Another Cotton Compress for Al
bany.
By reference to our advertising col-
iunn-].it will be seen that notice is
given that application will be made to
the Superior Court of Dougherty coun
ty for a charter for the Albany Com
press Company, and that we are to
hive''Another cotton compress in oper
ation in tliis city by the opening of the
next cotton season. The enterprise is
backed up by ample capital, and will
no doubt be the means of largely in
creasing tlie cotton receipts of this
city.
Iu a Savannah social to the Macon
Telegraph of Sunday we fliid the fol
lowing:
The Tybee cotton press lias been sold
to New York parties, and will be re
moved to Albany in a few weeks. One
of the Central presses is also being
taken clown and will be moved to
Macon.
Taking this in* connection with the
citation which is published in the
News and Advektl-ek tliis morning,
it is presumed that the gentlemen com
posing the Albany CompressCompany
are the purchasers of the Tybee Com
press, and that this is the press that
they are to put Into operation here.
Good-enough!
Mr. A. W. Mitchell, better known
as Bub Mitchell, a railroad engineer
well known in Albany and all along
the line of the Southwestern railroad,
was killed iu an accident on the Co
lumbus division, on Friday. It will be
remembered that Mr. Mitchell, some
time last year, met with a serious ac
cident btween this city and Macon.
One night ids engine struck a rail that
some fiend had placed across the
track, and the rail in some way was
thrown into the cab with terrific vio
lence, striking him on the bead. He
was so badly injured that it was
thought that to live was a mutter of
impossibility. For several days his
death was looked for at any moment,
but to everybody’s surprise he lived,
but the injury left him with only one
eye and a frightful scar 011 the head
and face. From the Macon Telegraph
of yesterday we learn that when he
bad so far recovered that he could get
about, he was given a conductor’s
place 011 the Columbus line, which he
held up to the time of his death. He
leaves a wife and two children.
A drive to Hardaway, Wednesday,
g ive a News and Advertiser man
an opporuuity to confirm the reports
of good crops throughout the county.
All along the road cotton and corn
crops are good; especially the cotton,
which, though small, is very clean ot
grass aud remarkably full of forms.
Mr. F. F. Putney, whose generous
hospitality we shared at Ids elegant
country seat, has a magnificent crop
of com and cotton for this season ot
the year. But Mr. Putney is one of
those pushing meu of sound judgment
that always does well. He Is one that
has realized the promise of God that
“white the earth lemaiuetli seedtime
and harvest shall not cease.”
The besgvers on the Kinchafoonee
and Muckalee are proving very de
structive to the com planted along the
banks of those streams. They cut the
stalks down within three or four inces
of the ground and drag them into the
creeks. Fishermen report that they
see the green corn stalks all along the
banks of the creeks. From one field,
on Mr. W. H. Newsom’s place, these
pestiferous rodents have cut so many
stalks that one can stand In one place
and count dozens of the stubbles.
Mr. J. B. Norman acd his sou, J. T.
Norman, of Colquitt county, were in
the city last week. They brough
in about 4,000 pounds of wool and
eight bales of cotton saved over from
last season. Tbey sold their wool at
28? 4 cent®, and were paid 10*£ ceuts
for their cotton. It Is not hard to un
derstand iiow such fanners as they
make money in any season. They re
cently sold 7,000 pouudsof wool in tliis
marker. _
The race track at the Fair Grounds
has been put in good condition, and
those owuiug fast horses in the city are
wont to try their mettle on favorable
afternoons. A News and Adver
tiser man passed the grounds, on
Monday afternoon. and saw quite a
number speeding their horses. Al
bany h is several promising colts, and
it is possible that some may: develop
into racers.
Mr. G. T. West, one of the substan-
tiatyartuers of Baker comity, was in the
News and Advertiser office Wedner
day. He said that he had just rid

l*a>l Friday was a gala day ju the cir
cles of colored Masonry In Alban}*.
King Solomon’s Lodge of Albany pr
pared a programme for a fitting cele
bration of the Feast of St. John, the
Patron Saintof Masonry, ami extended
invitations to lodges of neighboring
cities, which were accepted by tlie St.
John’s Lodge, No. 7, of A in eric us,
and St. I dike’s Lodge, No. 26, of Ca
milla.
The Albany lodge .ml their vi-iting
brethren formed at the hall of King
Solomon’s Lodge, and, preceded by
a brass band from Cuthbert, paraded
thtough Broad street and filed down
Washington to the colored Methodiyt
church, where the programme arrang
ed for the occasion was carried out.
GjjuhI Warden F. W. McArthy, of
King Solomon’s Lodge arose, and in
behalf of bis Lodge, extended a warm
welcome to the visitors. His speech
was a graceful tribute to the purity of
the principles of Free and Accepted
Masonary.
The welcoming speech being deliver
ed, Past Grand Master and Grand
Secretary J. H. DeVaugh, of Savan
nah, was introduced. This speech was
replete with lies tone Information of
tiie origin and progress ol Masouary
which was traced like a bright line
through tlie history of all civilized
lands. The style of the oration was
chaste and lucid.
Au essay by Janie T. Lee con
cluded the literary exercies of tbe
afternoon. Of tliis essay we can say
nothing, as we did not have au eppor-
tuuity of heariug it.
. Th* celebration was concluded by a
grand banquet at the hall of King Sol
omon’s Lodge, on Friday night.
Remarkable Indian Belie*.
The attention ot Mr. Walter Strum,
superintendent on Mr. F. F. Putney’s
place at Hardaway, Ga., was attracted
some days siuce to two remarkable
stones turned over by the plow iu the
watermelon patch. He picked them
up and discovered them to be two re
markable relics of tlie occupation of
the aborigines of this sectiou. They
were long skillfully made spear heads
of the most wonderful workmanship,
considering tlie rude implements ot
the Indians, that we have ever seen.
Nothing iu Siuitlisouian Institute sur
passes them in interest to the antiqua
rian or anthropologist.
One of the spear heads is 12 inches
long, 2/4 inches wide and. at Its cen
ter, a half inch thick, reduced as a
Roman short sword to two sharp
edge*. Tiie other is only 10 inches
long, but in oilier resjiects similar In
shajH; aud size to tlie short swords of
the Romans.
Considering the facilities the Indian*
possessed for foshiouing such formida
ble weapons they are wonderfully
made, aud must represent months and
perhaps years of tedious labor, and
were, doubtless, of priceless value to
their possessor.
The flint rock, of which they are
made, abounds on tlie banks of our
river, from which fact tlie white man
has rechristeued tlie Indian Throua-
teeska Uie Flint. There are many
evidences that on its banks in this sec
tion were located the Indian work
shop in which tiie weapons of war
fare as well as their Implements
for domestic uses were fashioned.
Rudely-slmped—spoiled in the making
—aud perfectly made arrow aud spear
heads are still to be found along the
trauks of the Flint, and the innumera
ble chips of the hard flint rock indi
cate plainly their origiu.
The Indians used the large spear
heads either for offensive oj>erations
against their enemies, or in tbe chose,
aud also for domestic purposes in cut
ting meats.
As was the custom with the Indians
the deft hand that fasnioned aud tbe
strung arm that wielded these spear
heads must have been burled with
them, and it U uot improbable that
the bones of some warrior, famous iu
ids day and generation, lie moulder
ing iu the earth uear where tbey were
found.
These interesting relics may be seen
at the book store of Messrs. Welch A
Agai, where they have been placed on
exhibition.
Tbe Block Law Uoei Into Effect,
The stock laiv for all that part of
Dougherty county west of Fliut river
became operative on the 24th inst.,
tlie “six months after the passage of this
act” clause haring expired. The bill
w hs signed by the Governor on the
24th day of December last, and the six
months time given the people in
which to prepare for its enforcement
expired on last Friday.
So far as tlie News and Advertiser
has heard, no oue appears to be offer
ing anv resistance to the law, though
a few cows were seen on tlie streets
last week. Their owners probably
turned them out more through over
sight than through any spirit of re
sistance to tlie law. If tlie law should
be resisted by any one a test rase will
soon be made in the courts.
Almoai a Fire.
On Monday night, at about 11
o’clock, Mr. Sam Kendall was roused
from iii-* early slumbers by tbe glare
of a bright blaze in his room. Startl
ed, lie cried fire with a good will xnd
strong voice. Mrs. Kendall rushed up
stairs with a pitcher of water and soon
extinguished the flames before the
neighbors rnshed iu to the rescue.
The lamp had exploded, and its shat
tered remains lay spread over tbe floor.
No damage other than the loss of the
lamp.
Quarterly Conference.
The News and Advertiser is re
quested to announce that the Quarter
ly Conference of the Methodist Church
for the Albany charge, will be held at
Wesley Chapel. East Dougherty, on
the th^rd Saturday and Sunday of July,
instead ot the second, as heretofore
announced. This ebauge has been
made on account of the regular annual
meeting of tbe Baptist Church at Pine
Bluff, which occurs on the second Sat
urday.
C*pt. R. Hobbs enjoys tlie distinc
tion of having eaten the largest bream,
or a part thereof, ever known to have
been taken from tbe waters of this sec
tion. The bream in question mas of
the blue variety, and acconllngtoCapt.
Hobbs, after being cooked covered a
dish eight inches wide and ten long.
It was taken from the waters of tbe
blue spring, and must have been the
grnndaddy of all the blue bream of
these waters.
The Smith ville News tells this good
om*: “ A Smith ville colored man went
fishing the other day aud caught a
cooler. Iu trying to get the book out
of its mouth the cooler caught his fin
ger; whereupon he sat him calmly
down, observing that 4 he would bars
to wait until it thundered before tbe
cooler would let go.* But he got
tired waiting, and finally succeeded
in getting bis finger free.”
Nothing is being done towards the
obsri vance of the Fourth of July In
Albany. Tbe big cities of the State
and tlie railroads centering in them
a lway- monopolize the attention of tiie
rustics with grand programmes and
excursions. Albany, however, might
have amusements of some character.
Captain Hobbs Is ferule in plans, and 1
we nominate him generalisimo of the

Alderman Hobbs brought up the
question of extendiug tlie city limits.
A brief discussion ot the subject re
sulted hi tbe appointment of a commit
tee, consisting of Aldermen Stephens,
Hobbs and Sterne, to look into the
matter and report -t tlie next meeting
of Council.
The Mayor stated that be had, In
pursuance of resolution of Council,
borrowed $3,000 for tiie city at 8 |ier
cent, interest. Over half of this
amount had already been absorbed in
paying off salaries and accounts
due. The amount still 011 hand would
be barely sufficient to pay salaries fall
ing due on the first of next month It
the bills audited at this meeting of
Council were pa : d now. In order not
to have to borrow more money, he
suggested that the payment of all bills
except those of regular employees ol
the city who are dependent upou their
salaries, be deferred. Iu accordance
with this suggestion tlie Treasurer
was instructed to pay out 110 more
money for tbe present, except on reg
ular salaries. Tlie Clerk was instruct
ed to Issue warrants, however, for all
bills approved by Council.

CHIT-CHAT.
Batb Had an Eye to Baalaetw*
It will perhaps do no harm, now
that the season of seriousness has
passed, to relate an amusing incident
connected with or growing out of tiie
recent religious revival In this city.
Indeed, it may do good, for it is a true
story, aud perhaps there are some who
may read a useful lesson between the
Hues of It.
When the big meeting was at Its
height a certain clerk of the city who,
from a religious standpoint has always
been regarded as a sort of hard case,
attended tbe service one nigbt and
stood up for prayer wheu tlie invita
tion to sinners poor and ueedy was ex
tended.
The next morning the clerk was
called aside by his employer, a worthy
specimen of the “CbosenP eople”—
“Veil, Dorse, I done heard apoud
you goes oup at tier pig schu’ch meet-
ink lasd uighd uud gets brayed for.
Now, Dorse, mine friend, I like* dot.
I knows all aboud your badness; you
koow I knows all aboud you uud der
tings bad votyou do; but I like* you;
1 likes you m:*re as putty veil, uud 1

You go abet un* gets you some religion
ttu’ loins der sebu’eb uu’ kvit all your
badness vot you do, un* I raise your
rages ten dollar de moot.”
The clerk looked serious for an In-
staut, and the new missionary thought
be had him, until the serious look gave
way to a wide-awake, business-like air,
and the reply came—
“Tell you what I’ll do, Mr. Kelve;
you make It fifteen, and d—d if 1

It is hardly necessary to state that

Cblckeai Lice nod Miles*
A writer In the Louisville Courier-
Journal says that when a hen is set,
her feathers should be Ailed with in
sect powder to destroy lice. While
shu :s Inactive on the nest lice breed
rapidly, as she does not rid herself of
them by scratching in tiie dirt, as she
will at other times. It is tlie lice
rather than confinement that makes
siuing hens grow poor so rapidly.
Sometimes they will even kill tiie hen
on tbe nest; or, If they don’t they will
be ready to attack aud kill the chicks
as soon as out of the shell. Kill the
lice while the hen is sitting. No better
time can be desired, as If then freed
from them, she will not soon get them
on her again by ruuning with other
poultry.
Tbe Theimomeier iu Albaay.
Considerable discussion has been in
dulged In this city receutiy over the
height to which tbe thermometer rises
here. The immediate cause was the
different degrees indicated by ther
mometers variously located on Sunday,
June lllih. The heat was imen.-e, and
there is uo question but that it was
much hotter titan we usually experi
ence in this latitude. It was reported
that the thermometer indicated 102 de
grees.
Mr. L. E. Welch, who for a number
of years kept a record of the tem
perature, says that he has never
known it to rise over 100 but two or
three times, and that 96 is the degree
reached in the hottest weather.
Compared with other cities on the
same isothermal line with Albany, our
temperature is more equable, never
rising so high or falling so low. Tbe
location of Albany Is favorable to the
best conditions to an insurance of tem
perate weather both in winter and
summer. Tbe^trade winds, laden in
summer with the humidity from' the
Gulf, influence and moderate tbe tem
perature, while iu winter they act as a
counteractant on tire blizzaids that
sweep down from the ice fields of the
Northern climes.
In Atlanta, Macon and cities North
tlie thermometer on any general hot
day will indicate seveial degrees high
er than iu Albany.
Blessed are tiie Albanians, for they
enjoy a magnificent climate with the
other advantages of this growing city.

still hold the opinion, often ex
pressed before, that all large schools
should have lu their employ at lea>-t
one special practical teacher of elocu
tion. Were our schools afforded this
additional advantage, we should, in
their annual exhibitions, begin to wit
ness amateur work equal if not su
perior to much of the pompous strut
and bellowing, the nodding pi times
and sheet-iron thunder of professional
clap-trap.
I have read with much interest lu

quent allusions toward securing a pub
lic park for Albany. It U an enter
prise not only worthy tbe attention,
but immediate adopt'on of our Council,
together with tlie sympathy an 1 co
operation of every g*>od «itizeu.
A pleasant resort iu Uie viciuity of

Uupreteutio.is llttie Camilla needs
no park; nature lias done tiie work
for her in many beautiful walks, shut
in by magnificent treets from the too
garish light of tiie summer sun, made
delightful by day and doubly en
trancing for extended rambles in the
bracing anus of the night shadows.
II the city of Albany, already pos
sessing so many attractions, Is about
to take a new lease of life and activity,
its perpetuation depends upon the
ready participation of tier own ener
getic citizens. It is to be* hoped that
exigences aud necessities may speedily
arise compelling such co-operation.
It is said that when the engineers
iuformed Napoleon of the utter im
practicability of tbe passage over tbe
Alp* with cavalry and artillery, the
only reply of that wonderful man
was, “There shall be no Alps!” Tbe
way over the Simplon, oue ot the
grandest feats of military engineering
ever accomplished, was the result and
fulfillment of that prophecy of quench
less fire and energy.
It shall he so in the hereafter with
Albany i.i her progress onward and
upward. When your handsomely il
lustrated pamphlets, faithfully repre
senting her real advantages,
through a judicious distribution, have
reached their destination abroad there
shall be no Alps, no giant impediments
so great as not to be leveled or bridged
over for her future advance. Such
accomplishment will be realized if her
euterprising citizens, despite the croak
ers here aud there, shall only bring to
bear tbe demolition of all opposing
barriers.
N. B. If It were not for making an
other and too much of a jump, I
should like to mention, if ever so
briefly, a specimen or two of the

Cambridge, N. Y., tiie Rev. L W.
Waddell performing tiie ceremony.
The interior of the church was taste
fully decorated for the occasion by the

of the bride, and presented a brilliant
appearance. The bride and groom en
tered together, and by request of the
bride tiie officers of the church stood
with them during the ceremony.
Tlie union of Miss Beattie aud Mr.
Hunt Is the consummation of a mu
tual lore that dates back to their child
hood. They grew up together in the
State of New York, aud hare been
lovers for a long time. Mr. Beattie
moved to Georgia and brought his
daughter some time ago, but now she
will return to her native State the
bride of tbe man she loves, who has
been faithful to her, as she has to him,
through their long separation.
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt left 00 the B. A

New York Friday. They were accom
panied on their journey by Mr. Hamp.
Beattie, brother of tbe bride, and Mr.
Will Rogers, who will spend some
time with them at their home in Cam

some warm friends in Albany during
her residence here, and tbe esteem iu
which she is held was attested by tbe
elaborate decorations—tbe work of
friends and acquaintances and tbe
large audience that surrounded her

and good wishes that bare been called

TLe qantity of coal used in Albany
Is gradually increasing each year.
Fire years ago but little was burned in
this dty, but now forty or fifty car
loads are required to supply tbe de-
Tlie coal consumers of tbe city bad
better make their arrangements dur
ing the month of July for their sup
ply, as it Is cheaper for July than for
August delivery, and cheaper for
Angust delivery than for tbe month
of September. Tbe reason of this is
obvious; the mines are not crowded
with orders during the summer months
and tbey can afford to sell their prod
ucts cheaper thaa wheu the rush of
orders tax their capacity to bill
them.
It has been practically demonstrated
that coal is much cheaper fuel than
wood in this city. Wood haulers de
mand such figures for their wood that
nearly every bouse iu this dty has
been furnished with grates, and tbe
log-wood fires are getting to bea thing
of the past.
Some few who prefer wood fires
from sentiment, and for tbe sa
of old associations, still hold on
to them. Tbejr are a warm
minder of the bright days of tbe pa
I an institution Inseparably
entwined with tbe recollections of the
happy days of the good old plantation
times. Tbe very thoughts of them
warm ns up to their commendation.
The large wood fires, with the bright
tongues of flames licking up great
heaps of logs, glow as bright spots in
the winter of the past.
Fmrm Work.
With a splendid season in the
ground, and every prospect for good
crops, a timely word of warning to
farmers will not be amiss. Tbe crops
though dean require work after every
rain, and a failure to plow cotton as
soon as possible after a season such as
we have enjoyed will inure to the In
jury of the plant. We dare say that
grass is sprouting thickly all over the
fields which requires only a superficial
plowing to exterminate now, but if
left undisturbed for a week it will
cure such a hold as to be of difficult
eradiation.
Peas are a most profitable crop with
us, and if a sufficient quantitylhas not
been sown there is plenty of time yet
in which a good crop can be planted
and made. All oat fields should be
planted in peas. The pea crop is one
of the best fertilizers known and re
stores to land Its original fertility by a
careful and frequent cultivation of
them.
The wet spell has afforded a fine op
portunity for setting oat sweet pota
toes and our farmers have doubtless
availed themselves of it, but if not let
every one put down as much ground
lu potatoes as possible. Tbe potato Is
one of the most easily converted Into
ney of any Southwest Georgia
crops. The yield is so large that from
$50 to $75 per acre can be easily
cleared.
Tbe fate of tbe boom that is at pres
ent taking shape In this section de
pends on tbe character of our crops
this foil, and the Nkws and Advkb-
er is anxious that our farmers
shall harvest good crops, as well as se
cure a good price therefor, as Is the
present prospect.
