Isabella, Ga., April 2».
—TVorfij Superior Court convened
■here Monday morning last and ad
journed yesterday evening. Judge
Bower presided in his usual able man
ner, and .Solicitor Spence was in his
usual place, to carry terror to Worth's
evil-doers.
Several attorneys were sick or off on

•were settled by mutual agreement or
otherwise, and the civil docket, while

Tlifr criminal docket was taken up

posed of. There were three convic
tions and four plens of guilty. The
following were the sentences:
Joe Floyd, n boy of 16, being con
victed of burglary, was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary. He was
a hardened oase, and took his sentence
as an invitation to a frolic.'He said
he was coming back to do worse when
Ills sentence expired. He said the
cply reason he did not get any money
was because he could not get into the
safe, and the bell nt the ensh drawer
scared him off.
Emanuel Hill,convicted of attempted
assault, will dance to the tune of $100
and costs or twelve months on the
■chain gang.
Barney Beal plead guilty to larceny
'from house, and will pay $75 or work

, The County School Commissioner
was warmly indorsed. Three vacan
cies were filled on the School Board.
A reward of $100 was offered for the
absent witness in the case of the
Kearce Negroes.
Judge Bower and the Solicitor were
warmly Indorsed and recommended for
re-election.
The genernl presentments were
sound and conservative, and rellect
credit on the Grand Jury, which was
composed of Worth’s best citizens.
—The event of the week was the
speech of Col. Wooten on Tuesday,
and the debate between him nnd Mr.
Lang, of Dawson, on the following
day. Col. Wooten's speech was an ap-
peal for straight-out, unadulterated
Democracy* which he believed to be
the farmer’s most available relief from
■oppression. He was enthusiastically
applauded throughout. Towards the
close of his speech he accused Mr.
Stevens of cojunction with the Third
Party, nnd trying to carry its points
under a guise of Democracy, and pro
duced documents which conclusively
proved it. He was interrupted by
friends of Mr. Stevens, but tossed
them so far that the effect would have
been better had there been no. inter,
ruption. He spoke an hour and a half.
In Mr. Lang’s reply next day, he be.
; gan by saying Mr. Stevens was a Dem.
ocrat, and seeking a Democratic nom.
ination on the Ocala platform, which
bas been superceded by the St Louis
IGod save such a Democrat, nothing
■else can). He then accused Col
Wooten of seeking the nomination of
the Cuthbert meeting, and then bib
terly attacked the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of the ScAsnd district,
calling them old rats, demagogues,
conspirators and sore-heads, with the
penitentiary in near prospect. This
part of his argument showed that he
was either pitifully ignorant of .the
laws of his country and the duty of a
party executive committee, or that he
was deliberately trying to deueive
those who were ignorant. He was
frequently cheered, but those who
were loudest and most enthusiastio in
their cheering were men Who are well
known in this county to be of string
Third Par,ty proclivities, and their ac
tion showed that Lang was voicing
their sentiments. ~
inentraniw tumbling about 1 his rare
under a centre-shot ffblh Col. Wooten,
who asked him, “Will Mr. Stevens, if
nominated, support the Chicago. plat
form of the Democratic party?” Mr.
Lang knew tlint if he answered in the
affirmative that it would kill Mr. Stev
ens with the Third Party men, and
that If he answerdd in the negative he
would admit everything Col. Wooten
charged, so he said that he “could not
say; that Mr. Stevens was an Ocala
Democrat.” (Although lie canie here
to make a speech for Mr. Stevens, be
was not prepared to say whether he
wns n Democrat or not). Mr. Lnng
spoke an hour. 4
When the same question was asked
Col. Wooten, he answered without hes
itation,
Yes. unqualifiedly, I will I”
It only took Col. Wooten twenty-live
minutes to wipe up the fragments
which ills question had left, nnd, after
a good deal of cheering, the crowd
went to dinner.
If Mr. Stevens Is going to have his
peaking done by proxy, why not let
mn be elected by proxy?

“Ope needs so many things I” she

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
NKinilUOJtM IIIMOKI 1V11
It may be of Interest to many of the
IIkkald readers to know the exact
purpose for which the money made at
the spelling bo of Thursday. evening
was used. There are nearly, if not
quite, one hundred Confederate sol
diers buried in the Albnny cemetery,
nnd among them are tile graves of
seven whose identity is yet unknown.
Until a year ago, two of those graves
were in a neglected condition in an
old part of the cemetery. It had for
sonic time been tile intention of the
Memorial Association to have those
two graves moved up to the square in
which were interred the other live of
the unknown soldiers.' But nothing
ill particular was done until Mrs. C.
M. Clark took the matter in linnd and
raised at lier Confederate concert last
spring nearly enough money to com
plete what needed to be done.
Tlie two bodies wero moved, the
graves bricked over and the square
put in good condition. But the work
has never been all paid for—a small
debt having remained until since the
spelling bee. That fun-provoking
contest resulted in about $35, as the
Herald readers already know. The
ninount wns at once applied on the old
debt and settled it up, leaving Mrs.
Clark with four or live dollars on band.
Tlint amount wns nt once turned pver
to tile President of tile Memorial As
sociation to be added to the Confeder
ate Monument fund.
Tliis is good work, and the lady
whose energy nnd patriotic devotion
lins accomplished it is deserving of
publio gratitude. A monument needs
now to be ereoted to perpetuate the
memory of these soldiers—our Confed
erate dead.
Will not some one else, moved by
love and reverence for the heroes of
our sunny Southland, take the matter
in hnnd nnd rest not until a suitable
monument is erected over their graves?
A monument that speaks of a com
munity’s remembrance of its heroes,
loved and lost.
I was.a good deal impressed by a
sermon I heard Sunday. It wns on
the subject of “broad-mindedness;” or
the ohnrlty that should be exercised in
criticising our fellow oreatnres. The
minister spoke forcibly of the hn-
ClirUtinn-lIkc wav in wliloli the ma
jority of people criticise the actions of
those around them. No one is secure
from the biting tongue of unfriendly
comment. Among other good things,
this minister said that “unkind com
ment, that slurs expressed in the
shrug of a shoulder, the uplifting of
no eyebrow, were the most harmful,
and nt the same time tlie most degrad
ing kind of criticism. It meant the
most 111 to the object of the unfnvor-
nble coinnieiit, nnd reflected (lie most
discredit to tlxTone mean enough to
indulge in It.” The minister wns
right, was lie not?

Other tilings ennie to mind nt that
Sunday meeting. They were uncom
fortable thoughts, suggested by a con
versation overheard on my way there,
A group of young men stood on a cor
ner discussing which church they
should attend, nnd ’the discussion re

RULES I'OK <NTOUT WOMEN.
UEALTIIV IIINTH.
Insomnia Cure.—One of tho ablest
physicians in tlie country, nnd one
who lias been uniformly successful in
the treatment of nervous diseases,
recommends a bandage of very thin
woolen material or of silk, to he bound
around the forehead nnd worn at
night. This is recommended us nil al
most unfailing cure for insomnia.
If the face,the sides of the throat and
ears nre thoroughly rubbed with line
oil or vaseline, n cold will usually dis
appear within two or three nights. It
is safe to say that one-half of the colds,
and consequently a great many of the
more severe ills of life, would vanish
if people realized that it is ns iwccs-
sary to proteot the head at night as it
is in the daytime.
How to Keep Eyes Bright.—We
gratefully hail any suggestion so
harmless as this one offered by a
Frenchwoman ; Never rub your eyes,
nor allow your children to do so fronp
their cradles. Veils are bad for the
sight, especially those spotted or cov
ered with a pattern; so eschew veils
when you can, or wear the softest,
clearest net when obliged to do so.
Never read in bed or when lying on n
sofa. Sit with your back to tlie light
when engaged in reading or working.
Do not read, write or work longer
than two hours together without rest
ing your eyes and closing them fully
live minutes. Attend to the digestion,
for did not Milton declare his blind
ness to proceed from the effects of
dyspepsia? If the eycs.be weak bathe
them in a basin of soft wnter, which
should be as liot as could be borne.
Tired, red and swollen-looking■ eyes
and eyelids are rested and relieved by
frequent swabbing with hot water.

Mr. Robert Slappy can answer tlie
question, “Does farming pay?” in the
affirmative. lie runs a one-horse farm
a mile south of the oity, and makes it
pay. In the fall und winter he weighs
cotton at the warehouse of A. W.

attends to his farm.
A Herald man bought a load of
corn from Mr. Slappy'a few days ago,
and learned from him that he had sold
from liis last year’s crop:
Corn to the amount of $307.25

In addition to the products sold Mr.
Slappy has fed his stock and bas

lasting and deadly hib .ily. It was to
the pirate class that the Columhi be
longed, and of all the corsairs of the
day they woro the most renowned. Tlie
eldor Columbus had apparently lain in
wait in vain for tho rich fleet tlint sailed
yearly to tho north. But ho had a son,
known ns Columbus Junior, who fol
lowed tho snino profession and whose
true name was Nicolo Uriogo, or Nich
olas tho Grook. Ho nt last succoode-1 in
tlie project whioh his father had so long
essayed in vain. The prize wns a tempt
ing one to tlio bold bliccanoors. Tlie
Flanders galleys with tlioir freight wore
vnluod at 200,000 ducats—perhaps $3,000,
000—and would have proved an immune
fortune to tne captors could tlioy have
retained tlio spoil.
In 1485 tlio galleys wore equipped with
unusual enre. Wo linvo the decree or
tho sonnto under which they sot sail.
Tlio Dogo Giovanni Monconigo appoint'
the noble Bartolomeo Minio captain
with a salary of 000 ducats. Four groat
galloys nro provided, and to eucli cap
tain n bounty of 8,500 golden (incuts ii
promised upon tlioir Bufo return to Von-
ico. This inonoy was to bo paid out of
tho tax on tho Jows, nnd calls up anew
Shakosponro's unreal picture; it is plain
that tlio merchants of Venice wore the
true Shylocks of tho time. A medical
man was assigned to tbofleot; hig salary
was only liino ducats a month.
Miimtu rules are givon for tho con
duotof the expedition. Tho freight is
to ho paid to tlio state. No decklnads
of tin or pewter ware nre allowed, no
currants nor molasBos are to ho- stored
in tlio hold. Two galleys wore to go I
London or the English ports,' the rest u
SluyB or Bruges. On their passuge tlioy
might toucli nt Malaga and other purl
in Spain; on their return a ship was ue
tactical to trudo with the Mqhaniuioiliiti-
along tho Bnrbary Bhoro. The Vonc
tbuis were too keen traders not to line
profitable markets oven in tho lands o'.
the infidol.
Tho Colmnhi or tho Griogos wero at
last to seize their prize. Tlioy watched
with seven ships—powerful, no doubt
and well oquipped—off tho Spnnisii 00.U'
to Intercept tlio floot of Eartolonu
Minio. Tlio commander of tlio pirate:,
was Nicolo Oriego, tlio son, w« are to’..',
of tho older Columbus. His fatlior liail
disappeared from sight. But witli hill
in the pirate ships was another Colum
bus, tho future discoverer nnd admiral
of tho Indies. In his "Life" Fernando
Columbus boasts of his futher's sliuro in
this famous ongugomont—famous bo-
causo it led to tho sottlomont of Colum
bus nt Lisbon, liis marriage and his fn
turo oxploits. ,
Ho was now a man of at least fifty
hardened by tliirty-six years of oousolos
udvonturo. Wlint position hqjiold in
tho pirate fleet, whether as commander
or seaman, his son does not tell. We
only know that he served under hie
relative, Columbus or Griogo, and that
he fought with desperate energy in the
famous sea fight of Cape St. Vincent.
Tlio corsairs, or Colmnki, approached
their prey In the evening. They waited
all night on the still Atlantic, and in
the morning ruBhed upon tho Venetians.
It was sever., perhaps eight, ships against
four. Tlie galleys were heavy laden
and unmanageable compared to tlioir
swift assailants. The Columbi bad ovi
dently resolvod to make sure at their
prey. They sailed under the Frencli
flag, and may have been fitted ont in
Genoa. It was tho custom of the pirates
it seems, to assume false colors. But
dreadful was the contest and fierce the
fight that raged all day, as Columbus
had told his son, on the tranquil Sea
ttle scene, nearly four centuries later, of
tho battle of St. Vincent—and his narra
tive is confirmed by the Venetian ar
chives. The four great galleys under
Bartolomeo Minio defended themselves
with unfailing courage.
From the first to the twentieth hour
they heat off their savage assailants.
Tho ships.grnppled with each other and
fought hand to hand. They used, we
are told, artificial fire, and the 'pirates
fastened their ships to the galleys by
hooks and iron chains. Then, no doubt,
they boarded and were at last success
ful. And then Fernando Colon relates
tho romantic incident that led, he thinks,
to the discovery of a new world. The
ship in which his father fought was
Joshed by chains and hooks to a great
Venetian galley. The Venetians seem
to have set Columbus' ship on fire. The
flames consumed both vessels. The only
resource left to the survivors was to leap
into the sea.
Columbus, an excellent swimmer,
seized an <&r that floated near him, and
partly resting on it and partly swimming,
sustained himself in the water. He knew
that he was abon t six miles from the land,
the coast of Portugal, anil madojiis way
toward it. Wearied, half inanimate, he
was dashed upon the shore. He had
much difficulty in reviving himself.
But he was near Lisbon and made liie
way, a shipwrecked, penniless seaman,
to the Portuguese capital.—Eugono Law
