The Miller County M order.
The Bainbridge Democrat brings in
the particulars of the murder of Mrs
Fulford by her brutal husband and
two negroes. A more diabolical crime
has never been committed in Georgia.
We (.undeuse from the report of the
Democrat as follows: Fulford had
been married eight years. For more
than a year he was devoted to her;
but latterly he began to beat and oth
erwise mistreat her. Last June she
was taken rick and remained so up to
the day _of her murder. He would
leave her ail day without a drop of
water or a morsel of food, while Bhe
was helpless.
At the time of the mutder she was
anabie to turn herself in bed. The
brute hired two negroes to assist him,
and th y went to her room. She ask-
frightened at the escaping steam atj ed, -what are yon going to do?” For

X Shot Himself.
Ilf. Elzie Ford of Worth county, a
young unmarried-man, brother to
Hon. William'J. Ford, Representative
of Worth county, shot himself, per-
haps-fatally, Thursday night of last
week.
The particulars, as we learned them
i/Vom Mr. Brown, the mail carrier
front Warwick to Albany, are as fol
lows: Mr. Ford had been to a barbe
cue with his brother to another part
of. the county, and they retained home
aboaf sundown. Mr. Elxie Ford went
into the house, while his brother went
to the lot to attend the stock. When
upper was announced, Preston Ford
spoke to hi9 brother Elzie to come on
to supper, and went on himself in
front, supposing his brother was fol
lowing. About, the time he entered
the sapper room, he heard a pistol
■hot, and, harrying' back, found his
brother Elxie lying across the bed
with a pistol by his side and a bullet
hole in the right breast, ranging down
through his left lung. He was un-
conscioas, and all that could be gotten
out of him were the words. “I was
standing np,” which he repeated sev
eral times. It is supposed that the
shooting was accidental. At last ac
counts he was not expected to live
This will be a sad blow to the many
friends of the yonng man. The
Ford9 are a very prominent and
worthy family in Worth, and will
have the sympathy of all good peo
ple.
We received the same report while
in Albany last Friday evening there
fore we reproduce the above from the
News. Since then we have Iearued
that Elzie was standing near the bed,
holding the pistol np with one hand,
while he revolved the cylinder rapidly
with the other. It was at this junc
ture that the pistol fired, with the
result already described. Last Mon
day he was said to be improving.—

Bain.
About 2 o’clock Wednesday the city
was visited by a splendid rain. There
was no room left to complain. It was
hard euongh, and not too hard. It
lasted long enough to thoroughly wet
the ground. We announce that we
have had a splendid rain.
A heavy wind prevailed during the
storm midway between Albany and
Leesburg the same afternoon, which
completely demolished about two
miles of fencing along the Smithviile
and Albany extension. Up to the
time of going to press it was generally
supposed that much more damage
was done in Ihe neighborhood. How
much we cannot at present state.
Burglary.
Seme one entered the store of Capt.
J. G. Stephens Wednesday night, and
relieved the cash drawer of about $40
in money. A box of cigars was also
missed. Entrance was effected
through the trausom lights over the
back door. A pane of glass was re
moved and a large goods box rolled
np to the door, after which all was
easy sailing for a boy to slip through
and unbar the door, which mu9t have
been the plan of operations.
This fellow should be caught np
with if possible. It is more than
probable that Ihe same party or par
ties have committed all these burgla
ries of late. There has been several
stores burglarized within a few weeks,
and the fact that the burglar only
takes money and such things as cannot
be identified, points to the probabilily
that the same party is idoing all the
mischief.

Ban Over by a Hand Car.
Wednesday evening abont dark,
John Donelsou, colored, fell from a
hand car on the new extension of the
Brunswick and Western Railroad, jnst
across the river from the city, and,
falling in front of the car, was ran
over, the wheels pissing across his
breast, and inflicting very serious and
probably fatal injuries.
There were nine men on the car,
besides three or four barrels of rail
road tools—the men pushing with
poles, and Donelson, we learn, missed
his lick some way and fell. Dr. Ba
con attended the wounded man be
tween 9 and 10 o’clock, and found him
in a slate of collapse, bat he toon
rallied nnder the irfluence of medi
cine. The injuries seem to be inter
nal, and, although Dr. Bacon has hopes
of bis recovery, he still says he is in a
very critical condition. .
of Hany Bradly. The nrgrothen de
sisted and Fulford seized his inseusi
ble wife by the throat, sprang upon
her chest wilh his knees, and after
chocking the breath out of her, stamped
upon her body with his shoe heel.
He iheu sent for an ox cart, and while
the negroes were gone he dressed the
corpse. He then threw her into the
cart, hauled her to Ihe creek and sank
her in the deepest part.
Fulford then went to a neighbor’s
house, and was invited to dinner. He
ate dinner, after which he lay down in
the front porch. He then for the first
time mentioned that his wife was ab
sent, and that he was afraid she had
drowned herself.
The report was immediately circu
lated. The neighbors all. joined in
the search, l'ulford joining. He was
suspicioned and Kept under strict sur-
veiience. He tried to escape once,
but was brought l.ack. The body was
found, and Fulford carried to the spot.
He said he would not have her drown
ed for $5 09.
A coroner’s jury was organized, and
one ot the negro men soon made a
confession. The verdict of the jury
was lo the effect that lhe woman had
-come to her death at the hands of her
husband, Joe Fulford, Harry Bradly
and Reuben Robinson, and they were
guilty of wilful murder. The follow
ing is the particulars of the lynching
as reported by the Democrat:
‘‘At 2 o’clock A. M. Tuesday morn
ing a horseman dashed up to the jail
and, engaging the attention of the
guard, about seventy-five disgaised
men stoic softly up to the jail and
seizing the gosrd dispossessed him
of hi- gun and pi iced him under guard
Willi crow-bars and sledge-hammers
th y then forced open lhe doors and en
ter d Ihe jail. Then with the gun o:
the guard shot and instantly killed Joe
Fu'ford—lhe charge of buck-shot pass
ing entirely through his body; a pistol
ball was also sent through his bead
and he fell dead wi lion! a struggle.
They then shot Harry Bradly—once
in the head and once in the body—the
first shot entering the mouth and the
latter passing nearly through his body.
He lived a short lime only. Rcnben
Robinson was also shot in the right
side and neck with a shot-gun and pis
tol, and a man who saw him on Tues
day night said that he certainly died
that night. The negro woman, Sukie
Robinson, we learn, was discharged

was bored and the cost of boring it
paid by the tax payers of the city. It,
therefore, belongs to thi m, and sbonld
be used for their accommodation, and
not any private individual, (though he
may be a member of the City Council)
The City Council are only agents for
the time being of the city electors;
and unless they are anthorized by the
electors to grant such extraordinary
privileges, they have no right to as
sume such authority. Are the city tax
payers and citizens to be deprived of
their rights and immunities for the
convenience of private individuals,
because they are wealthy members of
the Council, or want to bore other
wells? If so, then the City Council is
an autocracy and the wealthy mem
bers thereof antocrats, the tax payers
and citizen^ ‘'hewers of wood and
drawers of water,” in other words,
slaves to their more wealthy tellow
citizens. If Capt. Hobbs needs water
to bore tis well let him go to the river
and hanl it, as the citj had to do
when it bored the well which he i«
now nsing, to the great inconvenience
of the citizens.
We would like to know also, Mr.
Editor, what right the City Council
have to loan Capt. Hobbs tho engine
and fixtures which the tax payers
paid for, or to loan to any other per--
son. Why were they not sold when
the city got done wilh them, and the
proceeds put in the cily treasury?

Albany a* Viewed Bv Oar Nelzhbon.
The editor of the Americas Recorder
has been hiking a trip through South
ern Georgi i.. He has the following to
say of Albauy:
Albany was the first place taken in
—we use the words advisedly, for
thanks to the liberal coating of dust
which we received on our way
from the depot to the Barnes House,
we couldn’t be told from the advance
agent of a minstrel troupe or the larg
est purchaser of the Brunswick &
Western. Indeed, so distinguished
was our appearance that we had not
been In town ten minutes before we
were in invited by .several gentlemen
to take a drink—of artesian water. If
artesian water is not all that is claimed
for it, if it don’t cure all the ills which
flesh is heir to, it ought to, for it
tastes as if Nature had condensed in
it all her liberal supply of medicine
—like the doctors jug into which he
poured all the remains of his various
concoctions, and to which he went
when he had a case that he could not
diagnose, saying that there were all
kinds of known medicines in the jug,
and some of them ought to hit the spot.
At any rate artesian wafer seems to
have infused new life and hope ’into
the Albanians, for they are showing a
spirit of enterprise and energy that
some of their neighbors might imitate
with profit. One of the results of the
artesian water is the building of the
new hotel with one hundred rooms
which will be opened the first of
October under the management of
Cruse Barnes, the present popular
landlord of the Barnes House. It is
intended to make it a health and win
ter resort for Northern visitors, and
in this respect will do mnch to attract
attention to Albany and its advan
tages. It already has had the effect of
increasing the price of real estate. The
opening of a free bridge across Flint
river will also add much to Albany’s
trade. The City Council has appro
priated $100 to print pamphlets des
criptive of Albany aud its artesian
fountains, for genera] circulation, and
all hands are engaged in working up
a large sized boom for the little city.
We called upon our brethem of the
News and Advertiser and iound

also met our friend, Dr. J. T. Lowry,
who is building up a lucrative prac
tice, and still retains his admiration of
Ainericus and her people. We were
also the recipient of the hospitality
of Col. N. Tift and family, with
whom we spent several pleasant
TSfl-: * - -
of
hours. Col. Tift is the founder
Albany, and it owes a great propor
tion of its growth and prosperity to
his wisdom and liberality.

The Valdasta Times brings us the
particulars of the arrest of W. L
Forest, the absconding clerk in Val
dosta. Forest was known in Albany,
and it may interest some of our read
ers to know that, after leaving Albany,
he was employed as bar clerk by Capt.
J. W. Wells, of Valdosta. He only
remained two days—just long enough
(o learn the sicrets of the cash
drawer and the combination of the
safe lock. Then he took $153, all the
money there was, and sloped. The
Chief of Police arrested him in Savan
nah, in answer to a telegram from Mr
Wells. He was brought back *o Val
dosta by the Sheriff of Lowndes coun
ty on Tuesday last, where he will an
swer the charges preferred against
him.
W. L. Forrest, who was charged
with offenses in Valdosta, mention of
which was made in the News and Ad-
vetiser Tuesday morning, was in the
city Tuesday, and called at this of
fice. We have his statement to the
effect that he is innocent of the charges,
and that the next issue of the Valdos
ta Times will contain a vindication.
Tax Payer No. 2.
Editjr News and Advertiser.
I want to thank Tax Payer for “hi-
hot blast” about the artesian water.
There are “privileges and immunities”
in this country that must be maintain
ed, and one of them is the right, unob
structed, to drink artesian water at-
daybreak in the morning. To one
who has been up “the over night,”
water at that hour is luxurious. The
idea that the city fathers can cut ofi
our supply at that particular time is
preposterous, and is done in malicious
disregard of dry tongues and “hot
coppers.” Are the coppers of this en
lightened public to be burnt out to
gratify Capt Hobbs’ enormous appe
tite for water! -Let them shut off the
supply all day long if they desire,
but this thing of depriving us of this
much needed fluid at fire in the morn
ing, when tax payers require it to cool
off on, will result in “jim jams” and
other nervous disturbances that make
flesh and blood shaky.
As Abe Lincoln would say, “Once
upon a time a gentleman just from the
water resorts North, drank out of a
clay root at five in the morning and
pronounced the water refreshing.”
He wouldn’t have drank this water at
any other time, hence you see that the
time in which we drink wa’er adds to
its relish; therefore you will see again
that the argument of my fellow tax
payer is conclusive, to-wit: That the,
water should rot be shut off until 5
o’clock in the-morning. After then
other resorts open where fluids can be
obtained on which to brace up. Sup
pose Capt.xHobb9 is paying about
twelve hundred dollars to bore his
well, (after the city has loaned him
the engine and pump), and in
tends to put a by rant ou the side
walk in front of his house for the
public use, does that give him any
right to do so? H%s he any moral
right to furnish the people in his pan
of the town with artesian water when
there are other parts that need it?
Are the people in his end of the city
so slavish to his millions of money
and property *hat they will permit
him, in this enlightened nineteenth
ceutury, and in glorious free America,
at that—I say, will the people at his
end of the town allow him to compel
them to drink artesian water after 5
o’clock in the morning? Great Ameri
can eagle forbid it. That man who
will c'rink artesian water, except be
tween the hours of 10 at night and 5
in the morning ought to be disfran
chised and shoved from under the pro
tecting wing of the Fourth of July
fowl.
Now, as to this bloated, bondholding
City Council. Have they determined
to be tyrants and'oppressors of the
people? nave they any right to pre
vent us from drinking water between
10 o'clock at night and 5 ill the morn
ing? Haven’t we the right to take our
last drink of water at 10 and our first
morning’s drink at 5? If they desire
to sit np in the day [time and drink
water they should be permitted so to
do, but I feel sorry for any such a
body. They should avail themselves
lhe blessed privilege of sitting up at
night and drinki? g themselves lo glory
on artesian water from 10 ’till 5.
Now, Messrs. Editors, when we tax
payers “shuffle off this mortal coil*’
may it be between the hours of 10 and
5, and oar last words shall be arte
sian water! water!!
Tax Payer No. 2.
Letter From Tbomaevllle.
“Thomasvillk, Ga., August 16, 1883.
yews and A dvertiser:
According to my promise, I made
inquiries here to-day about the pros
pects of rebuilding the Mitchell House.
The people are determined to have
another hotel, but are fearful that II
will not be such as the greatly and
justly celebrated one, the majestic
ruins of which tell of its former mag
nitude and splendor. It was a well
advertised aud very extensively known
house, anl doubtless many half-frozen
tongues-havc spoken of it that did not
even know its particular location.
The debris is being removed aud the
mortar beaten from the bricks prepar
atory to erecting two-story store
houses on the old site. I thought I
discovered a touch of sadness in a
Thomasvillian’s voice when he gave
me the information that *he rubbish
was being hauled away to make room
for stores. The people loved the
Mitchell Honse; it was their pet and
they were justly proud of its grand
proportions and metropolitan aspect
and arrangements. It was a structure
that would have commanded atten
tion not only in plucky little Thomas-
ville, but in any city in Georgia. Its
broken walls, standing in outline
•gainst the sky, remind one of the pic
tures of ruins to be seen from the
Rhine. I think it safe to assert that
Mr. Mitchell will not rebuild, and
that there will not be another erected
on such a grand plan.
But the people here are enterpris
ing as well as energetic, and will
build a fine hotel with or without the
assistance of Mr. Mitchell. A charter
has been obtained and a stock compa
ny formed, and $20,000 has been
subscribed. A president and board
of directors have been elected and in
structed to proceed to work. I am
told that men have charge of the mat
ter who meab business, that no trou
ble will be spared, and that more
money will be subscribed if found
necessary to complete the enterprise.
A site has been selected and obtained
about four blocks from the ruins, at
the lower end ot Broad street It is a
beautful pine grove, near the Baptist
church, aud is known as “Yankee
Paradise.” I suppose it is so called
because the Northern visitors used it
generally in their most romantic and
'spoony” mood. The contemplated
hotel will be constructed of wood,
with modern improvements and con
tain from seventy-five to one hundred
rooms.
I would like to write you a less
hurried and more readable letter, and
tell many llrngs that would interest
yonr:*cader8 considerably more than
the information you desired, but Capt
Hobbs has just come in on the freight,
and desires me to go “up town” with
him to “seo a man*’—says the ride
has been a dusty one.
Before I mail this I would like to
ask a question: Are people opposed,
upon general principles, to talking to
newspaper men? I could get all the
information 1 desired until I said I
was getting it for you, aud then .those
I were talking to would shut up tight
as an oyster. W. T. Jones,

Dousbertr County Legislation
M C. A. N.” in Telegraph and Messenger.
In your report of the afternoon ses
sion of the House Thursday the bill
introduced by Mr. McIntosh, ro regu
late fences in west Dongberty. was
made to read “to regulate fines,’’ etc.
As the bill is an important one in that
section of the State, has passed the
House and will pass the Senate, I am
requested to moke the correction. The
measure is entitled, “A bill to regulate
fences in all that part of Doughertv
county lying west of the Flint river.”
The bill abolishes fences or com
pels the owners of stock to keep the
same confined to lands owned or con
trolled by them. It also embraces
those sections ox the code which ap
ply to counties or districts adopting
the stock law, regulating pasturage,
impounding, etc. Line fences are to°bc
provided by the citizens of West
Dougherty without expense to the
balance of the county.
Whiie the negroes of that section of
the country are opposed to the change,
as their class is opposed to the stock
law all over the State, the white citi
zens are unanimously and emphatical
ly in favor of it; and Mr. McIntosh has
just put it through under difficulties
wbicn would ordinarily crush a local
bill. I understand, when the bill was
first introduced, the representatives
from all the adjoining counties were
opposed to its passage, but the mem
ber from Dougherty, who is always
earnest and influential in lxis advocacj’
of anj* measure, has succeded in con
verting them.
