Special to the Herald. cBhewton, Ala., M* r °h 27.—The county jail at this place was burned last night. The prisoners in the jail set it on lire to escape. Will Goodson, who was in for larceny, was burned to death. Other prisoners were burned, but will not die. The Herald mentioned In Satur day’s afternoon paper the accident to Mr. Fred Stewart, conductor on the Columbia Extension railroad. The accident, ooourred abont 2 o’olook, just as the Herald was going to press and no particulars could be given at that hour. Air. Stewart Is the efflolent conduc tor on the freight train that runs be tween Albany and Columbia, Ala., while Mr. E. Pate handles the throttle On tho return trip Saturday the train had reached Walker’s Station, about ten miles from tills city, where the usual drilling of cars was going on. In the course of this work Mr. Stewart had oooasion to make a coup ling between a flat oar loaded with lumber and an empty box oar. He had not noticed that, in the constant jerking i/nd shifting of the train, the lumber on the flat car, which was In front, had sllded forward until there would be hardly no room nt all between the two cars. Preparatory to making the coupling Mr. Stewart signalled theVngineer to close up the Intervening space and stepped in between tho cars. Having his mind tlxed intently upon effecting the coupling Mr. Stewart did not realize the' impending danger. Gradually the lumber car came baok and In n moment the unfortunate man was CRUSnKD BETWEEN THE CARS. The weight of the shock struck him squarely in the breast and he was se ciirely penned between the cars in an unconscleus oondition. Engineer Pate allowed the train to stand .still long enough for Mr. Stew art to retire from between the oars, but as he could see nothing of him de elded that something was wrong. He sent Air. J. O.AIorris,a brakeman.baok to investigate. Air. Morris saw Air. Stewart’s position and signaled Mr. Pate to go forward. As the train moved up Atr. Morris caught Mr. Stewart just as he fell to the ground, but before he could snatch nim from, the track one wheel of the box oar passed over both of Mr. Stew art’s thighs. The train was moving slow, and be fore the next wheel struck him Mr. Alorris succeeded In extricating the insensible man. Believing that Air. Stewart had lost both of his legs and thalt he would probably die if immediate attention was not given, Engineer Pate placed him In the oaboose and, mounting hfs engine, came on to Albany as fast as possible. Arriving here, Mr. Stewart was taken to his home oh Sooiety street and Dr. P. L. Uilsman waa summoned. In a few minutes Dr. Hllsman was on band and,made an examination of the wounds. He found that Mr. Stew art had sustained severe bruises in the breast and on the baok. He found that no bonea in the leg bad been broken, the only injuries to those parts being painful cuts on both side* of eaob leg. He dressed the wounds aa speedily ae possible, and it waa not long before Mr. Stewart regained oonsoioueness, esoaping, by an interposition of Prov idence, injuries that would auraiy have resulted in hie death. Dr. Hilsman says tbat there la no doubt but the q|r wheel,passed over Mr. Stewart’s thigbs, and why they were not cut off, not to say broken, H a matter he cannot understand. He says the wounds sustained are very painful, hut not serious. This morning Mr. Stewart was rest ing quietly, suffering no great pain except when he attempted to move. Mr. SteAart is one of the most popu lar railroad men in the oity, and, while his many friends regret his misfor tune, they congratulate him on his miraculouB escape. Another Suicide. i- Lom.

Editor Alclntosh, of the Albany Hebald, will excuse us if we take time to remark that he is publishing one of the best afternooh dailies in Georgia. From Sai.ttrdnv’9 Kvusing IUhald. The Herald has heard considerable talk, of late, about this year’s prospec tive cotton aoreage, a great many averring that it will be leBs than last year, and as many that it will be more. So much interest has been manifested along this line that it will not be amiBs to present to the public suoli informa tion ns has been gathered by the Her ald touching upon this matter. Among the oitizena of Albany who have been In the oountry a great deal of late Is Mr. S. J. W. Livingston. He returned, Inst night, from weeks’.outing In Dougherty nnd Baker counties, and was very observant of the condition of the farms as he saw them. * He informed a reporter, this morn ing, that he had no doubt, whatever but that the ootton aoreage, this year, would far surpass that of any season for a ipng period. He said that the condition of the growing brops was encouraging, and that appearances in dicate a splendid harvest. LOTS OF HOdS. In the course of Mr. Livingston’s re marks about his reoent trip, he said that he oould not fall to note dne very enoouraging oondition. He says that he visited the homes of many of the white and Negro farmers and tenants, and that, withopt exoeptlon, he saw more hogs than he has ever known in this seotion for years. Those who hove no hogs In the pen have meat in the Bmoke-hoUBe, and everybody Is, apparently, in a prosperous and com fortable condition, with plenty to eat and plenty to wear. He was im pressed with the degree of substanti ality and independence whioh pre vailed at all the homesteads that he visited, but he thinks they will need all these things and more, too, before another spring. Everybody is plant ing cotton; former barren and waste lands are being utilized, and ootton seed arc in great demand. The pres ent obiiflortablo condition Is evidently the sweet of the bitter that is to oome. WHAT DE. ARNOLD BAYS. The reporter next oalled on Dr. C. W. Arnold, Seoretary of the Albany Fertilizer and Farm Improvement Company. In answer to a query as to the eom parative sales of fertilizers for 1892 and 1898, Dr. Arnold said: “Well, I am not able to say anything about the condition of the growing orops, but I can tolHyou something about the amount of fertilizers sold this year.” The Dootor put on his studying oap for a minute and then continued: “I am not far from being oorreot when I say tbat the sale of fertilizers this year is about 25 per eent. more than last year—perhaps, a little more than that.” ‘Acoordlng to that, Dootor, what do you think will be the probable cotton aoreage this year?” asked the reporter. “Now, let’* see,” he said, “I believe, from wbat I can learn, and from wbat 1 know, tbat the cotton aoreage, this year, will be 40 per oent. more than last year. I have many reasons for be lieving this. I notice tbat the water melon orop is going to be sacrificed for cotton; comparatively, few peas are going to be planted, as well as other cereals. Of course, if the fertilizers are not used on these it will be ex- pended on ootton." “Wbat is the principal cause of this condition?” “Just simply this; The.increase in the prioe of ootton during tbe past winter. Then, too, many of the farm ers think the other fellows will not plant heavily and that they will get big prices for their orop. And there’s the trouble—they all think the same thing, and so it goes. It will be a dis pensation of Providence if the crop iB out short to save them.” As an authority on these matters, Dr. Arnold’s opinions carry great weight, and no one can doubt but tbat his predictions will come true. Comment as to what the condition of the farmers will be as a result of the prospective large ootton crop is un necessary. It is inevitable and they can only he saved, as Dr. Arnold lias said, by a dispensation of Providence. It may be interesting, however, to state that, if the cotton crop, this year, is 40 per oent larger than last year, Albany’s wagon receipts will be near ly 00,000 bales, the largest ever known. A Tlmelv flaaae.ilea Ab.ol a CmM- | erale Moauiacal la Which Deugh- •rlf, Baker, Mitchell, (•■quill, Worth, Karlv nnd Ualkeua ’ Ceaailra Shall Re Reprenealed. t To the Albany Hkralu. To-day, on looking over a lot of old papers, a bundle, brown with’ age, at tracted my attention. Curiosity foroed tho knot whloli bound it asun der, and then the past, with its forgot ten incidents, came rust ing on the wlr.gof memory. The bundle oontained the aotings and doings of the good wives, sisters and daughters of the bravo men who have passed over the river, and with Jackson, Lea and Beauregard are resting under the Shades of tho trees. Those good women had associated themselves together, and were known as the “Battlefield Relief Association.” What tales of loving sorrow those old papers tell! What piles of bandages, what hun dreds of pounds of lint the willing fingers prepared to ease the pain and agony of the brave men, who, ragged and hungry, faoed death in every form at the front. Memory hath its charms; sometimes mirth and. laughter are evoked from its hidden reoesses, but the perusal or the contents of my old bundle, jlrlng neither mirth or laughter. ‘ It is sad ness, reverenoe, affection, whioh cluster around your heart strings, of the aotive workers of 1888, ’84 and ’85, of the good women who worked and slaved for the Confederate soldicrB of that time. How many have we with us now? Eoho answerB,“how many?” They arc few, almoBt as angel visits. It is, however, pleasant to see tho respect ful reverential greeting whioh Is given the ladles of war days, bcoanse it at tests the worth and loveliness of their characters. The work of the Battlefield Associa tion ended, the doors of its auxilliury, tho wayBide home, was olosed; but not the work of the good women, who loved the war-beaten veterans, dead and living. The ladles organized the Memorial Association. In the strug gle Tor life against poverty—until then unknown—against memory which vacant ohnirs ever kept wakeful, they struggled on. They determined to ereot a monument in loving memory of thejr lost husbands, their sons, their brothers. The work is not yet accom plished, beoauBO tbe places of the ladies of ’64 are no longer known, and the daughters of the South to-day have only dim ideas of what their mothers and sisters experienced. And so the work languishes—the members of the Association are few—but to that few we appeal, to awake and carry into effect tbe resolve of the bravest and best band of women tbat tbe sun of beaven ever sbone on—to erect a monument, in our oity, to tbe memory of their Confederate dead. Awake, and plaoe In tbe oorner stone my old bundle of papers. Id them will be found reoelpts and vouobers of all and everything whioh would be of help or comfort to a wounded, dying soldier; in It over tbe remains of tbe mpnej so freely contributed, so freely .spent— Confederate treasury notes, bank bills of banks long forgotten, fraotlonal ourrenoy, and bonds of the Confederate Government. That oorner stone will be their fit resting plaoe. Albany, in tbe ’60’s, was tbe terminal of the railroads. It was, so to speak, $h»ablpptng point of tbe surroundAift counties. From Albany the youth and chiyalrg of Baker, Mltobelt, Worth, Colquitt, Miller, Calhoun and Early embarked for the fields of strife. At 'a*a«__ .
