It is a tough class of passengers that
the conductors on the Brunswick &
Albany Railroad have often to deal
with. The negroes that go about
from one saw mill or turpentine distil
ler; to another are frequently the most
numerous of the passengers. On Sat
urday night en route to Brunswick
there were some half a dozen negroes
on Capt. Crovatt’s train ticketed to At
kinson station. A bottle of whisky
was circulating freely in the crowd,
and when the station was reached one
of the half-drunkeq brutes refused to
get off, saying he would stay on until
he got his bottle ot liquor,which some
■“d—n thief’’ liad stolen. He was
ejected, however, and when he reach
ed the ground he turned around,
whipped out a pistol and fired at Capt.
'Crovatt. A slight change of position
■simultaneous with the shot caused the
bullet intended for Capt. Crovatt’s
breast to speed through the right
breast and right ileeve of his coat,
tasking four holes. The train was
quickly run back and the would-be
murderer captured. He denied being
the man, but the pistol with one dis
charged chamber was found on his per
son, and he was bound and carried to
Brunswick, where ho had a committal
trial and the charges against him prov
en (4early. He was brought back
to the jail at Jesup, and will undergo a
Superior Court trial.
Too much credit cannot be given
Capt. Crovatt for his prompt, nervy
and brave action. The travelers on
hi. train may rest assured that he will
protect them even at the risk of life.

BUI Wright, a Colored Elan,U Shot
Down by a Drunken tli
Particular* of the Killing.
Saturday evening, at about 3 o'clock,
a negro man rushed u ildly into the
apartment of Sheriff Felix Edwards, it
the Court House, and told bim that
his brother, Bill Wright, who lived on
Col. T. II. Willingham’s Mobley place,
had been shot, and wanted him to go
out and capture the man who did the
shooting. Quick prepirati. ns for a ride
weer made, and, a* Mr. Edwards and a
yomg gentleman he selected to go
with him on the trip stepped in the
buggy, he told the negro to got tli
warrant and come on.
A half hour’s ride brought them to
the W llii-gliam place, which is run
by M r. W. L. Brantly. At the negro
quarter they found a group of ne
gro men and women, surrounding a
White mail named James William
son. (Williamson, on seeing the
Sheriff, met him, and, almost ^be
fore Mr. Edwards could say “You are
ury prisoner,’’ he told him that he
had been arrested by the negroes who
charged him with killing -Bill Wright.
“Before God! I don’t know anything
about it,” be said.
When the arrest had been perform
ed, the Sheriff left the prisoner with
his companion, and entered the cabin
Wherein the mail who had been shot
lay. Mr. Edwards approached life
bed, and, the negro recognizing him*
began his account of the circumstance
as follows:
“Mr. Williamson told me to go and
catch two mules—one for him and one
for me—and go witli him to get some
cows out of the field. I went and got
the mules, and, as I came out of the lot
with them, I met Mr. Williamson and
a colored man [the name of the colored
man is suppressed as there is a war
rant for his arrest] who had a gun.
Mr. Williamson started to get up on
the male, and sorter staggered back.
He said, ‘I’m too d—d drunk to get
on the mule.’ I told him I thought he
was too, and that I would help him to
get np on the mule. ‘G—d d—n you,’
he said, ‘I don’t want you to help me.’
1 told him all right, then, I won’t help
you. Then Mr. Williamson said, ‘Don’t
give me none of your d—n lip; if you
do I’ll kill yon.’ I said, ‘No you
Won’t,’ and started off to leave him.
I heard Mr. Williamson then tell the
man who was with him to give him the
gun, and, in a second, I was shot down.
Mr. Williamson ran into a little work
shop and hid.’’
'Could it not have been an accident?'.’
asked the Sheriff. -
No, sir; Mr. Williamson shot me
on purpose, Mr. Edwards,” said the
fast sinking man.
“New, Bill,” said Mr. Edwards,
'you are, in my opinion, on your dying
bed. You have made very grave
charges against Mr. Williamson.
Come, now, don’t tell me anything but
the truth.’’
“Mr. Edwards,” said Bill, “I know
I'll not live to see the sun rise, and
I’m telling you the truth. For God’s
sake don’t leave that man here for he
has killed me !’’
With this, Mr. Edwards took his
departure. He says the negro was
shot in the bowels, several of the en
trails protruding from the horrid
wound. The gun was loaded with'
buckshot. The negro died during the
night.
A News and Advertiser reporter
called at the jail Monday to see Mr.
Williamson. From a cell ou the first
floor stepped into the lobby a spare
bnilt young man, of perhaps less than
medium height. His dress indicated
him to be a laboring man, and bis con
versation that be did not belong to
the downright “hoosier” type. He
seemed quick in movement but at tbe
same time deliberate and unexcitable
in speech.
After an inlrodiicthin the reporter
briefly stated the purpose of his visit.
“I don’t want anuhing said about it
in the papers uu account of my sis-
teiu," said the prisoner.
It was then explained to him that
his trouble most of necessity go into
print, as the public demanded this
service from newspapers; that the re
porter had already heard the story of
the other side, and public opinion
would most probably be better dis
posed towards him if he would come
out and give his side.
“Well,’’ said he quickly. “It’s just
like I told Mr. Edwards Saturday
night. I don’t know anything about
it The first I recollect is that about
a hundred negroes, looked to me like,
were yelling around me, saying that I
had killed Bill Wright. Me and Mr.
Brantley were drinking right smart
Saturday. I don’t know one thing
about it; lint I reckon if I am guilty I
must suffer.’’
‘•'Where are you from, Mr. William
son? 1 ’ asked the reporter.
“I was raised over here in Terrell
county, bnt for some time past I have
been living with my uncle in Coweta
county. I got ont of work np there
and come on down here. I got to Al
bany and went to work for Mr. Brant
ley, whose wife is my cousin.’’
This ended the conversation, and the
reporter took his leave.
“The fellow is in a bad fix,” said
the Sheriff walking np from the jail.
“Was he drunk when you captured
him?” we asked.
“No; he looked like a man who was
in liquor slightly, bnthe was not crazy
drunk. He has spoken to me since of
incidents ot the night, and his memory
is faultless.’’
The unfortunate man has not yet
obtained counsel, but will probably
succeed in getting it in a few.Jays.

Death of Mr. Frank D. Steele.
Death bas sgaiD entered the portals
of our city and claimed one of our
most worthy and promising young
men for its victim. Frank D. Steele
is no more! After a lingering illness
with that dread disease, consumption,
he quietly passed away at about
o’clock Monday morning.
Frank Dennis Steele was born on
the ilth of Jane, 1858, and was, there
fore, not yet twenty-four years of age
at the time of his death. At an early
age he entered the office of his
father, Captain Joseph T. Steele,
the efficient agent of the 8., F. Sc W.
R’y., in this city, where he filled the
position of assistant freight clerk until
about two years ago, when he was pro
moted to a higher position on the East
ern Division of tbe road. In due time
he became a conductor on the road,
but in the hard service of that position
his health soon began to fail him, and
he was assigned to a place in the office
of the company at Savannah. Grad
ually he continued to decline in health,
until he was compelled to abandon the
service of the road. After his return
to the family home in this city it was
hoped that, with skillful medical treat
ment and the constant attention of lov
ing ones, his health wonld improve;
but alas, alas! the fatal disease had al
ready doomed him to an early death,
lie met death calmly, bravely, breath
ing his last without even a gasp or
shudder at the conscious approach of
that sleep from which there is no awak
ening. May bp rest in peace!
To the bereaved family, and especi
ally to the doting, heart-broken moth
er of o*ur young friend, do oar sympa
thies go out beyond any measure that
words can express.
Frank Steele’s Fnneral.
The last sad riles of the church in
which he was reared were said Tues
day over the remains of Frank Steele.
The Albany Guards, of which he was a
member, bore his remains to their last
resting place. At the Presbyterian
church was preached by the pastor the
funeral sermon, in which the ardent
young pastor so consolingly, so elo
quently, so fervently told of the home
that would be reached by “the inquir
ing voice.’’
While the noble boy is dead to
earth, to kindred and to fiiends, let
loving survivors hope that as his body,
tired of the turmoils and the strifes of
the world, has laid down to its rest,
that the spirit has flown without the
realm of worldliness, of empty hopes
of unfulfilled dreams, and taken its
place where angels dwell aud all is
peace and joy and love.

Camilla, Oa., March 3,1882.
It is uow believed that the raids
which were made upon the market,
commencing with the attack upon
Louisville and Nashville, were for the
purpose of shaking ont weak holders.
Speculators on jiargins have been
hanging' on since the beginning of the
year in the hope of a boom sufficient
ly great to give them a profit, and, if
the market had been so advanced, they
would doubtless IiaTe sold out ou the
rise, and thus saddled the leaders of
the bull movement with au uncomfort
able load of stocks.
Joy and happiness lias been brought
to the hearts of mothers, and the bloom
of health restored to the cheeks of
darlings, bv Da. JlOFFrrr’s
—We have had no opportunity to
gather news for our readers this
week. We Asked Pete for nows.
He said there was none that inter
ested the public that he knew of,
but so far as he himself was con
cerned that somebody bad been tak
ing too much liberty with him—
that he wanted his friends to feel at
home and all that, eta, but some
times things were carried too far.
“What has happened, Pete ? Any do
mestic affliction?” “Yes, somebody
has stolen my dog, Dash, and Lcan’t
go a hunting. I wish they would
let Dash alone.”
—Scaife said he bad no news, un
less the public wanted to know he
was a guano dealer, and that he bad
received a letter from a North Caro
lina cousin wanting to know if this
was a good conn try to move to.
Hamp wrote him it was a good poor
man’s country, as he knew of no
body getting rich.
—W. N. Spence had nothing new.
He said, taking back what he bad
expressed, that the Swatts and Mc-
Elvain case was settled for good by
the Supreme Court.
—We saw I. A. Bnsb, Esq* walk
ing hurriedly. We thought from
his busy air he was full of pews, and
we would get a budget for the paper.
Bat he declared he was too busy to
find ont any news, that he had the.
work of two men to do. In his
hand was a keg of paint; we want
ed to knffw if he was playing lawyer
and painter too. Not at all, but he
was buying paint to have his new
home repainted. -That new home
is rightopposite the Baptist church,
plenty near for hot dinners daring
court week.
—We met Mr. G. B. S watts. He
has opened a restaurant at the cor
ner. He bought out Heppe. He pro
poses to keep fresh fish, oysters,
breads, etc. His wife will superin
tend the business.
—At Dr. Spence’s drug store we
saw some life. Boxes of drugs were
being opened from Lamar, Bankin
& Lamar. He gave us specimens of
his new cigars.
—The new firm of Hartsfield Sc
Baggs seemed also to be busy. This
new firm is a popular one, and their
increasing business shows it.
—W. A. Hurst said ho had “plen
ty nows’’ for the department. “What
is it, Wiley ?” “Why, did. yon not
know I am fixing up my house, ad
ding several rooms, built more chim-
nics, painting it np and all that, and
preparing for a big time court
week.’’ We did not know a thing,
when he closed one eye as if sighing,
stepped forward, and, with finger
pointing to his hotel, said, “Jnst
look yonder.”
—Court will open the third Mon
day and continue two weeks, it is
said.
—A few days ago, on Washing
ton’s birthday, the 23d, a basket of
early vegetables was sent to ns by
Mrs. Col. John Wards. It contain-
tained English peas, radishes, mus
tard, large heads of lattice, and
spring turnips, large as turkey
eggs. Mrs. Ward has certainly
shown what can be done here, even
in ordinary gardening.
—A heavy rain fell here on the
28th. It brought [general rejoicing,
as the ground was dry and the oat
was needing rain. Tho Hessian fly
has appeared in some of the early
oats, diseasing them as two years
ago.
Corn-planting has progressed rap
idly this week, and farmers seem
determined to make a crop. Bnt
they are above aU people, prone to
disappointment. They have to take
all the weather chances. In the
spring their crops look well—the
soil here being easily worked and
free. In early summer they are
lifted high in hope, and they talk
flatteringly of their prospects. Bnt
before Jnly comes the vicissitudes
of the seasons change their hopes
into fears, and when the harvest
comes rust, caterpillars, storms, low
prices, -itc., leave them hardly euongh
to buy bacon for the first month of
the next year. Still, they toil on,
hoping next year wi’l repay them.
—When speaking of Camilla and
her improvements we forgot to men
tion how Mr. W. H. Morgan is
bringing ont the Western part of
the town. Mr. Morgan will he a
man.
—W. M. Watkins has rented the
wood-shop of W. A. HnrsL Gns
Ho&me has the blacksmith shop, and
they are doing a lively business.
—We were so taken with a new
buggy we saw the other day that
we asked the owner where he got it.
He replied it was made in Camilla
by Lee Heath.
—There was something about that
letter from “Tuck C.’’ that made us
think it was one of Capt. Hobbs’
practical jokes.
—The dissolution of Dr. W. A. J.
Spence and H. W. Spence appears
this week. Dr. Spence takes charge
himself. The Doctor is increasing
bis business.
—Miss Bessie Hampton, formerly
of Camilla,' married, some two
weeks ago, Mr. Hines, of
Florida. Miss Bessie is a favorite
of the writer, and he wishes her
much happiness.
—Mr. D. D. Davis, the silver
smith, is back in Camilla at bis old
stand. We trust he will make Cam
illa his permanent home.

vauauia, wa., NQV. 30, 1381,
The Legislature of Utah has adopt
ed a memorial to Congress declaring
that in conseqnence of baseless ru
mors and monstrous exaggerations,
the people whom they represent, have
been placed in jeopardy and are now
threatened with the deprivation of the
right of local self-government. The
memorial denies at great length every
thing ever charged 8gainst the Mor
mons and accuses the representatives
of the Federal Government in Utah of
every species of wrong doing possible.
The Mormons declare that as the Ter
ritory is overwhelmingly Democratic,
the Republicans are determined
to prevent its admission into the
Union as a State, by disfranchising
a large portion of its voting popula
tion. _

Nothing is so conducive to a man’s

six hours by the crying of a cross baby.

Hop Bitters to make them weU and
