The version the News and Adver

was merely a mistake as we had uo idea

and Advertiser was not “listening for
the same old story,” and rejoices as
much as does the News*.t the promising
state of affairs that are likely to follow

A Mississippi planter says the
greatest curse at the South is the

adds: “A negro will go almost naked

than the outcast Indian in that re

to explain the length of the comet’s
tail to a colored man as to try to im
press upon him the r ecessity to work
on S-fcturday. There is another ruin
ous effect derived from these country
stores. They hare every dollar that-
the negro earns, and a great deal more
mortgaged long before the cotton
crop is a foot high.”
ten o’clock General Joseph A. Mabry,
Major Thomas O’Connor and Joseph
A. Mabry, Jr., were killed in a
shooting affray. The difficulty
began yesterday afternoon by Gen
eral Mabry attacking Major O’Con
nor and threatening to kill him.
This was at the fair grounds and
O’Connor told Mabry it was not the
place to settle their difference
Mabry then told O’Connor he should
not live. It seems that Mabry was
armed and O'Connor was not. The
cause of the difficulty was an old
icud about the transfer of some
property from Mabry to O’Connor.
.Later v jn the afternoon Mabry
sent word to O’Connor that he
would kill him on sight. This morn
ing O'Connor was standing in the
door of the Mechanics National
Bank, of which he was President
General Mabry and another gentle
man were walking down Gay street,
on ihe opposite side from the oank.
O’Connor stepped into the bank,
got a shot gun, took deliberate aiju
at General Mabry and fired. Mabry
fell dead, being shot in the * left side.
As he tell OV-onnor shot again, the j
►hot taking effect ill Mabry’s tliijh.
O’Connor ihen :ea*hed into the
bank and got another shot gun.
About this time Joseph A. Mabry,
Jr., son of Geperal Mabry, came
rushing down tlie street, unseen by
O’Connor until within forty foul*,
when young Mabrt fired a pistol,
the shot taking effect in O’Connor’s
breast, passing through the body
near the heart.
The instant Mabry shot, O’Con
nor turned and fired, the load taking
effect in young Mabry’s right breast
and side.
Young Mabrv fell pierced with
twenty htn'kdiotfand almost instam-
IP O’Connor fell dead without a
struggle. Young Mabry tried to ris**,
but fell back dead. The whole trag
edy occurred within two minutes,
and neither of the three spoke after
he was shot. General Mabry hail
about thirty buckshot in his body.
A bystander was painfully wound
ed in the* thigh with a buckshot,
and another was wounded in tlie
arm. hour other men had their
clothes pierced by buckshot. The
affair caused great excitement, and
Gay street is thronged with thous
ands of people. General Mabry
and his son Joe were acquitted only
a few days ago of the murder of
Moses Lusby and Dan. Lusb)*, fath
er and son, whom the)' killed a few
weeks ago. Will Mabry was killed

the cost 12 years ago, for an inferior
article, was $4 80 p.er 1000.
As will be seen from the special dis
patch elsewhere in this morning’s
News and Advertiser, five of the
six Eastman rioters, who were con
victed of mnrder in the first 'degree,
were duly executed according to law
yestJi’day. The Governor respited the
sentence of Isaac Shipman, and it is
thought that when his case is reviewed
it will be found that he was not equal
ly guilty with the ’five others. Con
trary to all expectation, but few ne
groes went to Eastman yesteiday, and
the trouble that was anticipated did
not arise. The majesty of the law has
here been vindicate d at a fearful cost
of human life, and it is to be honed
that the fate of those who brought this
just retribution upon themselves will
be a warning to others—such a warn
ing as will restrain madness and riot in
Georgia for years to come.
Mr. Gorham, of the Republican
National Executive Comra:ttee, being
asked in what Southern States his
party expected to gain Congressmen to
make up for tbeir losses in the North,
replied: “One in Maryland, four in
Virginia, four iu North Carolina, one
in Georgia, three in Alabama, two in
Texas, one in Tennessee, and two al
ready secured in West Virginia.” He
did not specify the districts in which
these gains were expected, and that
oecomes an important inquiry. What
Georgia district is counted on to help
in offsetting Republican Northern
losses with Southern gains? It cannot
be the Ninth, because the re-election
of Speer will not be a gain. Let’s see;'
perhaps the old roan means the Sec
ond. If he does, the people of this dis
trict will show him better. But in
case we are mistaken, the Democrats
of every district iu the State should
be on the alert to prevent the rcaliza-
tiop Mr. Gorham’s calculation.
following e!aboi4tion of the cause of
the killing: *
“Gen. Mabrv \v*< a very wealthy
man before the war, and a very
promiiu nt man. He married a
daughter of Mr. Churchill, who was
also prominent and rich. General
•Mahrv wi\< ven highstrung, but
quiet except when aroused. He
lived in great style and was very
fond of ihe turf, bctiirg large sums
on races. After lue war lie was un
fortunate ill business and was soon
reduced to extremities. His home
was advertised by the sheriff and
aold at a very low figure. Major
O'Connor bu\ing it. General Ma
bry denounced this action as a swin-r
die and claimed that O’Connor had
taken advantage of his necessities to
rob hint. I believe Mabry refused
to give possesion of the place, but
swore that O’Connor would have to
kill him before he got his property.
• Major O’Connor made somesortof
accommodation with him, paying
hint, it is said, $2,000 bonus to yield
without a fight.
The peace that was thus patched
ii p was not a lasting one. There was
bad blood between the parties, and
ugly messages passed from one to
the other. A gentleman told me
that since the Lusby killing he was
sitting in Tom O'Conner’s new bank,
with that gentleman, wheu one of
the Mabry’s come in and made some
threatening remarks. O’Connor
replied quietly, and Mabry then
said that they would “get him” yet
At this Major O’Connor pulled out
a pistol and said: “All right! I’ve
heard of these threats of yours be
fore. I’ve been carrying this pistol
on account ot them, and whenever
you take a notion to shoot me you’d
better shoot quick.”
At this Mabry retired, and O’Con
nor remarked to his friend:
“I’ve done everything that a brave
and honorable man can do to avoid
trouble with that man. But I feel
sut-e that I will have to kill those
two men or be killed by them in less
than a year. I have not even stood
on my rights with them, but lj.ave
yielded point after point .They*
visit on me all their misfortnneband
are relentless iu their hatred. Wnejb
have frequently said that they would
drive me out of Knoxville—that I
can’t stay here and live.”
It is without doubt the old trou
ble that has caused the killing. Gen
eral Mabry was not a noisy man or
a “bull,’’ bufhe hand brooded over
his troubles so long and so nursed
his real or fancied wrongs that he
was a crazed and desperate man.
That Major O’Connor fully expect
ed the difficulty, comprehended its
terrible character, and knew it
meant death, is proved by the readi
ness with which he accepted the sit
uation and the promptness with
which he acted. lie knew that the
law could uot protect him from
such enemies, and he took the law
in 1ms own hands. .
action.
The Ordinary’s books, also, evince
a painstaking effort to faithfully dis
charge every duty which devolves
upon him..
The Treasurer’s books were sub
jected to close inspection, and it is
gratifying to report that our county
has the services of an efficient and
faithful officer in Mr. W. P. Burks.
We cannot commend too highly the
neat simplicity with which bis ac
counts arc-kept, which enabled us to
check rapidly each item with proper
voucher. We pronouuce his report,
hereto appended, as correct.
The Commissioners’ books wero
duly examined, and we find that
the minute* of this court are most
explicit of its acts, embracing the
minutest detail, even to the exact
copies of all bills against the county
presented and ordered paid.
The books and records of Ihe vari
ous Justices of the Peace have been
examined, and we fyid Ihe same to

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The committee on Public Build
ings report them in good order and
condition, and that the jail was es
pecially clean and neat;and that
the prisoners were well cared for
and bountifully fed.
The roads and bridges of pur
county suffered terribly by reason
of the September storm, and, while
they are now passable, yet require
much work to put them in good or

The bridge over Chickasawhatchie
is entirely gone, but we learn a con
tract is out for the erection of a new
one.
New flooring is recomineded to
be placed on Kioka bridge, near
Ducker’s Station.
POOR HOUSE.
Tlie county poor bouses have ten
inmates*. Three white females, ouc
colored female, and six negro men,
all of whom express themselves well
satisfied with provisions made for
their comfort.
Dr. W. A. Strother, the attending
physician, has been faithful and
skilful in his treatment of the pau

Tho revi inn** ari-im; from public
lauds, on wnicli tlie pour houses are
located for the present year, have
been $40 in cash and $400 pounds lint
cotton. We recommend that our
'aithful and efficient County Com
missioners have shade trees planted
around the houses.
PAY OF JURORS AND BAILIFFS.
We have fixed that no jurors,
either grand or petit, receive any
pay for their services for the en
suing year. This action is prompt
ed b£ the fact that a heavy expense
will soon be incurred in the estab
lishment of a free bridge across
Flint river at Albany.
We have fixed the pay of bailiffs
and janitor at ($2) two dollars per
day, and that of riding bailiff at ($3)
three dollars for each day of actual
service.

Tho;-e who were at the depot last
evening might have seen a sight
that would iiave forever acted as a
terrible warning against the sense
less and ai most criminal practice of
frightening children. Mr. C. T.
Armstrong, of Heard comity, was
carrying to MilledgeviHe a drivell
ing idiot only ten years old, that a
few inonihs since was a bright and
intelligent little boy.
It appears that he and his older
brother were in their bedroom one
nighi, when some one thoughtlessly
or maliciously stuck a horse head or
masked head of some kind ill at the
window, frightening the little boys
so badly that they at once lost their
reason, and shortly afterwards went
blind.
The older brother was first taken
to MilledgeviHe where he died, and
now tlie younger is going over
probably- to share the same fate-
Death, in fact, would be a relief to
him, blind and idiotic as he is.
The perpetrator of such a hideous
piece of folly will, no doubt, carry
through life the lesson thus learned; i
and it is to be hoped that this sad I
glory will he circulated throughout;
the State and have its due effect. I
which is as follows: / *
To the Honorable Foreman Grand

to inspect and report upon the con

No. 2, situated in Dougherty county,
under the management of Col.
Lockett, report that they visited tlie
-farm on which the convicts are con
fined and worked, on Tuesday, Octo

The manager reports the number
of prisoners at 65, only one sick.

for their safe-keeping, and, upon full
and free inquiry of manager, guards
and convicts as'to their treatment,
we have no hesitation in reporting
that the provisions of the

keeping and the working of the
prisoners, have been fully and
and carefully carried out.

rior Court term?, that a large num
ber of criminal cases cumber its
dockets, resulting in the lessening of
the terror that speedy punishment
strikes into the hearts of criminals.
, -We, therefore, respectfully ask
that, for obvious reasons, the crimi
nal docket lie ‘-ailed on the second
week of each term of the Superior
Conrt. And fm tln-r suggest that all
classes of cases which the law re
quires to be turned over to county
conrt be transferred by tile Judge
presiding Superior Court.
To His Honor Judge C. B. Woot
en our thanks are due, and hereby
tendered for his uniform kiudness
and courtesy.
And to Mr. Walters, our able and
active Solicitor-General, we return
thanks for his efficient services.
Having great confidence in the-
ability of our worthy County Judge,
the Hon. W. T. Jones, and being in
formed that he will be a candidate
before the next General Assembly
for the Judgeship of the Albany Cir-
cui\ we take pleasure in adding
our endorsement as to his quali
fications and rei-pecifnily ask our
immediate Representative to urge his
election before that body.
We rerommend. that these pre
sentments. be published in the
Weekly News and Advektiseb.
All of which is respectfully submit

this Court and published in the

C. B. Wooten,
J. S. C. A. J. O.
I certify that the above is a true
extract from the minutes of Doogh-
erty Superior Court, Oitober terei.
W. P. Burks, C. S. C.
in some of the newspapers as to my
“political faith” aud my “flop.” I
have uever yet belonged to any par
ticular party, therefore I cannot be
said to have “flopped” from one
party to another.
This letter will explain my “po
litical faith.” A Southerner, I love
the South and its interests. I look
to-day upon the condition of the
colored man in the South, and ask
how can the problem in which he is
the main factor be solved ?
For more than twelve years he has
been driven by a parly lash, and
made to vote and act against his
own interest, and against those
whose interests must, from the sur
rounding circumstances, be identical
with his.
&o one denies that Radical rule
has brought all the ills which have
come alike to white and black in this
section for the last twelve or fifteen
years. No one can deny that the
reign during that time was a reign
of plunder.
How can the* condition of the
South be made better? I answer:
By educating the masses: by educat
ing men to act irrespective of party
lines; by maintaining home rale;
by burying old issues, and by show
ing tho colored man that his best
friends can be fouud in the South
when he ceases to act—as he now
does without canse—against them.
Southern wealth, Southern cul
ture, Southern votes and Southern
men—native bom—most and will
rule the South. If all citizens will
recognize this fact and work for the
accomplishment of this end, a better
feeling must exist betweeu the two
races, and a better government mast
and will be established.
There are many among the colored
people who are tired of the party
lash, and who will one day make a
break.
There are only needed a few who
will be brave enough to lead, aud
teach and speak.
There mast, ere long, be a change
from the very foundation of our
National Government. It is even
now foreshadowed by the brave
fight which jnst men are making
against “bossism” in Pennsylvania
and Virginia, and by the fight that is
being made against corruption in
Ohio, New York and in the Sooth.
This change must begin in the
States. It must come in the Sonth,
and prove to all that friendly feel
ings can exist betweeu the two races.
I owe Radicalism nothing, and
with the records of the advocates of
Radicalism before me, I would lie
to my own conscience were I to vote,
write or speak to bring a return of
Radical iule in the South. Yours,
for good government,
J. C. Whittaker.

Less than three months ago a wreck
of a man staggered into a office of a
weekly paper m Eastern Michigan and
asked for money to buy whisky.
Strongly enough, the publisher was an
old schoolmate. They were boys once
together; they were apprentices in the
same town; they worked side by side
as finished compositors. One had so
briety and thrift—the other had a good
heart and an. open hand. Twenty
years made one rich and influential—the
other a drunkard who slept in the gut
ter as often as in bed. The one had
made use of what God have given him.
bnt the other had made himself a
wreck.
The meeting called up a host of re
collections, and the contrast between
their situations was so great that the
old drunkard was sobered as he realiz
ed it. He was offered work, but he
had become too broken. The stick and
the rule were no longer for him. He
was offered a temporary home, but he
looked at his rags and felt his shame
for the first time in months. When
money was handed him he waived it
back and said:
“I shall not want it, I ask, in the
name of olden days and as a fellow-
craftsman, one little Civor.”
“It shall he granted.”
“When you know that I am dead
then turn a rale for me and give a sin
gle line.”
The promise was made and then out
again on the current of life,.borne here
and there and feeling that death was
to be the end. Yesterday a copy of the
weekly reached the Free Press with
proof that the editor had fulfilled his
promise. He had turned a rule for the
poor wreck, and had given him a line:
“Died, Sept. 2S ISSi, George White.”
That was all, but in that one line
was such a sermon as no man on earth
could deliver. For every word there
was a year of woe and degradation.
For every letter there were tears aud
heartaches and promises and fail
ures.

A Tale for the Toddler..
. One clay Lacy and her brother
were going to the place where the
ice cream was kept. Lucy was trot
ting along, ho.ditigCharles’had. She
heard a strange noi6e near them.
Looking she saw two boys with a
little ecru dog. One boy hand tied a
string to the little dog’s tail, and on
the other end of the string was a
deserted'oystcr can.
“Oh, brother,” said Lucy, see what
the wicked boys arc doing.”
And then the tears filled her eyes,
because she felt sorry for the dog.
Then Charles asked the hoys to let
the dog go. They would not do
this but said they would sell him
the dog for 25 cents.
“H we buy the dog, Lucy, you
can have no ice cream, for I have
only twenty-five cents in my
pocket,” said Charles.
Then Luc}' was very sad, for she
loved ice cream dearly, still she
knew it was her duty to. prevent the
dog from suffering.
So for a moment she was silent,
and then looking np to her brother
she said in her pretty way: “You
kick iu tlie ribs ot the boys.

She was kept in the stable until a

holding the injured leg up for a day
