A Magnificent Plantation.
Orer 5,000 Acres in Cultivation Un
der One Management.
From the Quitman Free Press.
It was our pleasure a few days since
to visit the magnificent plantation of
Haj. B. W. Bellamy, which lies in
Jefferson county, Fia., about sixteen
-miles south of Quitman. Almostevery
one n this section knows about the
‘Bellamy” pface, and lias some idea
its magnitude, but a correct idea of
its bastness and the large scale upon
which farming is here carried on can
only be formed by a personal inspec
tion of the place.
Major Bellamy owns something over
8,000 acres of land, whi.di lies in one
body. Of this between five and six
thousand acres are in cultivation,
about half-and-half In cotton and corn.
Tc cultivate this immense area, it is
necessary to run 150 plows. Some of
these are run by wages bands, some by
contract and some by renters, but It is
all under the personal supervision of
Major Bellamy himself.
There is not a day that passes that
be does not visit -the greater par: of
the plantation himself. To do this It
takes an immense amount of riding,
and gives the horses that the Major
keeps for this purpose all they want
to do.
An idea of the size of the plantation
will be obtained from the following;
While we were riding over the place
the Major stopped at a point where two
plantation loads met, and remarked
that it was four miles from that point
to the edge of the place, go whichever
direction we might choose. Wc took
his word for it, and did not step the
distance.
If a man from Middle Georgia wa*
dropped down in the middle of this,
plantation, lie might feel a little j
strange, and would probably get lost
before he got out of it; but the hills
and valleys would look so natural that
he would'still think that he was in his
own section of the State. These lands
have a stiff clay subsoil, and are won
derful fertile*, too. Without fertiliza
tion, and without the careful cultiva
tion which smaller farms receive, they
produce from a third to a half hale of
cotton and from fifteen to twenty
bushels of corn to the acre. The crops
were, suffering some for rain at the time
of our visit, it being just at the close
of tlie recent prolonged dry spell, but
nevertheless they were looking re
markably well. There was an almost
perfect stand of cotton and corn, and
they were both in excellent condition.
The absence of rain had made it a hard
matter for grass to grow, and they
were as clean as could Inn
One of the most remarkable features
of this immense plantation, bigas it is,
is the almost perfect svstein of terrac
ing and hillside ditches. Wherever
one or the other Is necessary it is to be
found there, and is always properly
looked after and kept up. Tills is no
small matter, and speaks volumes for
tiie execution ability of the owner of
tliis wonderful place.
There are, all told, men, women and
children, about 1,500 Negroes on this
place, between four and five hundred
of whom are able-bodied men. The
Major knows them all by name, and
they all like him and will do anything
for him. He never meets one but
what he has a pleasant word for him,
aiid always leaves him in a good hu
mor. Of course, to manage so much
labor would be more than one man
could do, and to help him the Major
has three agents as they are now
known, but who in ante-bellum days
wo .Id be called overseers. Each of
these has different parts of the planta
tion to look after, while tho Major,
himself, exercises a geueral supervis
ion over the whole thing. In addition
to these agents there is a man who
stays at the house and attends to the
commissary, where the Negroes come
for their supplies of various kinds, and
who keeps the books, a regular set of
hooks being necessary to keep every
thing straight..
Major Bellamy takes a special pride
in Ills stock, and, as the dealers who
have over sold film well know, there is
no use in trying to sell him an ordina
ry mule. JIc always buys the best ami
keeps them at their host. Every sea
son he sells of]'the old and worn out
mules and replaces them with fine
young ones. Any one who has stood
on the streets or Quitman and seen a
half dozen or more of Major Bellamy’s
six-mule wagons come into town
laden with cotton or corn knows the
kind of stock he keeps.

To-day we will publish only die
proceedings of the meeting held iti

of his Georgia creditors on tlie Teu-

Tbe meeting was called at 5 o’clock
in the reading room of the -Hotel La

deliberations were very earnest, and
the meeting did not adjourn dntil 8
o’clock, having been in session three
hours discussing the wily transactions
of Montgomery.
The meeting was not as largely at

Maggie Hauleton, a twenty-year-old
maiden, who is said to be the heaviest
girl in tlie world, is on exhibition in a
dime museum. Maggie was born in
Trenton, N. J., and since she was 14
years old has never before, been out of
that city. She was never on exhibi
tion before, and her family were op
posed to her engagement. Maggie
thought she should do something lor
herself and her family, finally consen-
i ted. A special car had been chartered
in Trenton, but it was found that
Maggie was too big to pass through
the door. Fully 200 people accom
panied. Maggie to the depot to see lien
off, and every one had some way to
suggest to get her inta the car. The
museum agent glanced at his watch,
and found that lie had hut a lew min
utes to spare. He held a consultation
with station Agent CUver and Bag
gage-Master Jenkins, and a smile
spread over his face. After whisper
ing a f*w words to Maggie’s mo.her
and sister, he rushed to the te’egraph
office. In a few minutes one of the
new East lake cars was backed up to

be at least $100,000, scattered through
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Louis
iana, Mississippi and Arkansas, it is
said that some party down the Central
railroad was caught for $2,000, but he
had no representative at the meeting.
Mr. J. W. Evans, of Butts & Co., was
able to count up $36,000 indebtedne.-s
of his own knowledge.
It was the sense of the meeting that
Mr. E. G. Harris, who. is a member of
the firm of Harris & Mitchell of Cox.
Ga., should proceed to Illinois as the
representative of the creditors and try
to recover the amount ol their claims,
also, to pusii the criminal prosecution
of Montgomery. There are now at
Vincennes 509 car loads of lumber that
were shipped from the Soutli by Mont
gomery, aiso, 80 car loads of fine
dressed lumber shipped to Evansville
by Montgomery. The sale of this lum
ber baegbeen stopped by the creditors,
and they hope to realize at least a por
tion of their money from it. When

gained from tlie fact that an average
ot twelve cars per day of 23,000 pounds
per car are consumed. Two-thirds

Virginia and North Carolina, princi

and one-third comes from Tennessee.
Norfolk, Va., stands first as a peanut

Lonis. It will tlui3be seen that St.
Louis is interested in uo inconsiderable
degree In the newly-formed peanut
trust. Nearly atl the peanuts that
come to this city are handled by tbe
house of George B. Spear, who
cel res them direct from the growers by
way ol the Tennessee river,.
In order to learu the nature and
character of the new trust, a reporter
called on Mr. Spear yesterday after
noon,- and by way of introduction, di
rected his attention to a telegram from
Norfolk, Va., setting forth tbe fact
that such a trust had been organized.
Mr. Spear said;
“A trust, or something resembling
one. has been organized, but I don’t
understand how the papers got on to
it.”
“What Is the purpose of the trust?’
“Well, yon see, we have been selling
peanut* so close that there has been no
money in them. The trust is organ
ized to maintain a uniformity ot prices
and _ to establish a uniformity ol
grades.”
“When was the trust organized?
“We had a preliminary meeting in
Washington City April 5, and another
one at Norfolk. Va., April 17. At this
latter meeting the organization was
completed. It embraces about eleven
firms, who handle 90 per cent, of the
entire peanut crop of the country.
These firms are located in Norfolk,
Petersburg and Williamsburg, V*.,
Cincinnati, O., Evansville, Ind., and
this city. Nnrfo'k is the greatest pea
nut market in tlie United States; St.
Louis comes next. Three-fifths of the
entire Western crop is handled here in
St. Louis. One firm does nearly all
ti^e peanut business of the city. That
is, we receive them from the farmers,
clean them, and prepare them for the
jobbing ami retail trade. Four boats
a week arrive here loaded with pea
nuts.'

The name under which the trust
proposes to operate in Its endeavor to

freeze out the dealers who do not pro
pose to become members oflt, remains
for the future to disclose.

o’clock in the morning, and to pas3
away the time, concluded to “chance”

words about tlie Major's residence. It
is an old-fashioned Southern residence,
built in that generous style which
characterized the wealthy style of ante
bcllum days. Wide piazzas, unusually
large and airy rooms with high ceil
ings are its main features. To show
how firmly and solidly it is construct

that it was built over fifty years ago,
and all the repairs it has needed since
then was to he recovered once.
One of* an imaginative mind could

ami what veritable kings the wealthy
planters were in the days of Ould Lang

A car belonging to the Adams Ex
press Company was quickly attached,
and a stage composed of boxes nud
trucks was built to make an easy as
cent. A carpenter sawed a three-inch
plank In two and made a seat for the
gigantic woman. All tills time the
rowd cheered and guyed tiie railroad
men. Maggie watched the prepara
tions with interest, and laughed at the
nervous way in which the officials
worked. When the staging was com
pleted she walked through the side
door and into the baggage-car and sat
on the rough scat.
“Don’t you think I might squeeze
through sideways?” she asked the
agent.
“1 wish you could.” lie replied.
“Won’t you please try it?”
After several attempts she managed
to get through the side door and into
the passenger car. Two seats were
taken up by her, and she complained
of being cramped. When tlie train
arrived at the Broad street station, in
Philadelphia, there was a big crowd to
receive her. After considerable diffi
culty she was assisted from the plat
form and walked to the baggage ele
vator. She was taken to the Market
street entrance, where a large furni
ture van was waiting to receive her.
.She was assisted to her chair in the
van and taken to her boarding house
opposite the museum.
Maggie weighs 967 pounds, and is
five feet four and three-quarter inches
iu height. Her waist measures nine-
ty-eigiit inches in circumference, and
her arm thirty-eight inches. She sits
in a chair made especially for her, and
is accompanied by her mother and
sister. In spite of her immense size

These 589 cars of lumber represent
at the smallest calculation fifty-eight
or sixty thousand dollars. Montgom
ery admits to having bought 700 cars
which would be seventy thousand dol
lars, at least, but his creditors think he
bought not less than 1.000 cars or
$100,000 worth. He has evidently sold
a great many car loads, and must have
the money hid out.
Since reaching home Montgomery
professed judgments to the amount oi
$20,050, in favor of his brother, wife
and other relatives. He professed
nearly $9,000 In favor of his wife, and
it is said by parties in Vincenues that
his wile, though an estimable Jadyj
never did own as much as $100. The
Georgia creditors having enjoined
against tlie payment of these judg
ments, and Mr. Harris will have to
fight tills also. Mr. Harris saw and
talked with Montgomery, in Oluey,

tlie Illinois banks representing lumber
uncollected which is Jnvoiced at $104,-

freight $43,000 which will leave$61,000,
but from this amount Montgomery
says must be taken at least $15,000 for
loss iu waste, which brings the amount
down to $46,000. then from this must
be taken $5,000 more freight paid on the
80 ears of lumber shipped to Evansville,
wiiieh drops the amount to $41,000, ami
from this amount Montgomery desires
to have taken bis preferred judgments of
$29,050, in which event the amount
falls iu round numbers to $12,000,
which amount he wishes his creditors
to accept in settlement, together with
$24,500 worth of stock in the Kaufman
Lumber Company, at Pouiuti, Ga.,
which he claims he owns, and is worth
about 50c. on tiie $1.00, which added
to the $12,000 worth of lumber out
West make $21,250 to pay about $100- .

legally owns and can transfere the
Kaufman Co. stock, and it can realize
50c., on the dollar, all of which is
doubtful. Sometime ago it is-said that
Montgomery was largely interested in
the Kamffman Lumber Co. at Foulau,
but it ha* since become heavily involv
ed, and is said to belong to Western
parties, and is out of the hands of
Montgomery. The Kauffman or Mont

Company was en route to Denver, and
at Ogden a vender came iuto our car,
and remembering a five dollar gold
piece which I had found In Los Ange
les, I thought I would invest. Well,
it didn’t win the largest prize but it
has brought me $2,500 which will assist
my memory wonderfully.

Rainbow Superstition.
From the Chicago Herald.
The rainbow is frequently credited
with great power for good or evil. It
is a wide-spread belief that it hide-
great riches or brings fortune or go-.»*!
luck with It. In Simbia it is said o
rest on bowls of gold; ii^Huugarv that
cups of silver will be found where, it
touches the earth or water, and tl
finder will difine the future. It is
quite likely that a shoe cast over it w ill
lull ou the. other side filled with gold
as it is believed in Berne and amop^
Suahian peasants. The difficulty is to
get it over. In Carthenia it is a hat.
Czech tradition says that if iron or
other base metal be cast iuto the rain
bow it will turn to gold, and similar
things are recorded of it in the Tyrol.
In many part* of Germany a gold key
or a treasure is said to be found where
the bow tenches the earth; in Portu-
Coriosity That Was Costly.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
“We were all busily at work,” said
an employe In a Nashville and Louis
ville olfice the other morning, “when
the chief clerk entered and took his
se it. He lead not been long at his desk
when a messenger boy came with a
telegram, which was received 'with a
great appearance of emotion on the
part of the recipient. Springing from
the chair in which he was seated, he
rushed bareheaded from Hie office,
leaving tlie telegram behind him on
his desk. “What could it mean?” was
a question not asked, but predominant
in every iniud. At lastaclerk, bolder
than the rest, longed to the desk and
seized the message. Quick a* a flash
he dropped it and ran out of tlie door.
This was repeated until the office was
empty. Now the telegram read:
‘Puichase all the stock on the market.
l»Ig advance in price at an early date.
This wits signed by a noted Wail street
speculator, aud, as each clerk had
little fund saved up, you can imagine
the cause of their precipitate departure
from the office. We were not gone
long, but when wc returned, one by
one, after investing our last dollar, the
chief clerk was there to welcome us
with a meaning smile. Nothing was
said. The stock fell very low that
evening, and we lost all our money.
Still nothing lias been said, but there
is a great deal thought.”
claimed Piersen as
fat pocketbook. “Give me a $1,000
worth of chips,” and he placed two
$500 bills on ttie. “layout.” * “Blues,”
worth $0.25 was handed ont and. the
deal went on. Scarcelv a l*et was won
by Pierson, and his $1,000 were gone
aud lie was stock, a* gambler's par
lance runs. He must “win out” at
any cost, and $2,000 in chips w-re
soon piled up before him, but thev
dwindled away rapidly, the player
scarcely picking up a l*t. A lew
deals wer* made ami lotting ran high.
“Yellow” ar $25 a piece had taken the
place of “reds” and “blues.”
“I win $9,000 on the deal.” exclaim
ed Pierson. “I am still in $19,000, but
I’ll get even next deal,” ami the “me
chanic” on the opposite »ide of the
table began to shuffle tlie cards. Pier-
sou’s bad luck cauie hack to him with
renewed force, and inside of twenty
minutes he had lost altogether $30,000
in cash. He arose from tiie table,
lrew his check for ail he had iii bank,
and began his attacks on the tiger
again He lost rapidly, and theu |rut
up his interest In the house, receiving
therefore “checks” to the market, value
of his interest. That went the way
the others, and tlie only tltiug he ’had
left was' a valuable ranch near the
city. This he put up, his partners ac
cepting It at good figures. Fortune
still frowned upon tiie unlucky man,
and when he aro*e a few moment'
afterwards from tiie tnbV that had
been his ruin, he w.»* worse off by
$100,000; many people place his losses
at $125,000, but doubtless the first
mentioned sum was nearest the trut,
This is the heaviest playing ever
done in this part of tiie Rocky moun
tains. In tiie early day* o! Virginia
City, Nevada, fortunes were lost ami
won in a day, but in tills part of the
country a few thousands lost at faro
would be considered great playing.
Pierson’s history is brief. He was for
merly cook in a Leadviin* I»u.-l or re
sturant, and for $100 purchased an in
terest in a defunct gambling house of
the great camp. Lurk followed his
venture, and he was soon a wealthy
man. He came to Denver about two
years ago and bought an interest in
the “Arcade,” where dollars rolled in
upon him without cessation until the
time be sat down to the nuluckygame.
He was estimated to lie worth $150,000.

A Surprise All Around.
From the Barnesvillc Democrat.
A young man who had not been In
vited to participate in a surprise party
gotten np by some ol Ids fricuds, put
his wits to work to surprise the party
himself. Accordingly he wrote to the
young lady at whose home tiie party
was*to be, inching her to go to the
theatre with him *>n the night in ques
tion, and she gladly availed herself of
the offer and both left before the sur-
ri«e” arrived. After the close of the
play he invited her to luncheon, and
the*whole party was surprised to find
her so late in getting home; of course
the young lady knew nothing of tiie
party before her arrivsl home. Con
sequently, it was a surprise to all save
our sharp witted young man.
