the ring of the true metal.

ganized, and their beloved pastor and
his good lady are justly very proud of
it.
Captured Crane,
The readers of the News and Apvf.r-
tiser remember the brutal George
rane, who, just two inonlhs ago,
whipped his child to death 'on Mr.
Coshy’s place, in* East Dougherty, and
which act of fiendishness was duly re
ported in these columns.
The brute evaded arrest until Sat
urday morning^ and it happened in
this way: A negro living on Mr.
Cosby’s place bad promised Sheriff
Edwards that if Crane ever returned
to the place, or its vicinity, he ivould
inform him, and that if the Sheriff was
ot in convenient distance he would tell
either Messrs. Billie or John Martin,
two young men of the neighborhood.
These gentlemen, with Mr. Nathan
Grass, were at Blue Spring fishing
yesterday morning, wheu they were
approached by the negro mentioned,
and informed that Crane was at that
moment in his cabin on Mr. Cosby’s
premises.
These young gentlemen immediate
ly repaired to the spot and surround
ed the house. The game was in, and
made a break out of the door for liber
ty. He waa covered by a shot gun,
induced to halt, was bound and brought
into town and lodged in jail.
He is a most pitiable aspect of fright,
and can hardly talk connectedly. He
says he has been down about Camilla
eyer since the deed was done, and that
he came up just to be about home once
more; that lie really whipped his child
to death, but did so unintentionally ;
the boy resisted his correction, and bit
and fought him until be beat him to
death before be was aware of what he
had done.
It is going to be rough on Mr. Crane.
This is not the first child he has beaten
to death. We are informed that it
can be established that a year or two
ago another one of his children had
died in a short time after a whipping
from the brutal father’s hand.

jfow St Is Tliat Oar People Are Not
By Thursday’s mail to the News
and Advertiser came 'the following
letter:
Alafaha, Ga., June 14, 1882
Mr. 11. M. MeIntosh, Albany, Ca.:
Dear Sir: 1 inclose an article taken
from y* si onlay’s News a\‘d Auviflfc-
tiskr. and would like very much to
know all the particulars, as we have
all we hare bought on hand I have
l>eon :tatisfi-d of a combination all (he
white, and for that reason have not
offered a pound for sale. If you will
4ako the iron Mo in give the desired in
formation I will be very much obliged.
Very truly yours,
\V. S. Walker.
’In this letter was inclosed the fol
lowing item, taken from a recent issue
of the News and Advertiser:
A wool pool has been uncovered,
so, »f you*can, it would be better to
hold your wool awhile.
When this item was written the
writer had it in his head that our local
buyers were in a little scheme to gatli
er up the fleece produced in this sec
tion at a nominal price—far below' it*
value. Since its appearance we have
been enquiring particularly, and every
buyer informed ns tliat he knew
nothing of any pool. He does not
but there is a pool governing the price
of wool remote from him. It is in
Boston, Mass., the great wool market
of the Union. There the brokers have
everything in their hands. The differ
ent States are apportioned out, and
the one who buys fleece from one
State will not touch the product ot
another. For ir.stance, you go to Bos
ton with wool, “Where are you from? - '
asks the.buyer to whom you oiler it.
“Georgia,” say you. “Well, I’m not
buying Georgia wool to-day. My
friend, over the way there, is buying
Georgia wool.’’ Thus it is that in tin*
Northern newspaper market reports
you see Georgia wool quoted, Alaba
ma wool, Mississippi wool, etc. Every
Slate is apportioned and given over to
its wool merchant in Boston, and all
are members' of one pool. Well, Bos
ton controls Savannah, and Savannah
controls Albany and every other inte
rior wool market in the Slate of Geor
gia—and this is the wool pool.
The only remedy is, for the interior
merchants to put on a little backbone,
and refuse to allow Savannah to con
trol them by shipping their buyings to
New York to commission houses.
Concert of action iu this would soon
bring Hosting down on her knees, lor
Georgia’s wool crop iaiiot to be sneez
ed at even in as big a town as Boston.
You can force the local buyer to pay a
fair price for your wool by holding it.
and this we would advise you to do.
Wool was selling in Albany yester
day for 20 cents, when it ought t«
haye brought twice that sum.

Camlltr, Ga., June 18, 1882.
Library Hall.
II is with pleasure tliat tve clironi
ole flie fact that Albany has at Iasi
a creditable Library Hail, and we are
to no longer allude to our popular rc
sort as the library rooms-, lint Library
Hall. The owners of said rooms
kindly gave their peruiissioti for the
partition to be removed, and yester
day it was knocked onl, throwing file
rooms into one, and making a com
modious, well-ventilated, attractive
hall. This is a matter of rongralnla
tion lo the habitues o r the Library, as
well as the performers in and attend
ants upon the regular semi-monthly
entertainments. We are very much
in hopes that the change will tend lo
start a new boom for our Library, as
in order for the Hall to make a proper
appearance more books are needed
in other words, we have more hall
than we have hooks.
tlleclln—of tile Board ol Trade.
The Albany board of Trade held an
important, meeting at C’apt. Hobb’s of
fice on Wednesday evening. The
suddenness of the call accounted for
the absence of several of the mem
hers, lmt the meeting was not the less
active. A resolution was passid
which accomplished alt the meeting
intended. Tliat resolution appointed
a committee of thne to induce
the County Commissioners to aller
their notice of election upon the bridge
question that has been running sevei al
days. The notice makes the vote upon
a toll bridge as pursuant to the citi
zens meeting, whereas the law requires
it to he upon a free bridge. It is,
therefore, plainly wrong and not in
accordance with the act. “We have
no idea,” said a member of the board,
“that Hie Commissioners thought of
this discrepancy, and they had but the
one idea of service to their county
governing their action. They have
just made a mistake. If you see any
of them to-morrow I wish you would
tell them to hold a meeting forthwith.
There was not a single one of them in
town to-day.”
A mu, feeling after meals, dyspep
sia, heartburn, and general ill health
relieved by Brown’s Iron Bitters.
Wool From Colquitt.
Mr. J. B. Norman, of Colquitt coun
ty, accompanied by some of his neigh
bors, brought fifteen bales of prime
wool to Albany Friday, Jand sold it
at 27;.; cents. Colquitt sends two or
three neighborhood delegations to this
city with wool eveiy season, and oar
merchants and wool buyers are always
glad to see them. Mr. Norman says
that he has several bales more of the
fleece, and that he intends to briog
that in as soon as the News and Ad
vertiser reports another rise in the
market.
Should you be a sufferer from dys
pepsia, indigestion, malaria, or weak
ness, you can be cured by Brown’s
Iron Billers.
Two great evils—headache and
constipation, afflicting nearly all hu-
nianity, are relieved by Bailer’s

It is only the rich who can stay

A Former Albany Boy Graduates
at Annapolis.
Among Ibis year's^ graduates at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and
standing seventh injiis class, is Cadet
Marbury Johnston, who will he re
membered as a former Albany young
ster, ton of Capl. T. II. Johnston, now
of Macon. As Albany is the native
place of the young man she claims
him aud is proud of him, and before
he goes into active service if he should
visit his old home he would have
some idea of hdw proud she is of him.
Quarterly Conlereucc.
t he (bird quarterly conference of
the Albany Charge Methodist Chureh
will be held glo-day at Wesley
Chapel, East Dougherty—the Hall,
Wallace. Johnson, Reynolds, and Kirk-
sey settlement. On Saturday the good
people of the neighborhood usually
spread a picnic dinner of huge propoi-
tiona. They say it is as easy to pre
pare for a large as a .small crowd, and
would be glad to see as inanj- of our
citizens out as will go. Go over next
Saturday, see the pretty crops, hear a
good sermon from Elder ■ Christian,
and enjoy the hospitality of this ex
cellent people. The ; meeting was
begun on Thursday by the pastor, as
sisted by lievs. Mr, Culpepper, of
Blakely, l’erie, of Worth, and Miss
Bagley. of Milledgevitle.
Itrlnrned AYltli tbe Small-Pox.
Many of onr readers are acquainted
with Mr. Jesse Mercer, who was en
gaged in reading law at this place un
der Col. Wooten, a few months since,
anil who subsequently went on a pros
pecting trip out West. It was only a
few weeks ago that the News and Ad
vertiser published an interesting
communication from him from Salt
Lake City. We trust there may he a
mistake in the following, which we
clip from the Johnpreeville corres
pondence of the Americiis /lecordcr:
Some of onr people are what yon
mighf call “skeered” now. The arriv
al of the small-pox in Webster has
caused a great deal of excitement. M r.
Jesse Alercer returned home Irom
Texas about a week ago with small
pox. I)r. John Alston, who lias
treated many caaes, say they are
genuine.
The Jolineon-Dooper Case.
R. M. Johnson, the young man who
had the difficulty with the Cooper
brothers on last Saturday evening,
again appeared with his attorneys and
witnesses before llis Honor, Judge
Warren, thnrsday, .waiving commit
ment trial and making application for
bail.
Two warrants have been sworn out
against Johnson—one lor murder and
the other for assault with intent to
murder. Witnesses were sworn on
both sides yesterday, but the case
was again postponed upon motion of
the State’s attorneys, who showed
that the testimony of Joseph W.
Cooper was important, and that he
w.as not then able,' on account of liis
wound, to appear as a witness. The
case will come up again on next Fri
day, when it is expected that Mr.
Cuoper will be in condition to take
the stand.
Meantime Sfr. Johnson is allowed to
go under bond for $3,000—two thous
and dollars in one case and one thous
and in the other.

There is a platform. You see on it

That clownish fellow, just behind the

—Remember the mass meeting on
the Sill of July. Everybody come
out and aid in selecting delegates.
—The Executive Committee have
taken no action’in several years in
reference to candidates. One ad
vantage in having Hie organization
is the prevention of such an early
canvass. A late canvass is not so
demoralizing. Bill we have no or
ganization here—have bad none in a
long time.
—John Cochran, at f lie depot, says
lie lias it, and plenty of it. to snit the
size of the purchaser. Tubbs free.
— I. T. Callaway has leftus, and
gone :to Americiis. He will take
trip to Piituan and return to East
Albany for the fall season in cottoi’.
—Miss Ball, who lias been spend
ing some days at Capl. Tom Ben
nett’s, has gone back to Thomas]
ville. Miss Harrell is visiting her
brother, and will return to Thomas
ville Saturday. We love this way of
tbe Thomasvillc ladies visiting onr
town.
—Tbe Hurst House is now in full
trim. Mr. Hurst must have been
taking lessons from Uncle Barnes,
of tbe famous Barnes House, at Al
bany.
—L.A.M. Collins, of Flint, brought
his boys down Sunday, but too late
for Sunday School. Ilis daughter,
Miss Della, takes the highest rank in
all her class. We don’t want Al
bany lo claim her for good.
—This is Wednesday. A glorious
day on the farm, but Mclutosb and
Willingham are saying “how hot.”
—Trouble and sorrow are part of
Hie inheritance ol the sons of men.
Peter, on the mountain top, enjoys
the raptnroussplendorand glory of
the transfiguration. But when he
descends (he mountain there was the
inuriitude. He fonud some disput
ing—the Scribes casting contumely,
and others in deep distress and
grief. So it is now. Some hearts
are grieved while others are filled
with joy. Death brings the great
est of earthly sorrows. When we
rode into Camilla on last Friday
evening, it was a shock to ns to learn
that Mrs. W. F. Ilartsfichl had died
on Thnrsday night, the 8th of June.
Mrs. Hart8field was one of those
bright, cheerful women that carry
pleasure wherever she goes. She
had made many friends here. IJer
spell of typhoid fever was long, and
hopes of her recovery were enter
tained by her physician, bat the pre
mature birth of an infant waB too
much for her powers of endurance.
Late Thursday evening she knew
she most die,-an unspeakable joy
filled her sonl. She rang in such
ecstacy of sweet devotion, “Come
Thou Fonnt of Every Blessing,’’ and
“In the Sweet By and By,” that
these hymns seemed like songs from
the belter world. Mrs. Ilartsfield-
was a member of the Baptist church
and was reared in the beautiful
town of Quitman. Tbe sympathies
of the whole commnnily are ex
tended to the bereaved husband and
family.
—Mr. Ilill lias returned to his
home in Georgia. A vast mnltitnde
of the citizens of Atlanta met him at
the carshed. They could not, with
rapturous voices, as of old, call ont
llillt Hilll Hilll No. The tongue
of eloquence was speechless. They
conld not even call for a single
thought from that bright mind.
With beads uncovered, and hearts
beating with sorrow, they preserved
a profound silence as the great man
walked to bis carriage. How pass
ing events must have rushed to the
minds of that sad. throng. They
must nave rfCUiitfu uitf gicar^r
tor’s last warning to his people. j\Ye
all remember that, eloqnent warn
ing—how' Arthur wanted to get a
foothold in' the Democratic strong
hold—how Longs! rect was to be the
Mahone—and how Parson Felton
was being entrapped. Everybody
knows what happened—Ike coali
tion was formed and now exists. It
is a reality, to grow larger as occa
sion gives opportunity. The Car-
tersville Free Press, the organ of
Fellon,savs Mr. Stephens wasgoing
to lead the coalitionists in the
Gubernatorial race, had not lie been
assured by Gov. Colquitt and Sena
tor Brown that he conld get the
nomination from the regular Demo
cratic party, which would be more
respectable than from a mixed'con
cern.
—We read a short editorial in the
News and Advertiser as to Hie
meaning of Mr. Stephens’nou-parly-
ism, and whether he was coquetting
with the coalition or the Democra
cy. We cannot tell. He praises the
Markham House conference of Fel-
ton anil Longslrcet, and says “mat
ters were managed admirably,”
looking to the “best interest of the
Stale.” What is meant here by the
best interest of the State? Does it
mean that a coalition, the avowed
purpose of which is to overthrow
the party of the great body of the
white people, ought to be sustained?
We do not kuow what tbe sentence
means.
Then Mr. Stephens says in bis
Smith letter lie will submit lo the
action of Hie Democratic party in
convenlion wilh tbe distinct under
standing that lie will not be un
mindful of those (the Markham
House Colonels) who first sought
him and beseeched him to be their
leader. The Cartersville Free Press
says upon Ibis proviso it is willing
to take Mr. Stephens, not fearing
his allegiance to the coalition crowd.
The Free Fress says the Casey let
ter, with Ike letters written lo Dr.
Felton, is worlli more than Hie
Smith letter, which it says was un
duly influenced by the personal
presence of Gov. Colquitt. The
Free Press, it appears, confidently
expects a division of the Gubernato
rial patronage. This is what the
editor of the News and Advertiser
objected to. He wanted no divis
ion, no foothold given fo those who
formed a coalil ion to gel the State
into their bands. How much inter
est then, if the patronage of-
(lie Slale is to be divided be
tween Hie Jacobins (coalitionist,
the Arthur combination) and the
Democrats, have we, as a party, in
Mr. Stephens? The Jacobins have
two wings—the Republicans nmler
Longstreel and Hie Independents
under Felton and.Speer. So one-
third to each leaves one-third in
lerest to the great old Democratic
party—the party which, with all
the Slate House blunders of 79
under Colquitt, is the only one
to which property holders can look
with any confidence. This qnestion
of giving the coalitionists two-thirds
of the patronage is a very practical
one, and one which the convention
should examine into before the Dem
ocratic crown is placed upon the
brow of even Alex. H. Stephens.
—Camilla was lively Saturday.
Trade was brisk. This is not to be
wondered at. This is a good point
for trade. People will come twenty
miles to trade, even on a credit. We
are afraid to tell the “time” price of
bacon. It would sonnd like ro
mance—or the price of coffee dnring
the war. The cash trade of Camil
la onght to be good. The day la
borers are paid cash; so are the tur
pentine hands and many farm hands.
The turpentine business is immense.
The amonnt of money it will sell for
during this year will be $300,000.
This is nearly equal to the combined
cotton crop of tbe county. The
cotton crop is abont $325,000.
Three years ago, prior to the dis
asters of the oat crop, much corn
was shipped from the country. But
with all this onr people are not rich.
They are poor. We have not even
many rich men, indeed not a single
one I But the county is filled up
with men of vim and energy, and
the blessings of wealth may crown
their efforts. Fortunes are expected
out of the turpentine. It has already
made a number of men financially
easy.” In turpentine there is no
stealage, and yon pay only fo~ the
work absolutely done.
—The newspaper here will have
big title: “The South Georgia
Clarion.” All right. Blow ye hard
the trumpet for Mitchell comity and
this section of Georgia. Mr. E. D.
Byars, of Cutbbort, is the bnsiness
manager. He comes well re
commended. Rev. Jno. L. Under
wood is editor.
—We have just learned of the
death of Mrs. Wilson While, dangh-
tcr of Rev. E. J. Rentz, who was
pastor of tbe Methodist church
here several years ago. We have
seen but little of tbe departed woman
since the great revival dnring her
father’s pastorate here. Bat she
then impressed every one as no or
dinary woman. The Christian knows
how to accept these sorrows:
“The joy God promises to impart
Ue» like a cordial at His heart."
