A negro brakeman was killed on the

and Camilla Sunday night. He tell

on the top of the traiu, and was crush

A negro, by the name of Berry Car
ter, tired into a passenger train on the
B. A W. road, Sunday morning last, at
Tifton.
The news never reached the cily un
til Thursday morning, but Carter lias
been tried, convicted and sentenced for
his offense.
The B. A W. passenger train that
leaves here at 4:45 iu the morning
stops at Tifton for breakfast, and Sun
day morning while the crew were
taking their breakfast at that {dace,
Carter, who was standing on the side
of the track near the train, pulled out
a pistol and deliberately began firiug
into a window iu the end of the secoud
class coach.
About thirty negroes were in this
coach, but, fortunately for them, none
of the bullets entered their frames.
They were buried in the sides of the
window and shattered the glass in sev
eral places.
Carter fled, but the crew, on their re
turn, were notified and officers were
sent in pursuit. The fugitive was ar-
tested at Brookfield, Monday, and at
once taken to Nashville, the county
site, and jailed.
Court being iu session, the matter
was laid before the grand jury, and
Tuesday morning two true bills were
returned, one for firing into a train
and one for carrying concealed weap
ons.
The court was just taking up the
criminal docket, and Carter was ar
raigned. So strong a case was made
out, that the defendant’s attorney with
drew the plea and a verdict of guilty
was returned.
For firing into the train the judge
sentenced the prisoner to five years in
tlie “pen,” and lor carrying concealed
weapons demanded that he serve one
year ou the chain-gang or pay a fine of
fifty dollars.
Ail this was done before 12 o’clock
Tuesday, and the rich reward of jus
tice was measured out to a reckless
and thoughtless criminal.

Horrible Arrideal at E>ifa».
Ty Ty, March 20.—A horrible acci-
deut took place in a saw mill at En
igma on the Brunswick and Western
railroad a day or two ago. M bile the
mill was running there were two negro
boys playing around the engine, and
one of them was caught iu the fly
wheel and was horribly mangled.
Both his legs were torn off, nearly
every bone in him broken and his
bowels torn out.
The other boy had one foot torn off 1
anu an arm broken into shreds. He is
still alive at this writing.
I)r. P. L. Hilsman, of Albany, was
summoned m consultation with Dr.
Kennedy since to attend the other boy.
and both say he must die, and that it
is a most remarkable case that he
should be still alive.
Tuesday about 1 o’clock a dense
black smoke was seen rising over the
stores about the center of the south side
of Broad street between Washington
and Jackson and the alarm of fire was
immediately sounded.
The companies responded promptly,
and the Are proved to be in some out
houses iu the rear of Muse A Cox and
H. Farkas’ stores, occupied by these
merchants and Mr. J. T. Steele.
The fire was quickly communicated
to Mr. Farkas’ stable and to a plunder
room in which he had a quantity of
goods stored. Muse A Cox also bad
a number of boxes piled in the house,
and Mr. Steele, who used a part of it
tor making mattresses, bad some ex
celsior, cotton, slats, etc., stored there.
The fire burned rapidly, and but for
the prompt work ot Eagle Fire Com
pany No. 2, the flames would have been
communicated to the stores and then
all of the block on the south side of
Brosd street would have goue.
Shortly after Eagle No. 2 began
playiug, Defiance followed with two
stream**, aud then Throuateeska came
to the rescue, aiul the flames were
quickly subdued.
Mr. Farkas’ loss consists of about
seveuty-flve or a hu id red bushels of
corn, some hay and forage. His goods
were fully insured.
Muse A Cox sustained a loss of about
fifteen or twenty dollar*,and Mr. Steele
the same amount, the later gootleman
being fortuua e enough to save a bale
of cotton used for making mattresses
that he kept in the house.

While the praises and congratula

Advertiser office for its enterprise, iu
publishing its handsome Chautauqua
edition of last Sunday, it is but proper
to make some mention of the valuable
assistance this paper received from its
foreman, Mr. Richard E. Cherry.
To Mr. Cherry’s ability, and to his
very efficient corps of assistants, the
beautiful typography of that Usue was j
wholly due, aud to his efficiency and
reliability alone was the consumma
tion of the editor*’ ideas and plans
made practicable.

The News and Advertiser man
agement Monday night showed its ap
preciation of the zeal and efficiency of
its compositors and pressmen by giv
ing them a banquet at the Sans Souci
restaurant of John Mock. This was
■lone as a deserved reward for the
cheerfulness and promptness with
which they performed the extra work
incumbent upon the issuance of the
great Chautauqua edition.
The News and Advf.etiskkcompos
ing force consists ot Messrs. Richard
E. Cherry. A. L. Burton, Walter Cher
ry, Frank Walpole, Thos. Oliver and
John Thomas. All were present, ex
cept Mr. Burton, whom ludisposiiion
kept at home.
The supper was all that heart could
wish in the way of a substantial and
delicate menu, aud was up to the usual
high standard of the Sans Souc : .
After the supper was over, wine was
brought in, and the boys spent a pleas
ant hour responding to the various
toasts, Mr. Dick Cherry presiding.
The toast. “Our Handsome Fore
man,” was responded to by Mr. Cher
ry iu a bright little speech, that was
calculated to throw Patrick Henry and
Henry Grady in the shade.
The toast, “Woman,” Frank Wal
pole handled with a grace and fipurisi.
that evidenced that he had been there,
and left a suspicion in the minds of the
boys that he was bad goue on some
one.
Walter Cherry spoke up on the sub
ject of “A Day Off” with much ener
gy, and convinced his hearers that m
his manly bosom there lingered a
strong predisposition in favor of a
ramble iu the woods with ore member
of tbe fair sex as a companion.
“Albany” was responded to by Mr.
Tom Oliver, who gave a perfect and
enthusiastic analysis of the waters oi
the different cities in tbe country, and
paid a most glowing tribute to the cel
ebrated artesian water of the metrop
olis of Southwest Georgia.
But the speech of the occasion was
made by Master John Thomas in re
ply to the toast of “Our Devil.”
John D a boy and a ball, and worth
his weight in gold, aud his remarks,
full of energy aud enterprise, were
well calculated to stir the community
if they could have heard them. He
closed his remarks by moving that tbe
assembly take up a collection and buy
a pair ol shears to assist the editors of
the News and Advertiser in the
moss-shearing process now in opera
tion. He added that lie had noticed a
good many backs that needed a first-
class hair cut, and thought it was a
pity they could not be kept awake long
enough to take it.
All the speakers congratulated them
selves on living In the Artesian City—
the Queen of Southwest Georgia, and
thanked God that they had never been
compelled to visit Americas and Thom-
aavile, or any other such pin-hook set
tlements. They were enthusiastic on
the subject of the great Georgia Chau
tauqua.
At the conclusion of Master John
Thomas’ speech, Chairman Cherry
said they had had enough of water in
Tom Oliver’s talk. He said lie had
heard of a place in town u here they
could get five glasses ot beer for a
quarter, and moved that they adjourn
to investigate the matter.
The adjournment was unanimously
carried by a rising vote.
After the printer boys dispersed, tbe
press department, (headed by the
News and Advertiser’s patriarch
Thomas Whitehead, and by the “finest
form toter” in the universe, Noah
Directors Monday, of his trip to
Cuthbert, Americas, Dawson, Monte
zurna, Fort Valley and other sur
rounding towns, in the interest of tbe
great Southwest Georgia institution
and the Hotel Mayo. After hearing
Captain Hester’s report, the directors
were enthusiastic over the prospects,
and they gave the Captain an uuani-
moYg vote of thanks.
The report is the most flattering, and
the crowds that will be in the Artesian
Cily next week will be largely in ex
cess of those of last year. Hundreds
in each place have expressed their de
termination of coining, and Captain
Hester says if everybody comes who
has promised to come that a man wil,
hive to walk a mile out of town to get
room to bat his eye, and tiiat It will
be difficult to spit on the street without
having to apologize to somebody for
spitting on his foot.
Captain Hester left Tuesday after
noon for Ailington. aud will boost up
that tow’n, and will later In the week
visit all towns between Albany and
Waycross, and between Albany and

A !Totrw«riky Exception.
From tbe Kimball S. Dak. Graphic.
It is quite impossible for us to speak
knowingly of the merits of the various
arJcles of merchandise advertised.
But there are exceptions occasionally
aud a noteworthy exception is the
celebrated Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. This now universally
known medicine, has been advertised
in the Graphic for four or five years,
but r.ot until recently had we any
persoual Knowledge of its wonderful:
efficacy, which has come about through .
the prevailing influenza and tbe stub-;
born cough tiiat has so often attended
it. In the writer’s family this medi-|
cine has on several occasions this |
winter, cured a cough that baffled any
aud all other remedies; and the num
ber of tamilies in Kimball and vicinity
in which this remedy has been used
wi:h like effr*cts attest* to its value as
a specific for conghs and colds of every
nature. For sale by H. J. Lamar A

Treasurer Cliff B. Grimes, of the
Columbus Southern Railway, was in
the city this week, and was stirring up
delinquent subscribers to the Coluin- j
bus Southern stock. In this the News
and Advertiser sympathizes with j
him—It has been there. He was quite i
successful, however, in many cases in
getting the subscription, but many
more did not come to time. Go ahead
and pay yours, and whatever you do,
don’t develop into a heterogeneous
iroglodvte; in other word-*, don't be a

On the fourth of March two footsore
and begrimed pilgrims of the box car
came into tlie News and Advertiser
composing room. They were as hun-
gry-looking as wolves, and, to use a fa
miliar expression among themselves,
were undoubtedly “all sprt up tbe
back,” and looked as if they had
“drilled” a thousand miles in a thous
and minutes.
They gave their names as Chas. E.
Hill, of Cleveland, Ohio, and W. K.
Rutter, of Richmond, Va., and, dis
playing their Typographical Union
cards, the boys immediate*}' put them
on “cases” ani procured them a board
ing place.
Hill was the spokesman of the
party, and he gave it out that they
hailed from Jacksonville, and were
bound to Macon, Atlanta and Chatta
nooga, on their way to Washington
City. They had wintered in Florida
and the South, but as the weather was
now somewhat better they thought
they could stand it farther North.
11:11 was a slick talker, and a plausible
rascal, and great and many were his
varns of his wonderful exploits on the
road, and many were his fan-tailed
chestnuts and bis mossy old jukes.
Rutter was less talkative by far, but
readily fell in with an assent whenever
Hill’s Baron Munchausen stories
ar >used the slightest doubt iu the
minds ot Albany’s knights of the stick
and rule.
Hill and Rutter got all the work
they wanted, and, in fact, grumbled at
they amount they did get. The boys
put them on several days, and when
Foreman Cherry commenced his pre
parations for the great Chautauqua
edition of last Sunday, he put them to
work and they worked all lost week.
Last Saturday night, when the
Chautauqua edition was up, they were
paid, treated and thanked by the man
agement. They had too much money
to rest content, aud they proceeded to
get drunk, and went back into the of
fice after everybody had left. Mr.
Cherry had previously given one of
• hern an old pair ot shoes to cover hie
naked feet, and when he got drunk he
tole a pair of almost new $5.00 shoes
hat Frank Walpole had inadvertently
left under his case tiiat night when he
went home.
They also stole a pair of pants be
longing to Mr. Cherry that he had in
he office, that were worth fully $7 or
$8, aud were a recent purchase of his.
They did not 6ee auy tiling else that
they coul l carry off to steal, and to
«how their gratitude for being fed and
given work, they maliciously pied a
galley of solid nonpareil—a live “ad.”
They then left the city and nothing
more has been seen of them.
And right well for them it was that
they did leave, for several mad print
ers around these parts would hare un
doubtedly have bruised them up pret
ty badly, even before they could hava
oeeu jaiurd for burglary.
It is to be hoped they will come back
this way, as the Dougherty county
chain gang needs just such labor as
these scoundrels could be made to do.
The hoys, also, would like to have the
pleasure of pounding them a little.
It is just such trilling, thieving vag
abond* as Chas. E. Hill aud W. K.
Rutter that run down the noblest of
all mechanical occupations, and who
stigmatize their decent, well-behaved
and deserving brethren.
The Typographical Union would do
well to revoke the cards of all such
men. and let it be understood that lo
men ot that uiass are in its body. No
rganiz uiou can succeed in anything
with such parasites attached to ft.
The News and Advertiser boys
are willing to assist any poor, worthy
traveling printer, but they draw the
line at thieves and men wiio can do
such dastardly deeds as to destroy
their work merely for a love of lawless
ness.
A real, live, flrst-class exchange is
what S. H. Phelan A Co., of At
lanta, say they want to establish
here. One of their representative:
was in the ArtesianiCity last;Saturday,
and was talking his plan and inter
viewing the cotton men very exten
sively on the subject.
The projected enterprise is. he says,
a regular cotton and mercautile ex
change, and no bucket shop, llis firm
wiil open the exchange, and will take
all the cotton reports aud meat, grain
and other reports and post them up on
a bulletin board in their office as soon
as received. These reports will be ac
cessible to every merchant and cotton
dealer in the city, and it will cost him
nothing to keep posted on the prices of
all goods.
They will buy and sell cotton,
and will also sell futures if any
body wishes to buy them. They want
a license for a perfectly legitimate
business, and are willing to have it
granted, subject to revocation by
Council if they indulge in bucket-shop
practices and methods.
Some of the cotton merchants ex-
Dress themselves as satisfied that
Phelan’s business is legitimate, and
say it will be a great saving and con
venience to cotton men. Others did
not have so much »o say. And others
xaid, If it was such a legitimate busi
ness as lie professed, it did not need a
special license.
The general impression Monday
afternoon was that it was in tbe na
ture of enterprise and advancement,
and that ihe Council would grant them
a license.
A prominent cotton roan said Mon
day to the reporter that this exchange,
if tbe Council granted them a license,
would save him and every other cotton
man in the city about $186 a year, and
that every cotton buyer, even of the
smallest calibre, would save five dollars
a week by it. Ho considered it a great
thing for Albany, and directly on tbe
line of improvement and advancement.
He hoped and prayed the Council
would give them a license if they
ueeded it. It would be another boom
ing screamer for the city.
Messrs. Phelan A Co: will be in the
city some time duriug the week and
Mayor Woolfolk will call the Council
together!n special session when they
come, and will give them an oppor
tunity of explaining their methods in
full, and the Council will act upon
their petition.
Every other first-class Georgia city
has such a cotton exchange, and Alba
ny will follow suit.
While the Council will foster nothing
immoral, its stand is a progressive
one, and it will encourage everything
that tends to upbuild and advance the
city’s material interests, and that will
benefit her merchants and citizens.
Let the good work go on.

recognized the watch, having worked

to arrest the party whom Howard says

The first train on the Columbus
Southern reached Albany Thursday
morning at five miuntes after eleven
o’clock.
It was composed of an engine and
passeuger coach, and Mr. W. A.
Malone pulled the cord.
The train was a special, taking the
officers and a few of the directors over

Mr. A. N. (“Uncle Neal”) Walker,
of Oakiawu, who died Wednesday
morning, was a grand old man in many
respects, and was as charitable as the
day was long. A citizen of Albany
yesterday told tbe reporter thi* inci
dent, illustrative of his remarkably
tender heart:
A few years ago as Uncle Neal was
returning to his home after a day
spent in Albany, he passed on the
road a party of emigrants, going to
Florida. Uncle Neal was riding in his
buggy and the emigrants were walk
ing.
The party consisted ot three—a
man,his wile and their child,and looked
weary and disheartened. The man
was plodding along ahead with all
their worldly possessions on his
shoulders, and the woman was follow
ing with the baby iu her arms. Uncle
Neal took In their pitiable condition at
a glance, and drawing rein, accosted
tlie man with:
“Where are you going, my friend?”
“To Florida, sir,” the man answer
ed in a broken spirited voice.
“Great God!” exclaimed Mr.
Walker, “you don’t mean to say you
are going to walk all the way to Flori
da, and in that condition?”
“Yes, sir; It’s the only way I have
of getting there; I have failed where
I was ami have to go somewhere to
make a living. I only saved enough
from the wreck to buy my food on tke
way.”
“Look here, my man,” Uncle Neal
exclaimed, jumping out of the buggy,
“it shall never be said of me that I
saw any such thing as this going on
without giving what the Lord has
blessed me with. I could not sleep, if
I let a woman with a child trudge
