KILLED.

Snlnrdnv—A Frebnble Lynching.
Mr. Lee ITufT was shot ami Instantly
killed by a Negro, at Parrot, on the
Columbus Southern road, Saturday
night.
Mr. Huff was aoting Marshal, by ap
pointment, during the absence of the
regular Marshal of the town, and it
was while discharging his oflloial duty
that he was killed.
The story of the killing, as the Her
ald obtained it from a source entirely
reliable, is as follows:
When the excursion train that came
to Albany over the Columbus South
ern on Saturday afternoon readied
Parrot, on the return trip, at about
half past 9 o’clock, one of the Negro
excursionists ran into Shlppy & Dun’s
bar and called for a bottle of whisky.
Tile whisky was handed to him, and
he gave a check or ticket of some kind
on an Atlanta bakery in payment for
it and started back to the train. Mr.
Shippy ran after him and caught him,
1 when a scuttle ensued in which Shippy
got hold of the bottle of liquor and
broke it over the Negro’s head. The
Negro’s head was cut, and one of Mr.
•Shippy’s fingers was cut almost entire
ly off by the broken glass of the bottle.
The Marshal was called, and aoting
Marshal Iluff responded and arrested
the Negro. The Negro was not sub
missive, and the officer called another
man to his assistance. The two men
started on to the guard house with the
■ Negro, and just before they renched
the lock-up the prisoner asked them
to release Ins hands so he could wipe
the blood from his face. The unsus
pecting young Marshal and his deputy
readily complied with this request,
but when the Negro’s hnnd went into
his pocket it came out with a pistol
instead of a handkerchief, and he shot
Marshal Huff, killing him instantly.
The deputy who was with Huff was
unarmed, and let the Negro get away.
But a crowd of determined men lias
been searching for the murderer, and
the Herald heard it intimated to-day
that he had been located near Weston,
and that a telegram had been sent to
Huff's friends at Parrot to-day invit
ing them over to a little “sociable”
to-night. The inference that has been
drawn from tills is that the murderer
Has been caught, and that lie will be
lynched.
Young Hull' was the brother of Mrs.
T. P. Cocke, of Lee county, who is at
present residing in this city. Mr.
Cocke received a telegram yesterday
informing him of the death of his
brother-in-law, and left immediately
for Parrot.

The Ser:
lVC.NOltTON A PRISONER. ■ ALBANY'S FIRST RALE.
Arrested mid New In Jail at Dnwien.
P. C. Norton is a prisoner again.
It is hardly necessary to say any
thing here as to who and what P. C.
Norton is. He Is so well known to the
readers of the Herald that he needs
no Introduction to them.
It will be retnembered that his last
escapade in this city was about ten
days ago, When he came out flrst best
in a race with officer Bob Baley and
Mr. Frank Godwin, who tried to cap
ture him out at Cruger & Paoe’s brlok
yard.
After this narrow escape from the
officers, P. C. evidently concluded that
he had best leave these parts, and yes
terday a little darky came to Deputy
Sheriff Godwin and informed him that
he had seen the original and only P.C.
over at Dawson the day before.
“I’m gwine back over to Dawson,”
said the little coon, “and if you’ll give
me thirty cents to pay my way I’ll
show P. C. to de Marshal or de Sheriff
an’ toll ’em you say 'rest him.”
Mr. Godwin concluded he would risk
thirty cents on the little darky, and
so he gave him the money and a note
to tiie Marshal of Dawson.
The little darky boarded the train
foi Dawson yesterdny, and this morn
ing a telegram came from the Marshal
of that town saying that P, C. was a
prisoner.
Mr. Godwin will go over to Dawson
to bring the prisoner home to-morrow.
“P. C."—that’s tiie familiar name by
which he is known—has llgured in
more trouble than any other Negro in
Albany during the last three or four
years, nnd had only been out of the
chain gang two or three weeks when
ills wife found it necessary to swear
out a peace warrant against him.
While this warrant was in the (hands
of the Sheriff, P. C. went to tho house
where his wife was and gave her an
unmerciful beating. -This resulted in
another warrant charging him with
assault with intent to murder.
Mr. A. the Bint Hale IHu
This Year, dad the Alliance Ware,
house Rets It.
The flrst bale is In.
Mr. J. A. Johnson brought it in Fri
day, and it was sold at the Alliance
warehouse.
During Primus Jones’s time Albany
enjoyed the distinction of being the
flrst bale town of the State, or of the
South, for a number of years; but this
year several flrst bales have already
gone forward, one from Amerious, one
from Pelham, nnd the same from per
haps one or two other points.
Notice that the flrst bale had ar
rived, and that it would be sold at the
Allinnce warehouse at 12 o’olook, was
sent around the city, and at the ap
pointed hour quite a number of busi
ness men had gathered. Maj. W. H.
Wilder was auctioneer, and when he
lmd made a witty little talk and asked
for a starter somebody bid 6 cents per
pound. The bidding was not lively on
account of the facts already stated-
several flrst, bales having already been
shipped.
The bale was Anally knocked down
to Mr. Morris Rosenthal at 7 cents per
pound. Mr. Rosenthal afterwards sold
the bnle to the Georgia Cotton Com
pany.
Tiie bale weighed 472 pounds, and
was classed strlot low middling. The
market price for this grade of cotton
today would be about cents.

Work on the Mnyer & Crine busi

commenced. Monday morning a force
of hands, with spades, shovels and
pioks, begun to dig out the old debris
that has long been accumulating, nnd
the city carts and several wagons
hauled it off. Mr. W. R. Gunn, the
architect of the building that is to be
erected, will see himself that the work
is done according to specifications.
The work of building will commence
at once. The plan of the block oan

Mrs. R. H\ Sheffield,of Cedar Springs,
.Early county, with her son-in-law,
Mr. J. \Y. Howard, is visiting her
grand-daughter, Mrs. II. G. Anglin, of
this city.
Grandma Sheffield, as she is familiar
ly known and affectionately called by
her many friends and relatives, will
enter into her nintielh year on the 37th
of this month, four score and nine
summers and as many winters having
passed over the good old lady’s head.
She came to Albany last Friday, and
for the first time in her life rode on a
railroad train, this being the second
time she has ever seen one.
Mrs. Sheffield has a remarkable in
telligence, and is extremely vigorous
and hearty for one of her declining
years. She came up to spend a few
days with her grand-daughter, whom
she [raised up from a child, and will
return to-morrow evening. Grand
ma Sheffield is loved by all who know
her.
Worth County All Right.
From Monday’s Evkni.no IIkkald.
Col. W. A. Harris, Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Worth county, was in the city this
morning, on his Nay to Atlanta as a
delegate to the State Democratic con'
vention, and was seen by n representa
tive of the Herald concerning the
status of Worth county with reference
to the Congressional convention.
Worth, it will be remembered, has
two sets of delegates who will apply
to the Congressional convention for
admission. The ones elected irregu
larly by a mass meeting on the 6th of
June are for Stevens, and those elected
regularly by primary election on the
30th of July are for Russell.
Col. Harris assured the Herald to
day that everything was all right for
the Russell delegates. Russell carried
the county by a large majority, and
his delegates will come to the conven
tion with credentials that cannot be
thrown aside. Just count Worth as
sure for Russell.

Swindler. Expo.ed.
Perhaps many readers have been
favored with a letter from a friend
something like the undermen
tioned terms. The following is a
copy of one received by the writer
(names being fictitious):
No. 9—For the rebuilding of tho
orphan homes at Queen's square,
Swindletown, £1,000 is required. You.
are requested (1) to send 8d. in
stamps for that object; (2) to make
two copies of this letter, putting at
the head of each the number suc
ceeding that heading this. Send
these to two friends, requesting thorn
to do likewise. When the number
100 is reached the ball stops rolling.
Please do not .let the abain break in
your hands."
Here follows a list of patrons, the
name of tho lady secretary, and last
ly the name and address of tiie
writer.
Tho scheme looks well enough, and
does not seem at all extravagant.
When, however, wo come to analyze
it we find that the ball must stop
rolling long ere the coveted 100 be
reached—simply for wuut of people
to carry it on.
To make our meaning plain to the
curious we will suppose that the
chain is unbroken, and that the 50,-
109,732,422,127,398,073,648,950,330 re
cipients of letter No. 99 have duly
written to their 112,339,464,844,254,-
790,147,087,900,072 friends.
We will further suppose that the
whole 224,078,929,688,509,602,294,175,-
801,344 persons thus addressed have
responded with their threepenny
ces. The sum to a penny thus
raised would only amount to £2,808,-

Calling the world’s population
2,000,000,000 and allowing £1,000,000
for the building of each place, the
sum realized would build 280,848,-

son alive.
If we be one or two short we hope
each inhabitant of these 280,000,000,-

The
Street Overseer Coffey and Ills
force have had all they could do since
we have been having so much rain.
The streets have been badly washed,
and the ditches in which the water
works mains are being laid have caved
in in many places, making much extra
work for Mr.- Coffey anil his. gang.
But the city has a faithful man in Mr.
Coffey, and he and his men are at work
early and late.
Tom James happened,to an accident
in connection witli the fire Saturday
night. He was standing on the tender
of Defiance engine ns it was being
pulled along the sidewalk, and when
it reached the corner of Jefferson and
Commerce streets, he stooped over to
adjust some part of the machinery,
nnd the wheel struck his forehead,
tearing off a piece of skin, nnd grind
ing a lot of grit into the cut. it didn’t
keep him from getting first water on
the fire though, and now tile hurt is
getting along ail right.
The ditch in which the waterworks
mains have been laid on Washington
street, caved in under the street rail
road tracks in Sandy Bottom during
the heavy rain on Sunday afternoon,
and Mr. J. H. Coffey, the active and
efficient Street, Overseer, looked up
some of his men ] and went right to
work on it.
Mrs. E. H. Musk, the mother of the
Messrs. A. W. nnd Walter Muse, of

sad news yesterday. Mr. Walter Muse
was already in Atlanta, whither he
had gone for a summer vacation for

that happened yesterday afternoon.
About half after four o’clock Mr,
Kroeber nnd Mr. S. A. Atkinson ,w..,
engaged in a friendly tussle, at the II
& W. depot, when by some means, tile
former gentleman’s foot slipped, and
he fell to the floor, his shoulder strik

Dr. Hugo Robinson was summoned
and attended to the injury, and Mr,
Kroeber is now doing well.
We hnve had no sickness of any con,
sequence In Albany sofar this summer,
yet our people are leaving home in un
usually large numbers. Some go “just
for a change,” some for pleasure, oth
ers for a rest, and others still because
it is considered fashionable to run off
somewhere for a while during the
summer season. But perhaps the true
explanation of the increasing summer
exodus, is to be found in the fact that
there are more of our people who can
afford to take a trip off now than ever
before. And this leads us right up to
the conclusion that prosperity is on
the increase among the people of A1
bany.

Prof. A. W.Van Iloose, now principal
of the Gainesville Female Academy.has

giving him the privilege of appointing
some girl from Dougherty county to

Prof. Van Iloose graduated from
Athens with the class of ’82, and is
refined gentleman and a cultured
teacher.
His offer will reduce the expenses of
whoever the fortunate appointee may

had a talk with Mr. Pope, which was
followed by the letter making the gen

As a matter of fact there is scarce
ly any connection between aristoc
racy, even democratic aristocracy,
and a good profile. The more com
plete the system of caste, the more
absolutely it is dissevered from any
thing relating to external appear-
anco. The social inferior looks up to
the superior as one of Dickens’ “rev
erential wives" looks up to her hus
band, with a reverence not impaired
by any homeliness of features. Rufus
Choato said of Chief Justice Shaw, of
Massachusetts, who was one of tho
plainest of men, “I feel toward him

ward his idol; ho sees that lie is ugly,

A clphor dispatch is simply a dis

ply an arrangement between two or
moro persons by which certain
agreed upon words or signs are used
instead of the real words. There are
thousands of ciphers in use; practi
cally every business house has its
own cipher; every department of
the government has its cipher, of

private persons hnve ciphers. There

years old. But he hod constructed a
system which he called his "Andro-
meter,” by which the life of a man
up to seventy years was carefully
mapped out with a view to his best
education and practical virtues.
Thus from one year old up to ten
the child was to attend to speaking
and pronunciation, spelling, reading
and repeating tiie grammar of his
own tongue, morals aud religion,
natural history with experiments,
dancing, music m;d drawing. Be
tween ten and fifteen he was to
learn the history of his own country,
Latin and Greek, French and Italian
(German in 1774 not being regarded
os important). At fifteen he was to
make translations, write composi
tions in prose and verse, otc., and
from that ago up to twenty was to
study rhetoric and law. history und
mathematics, with logic end decla
mation thrown in.
From twenty to twenty-five the
andrometer man woe to study phi
losophy und politics, ancient oratory,
etc., and at twenty-five begin travels
and cultivate conversation. At thir
ty he was to enter public life, having
previously made speeches, studied
Btate affairs and advanced in history,
law and eloquence. “I am fully con
vinced," he wrote, at the ago of
thirty-four, to Lord Althorpe, “that
an Englishman’s real importance in
his country will always he in a com
pound ratio of his virtue, his knowl
edge and his eloquence, without all of
which qualities little real utility can
result from oitherof them apart."
He also thought that “a virtuous
and knowing man, who has no nat
ural impediment, may by habit ac
quire perfect eloquence. ” Lord Gran
by, however (the famous “markis”),
“will never bo eloquent until he is
less modest.” And then, in 1.777,
while Chatham, Fox and Burke were
all in parliament, Jones grieves “that
our senate is dwindled into a school
of rhetoric, where men rise to dis
play their abilities rather than to de
liberate, and wish to he admired
without lioping to convince.”
But to go on with our andrometer.
At thirty-five tlu “civil knowledge"
is to he “mature” and the “elo
quence perfect;” from that age to
forty-five “notional rights" are de
fended, “the learned protected, the
virtuous assisted,'science improved,
fine arts patronized aud laws enacted
and supported.” Tho nndromoter
man, liuving done all this, at forty-
five attertds to “tho government and
his family, education of his children,
firmness as a patriot and virtue ns a
citizen, ” the last culminating at fifty
years. Botweon fifty and fifty-flvo
he is to compose historical, orator
ical, philosophical,political nnd math
ematical works, aud from fifty-fivo
to sixty “continue former pursuits."
At sixty ho would bo&hi to enjoy
the fruits of liis labors— “a glorious
retirement, an amiable family, uni
versal respect and consciousness of a
virtuous life.
Sir William Jones (limsolf novor
got into parliament, nor did ho at
tain tho fifty years, dying in India
at tho ugo of forty-eight in 1794.
But he was vigilant as a magistrate
firm as a patriot and virtuous ns a
citizen, and he composed most of the
works lie mentioned. Indued, “being
made perfect in a short time, ho ful
filled a long time.” Ho was not
without tho Englishman’s desire for
money, nnd said by tho time he was
twenty-eight he hoped to ho worth
