The Atlanta paper* come very Ir

Transposing a speech made, urging

opportunities afforded in the establish
ment of the Georgia Chautauqua In
our city, we will say that it Is an influ
ence that Albany desires and certainly
need*.
Let there be no division among the
people of Albany over the location of
the Chautauqua. Perhaps it would
be best to raise the necessary funds
and get the Chautauqua Assembly or
ganized, and then select the site after
wards.
Mr. J.L. Jenkins, of Worth county,

The cotton buyers, of wh^ra Albany
has a large number, arc enjoy
ing their usual summer rest from
their active labors during the fall
and winter months. It is unfortunate
that the business Is compressed into
such a small compass of time. During
the fall and winter months there is a
kind of Intermittent commercial fever,
which taxes the energies of the cotton
men, but they have a long season ot
recuperation.

Of the great variety of shade and or
namental trees that adorn our city, the
elm is the most esteemed. It combines
the qualities of beauty and utility most
admirably. For a long time the live-
oak and wateroak were the most popu
lar, and they were selected for plant”
ing almost to the exclusion of all oth
ers, but the few elms planted develop
ed so rapidly and symmetrically that
the appreciation of that species has
greatly grown.

Atlanta, Mav 23.—The exercises In
memory of the late Justice Hall ot the
Supreme Court were held this morning
in the Senate Chamber. Judge Rich
ard J. Clarke, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, read the report,
which was quite elaborate, touching
upon the life and character of the dis
tinguished jnrfst. Maj. A. O. Bacon
and John S. Davidson spoke tothe
resolutions on the part of the State bju*.
and Justices Blanchford and Bleckley
responded on part of the Court.
The allusions ot his former Associate
Justices were touching in the extreme
Judge Bleckley aakl that Judge Hall
died as a soldier on duty in the service
of hi* country. The paralyria that
strode him down was caused by bis
effort* to solve problem* Involved In
intricate cas es which he bad taken with
him to Mount Airy to labor upon dar

at the conclusion of bis remarks, read
two or three veraes of the Scriptures
as ill ustradve of Judge Hall’s perform
ance of bit whole duty.
CMNir Board ot Education.
The Board of Education of Dougher
ty County held a meeting and trans
acted important butineas, last Satur
day.
The tarm of Mr. L. E. Welch, who
has acceptably filled tbe position of
County School Commissiooer for tbe
past twenty year*, having expired ,and
he, on account of a change of business,
not desiring to bold tbe office longer,
Mr. J. S. Davis was unanimously
elected as bis successor. Mr. Davis
•passed his examination on Saturday,
and will enter upon tbe dotieaof Coun

Commissioner Is received.
Tbe Board of Education unanimous

F. F. Putney thanking Mr. Welch for
tiie efficient and faithful* manner in
which he bad discharged his Unties
during his long term of office.
No other business of interest to tbe

First Cmr •* Jletono.
The first car of melons of tbe season
reached Albany, Saturday night, from
below, on its route to Atlanta. It was
billed from Pemberton’* Ferry, Fla.,
to a commission bouse in Atlanta.
This Is earlier, by nearly two weeks,
than die first car of last season, which
passed Albany on June 8th.
The very warm weather Insures a
fair demand for the luscious fruit, even
at so early a date.
The indications are that we have a
warm summer before us, and conse
quently the demand for melons will
prove In excess of the supply, If they
are jndlciously distributed.
Half a Million Young atone
Dnmpe* Into ttoo Flint.
Half a million young shad were
emptied into Flint river at this point,
Saturday afternoon. A car with mil
lions of little fish, and an Idcubator
with which to turn out more, arrived
in the city on the 2:45 train from Ma
con In charge of Messrs. W. A. Dun-
Ington and W. F. Page, from the De
partment at Washington. Shortly
after the train arrived, a dray was
loaded with large tin cans containing
500.000 of tbe yonng shad, and driven
to the river. The cans were emptied
Into the river, and Uncle Sam’s tills
year’s contribution of fish to Flint
river at this point had been made. The
car went down the S., F. A W. R’y at
4 o’clock.
Drift Wood.
Drift wood has caused a stir in court
circles In Dougherty county. Very
few people, and not all the lawyers,
know of the existence of a statute
which made it a misdemeanor to catch
drift timber and dispose of It.
Dink Melvin and Robert Palmer,
during the last freshet, busied them
selves in catching timbers that had
been cut by raftsmen above Albany
and washed lrom their mooring by
high waters. They would engage a
log as It floated down and tow it in to
the hank and secure it. Thus they col
lected quite a lot of timber, and dis
posed of it.
The owners appeared upon the scene
and laid claim to it,but failed to recover
their property. They went before the
last Grand Jury and obtained true bids
against the parties for the offense. The
bills were transferred to the County
Court, and the cases came up for trial,
last week.
Robert. Palmer plead guilty, but
Dink Melvine went betore a jury on
the fact’s and was convicted.
Mr. Sam Farkas, who bought some
of the drift timber, was also indicted,
tried and convicted. Mr. Farkas pro
tested that he was ignorant of tbe fact
that it was drift timber, but the jury
returned a verdict of guilty.
There are but few people who would
not have been caught as was Mr. Far
kas. The existence or such a law was
known only to a few, and while Ig
norance of the law Is no excuse before
a court, yet It acquits one of any
wrong intention
Another Smastoap mm itoe Blakely
Extension.
There was another smashup on tbe
Blakely Extension of the Southwestern
railroad, lastSatnrday morning. As the
regular train was coming in, a box car
that was loaded with rosin collapsed
and threw all that part of the train be
hind it, including the express and pas
senger coaches, off the track. Tbe
train was approaching Walker Station
when the accident occured, and was
running slowly—bad “slowly op,” In
fact, preparatory to stopping at the
station. The car that caused the
trouble seemed to give way under Its
load, and went down all at once. For
tunately, no one was hurt. The en
gine and two or three cars that were
ahead of the car that broke down staid
the track and came on to tbe cltv.
Mr. Thomas Gaffney walked Into the
river at the foot of Broad street, and
was drowned, at about 11 o’clock last
Friday morning.
If the deceased had been soU-r and ln
hit right mind there could be but one
correct answer to tiie question pro
pounded in the above headline, and
that would be that tt was a dear case
of deliberate suicide; hot the condition
of the man at tbe ti<ue of hisdeathaud
for two weeks before, places tbe mat
ter in doubt. He bad been on a pro
tracted spree for about two weeks, and
was very drunk on Friday morn
Ing. Some of his friends think
that he had been under the In
fluence of liquor so long that he did
not know what lie was doing, while
there are other* who are of the opin
ion that he walked Into tiie river with
tbe Intention of drowning himself.
The News axd Advertiser failed |o
find sny one, however, who had heard
him threaten to put an end to bioMelf,
or could give any good reason for
believing that lie bad deliberately sui
cided.
John Edwards, who works in the
blacksmith shop near the foot of Broad
streets, saw Mr. Gaffney walk into the
river, and ran to the rescue. Reach
ing the river bank, be found a fldilng
roJ, which be liekl out to tbe drown
ing man. Tiie latter seemed to take
no notice oT the proffered assistance,
however, and did not catch tbe pole.
Soon ha went down to rise no
more. A few minute* after lie sank
Richard Magrudcr, another colow 1
man, joined John Edwards ou the
river bank, and bolding on to tbe
pole, which was held to- by Henry on
the bank, went into the water and suc
ceeded iu finding Mr. Gaffney’s body
in about six feet of water, right where
it had sunk. It was raised and brought
out on the river bank immediately. A
crowd soon gathered, and every effort
was made to resuscitate tiie man. bat
all to no avail. The lifeless body was
finally taken tothe residence of Mr. P.
L. Dunlavy.
Mr. Gaffney was a native of Ireland,
and was about seventy year* old. He
had been In this country forty years,
and was a brave soldier in the Confed
erate army. He was a peddler, and
bad made Albany bis headquarters lor
the last sir years. He was an honor
able, hard working man, and was well
liked by those who knew him. He
was not nsnally a hard driuker, and
those who knew him well say that he
never was known to get on a spree ex
cept In Albany. He was always good
natutvd, and when drinking was free
with Ids money. Mr. Duul&vey, who
his friend and gave him a friendly
lecture Friday morning, says that
he knew him to spend $740 on one
spree in this city. He had never mar
ried, and leaves no near relatives In
this country, though he has brothers
and sisters In Ireland.
Albany ia one of the best drained
cities for its size in tiie world, and its
present excellent sanitation is largely
due to Its splendid system ot drainage.
There are a few points, though, which
demand tbe attention of the authori
ties, and which, by the ex rcise of
judgment and tiie little amount of la
bor necessary, could be somewhat im
proved. The intersection o! line and
Madison streets Is perhaps the most
troublesome iwlnt in the city,' from
tbe fact that tiie volume of water that
is turned luto that basin is iu excess of
the capacity of tiie open sewer. Tiie
discharge, then, is not sufficient, and
the accumulation of water overflow*
Mr. J. A. Greer’s yard, on occasions
of very heavy rains. The question of
sewerage te forcing itself upon the At
tention of the cltv. Our present sys
tem is the best known for ordinary
uses; and it is tiie healthiest, for with
open sewers tiie full efitet of the de
odorizing and disinfecting proper
ties of the sun’s rays is utilized, and no
noxious vapors, freighted with disease
and death, ride the night air. But the
waste water lrom our system of minia
ture waterworks creates the necessity,
so some think, of a system of under
ground sewerage. This would involve
great cost and labor, yet it is entirely
practical.
The Albany police are establishing
a reputation for vigilance. Jim/Kemp
was so annoyed at some one milking
his cow on Monday night that he sat
op all night Tuesday to catch tlic thief.
He was mortified next morning at
missiug six chickens from his hen
house* It is supposed that the thief
came In, and spying Jim asleep on ills
watch, compromised on taking the
chickens for fear he might disturb Jim
and he wouldn’t like it. Dick Westbrook
fa now-on the lookout'for a set of fur
niture which a Negro,driving up to his
place, moved off in the night time.
Tom James says that he knows that if
he had anything worth, stealing some
thief would get that. Tom is blessed
in having nothing but his good looks,
and the only man be need suspect of
any design against those is McLung,
and he can keep bis good eye on him
while be is in town.

ride Forward for Albany
That Uriiif • Herlo thefrant.
The News and Advertiser is grat
ified that It is able to congratulate the
good people at Albany upon tbe *oc-
cess of a movement that ha* been si
lently but surely pn»gre*sing. looking
to the establishment of a Cbautauqiza
Assembly in tills city. We have been
anxiously waiting tbe progress of the
movement, and its present status justi
lt* in publishing that “The Geor
gia Chantanqna,” located at Albany,
H an assured fact.
A Chautauqua Assembly b nothing
more uor less than a normal school,
which bas for it* object the culti
vation of tl»e mental and mor
al qualities. The .As-einbly wllj
be in *e£d«Mi In Albany during the
month of H-treh, aud it 1* designed
that many Northern visitor* to the
South will be attracted to our pleas
ant city, with its matchless mineral
water rnd salubrious climate, to enjoy
the’ advantages of till* Assembly, a*
well as Immunity from therigorsof the
Northern climate.
The credit of the inauguration of the
movement to locate tills Assembly at
Albany i» due to Mr. W. A. Duncan,
tbe well known Secretary of the New
York Chautauqua. Tfds will inspire
confidence is all who are acquainted
with the history of these Assemblies.
Mr. Duncan visited Albany last win
ter. and was *o pleased with the city
ind our section that he made an in
vestment in our coonty. He foond the
winter climate so perfect that a desire
was formed within him to make this
his winter home. He began the agita
tion of tbe Chautauqua Assembly*and
met with suck encouragement from
our people that Its success is in no way
doubtful.
Tbe people of Albany should lend
all possible encouragement to this en
terprise, as It promises to accomplish
more for the city Iu a mental, moral
and material way than any project
that ever materialized in our commun
ity. It will bring annually to our city
a large and ever increasing uumber of
visitor* of tiie most refined and cul
tured class. It will prove a most pow
erful auxilliary to the Influences for
good that are already operative In onr
midst. It will advertise onr city as no
other agency could.
This b> but a brief statement of facts.
The nature of the Chautauqua Assem
bly will be fully discussed at another
time, but tiie News and Advertiser
is more encouraged tohojiefora bright
future for Albany than ever before In
its history.

The Mayor assessed them from $5 to

charge before the law, and calls upon
one public censure, without a single

Tiie city authorities should protect
the church going people fully in tbe

strong arm ol the law is ever ready to
lay its hands rigorously upon such

better.

This bony met at Poulau, In Worth
county,lastSatnrday. There were some
800 or 1,000 people in attendance, some
thought as many as 1,500.
R. B. Reppard, President of the
State Sunday School Association, as
also of tbe Monteagle Sunday School
Assembly, was present, and was called
npoo to preside, which is equivalent

D.E. Lester delivered a chaste
address of welcome, aud J. J. Wil
liams made an appropriate response.
'The singing by tbe different schools
was most excellent. The schools at
Ty Ty. Salem, Sumner, (M. E.
church; Friendship and Poulan enter
ed for a contest for the best singing, a
banner to be the award. I regretted
that I was compelled to leave before
the contest came off. I cannot say
which school won the banner The
Baptist Sunday School at Sumner bore
of the badge of victory last year, bnt
decided not to enter tbe contest this
year.
There was a debt of about $125 upon
the tabernacle In which the meetings
are held, and this was all provided for.
In cash and pledges. But while every
thing about the meeting was good—
what shall I say of the dinner? It was
simply magnificent, both in quantity
and quality.
I ate dinner a few weeks ago at the
Ponce DeLeon hotel, at St. Augustine,.
Florida, the finest hotel In the world,
and last week at tbe Ebbitt House,
Washington City, and I speak the
truth, not flattery, when I say that the
dinner which I got at Poulan was bet
ter than that which I got at either or
these places.
This Sunday School Association has
done, and is doing a great work for
Worth county, in organlzinguew Sun
day Schools, in increasing the interest
in and attendance upon them, in im
proving their methods and in improv
ing their singing.
I hope next year to see a large at
tendance from Albany upon the Worth
County celebraflbn, but still more 1
should be glad to see a similar associ
ation organized In Dougherty county-.
F.
Slziy Brtfthela is Itoe Acre.
Judge F. F. Putney is one of tiie
many Northern men who have found
a pleasant home and profitable busi-
lu this section. The Judge,besides
being one of tiie cleverest men In this
section, is one of tbe best farmers in
tbe South. The general appearance ol
his handsome country seat betokens
the pride that he takes in it, and indi
cates the prosperity that attends his
labor*.
Tiie Judge has just finished catting
hb oat crop, which yielded 60 bushels
to the acre. This demonstrates the
possibilities ot our section in growing
grain.
The total cost of fertilizing, sowing,
cutting and housing this crop did not
exceed $8 per acre. Thirty bushels of
cotton seed per acre were used In fer
tilizing the crop, at a cost of $4.50.
The seed and labor could not have cost
more than $3.50. At 50 cent per bush
el, the crop would return a net profit
of $22 per acre. What crop can make
a better showing?
Fifa.
The fig crop in this region promises
to be unusually large tills season. The
showery weather that we have had for
tbe last two or three weeks seems to
have been just what tiie fig trees
wanted, and they have taken on a large
crop of fruit.
The fig tt one of the most certain
and unfailing fruit* that can be grown
in tide section, and it tt strange that it
receives so little attention, for it tt cer
tainly a most wholesome and delicious
fruit.
The Commercial Bank building is
nearing completion. Mr. A. J. Leon
ard,the contractor, has certainly evinc
ed skill in the execution of tiie plans
and *peelfirations. It Is tbe hand
somest business house in the city. The
interior decorations are greatly admir
ed, especially the wainscoating and
ceiling of beaded Georgia pine. Tbe
ceding Is laid In the most artistic man
ner, something after tiie style of a
crazy quilt, and produces a very pleas
ing effect. Albany’s workmen cannot
be surpassed in tbe qualities that are
requisite—taste, skill and celerity.
HzxmnnTA Whitehead, a poor, un
fortunate Negro woman, was brought
before Judge Z. J. Odom, Ordinary,
Friday, under a writ of Jnnacy. A
jury was empanelled, and the testimo
ny adduced showed that the, unhappy
woman’s derangement had been super-
indneed by the wanton desertion of
her husband. She was found to be a
fit subject for the lunatic asylum. The
authorities of tbe State lunatic asylum
have been notified.

Captain claimed no compensation, was
brought to the attention of tiie last

for It was wholly inadequate, but as a
slight compensation for htt trouble,
and as an expression of appreciation
for the service, voted Captain Steph
ens $150 out of tbe County Treasury,
At the last meeting of the Board of
Connty Commissioners the amount
was tendered. the Captain, who de
clined to receive it, saying that he had
undertaken the work without any
hope of reward and he was satisfied to
let It remain as it was.
The generosity of Captain Stephens
will meet with just appreciation by htt
fellow citizens, who hold him In snch
high esteem, already.

one in htt abdomen, which proved
fatal.
Barfield was a dangerous man when
