres, im

is a legitimate prescription, and tbe most

A Tribute to Den. Hancock.
The New York Herald says: “Gov.
Cornell’s Thanksgiving proclamation is

ably issued a private and personal
thanksgiving order of his own. Among
the men who have been prominently

months none have found the excite

Express,
—Sarah Bernhardt is a pronounced
blonde, and is said to have brought
over two hundred silk dresses from
England with her. Wouldn’t she turn
tho heads of the Albany boys, though?
Is tt Possible.
That a remedy made of such common
simple plants as Hops, Buchn, Man
drake, Dandelion, etc., make so many
nnd such marvelous and wonderfiil
cures as Hop Bitters do? It must be,
for when old and young, rich and poor,
1’astor ami Doctor, Lawyer mid Editor,
all testify to having been cured by
them, we' must believe and doubt no
longer. See other column—Poet.
