Lost—a fine large case of the chills. Supposed tohave been carried off * Tnesday morning about eleven o’clock, a young white man about twenty-four year* of age came to the city riding a beautiful sorrel horse. The horse was a perfect beauty, aud as be was ridden leisurely through the streets every one turned to look at him. The rider had an unkempt appear* ance, and both he and the beantifu) animal which he was astride gave evi dence ot hiving come a considerable distance. No one knew the horse uor the rider, who passing by Farkas* stable made a circuit of the lower sec- lion of the city, and coming up the riverfront passed over the Flint by Tift-’* bridge. A few minutes after the stranger had passed, Chief of Police Westbrook re ceived a telegram asking a lookout to be kept for a horse thief riding.a hand some sorrel horse. As sson as the telegram was received the police officers of the city were no tified, and began to lockout for the thief. A few moments after this a pursuing party headed by Sheriff Martin, of Lee county, arrived in the- city, and after receiving information that the man they wanted had crossed the river a few minutes before, they secured fresh teams and reinforced by Mr. Max Cassel and Officer Barron, started in rapid pur suit, overtaking the fleeing horse thief a short distance from the city. When the man was first sighted he was look ing over his shoulders as if expecting pursuit, and seeing the pursu ing party, he put bis stead at i redoubled pace. The pursuers also put on more steam, aud seeing that he was being rapidly gained upon, owing to the tired condition of his horse, the thief quit the saddle and started on a run down the railroad track. At this officer Barron sprang from from the buggy in which he was riding and took after the fugitive, followed by one of the Lee county men. Tne thief was a very poor sprinter, and Officer Barron gained rapidly on him, as did the Lee county man who was some distance behind Officer Bar ron. At this time the thief was about a hundred and fifty yards ahead of his pursuers, when Offi :er Barron called to the Lee county man to shoot the fu gitive, which was done without hesi tation, but did not check the thief’s flight. The pursuit being still con tinued, and Officer Barron having arrived in clo*e range, ordered the man to stop, or he would shoot, and the order was then obeyed, and Officer Barron was the first to place hands ou him. The balance of the party then came up and tli9 prisoner being searched, with the stolen horse, was brought back to the city. Arriving in the city the Lee county party and Officer Barron became iu- v »lved in hu altercation concerning who was entitled to the prisoner, which cuded by the prisoner being left in the hands of the Lee county people under a protest, while a dispatch was sent to Americus asking that whstever.re ward which might have been offered for the thief and horse should be field up pend ing the hearing ol the claims of Officer Barron. The Lee county party was very reticent concerning the thief, and would not talk, but ic was learned that the man’s name is T. W. McNorton, and that his home is either in North or South Carolina. At a late hour Saturday'night per sons on Broad street were startled with a woman’s terrifying screams and the lusty call of a masculine Yoke for the police. The screams and call came from the Central Hotel, which of late has be come a sort of sensational field, and in answer to them two or three of the po lice force rushed up tins stairway lead ing to the hotel, expecting something horrible. But they missed their expectations, and only four tailors in a room en gaged in a rough and tumble fight, while the daughter of oue of them, who was sleeping in an adjoining room and bad both aroused by iheir curses, was wringing her hands in agony and screaming at the top of her v rice. The names of the men are Baker, Williams, and old man McDonald and his con. The young lady was the daughter of Williams, who is also an old mac. It seems* that after the men were paid oft for their week’s work, they immediately proceeded to indulge in ““tanglefoot,” but the jounger McDonald and old man Williams did not hive enough money to put them in the desired state of intoxication. In or der therefore to come up to the stand ard of their desires, they made a de mand on the elder McDonald and Ba ker for funds to meet the deficit, which being refused them the tight began, and ended with three of them be ing landed in the lockup. The mayor will look at them through his glasses on Wednesday, but Itis glasses will not be filled as their’s were—they will be filled with justice. “Town Talk” the favorite of all oil cans for sale by Sheffield & Bell.

The members of the Albany Guards are now discussing with a good deal of interest an iuvitation which they have received to participate in the memorial services at Colnmbus. Up to date it looks as if no memorial services will be held in this city. Four gentlemen of neighboring cities have been asked to deliver the memorial ad dress, but all of them liave declined under one excuse aud another. In the event that no exercises arc to lie held here, and that the exercises in Columbus are held on the 26th, which is Sunday, the Guards will nn doubt *e k ure a special train and accept the invitation to participate in the exer cises in that city, and as Capt. Wooten is to be the orator of the occasion, the coinpauy will go over under the com mand of Lieutenant R. L. Jones. A goo-1 many members of the com pany are anxious to accept the invlta tion without reservation. The Guards have been playing the part ot hosts so long, that just to vary things they want to experience the sensation of being guests.

The News asd Advertiser find: pleasure in devoting cnusid^rab’i jspaee to what a few cf the papers of the State have wdd about the Georgia Chautauqua. To re-produce all tbe pleasant things that have been said about this great institution would demand more space than the News and Advertiser has at its disposal, 'The newspapers of the State h*v* showered upon the Chautauqua tbe most generous aud unselfish praise, and to tbe attention that they have d« - voted to it U due & very large shai> of the credit for its success. Here art a few opinions from the columns ol those papers which were represented on Press Day: ITS ORIGIN ALMOST ACCIDENTAL. Itai S. llortoh, id Atlanta Journal. A little more than three years ago, Dr. W. A. Duncan, a New York man and a leader ia the New York Chau tauqua, came south iu search of a win ter health resort. He chanced to *tn in Albany aod there met Colonel Nel son Tift, tbe patriarch of Albany. The result of that visit and of chat meeting with Col. Tift w as the founding of the Chautauqua. Its first session was held three years ago. Each succeeding meeting has been more successful than the other, aud the permanence of the institution is already ss-ured. Dr. Duueau and hiscoiaborers in the Georgia Chautauqua are doing a work whose influence will not be limited by the state boundaries. It is a grand, a noble work, of which Albany maj well be proud, and which Georgia, and especially southwest Georgia, will uoi bo slow to appreciate. The special schools, taught by teach ers trained at the original New York Chautauqua, have been in session slnei the 10th of March. Last Monday tne Chautauqua proper opened, and each day this week lias been crowded witi. a rich program of literary entertain ment of the highest order, affording to those in attendance opportunities w hich they could never bare had oth erwise without a visit to the larger cities. The advantages of thus bringing within reach of the people a course ol lectures on literary aud scientific and popular subjects from the most noted men ou the lecture platform and op portunities for a few weeks of training in special schools, need no argument to show their value. It is the same principle that is observed in tbe In dus’rial world by “bringing the mill* to the cocton.” Not every Georgian can vl*lt the intellectual centers of the. country aud enjoy their advantage?, out every Georgian can reap beuefit from the feast of rich literary viand* served up to the visitors at the Chau tauqua at Alb my.

The brains and wir of Albany wew« al*o there to speak words of wl9- dom, good cheer and appreciation, The responses lo the toastt were gems of thought that flowed from the tongu-s of the gifo-d orators like the sparitiing water from a bubbling spring and thrilled the listeners like effervescent champaign. These are but a few of the countless endorsements which the Chautauqua has received, which have not only given the great institution the promi nence which it merits, bnt ha3 made Albany the best advertised city In the State. The people of Albany owe the edi tors of Georgia a debt of gratitude which they can never fully repay, tut when they gather here on Press Day o! the next Chautauqua, they will be given such evidences of Albany’s ap preciation as will testify to its sin cerity, If it does not remove the obli gation under which she rests.

Tbe cancer was a very large one—and in order to get at its roots the entire Tight breast, weighing three or four pounds, was removed. The redundant skin was then brought together, and the patient is now doing well.

In consequence of this fact, the old lunch women with their greasy baskets are things of the past.

Now it Is upon a permanent and substantial basis, and the measure of good it will accomplish is measureless. Tbe institution was established through the energy and pnhlic spirit of Dr. W. A.

' THE WEATHER HAD NO EFFECT ON IT. Coltnnbus Enquirer-Sun. The Chautauqua althongh not fa vored with the best quality of weather characteristic of tbe Sunny Sontb, has been a success. In conversation with Ur. J. S.

A gentleman who was present at the lawn party given at Mrs. Clark’s resi dence Tae3day evening, informed the News and Advertiser yesterday that the conduct of some of the small boys who were present was absolutely dis graceful, and characteristic more of ruffians titan children of refined parents. Dnriugthe course of the en- ;'.-rtainment these bojrs were continu ally burling bread and cake at each /titer much to the annoyace of their elders. J)ue of them threw a rook which came very near striking a lady, and their boisterousnes* was only sub dued by threats of sending for a police man. This is not the first complaint of a similar nature which has come to the News and Advertiser. On several occasions, during the Chautauqua, probably these same un- gen tie manly aod boisterous boys sut- jacted themselves to open correction for their unseemly conduct daring the exercises under tbe tent. The News and Advertiser sug gests that ungentlemanly conduct on tbe part of any boy is a reflection, not only upon himself, but upon his pa rentage and tbe conditions neder which he ba3 been reared, and It hopes that every boy who reads these llnta will learn to look at the matter in the same light, and tho«e who have been guilty of reproachable conduct in tbe past, will hereafter so conduct them selves as to bring credit upon them selves and the authors of their being. The Nkw8 and Advertiser does not advise the boys of Alb.any to transform themselves at once Into the goody goody variety, who have no apprecia tion of that kind of fuff which m boy can enjoy without rendering himself obnoxious and drawing maledictions upon his own head and shame upon bis Mrents, but it advises them to learn to be gentlemen while they are young.

He first addressed ilmself to the subject of what theor- ler had accomplished since its organi zation two years ago, and the good it is loing. He spoke of the confidence it had generated among the farming class, of the assistance it had been to mm iu purchasing supplies, and of the wonderful benefits ic had thrown in his way as an educator and the com parative expense it was to each mem ber. He said that there was a certain ele ment in the order that does not beloog in it and that it was rapidly being got ten rid of. He laid down the princi ple that the Alliance platform of prin ciples I* fashioned after the principles jf the Democratic party and the teach ings of Thomas Jefferson. He con tended that she Alliance not only ha* die right to enter politict but «un*t en ter politics for the maintenance of the aeasures for which it is struggling He‘ predicted a bright future for the irder, and made a strong appeal for Alliancemen to stand together.

E. B. Carroll, of Albauy, Ga. Mr. Carroll Is a strong preacher. Albany, with aU her cul ture and refinement, is delighted with him. Much of his pastoral life has Iaien spent with country churches, which gave him an opportunity for study and research. Hence he is a man of rich mental endowments. Hia country life made him modest and he hardly ever speaks in the conven tion. Silver Beuqaet Helder*. The spring time with Us flowers has brought with it a new fad which is a silver bouquet holder.

Wiil McDowell was tbe first young man to purchase one and tbe other dear boys are rapidly following his example. It is so nice to be able to keep your flowers fresh, doncherknow.

Albany will send forth three .of her •one on Memorial Day, the 27th tnsL, to as many neighboring cities as Memorial Day-orators. These gentlemen and the places they will speak at are as follows: Capt. W. E. Wooten, will deliver the memorial address at Colnmbns Judge W. T. Jones, at Bainbridge, and Mr. W. W. Turner, at Cuthbert. All of the cities named are famed for the refinement and culture of their peo ple, and their choice having fallen on Albany citizens for memorial speakers may justly be considered a com pliment not only to the gentle men selected, but to their city as well. Besides tbe many other advantages and rich possessions which Albany holds, it seems to be pretty generally regarded as the home of eloquence. And really it Is. There are more men In Albany who can talk entertainingly than any other city of its siz- in Geor gia, and Georgia is ahead of the bal ance of the world in that particular. A meeting of the City Council was’ held Monday night, and, after the transaction of some routine busines?, went into the consideration of the question at issue between Col. Tift and the B. & W v railway, relative to the crossing at Washington and North streets. La3t week the B. & W., pnt Jdown a new siding across Washiogtan street ia order to connect their own main track with Crnger & Pace’s side track, thereby relieving them of the necessity for switching over the Central track. The frog of this new track was exact ly in the path of Col. Tift’s street rail way, and for it to.remain there, meant an expense of four or five hundred dollars to either the railroad or Col. Tift for the necessary crossing. Col. Tift did not think it was right for him to have thb expense to bear, and the railroad thought the same way about it. And then the city fathers was called in to settle the matter between the con tending parties, and after going down and making a critical survey of the situation they decided at the meeting Monday night and adopted the follow ing resolution: Resolved, That theB. & W. railway be required to make connection with their compress track on the eastern side of Washington street, and not to lay another track on Washington street. This can be easily done by removing three telegraph poles and some other little expense very small In compari- *on to tbe expense of an extra crossing, arid will serve the purposes of all par- tie* concerned. In the consldertlon of this question Mr. E. N. Clarke represented the B. & W., and stated that If they were made to take up their new track, it would force them to break their con tract with Crnger & Pace. This brought Col. Tift forward, who said that there was no reason why the company should do any inch thing, and if they did he would see if the rights ot private prop erty owners were worth anything. He .aid that tracking facilities, which the B. A W. now enjoys on North street, were a detriment to his property on that itreet, and that he had permitted it so far without a murmur. Col. Tift showed by his manner that he was in earnest, and if the B. & W. attempts to break iu contract with Cruger & Pace, there is going to be mnsic in the air. Bnt the Company will not attempt anything of the kind, as under the de cision of the Council there Is no reason for It.

Guerry, presiding: In the case of the State ▼ s Will Anderson, who some time since killed John Castello In a barroom row in this place, the grand Jury after a thorough investigation de cided that the killing was not murder as was charged in the warrant on which Anderson was arrested, but man slaughter, The conrt adjourned yes terday before reaching ibis case which goes over until the next regular term. Anderson is now out of jail on ball in the snm of $5,000, which he found no trouble to seenre. Two negroes were found guilty of murder at this term, but they were recommended to mercy, and therefore instead of death wjll get life sentences in the penitentiary. St*r«d Away. The big Chautauqua tent tabernacle has been token down and stored away, as has also been done with the seats and the other Chautauqua appur tenances. It will be sn^tiiytng to every friend of tbrChantatiqua to know that, not withstanding the bad weather which prevailed during the first days of the assembly, that tbe gate receipts and the receipts from the normal classes amounted to within a few dollars of enough to pay all expenses. And in this connection It may be mentioned that Dr. and Mrs. Ander son evinced their unselfish interest In the Chautauqua by acccepting with reluctance only enough to defray tbe expenses of their trip to and from Albany. Tills mo*t excellent couple certainly have acquired a warm place in the hearts of Albanians, and their presence at the next Chautauqua is earnestly hoped for. Tcadcre* Hi* tttai|nallM, Capt. tt. R. Weston .Tuesday ten dered his resignation as one of the board of county commissioners which was accepted, leaving only Mr. A. W. Cosby to attend to the duties of tills Important department of the county government. Capt. Weston v f resignation was due to the demands of his private interests, which having multiplied and increased to such an extent asrender it impossible to be just to blmselt and to .the connty at the same time, he therefore thought it best to resign in order that some cit izen less hampered by private interests should be appointed in his stead. He has been a faithful and efficient official, and the compensation which he has received for bis services is not to lie compared with their actual worth. It is understood that Mr. A. W. Cos by will also resign his place on tbe board as soon as the grand jury fills the existing vacancies. It is to be hoped, however, that Mr. Co3by will defer his resignation as long as possi ble, in order to give tbe new appointees the advantage of his experience in the administration of tbe financial affairs of the county.

BAISBBIDUE NO IBS. - The Coiambus Southern Railroad no longer enjoys terminal facilities at this point in connection with the S. F. & W. That arrangement has been abolished by common consent, the former ceasing to sell tickets at til’s point until it can build a passenger shed of its own for temporary use. It may be said however, that because of the abolition of its ticket office the fare which has now to be paid to the condnctor is the same as ifa ticket had been purchased. The News and A dveetiser has ex- c-llent authority for saying that the Columbus Southern and A. N. & F., will build a depot together on the de pot site of the latter at the corner of Washington and North streets. This will be done within two or three mouths. Further, the News and Advertiser has information concerning a deal In negotiation between the Georgia Mid land & Gulf, and the Georgia and North Carolina road which has for its object a blending of their interests. These companies will use the same terminal facilities at Atlanta, and their combined . lines which includes the Columbus, Southern which will be extended to Quitman, and there connect with the Quitman and Tampa road, will make a short and direct line from Florida to the North and East. It is absolutely certain that the ex tension of the Columbus Southern will be begun In a very few month*, and that it will take the direction spoken of above. The road can nos afford to stop here forever, and In order, there fore, to realize a foil measure of pros perity it mast go farther South in or der to Increase its value as a Southern connection. In the event that the deal outlined materializes, the line will certainly hare some very positive advantages which will not be enjoyed by It* com petitors, and these advantages will be of immense benefit to Albany. Albany is In It, which ever way the horo«cope of the future is viewed, aud over her bends the bow of futnre grand proportions. Editar UHMrli Lfarei Bainbridge Amid Gsneral Begrec.

The arrest of McNorton, the Ameri cus horse-thief, near here last Monday, and the return of the horse which he had stolen to his owner, a man by tbe name of Smith, did not result in alto gether as large a reward as was ex pected by those who participated in the pursuit and arrest of the thief. The stolen horse wa3 a very beauti ful animal, and it is said his owner valued Urn at one tiionsand dollars. When the horse was returned to Smith he remarked: “When the horse was stolen I would uot have taken $1,000 for him, and now!as he stands with a pos sibility of being badly dam aged, l wouldn’t take $500 for him,” and right on top of that assertion when Sheriff Martin claimed whatever re ward was offered for the capture of the thief and the return of the horse, Smith coolly offered to give bis check for five dollars to pay tbe expenses of the sheriff and others in the pursuit and capture. Sheriff Martin indignantly refused Smith’s offer, and it can safely be put down that if Smith ever Joses another horse by theft there will be no extra ordinary efforts to capture the thief. ABOUT THAT COTTON FACTORY Will Alhaar A Haw tbe Opportunity •t Getting Owe Fin T Does Albany want a cotton factory? -an enterprise that will add several hundred people to its population with the benefits that will accrue from their citizenship. Last week the News and Adver tiser published a letter from the own ers of a large cotton plant In North Carolina, which stated that they were desirous of getting nearer to the cotton fields, and offering to bring tlieir $80,000 plant to this city, and furnish experienced operators and manage ment if the citizens would take two- thirds of the stock of the company. This same company 6eems to be in earnest abdiit moving their plant, for they are now in correspondence with persons in a number of towns in Georgia, among them our lively little neighbor Dawson, which has called a meeting of its citizens for next Friday at 10 o’clock a. m., to discuss and consider the proposition which has been made to remove the cotton plant there, Dawson Is a lively little city, and Its citizens are pushing its growth for ward at a rapid rate. One thing that is significant about the call of citizens to consider the prop osition of the North Carolina people, is that they are called to meet at ten o’clock in the morning, which shows that the question is considered one of sach importance to the city, as to merit the attendance of the citizens at the buiiest portion of the day. And that’s the way Albany should regard it.. If Albany is co be come the city of that importance to which her natural advantages entitle her, a basis other than her present dependence upon the agricultural pro ducts of her territory must be laid. No reasonable expectations of future growth can be entertained as long as tbis basis is limited to such depend ence, and it therefore behooves every good citizen to consider well the establishment of manufacturing en ter prises, first and foremost of which is a cotton factory, and Albany can have one of these if she wants it. Then the others will follow.

Causal Albaay With Iu Superior Advantages Be Equal lo the Task That Ha* Bern AcconiplUhed By SnMiIIer Cities? now about that cotton factory, and other manufacturing enterprises? But the cotton factory first. The News and Advertiser does not wish to weary its readers with the unnecessary agitation of aoy visionary scheme, and it is not going to do so if it knows itself, and it thinks it does. But a coftou factory is no visionary scheme, and it makes fold to bring up the subject again this moaning, with an illustration of what can bs done when the people of a town put their heads together and their shoulders to the wheel in an effort to do something to wards building up their town. As this article is being written, be fore the writer lies a ball of wrapping twine and a ball of sewing thread made at the cotton mill in Union Springs, Ala. Comparatively, Union Springs is a small town, with only something over two thousand inhabi tants, but the mill In which this thread and twine were manufactured is one of the best equipped In the South and Is the fruit entirely of the determina tion of the citizens of the town in which it is situated to do something. And they have done something that they have reason to feel proud of, and which, at its very inception, promises to realize their most sanguine expecta tions. The Herald, a live weekly paper published at Union Springs, makes the ibllowiug flattering showing for the halted time the mill has been In oper ation: At tbe annual meeting of the stock holders of the Union Springs Cotton MUl, on April 7th, 1891, Dr. C. H. Franklin, president, made a full report which showed the enterprise lo be al ready a pronounced snccess. This re- B ort ia too lengthy for publication here, ut we glean from It the following salient facto and figures: The factory began actual work on the 24th day of January, 1801, with what, experts say, is the best modem plant or its capacity in the country, everything having been put in first- class shape by Maj. A. Randall, the dens ex machina of this great under taking. He has ably and successfully performed the manilold duties oi arch itect, constructor, purchasing agent and superintendent. It takes twenty bales of cotton ju-t to fill the various machines in this mill. At present forty hands, male and fe male, are employed at wages from twenty-five cento to $2 per day.

Row It occurs to the News and Ad vertiser that Albany offers every ad- vantange for the successful manufac ture of cotton. It is right iu the center of the cotton fields and as a market leads Southwest Georgia. It offers most superior advantages in the fact that the brick and other material need ed for the construction of a factory building are at hand and will not have to be secured elsewhere. She has un limited power for turning the ma chinery of a mill, and her railroad facilities are unequaled by any city south of Macon. And there arc other advantages too numerous to mention. The Unioti Springs mill b an object lesson, and it appears that what Union Springs has been able to do can be ac complished in Albany. What say the people of the Q-ieen of Southwest Georgia?
