Whi e waiting for the train to arrive ,a orowfi of negroes gathered

and started through the oonntry. He reached a wood raok a short while
before the arrival of the train. He flagged the train, and as he started
to get aboard with his prisoner a mob of unknown negroes rushed from
the trai i, took the prisoner from the bailiff aud shot him te death—and
almost to pieces.

The Columbus Ledger says:
“Work is being poshed rapidly on the
extension of the Central of Georgia from
Colombia, through Dothan, Ala. This
extension has been oompleted to within
twelve miles of Hartford, Geneva coun
ty. No definite information aa to the
objeotive point of this road is at hand.
A story is to the effect that a corps ot
surveyors is in the field running'a line
froSh St''.7oseph's‘to a point near Apa

in oertain quarters that the extension
from Hi rtford will be oontlnneu to St

expenditure of some money can he made

AN ENGLISH OPINION.
Predicted that More Cotton Will Be Put la

A Manchester, Englaud, dispatch,
under date of Sunday,says:
One effect of the presiut conditions
oan hardly fail to be a great increase in
planting next spring, in spite of any at-
t irapts to prevent, it. Should a determ
ined and combined effort on the part of
the American cotton states restrict pio-
dnction so as to maintain prices at the
present level, this will simply invite
competitors in tho other lands to enter
the field of cultivation."

- ELECTION DECLARED VOID.
The Herald learned this afternoon
that Ool. W E. Wooten, commanding
the Fourth Georgia regiment, had do*
olaredthe eleotion of Sergeant Brooks
nail and void. The ground for this offi
cial aotion is a provision ot the state reg
ulation* governing the militia whioh
provides that in an eleotion for a com
missioned oflloer of a oompany, a candi
date, to be elected, must reoeive a ma
jority of the votes oast. Ae Sergeant
Brooks received only fifteen votes oat of
a total of thirty votes oast, ho looked
one of a majority, henoe the nullifica
tion of the eleotion by the oolonel oom*
ground. To the rapid osoiUating'onr•
rent of high pressure induot d on the line
by lightning the tube of shot offers prac
tically no resistance, and the discharge
goes to earth. To the heavy trolley
current whioh at once begins to follow
along the path made by the lightning
discharge the resistance of the shot is
enormous, and the current is at once
broken. This action is very similar to
that of the coherer, or tube of metallic
filings, used in wireless telegraphy.
As we have remarked on several pre
vious occasions, this has been a most re-
markle winter. On only one morning
since oool weather commenoed has there
been any 6igu of Ice, and then it was a
sign only. Mnoh of the winter weather
has been really sammerish, and Boreas
seems to be off on a vacation. It is pre
dicted confidently by weather prophets
now, however, that a bard freeze will
follow the present rainy spell, and there
seems to be every reason to believe that
therropheoj hill be fulfilled.
