Mrs. J. Vrntulrtt has had n beauti
ful fountain built ill the large yard ad
joining,pee .residence on Commerce
street. It consists of four arolies, ris
ing from the water, and, gradually
leaning Inward, meet I11 the center,
about eight feet from the ground.
Tlie arohes arc built of rocks and
shells oeitieuted together, and the ferns
and grasses growing In the crevices
are watered by means of n beautiful
sprny.
In the store of Mr. Selgmund Sterna
the Herald was shown a rare sight
for this region, a fow days ago. It
was a sprig from an orange tree of the
“kid glove" variety bearing a ripe
orange, a half grown green orange
and a number of blossoms, thus pre
senting the Incipient, the half grown
and the mature stages of the fruit all
on one twig. The twig was from a
tree that is growing In Mr. Sterne’s
yard in this city.
Will Howe, the loquacious “Candy
Man,” who Is remembered bv every
body who was in Albany four or live
years ago, Is in trouble over in Dooly
county. Ho hired a horse and buggy
from W. II. Thornton, the liveryman at
Vienna, and never returned with the
team. He sold the horse and buggy nt
Abbeville and skipped out. He was
Anally overtaken at Fort Gaines and
arrested, nnd is now In jail at Vicnnn
charged with a serious crime. He
“acknowledges the oorn” and lays all
the blame on whisky.
Nineteen gentlemen, hailing from
all parts of the country, were in the
ofilce of the Albany Inn last nlgllt,
discussing such subjects ns only a
body of lawyers, judges, drummers,
policemen and “sech like," can dlsouss,
and of course politics had to oome In
for Its share of attention. One of the
party, who is nn nll-round Cleveland
man, took the trouble to get the opin
ions of each of the gentlemen present
as to their choice between the two
great Democrats, Cleveland and Hill,
for President. The result showed that
eighteen out of the nineteen were out
and out for Cleveland; the remaining
one refusing to say how he felt on the
subject.
Mr. John Pearson, B. & W. conduc
tor between Albany and Wayeross, met
with an accident yesterday which will
probably confine him to' his room for
several days. The train was some
what late at Tif ton, and Mr. Pearson,
in hurrying from the ear, slipped and
gave his knee a twist. He gave the
matter no thought at first, but had
walked but a short distance when his
knee seemed to give wholly out, and
he oould scarcely step. When the
train arrived in Albany it was 'neces
sary to proeure a hack to carry Mr.
Pearson to the Mayo. The sprain,
though probably not a serious one, is
very painful and will doubtless 0011-
fine Mr. Pearson to his room for sev
eral days.
The stiff against the bondsmen of
Gary Pitman, defaulting City Treas-
urer of Albany, was called in the Su
perior Court late yesterday afternoon
and again this morning, but .was con
tinued on account of the absence of
Mr. J. W. Walters, who represents one
of the bondsmen and is confined at
home by illness. The trial of the case
would probably consume at least two
days, and the lawyers were not very
keen to go into it at this term, as there
are enough criminal cases on the
docket to take up the balance of the
week. A compromise settlement be
tween the Pitman bondsmen and the
City Council lias been suggested and
may be consummated before the next
term of the court.
N>J. Hhrllmnn Return, to tke Control.
Maj. W. F. Shellman returns to his
old place as Traffic Manager of the
Central Railroad and its branches 'to
morrow.
When the Richmond and Danville
took charge pf the Central Maj. Shell-
man was the Trafflo Manager, but he
resigned and engaged in the real es
tate business.
A few months ago he was appointed
manager' of the Columbus - Southern,
but now he has been tendered bis old
place with the Central by the new
management, and it is understood that
his appoint ment is to take effect on the
15th Inst.
If ever there was an instance where
words are totally inadequate to ex
press terrible suffering, misery and
poverty,that Instance has arisen in.
Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal of Monday
evening calls attention to the dire
necessities of the case that lias come
to notice in the following forcible
manner 1
“The Journnl, on behalf of tlie strick
en poor of the Exposition mills fac
tory dlstrlot, where famine and pesti
lence are to-day making worse rava
ges than among the serfs of Russia,
appeals to every Christian man and
woman In Atlanta’s borders to lend n
hand at once for the amelioration of
their suffering.
“They are dying now, ns you read
lliis—starving to death. The bodies
of their dead arc unburled. The liv
ing are suffering with pneumonia,
fever and measles, and have neither
food, fuel or clothing.
“Something must he done nt. once—
to-ilny. The bodies of sufferers whom
death has relieved, remained unburled,
nnd lie In the same room with those
whom pneumonia or fever are fast
lending to death, who have no one to
even hand them a drink of water; Who
have no clothing Or bed covering! who
lie about on the lloor of • the hut they
call a home, and starve nnd shiver
through the bleakness of this dreary
day.”
Dr. Hawthorne says:
“I have been In the slums pf New
York and other large elttcs, but I
can truthfully sny that I never saw
misery or suffering equal to this.”
The Herald does not onll attention
to tills heart-rending state of. affairs
for the purpose of solioltlhg nld from
Its patrons. Atlanta is—ought to tie—
capable of caring for its own jpop'r^and
110 doubt speedy relief will bo brought
to the people for whom the. journal
scuds out its humane cry. .,
But how comes this state of affairs
in a city the size of Atlanta? Dr.
Hawthorne “never saw such 'suffering
In the slums of New York,” and . At
lanta lias less than 100,000 inhabitants,
Their present suffering will be ame
liorated, but will the cause of it tie re
moved? Who controls that “factory
district?” Who owns nnd colleots rent
from those houses where, “In' one
rffom, eight or ten people arc sick with
pneumonia?"
The Journal states that the district
Is out of the city limits. But if His,
there surely can not be “two hundred
frame houses” In close proximity
without its being somebody’s business
to look after the sanitary measures of
the place.
The Journal lays the blame-off-fio
one. But think you not somebody,
somewhere, Is guilty of a serious
crime? Not offense, but orlme—mur
der, in fact, and wholesale murder at
that.
Somebody, through selfish 1 greed of
those pleasures tlint money can buy,
lias trampled on human hearts, ffnB
orushed out human lives in a mad
scramble for the filthy lupre.
Atlanta Is not more heartless than
other places—on the contrary, Mr
people respond most ■ readily to Oriek
for assistance—hut the same stats of
affairs Is everywhere found. There
was a pathetio truth In the cartoon
which appeared some time ago in'a
leading paper. It piotured the sailing
away from Amerioan shores of ships
laden to the gunwales with barrels ot
flour and oorn for the relief of Bus.
sian peasants, while on the sffore
stood emaolated, hungry-looking men,
women and children, stretohlng their
gaunt arms- out toward the ships and
orylng for bread. 1
Ah, shame to American greed for
money 1 Shame to Amerioan industries'
where business enterprise meets with
sueeess at suoh fearful odds as this)
Do not say It is nobuslnessof yours,
It is your business. Make it your
business so tongas there remains in
your olty or your community one sen
tion of half-starved, half-sick laboring
men to whom life is but a weary,sick
ening toil for daily bread. It ^ every
body’s business to correct this mom
strolls sin.
It is this state of affairs that breeds
not only pestilential disease that at
tacks human life, but breeds those
worse diseases—strikes and insurrec
tions—that drain the life of a com
munity or country. ' No such "plot
should be found 011 the honorable
escutcheon of our fair country—and
yet, the case at Atlanta is not a rare
instance. It is but one'of the few
cases that come to publio notic.
—Veil pins are now a toilet requisite.
The American Iaraelite calls atten
tion to the great demand for rabbiB
in this oountry, and to tbe fact that
smart rabbis can obtain both lucre and
honor. It says: “Taken merely from
a business standpoint, no other pro
fession compares to the American Jew
ish ministry. The moment a young
man graduates tie Is sought after, and
seldom, if ever, starts with a salary of
less than $1,500, and if he has anything
in him commands all the way up to
$10,000 a year, at an age when men in
other professions are glad to make'- a
bare living. In addition, he is secure
for life, as a rule, and> not subject to
those piimerops eontingencies wtifch
may at any time ruin the career of
doctors or lawyers through no* fault of,
their own. There is,'also, no profes
sion jn which a man is more honored,"

E. Wooten, 8. J. Jones, W. W. Turner,
E. R. Jones, Gen. Henry Morgan and

Messrs. B. P. Hall, B. L. Weston and
W. W. Turner were appointed to draft
resolutions for the club, and reported
the following,which were unniilniouBly
adopted:
Wherens, The political demands tlint
are to be innde upon the people tills
year to elect representatives in every
iranch of government; nnd,
Whereas, .The Democratic party has
been assailed on many sides ns having
been recreant to many trusts im
posed ; a»d,
Wherens, We feel that the Demo
cratic'.party offers the only political
relief to all classes of the people and
silhSer.ves white supremacy In the
South; therefore, be it
' Resolved, Tlint we ball with delight
tlie formation of tlie Dougherty Coun
ty Democratic Club. Belt further
Resolved, That we earnestly urge
the organization of Democratic clubs
In every county In the Second Con
gressional district and that every true
Democrat in Dougherty county be
urged to ally himself with this- olub
•with the purpose of waging n relent
less war for Deinocraoy In all pending
campaigns. Be it further
Resolved, Tlint we deprecate the
Third party or untl-Dcmocratlo ten
dencies among a large class of ourolti-
zens and that any ono who displays
Third party tendencies be denied the
right-to participate In Demooratio
irimarles or Democratic meetings,
le it further
Resolved, That we throw down De
mocracy ns the wntoliword for the
coming campaign nnd ask the united
support of all Democrats 111 this dis
trict In the great fight for victory that
we trust awaits us.
After the. County Demooratio club
adjourned a Wooten club was organ-
Izeh and plans laid for putting In some
work In the interest of Hon. C. B.
Wooten for Congress.
DEATH Olf ELDER DOWBRLL.
An Old nnd Respected Colored Minin-
. . ter Q'oer lo Ifeln Reword.
The Georgia Baptist Convention lias
been In session In LaGratige during
tlie past week, anil the following inci
dent related by W, G. Cooper In yes
terday’s Atlanta Constitution shows
that the Georgia preaoliers are “like
unto other men" when It aomes to be
ing oaptlvated by pretty girls and
thrilled by the sacred memories that
are awakened In every true Southern
heart by the natiunal air of the South
ern Confederacy. To read about It
makes une wish to have been there
with tlie preachers:
“It was n rare sight—1100 Baptist
preaoliers going wild with enthusiasm
and splitting their throats with the
rebel yell I Suoli Is the matchless
power of music I
“It. was I11 the chapel of the South
ern Female College, at LaGrange, the
other night, wheh the young ladles’
sruliestra, with tiv.enty-flve pieces,
playing 11 medley, silddenly Introduced
•Dixie. This orolieBtra Is ono of the
institutions of which the aulluge, La-
Grange nnd the State may well bo
proud. The young ladles make music
whloh has been oompared to that of
the famous Mexican band, and their
rendition of the minuet was some
thing to remember,
“When 'Dixie’ oamo out from the
stringed Instruments, the cornet, the
organs nnd the pianos, it came with
a till loess of melody and a tenderness
of association not oven suggested by
nn ordinary brass band. As the first
few notes sounded, tliu qulok ear of 11
brother from the bnokwuods caught It,
and a keen yell rent (lie air. .Instantly
tlie applause was deafening, and then
ohoor lifter olioer rose and, reverber-
ntod through the hall. After a few
bars more of the dear old song, the
theme of the medley glided softly Into
another, air, but presently returned
with the same exquisite effect. There
was the same' keen yell, the snme
thunder of applause, and white hand,
kerchiefs vied with the old preaoher’s
lint. Ur. Frost, of Rlohmond, shouted
aloud; Dr..J. William. Jones made a
desperate effort to fly to the celling,
and the whole orowd got happy. Then,
nil at once, ns If from nn uncontrolla
ble Impulse, twenty-five sweet girl
voices sang the ohorus. The song
hushed the tumult: for a brief moment
ns the sweet volous rose, but as the
ohorus rounded to its-end the genuine
old rebel sell from hundreds or fight
ing parsons’ throats rent the air nnd
shook the windows.”

Elder H. B. Dowdell died at his
home in this city Tuesday afternoon.
Elder Dowdell was one of* the oldest
amf most universally respected col
ored preachers In this part of the
State. He bad been a faithful laborer
in the .Master’s vineyard for many
years, anil Ids work was well directed
for the religious, moral and Intellec
tual advancement of his people.
He founded the A. M. E. church,
commonly known among the Negroes
as the “Brlok Church,” on Washington
street, in this olty, and was pastor of
it for four years. He was then made
the Presiding Elder of the Albany
district of the A. M. E. church, and
held that position until his age and
falling health compelled him to retire.
At the time of Ids death lie Was a
superanuary.
In Ids death the Negroes of this sec
tion lose one of their ablest and safest
counselors; and Albany loses one of
her best colored citizens.
-It is eaBy for the small hoy to
“make a clean breast of it,” but the rub
comes when you want 1dm to wash his
neck.
