Baker County Crops.

in the city Friday of last week, and

of his county,

to tbe/Agrlciiftural Department. Com
is estimated at 70 per cent, of a full
crop; cotton 33; potatoes 50; cane 60;
peas 80.
Mr. Odum thinks these estimates
are very fair, and that the final results
will prove their accuracy. It is a
gloomy prospect for the farmer, and
gloomy for the whole country, and all
indnstries. In view of this state of
affairs, we again call on oar farmer
friends to practice economy, save
everything and make the best of it.

Poisoning by canned goods happen
ing occasionally, people should take
precautions against such, accidents.
The contents of cans should be emptied
into some receptacle immediately after
the cans are opened. While they are
sealed corrosion does not set in, but as
soon as they are exposed to the action
of the atmosphere corrosion sets in and
progresses rapidly, rendering the food
unsafe in a short while.
Lost Faith In Physicians.
Why is it that so ma*hy persons use
proprietary medicines, or patent medi
cines, as they are commonly called?
Is it because people lose frith in their
physicians Well, this, no doubt, fre
quently the case. There are innumer
able instances where cares have been
effected by Bosadalis, the Great
Southern Remedy for all diseases of
the blood, when they had been given
over by their bhysicians It is one of
the best remedies ever offered to the
public, miyl as it is prepared with the
gretest care, as a specific for certain
diseases, it is no wonder that it should
be more effectual than hastily written
and carelessly prepared prescriptions
made by incampetant physicians.

well as by eminant physicians and

Another Bottle Pops.
Messrs. Wise and Benson, of the
Brunswick & Western R’y, had an ad
venture Monday night with artesian
water. Mr. Benson is drinking the
witter for an affection, and is improv
ing very fast. Moiiday night, as usual,
these gentlemen visited the well in
company, and filled their bottles.
Returning to their room and setting
them on the table, they were prepar
ing tj retire when one of the bottles
exploded with a loud noise, shivering
it to pieces. The bottie was a thick
soda water bottle, with a patent rub

Duck-Tailed.
A good lady in Albany raises-a
great many ducks. The other day
*he noticed that all of them were bob-
tailed except two or lhree fat young
drakes. She could not account for it
until yesterday morning, when a he
made a discovery. The aforesaid
drakes were eating off ihe tails of the
other.*—w’ulked behind and snatched
out feathers by the mouthful and
swallowed them. They seemed to
enjoy the repast as well a.* the “quack,
quack,” that followed each grab. The
lady expects this thing to go on ’till
there are no feathers left, when they
will begin on the meat—eat each olhei
up until there is only one duck left,
wlieo she will have all concentrated
in one—th»*y will all be (luck-tailed
into one.

Explanatory.
Tax Payer and Tax Taycr No. 2,
after finding oat each other, learned
that there were about to be unkind
feelings engendered between friends.
Tax Payer did not know at the time
be wrote his last communication who
Tax Payer No. 2 was, and stated to ns,
at the time he handed in his article,
that if there was anything in it calcu
lated to hurt feelings be desired it
erased. We did not notice the letter
as closely as we should, and published
it without observing that it could be
construed into a personal affair. The
two gentleuen writing are personal
friends, and Tax Payer states that he
never* intended to intimate any im
proper conduct on the part of Tax
Payer No. 2 ip any official capacity,
bat thought he was in a controversy
with an entirely different ii.dividnal.
Tne ‘Leesburg Juveniles” came
down Thursday to play a game with
th$ “Stars*’ of Albany. The young
gentlemen were received, and dined
at Kemp & Mock’s.
At the hour appointed both nines
appeared on the field, and the game
was called with the Stars at the bat.
When the game was ended, the score
stood: Stars, 45, Juveniles, 13.
The Leesburg young gentleman
took their defeat gracefully and liKe
men. After the game, the whole party
adjourned to Kemp & Mock's and
partook of ice cream. It was an
eventful day to the boys, and all en
joyed the occasion.
The Juveniles perhaps can make a
better showing on their own stamping
ground, and the Stars should give
them another showing.
Fixing to Flsbt Fire.
The recent fire in Thomasville has
aroused the authorities to the impor
tance of supplying the city with a
steamer. The city council last Tues
day closed a contract with Mr. Bus
sey, Southern Agent of the Silsbj
Manufacturing Company, Seneca
Falls, N. Y. for a No. 4 Silsby
Steamer. The Steamer can throw
four good streams at the same time.
With the steamer comes a handsome
hose carriage, 500 feet of the very
best hose and all necessary attach
ments to the steamer. The price paid
is $4^250; one-third cash, balance in
one and two years, payable the third
day of December, with interest at 7
per cent. The new steamer will be
there within sixty days. A crack
company has been organized and will
be ready to receive the new guardian
of the city’s property.

THE COTTON MEN 13 COUNCIL.
At a meeting of the Albany cotton
men Tuesday, at the office of Messrs,
Wight & Callaway, Capt. T. N. Wool-
folk was elected Chairman, and Mr.
S. D. Irvin Secretary.
The object of the meeting was stat
ed to be that of securing concert of
action looking to a reduction of in
surance on cotton.
Upon molten of Mr. J. D. Cheves,
Capt E. L. Wight aud Mr. S. D. Irvin
were appointed a committee to draft
a suitable mo’rial and resolutions to
be forwarded to the representative of
Dougherty county, aod by him pre
sented to the Legislature.*
The favorite plan seems to be the
| repeal of the State law requiring a de-
| posit by insurance companies of
i $25,000 before they can do business in
the State. This law, it is claimed,
keeps out competing companies, thus
wiving a few the opportunity of pool
ing. It is thought that a repeal of
this law will let in foreign companies,
and competition would reduce the rate*
At tho adjourned m- etirg of the
cotto.i men held Wednesday aiternoon,
the following memorial, prepared by
(he special committee, was unanimous
ly adopted, signed by all 'lie factors
and buyers in the city, and the Secre
tary directed to forward same to onr
Representative, and to furnish an
account of ihe proceedings of the
meeting to the News and Advertis
er :
A MEMORIAL TO THE LEGISLATURE IN
REFERENCE TO THE INSURANCE QUES
TION.
Whereas—The insurance compa
nies d«*ing business in this State have
so increased their rates on cotton and
have placed so many requirements
and restrict ions in l heir policies, as to
make insurance on cotton not only a
very great burden of expense, but
very uncertain under the mere “aver
age cfaiUe inserted in such’’ policies—
it becomes necessary for cotton men
to *eek some relief from such onerous
an 1 unjiist exaction. Therefore be it
Resolved By »he warehousemen and
cotton buyers of Albany, 1st, that
our. immediate Representative, Hon.
H. M. McIntosh, be requested to pre
sent thi*, our memorial, to the Legis
lature, nnl urge the passage oi
-uch measures as will better regulate
the insurance busines* of the State,
and afford to busiae s men due pro
tection from such unfair and oppres
sive combinations as are possible un
der existing laws.
Resolved 2d We especially reco m-
mend the repeal of the law requiring
a deposit of $25,000 from insurance
companies doing business in this State,
for the reason tha: the amount is only
Urge enough t« keep many companies
out of the State, and bus lessen com
petition, and is too small to be a guar
antee to policy holders agtinst loss.
Resolved Sd. We al*o recommend
the creation of a Board of Insurance
Couiniiss oners, which sh dl bear the
same relation o the insurance com
panies as the preseut R tilroad Com
mission does to the railroad*, thus
checking and preventing the combina
tions complained of.

An Old Problem Solved.
Gully Branch, Ga.. Aug. 23, ’83.
News and Advertiser:
A sum appeared in your paper some
thing like the following: Three men
were concerned in a bale of cotton.
One was to get one-third, another one-
fourth and another one-fifth. The
cotton brought $60.00. What was
each man’s share?
We will fir3t add the three fractions
together to see what all of them will
get. The whole amount will be 47.60.
Then if 47.60 is equal to 60, 1-60 is
equal 1-47 and 60.60 would be equal
to 60 times as much or 60.47. Then
since the first gets one-third of the
amount it is evident that he would
get one-third of 60.47 or 20.47; the
second one-fourth of 60.47 equals 15 47
and the third one-fifth of 60.17 equal
12.47. Then since the first received
20.47 of the money it is evident that
he receives 20.47 of 60.1 equal 25 25.47;
the second, 15.47 of 60.1 equal 19 7.47
and the third 12.47 of 60.1 equal 15
15.47. Adding these amounts together
we have $60.00, the price received for
the cotton.
This can be proved by finding the
proportional parts, thus: to ^ is
as 4 is to 3. Divide the first man’s
part by his proportional number, 4,
which leaves 6 18.47. Multiply this
by 3; the proportional number of the
second man’s part, which makes 19
7:47. Again, take the proportions,
one-fourth and one-fifth, proportion
ally it would be as 5 is to 4. As the
second man gets 19 7.47, divide this by
5, the second man’s proportionate num
ber, which leaves 3 39.47. Multiply
this by 4, the third man’s number,
we have 15 15.47. Thus the sum has
been worked and proven.
Respectfully,
Oscar B. Cliett.
Primus Jones, the first bule man,
was in the office of ihe News and Ad
vertiser Monday, and delivered
himself of some crop news. Said Mr.
J ones, “This is the gloomiest year for
the farmer I have witnessed since, the
war, and I have seen some bad ones.
The dronth struck my cotton twice
this year, besides the injury done by
the caterpillar. I have seen cotton in
my county" that will not make a bale
to twenty acres; I have also seen a
few acre* of the very early planting
that will make a bale to the Mere. I
think the average will be about a bale
to six acres.”
“Will you contend for the first bale
next year, Mr. Jones?’ asked the
Nzws and Advertiser.
“No, sir. I am done with it now.
have brought in the first bale for fif
teen years since the war. Of course,
I have missed some years, but count
ing all, I have come in fifteen years, and
I am now satisfied. It is a great deal
of trouble; and besides, I propose to
change my system another year. 1 in
tend to go into stock raising extensive
ly—especially mules and horses.
I intend to sow down 300 teres in
grain, take oat the stamps, have pas
turage and raise colts. It costs about
as much to raise a yearling as a colt in
this country, and the colt is worth five
times as much as the yearling. I shall
plant some cotton, but not so exten
sively as heretofore.’’
“Do you employ an overseer, Mr.
Jones?”
“None. sir. I ring my own beil in
the morring, and go with my hands all
day. I have only been to Albany
twice this year, and to Newton three
times. I stay right at my bnsiness.’*
“Do you think stock raising will
pay
9”
“I do. At least I am going to try
it. I shall make a tittle .cotton, hesp
of corn and oats, and raise droves of
colts. Good bye, I must start home,”
and he was gone.
Tax Payer Again.
Cincinnati, O., August 27, 1883.
News and Advertiser:
This evening a copy of your paper
of the 23rd inst met me on my return
to the hotel. I was indeed glad to
see it, so fur away from home; glad to
see it, because it was laden with tid
ings of our tittle city, and its people.
Its columns, too, tells me that “A
Tax Payer” has been thirsty in my ab
sence, and has sought the use of your
columns for the purpose of venting his
spleen.
It would have been well for this
great “Tax Payer” to have come out
under his own proper name, when we
could have read the grand old name oi
Uncle Barrel Kemp, of Albany, and
Waco, Texas; and in doing so would
have understood the animus which
caused him to get somebody to indite
hissiliv piece of bombast—bomba.'i
borrowed from the scum of commun
ism—which pervades its every line.
Our precious Uncle runs what is
known as the “Sans Souci Bar’’ of Al
bany. and is always on the alert to
line its treasury with the contributions
of the rich and poor alike. I presume
at an early hour this “grand bar” was
deprived of water which the tax pay
ers of Albany supply it with, free of
cost, hence the bile of our dear old
Uncle.
Bat as be asks, with seeming inno
cence, why the water was “shut off,”
I will answerfor his benefit: That the
Ciiy Council of last year, under show
ers of damns and curses from tax
payers who cared not whether Al
bany prospered or not, so long as
their pockets were not touched with
zeal, and nerve, which will be forgot
ten when Albany shall be no more,
and its future shall have passed into
eternity, this Council had our first
well bored, and then its treasury de
pleted. The machinery used in boring
the well was offered to the citizens
with the nse of the water to bore other
wells. Under lhat offer of Conncil,
several citizens, myself among the
number, contracted for wells. Mr.
Kemp is not among the number. He
makes his money in Albany, curses
her and her people, and invests his
grins in Texas. Yet he is a tax payer,
and can, bear-like, growl because he
cannot, at all hoars day and night,
have the use of the city water.
Is Burrell Kemp and his bar of
greater moment to the fntnre welfare
of Albany than that there should be
free flowing wells on every street of
our beautiful city? Perish his bar
room! but let us, as we are trying to
do, have welta all over the town.
Mr. Kemp’s miserable fling, in
which he insinuates that private citi
zens weie permitted to use the water
by the Council, ot which 1 am a mem
ber, is another evidence of the man’s
petty malice. I was not a member of
the Council of last year. The con
tracts to bore the wells were all made
last year, and this Mr. Kemp and bis
amanuenses very well knew.
But I have said enough, not really
in reply to “Tax Payer’s” piece of
balderd&sn, but to the people at home,
who may have been misled by the
specious reasoning of “Tax Payer*’
Mr. Jackson, who » boring that well,
ases as lfttle of the water as possible,
a.id the people in its neighborhood
feel that they have jnstas much right
to nse some of it as Mr. Kemp, even
if he is a tax payer in Albany, and
Texas, too.
Please excuse the space I have taken
op in yonr columns. Hope to be able
to start home in a day or two.
Very respectfully,
R. Hobbs.

Bismarck (Dakota) Tribune, July 17.
Lt. Josiab Chance of the 17th Re
giment Infantry. U. S. Army, at the
close of the late war, having served
entirely through it, was commissioned
in the regnlar service. Eleven years
ago he was stationed at Bismarck, and
here he has been ever since. Under
bis superintendence Camp Hancock
was bnilt, and the present Fort Lin
coln. He shook hands with the gal
lant Custer when he left to march to
death, and one of the first tears to fall
over bis sad fate fell from Lieut.
Chance. At present he is at Lincoln,
and no office r at the fort is held in
better esteem than be. He drew
$30,000 in the July drawing of The
Louisiana State l»ttery, at a cost of
$2. Every Bismarcker knows him,
and the Tribune heard but one ex
pression: “Good! It conldn’t have
fallen to a better man.’’ He says he
will invest it in Dakota dirt, and will
remain in the service. Throngh the
Bismarck Nat. Bank he drew on New
Orleans for his $30,000. Lieut. Chance
held two-fifths of ticket No. 37,348.
The ticket drew the capital prize of
$75,000.

A Doable morder.
A horrible tale of a double murder
comes to .us from Ruckertsville, a
suburb of Savannah. A German and
bis wife kept a store there. On Sun
day morning their bodies were tonnd
butchered in the most cold-blooded
manner. The couple had been mar
ried only about nine or ten months,
and by their industry and frugality
had established a good business.
The following is taken from the
Savannah News, and will convey an
idea of the fiendishness of the marder:
“On entering the store, the body of
the murdered man was found
lying on the floor, in a pool of blood,
in front of lhe t counter. His skull was
crushed in and a long deep gash ex
tended across the back of his head.
Uis throat bore the marks of fingers.
Across his eyes and around his head a
handkerchief was closely tied, com
pletely blindfolding him. From all
appearances he was in the act of draw
ing a measure of syrup from a barrel,
and while stooping down was struck
the fatal blow. He fell on his back,
where he lay until discovered yester
day morning.
In the parlor, adjoining the store,
lay the corpse of the dead man’s
wife—soon to become a mother—pre
seating a sickening spectacle as she
reclined on a sofa, saturated with
blood from her young life. Her
body bore marks of the mosf horrible
and brutal treatment. T ie ' deep
gashes on the face extended from
both sides of the temple to the chin,
while her skull was cut open and the
brain exuded. Her left ai m was near
ly severed from the body, probably
thrown up to defend herself against
her assailant. She wore a loose calico
wrapper, and was apparently about
to retire, waiting no doubt for her hus
band. The sight of husband and
wife was one not soon to be forgotten
as they lay in their home slaughtered
by fiends in human shape.
The ninrdered man was about thir
ty eight years old and was a native of
Germany. He came to this country
about six years ago, first going to
Chattanooga, where he remained
about a year, when he came to Sa
vannah, and obtained a sitnation as
barkeeper with Mr. Ch*irles Seller.
He was afterwards employed in a
similar capacity with George Gemini-
den and A. Basler. By frugal habits
and strict economy be managed to
save up a lit le mon-y. and about
twelve months ago bought out the
slon; he owned at the time of his
death.”
Tw5 parties have been arrested on
suspicion—both negroes—and lodged
in jail to await for farther develop
ments.
Advance Step In Dentistry*
Havana, Cuba.—The most popular

Tbe Carve Ball.
Florida Herald.
Under tbe new method in base ball
many players have bacome adept in
pitching what is styled the “curve”
ball, delivering the ball toward the
batter at what be regards as the de
sired heigh*, but which, when nearing
the home plaie, through the power of
a curve or twist given it by the pitch
er, either drops or goes up or out
from the plate, puzzling the batsman,
and often preventing him from biting
the ball at all. Mr. Robert J. Hous
ton made an offer of $10 to any person
who wonld accomplish a te-t experi
ment which he wonld give him. The
challenge was accepted by Hoffer,
the Ironsides pitcher, a..d Mr. Hous
ton, accompauitjd by a number of
friends, and Messrs. Hensel, of the
Intelligencer, Pyott and Allen A.
Harr as jndges, repaired on Friday af
ternoon to the rear of LancHSter cem
etery to have tbe vexed question set
tle<<. The test prescribed was to
pitch a ball on tbe opposite sides cf
three posts placed in a straight line,
the one 25 feet from the first and the
other 22)4 feet from the second; in
other words, to pitch the b<*ll on the
left side of the firxf, right side of the
second, and left side of the third, de
scribing a snake-like action and prov
ing the existence of the curve. For a
number of attempts Hofford failed to
get the ball to curve from the second
post to tbe proper side of .the third,
the ball frequently striking the sec
ond post. Finally he got it round to
hit the third post, and with a few more
efforts .accomplished the task to the
satisfaction of everybody present, Mr.
Houston promptly handing over the
reward.
