And unless Montezuma intends to stand still, it is time for our people to get to gether and turn their attention to either a cotton factory or some sort of manufacturing enterprise. Thomasville’s City Council has decided to make some improve ments in the fire 'department. They have authorized the purchase of two fire extinguishers, to be placed on the hose wagon, and appointed a committee to ascer tain the cost of an additional pump for the water works. Henry W. Grady, candidate for Council from the Sixth ward, is ill at the summer home of his father in-law, in Oconomowoc, Wis., where he went for a visit of a few days. While his illness is not thought to be serious, his friends who have learned of his sickness have felt no little solicitude. It is only thirty-three days, in cluding Sundays, until the rail roads must submit plans and spec ifications for passenger stations to be erected in Atlanta, under the supervision and direction of the State Raiload Commission. It may be several hundreds, including Christmas, before Atlanta will get any of the new depots —Ex. Quite a hot race for Mayor of Albany is now on. The candi- dates are Hon. Nelson Tift and S. B.Brown. Tift, has filled the office many times until Col. Wight succeeded him, and was afterward beaten by Capt. Woolfolk, who is at present Mayor. The coming race is watched with much inter est by the friends of both parties, as the opposing principals are Jew and Gentile. Kirtland reports that the sea island cotton crop will be cut Bhort one-third and the upland cotton one-fourth on account of continued dry, warm weather. Sweet potatoes, peas, pinders and chufas are suffering badly. The hay crop will most likely be a failure. Corn and fodder are a fair average. Big Wylly Vickers, one of the standard farmers of that section on Satilla river,states that they wouldn’t make any sweet potatoes. The members of the prison com mission have gone to Milledgeville to superintend the arrangement of the machinery for the big ginnery to be operated at the prison farm. The machinery consists of three gins of seventy saws each,and when completed will be one of .the best and most modern in the state. The gins have been made for the prison commission at Columbus, Ga., and the first test will be made with them in the next few weeks. The members of the state tax commission have watched with interest the return of the different county digests and the effect pro duced by the Little bill, passed at the last session. Although no statement to that effect has been made by the commission it is gen erally believed that the adjourn ment of the commission was taken until the last of August, in order to give members a better idea of the returns made from the differ ent counties. Blakely Reporter: Mose Eddv died at the jail yesterday and his body was taken to the pauper farm and buried this morning. Mose was a bad negro, wanted by the authorities of Quitman county, Sheriff Black had authorized Mr. W.C. Jones to arrest him, which he proceeded to do last Friday. Mose showed fight and Mr. Jones shot him twice before the negro could be handled, and he died as above stated from the effects of his wounds. BELLS WANT SPF.KTIV TRIALS. Atlanta Journal. The Journal is in receipt of a letter from Augustus Bell, of Gainesville, a brother of Mark and Oliver Bell, who were indicted last, week by the Hall county grand jury for alleged connection with the Si Smith lynching. Mr. Bell states in his letter that his brothers have not fled the country. He says they are only waiting an opportunity to come in and stand trial on the charge against them. The Bell boys and Henry Towry are perfectly will ing, he says, to give themselves up when they are assured of a speedy trial, but they have no idea of lying in jail for several months waiting for a chance to prove themselves innocent of the crime. The writer of the letter is one of the best known young men in Hall county. He is a clerk in the Gainesville postoffice, and has the respect and esteem of all the citi zens of the county, The following is his letter to The Journal: “My brothers and Henry Towry can be found any time, and are ready and anxious to come in, pro vided they can get a trial or an opportunity to give bond. They are not disposed to come in and go to jail and stay there indefinite ly without a trial. They are in nocent of the charge preferred against them, as also are the men already arrested, and can clearly show it at the proper time, but they desire a speedy trial which the constitution of the state guar antees every man when accused.” MONEY LEAVES GEORGIA. Last year upwards of $21,000,- 000 were contributed by the state of Georgia to enrich the farmers of the west. “Of this amount al most $14,000,000, says the Sparta Ishmaelite, went to pay for flour and meat.” The twenty-one millions of dol lars mentioned above was spent solely for agricultural products. The record this year, it is thought will a big improvement com pared to former years. In the matter of fertilizers the farmers have economized upwards of sl,- 600,000. Last year this item of expense amounted to $7,000,000 which ad ded to other expenditures has in creased the total to nearly or quite $80,000,000 —an amount several millions of dollars in excess of the value of the cotton crop of the state. This endless chain that runs from the farms of Georgia to the wheat bins and smoke houses of the west must be broken before prosperity will smile upon the far ming industry of the state. And it is encouraging to note that the farmers are now doing their best to break the chain. If this had been a favorable year for farming the dawning of a new era would have been keenly visible everywhere Necessity sometimes forces peo ple to pursue the rule of right. CITY COTTON CBOP--8.000 BALKS. Hon. 0. M. Kirk writes from Moravia, Texas, to the Hchulenberg Sticker un der date of April 19th last: “My far mer friends, look at every cotton plat form as you pass by and you will gee the present (square) bale standing on its head with from two to four great gaping wounds at the mercy of those who want to pilfer. The number of bales in Texas taken from the orginal runs up into the thousands. 1 remem ber during the session of the last Leg islature, when the bill known as the Compress Bill was being discussed in the committee room, a gentleman from Galveston, who was opposing the meas ure, in answer to a question asked by me (one of the Committee) how many bales of cotton were made by the com presses in Galveston that were taken from the orginal bales compressed there. He answered ‘About six thou sand bale.’” And yet there are those who decry the American Cotton Com pany’s Koundlap bale, from which there is not one ounce of waste and which reaches the mill exactly as it leaves the press. Americus Times Recorder: So successful have been the cheap excursions to Savannah over the Georgia and Alabama Railway that the company has decided to run just one more this season. On Sept. 25 a farmers’ excursion will be run from all points be tween Motgomery, Albany, Colum bus, Ameaicus and Savannah, tickets good for five days being sold at the usual low rates. Of course, a great crowd will go from this city and vicinity, as well as from all points on the line. Speaking of the respouse of the troops from Savannah who were sent to Darien, the Atlanta Con stitution says: ‘‘The quick re sponse of the troops is taken as good evidence of the thorough na ture of the reorganization which has been going forward in the state militia since the first of the year. Gov. Candler is determined to get men and officers in the state or ganization who can and will re spond to emergency calls, such as have been made in numbers dur iug the past two months, in the sthortest time possible. Hon. Ben E. Russell has suffi ciently regained his health to re sume active work in the editorial department of the Bainbridge Democrat.

Hill, of the State University, has finally left Macon to take up his residence in Athens. Mr. Manley W. Snipes, a vener able and highly respected citizen, died at his home at Thomastou Thursday night at 8 o’clock, after an illness of more than a mouth. The Atlanta military companies which expect to attend the Dewey reception in New York are solicit ing subscriptions for that purpose from their Atlanta friends. Thomasville Times-Euterprise: Rev D. H. Parker has accepted a call to the Baptist Church at Bos ton, and also the church at Groo verville, and will enter upon his pastorial duties at once. He will make his home in Boston. All the tax digests have been received in Atlanta with the ex ception of that from Worth coun ty. Worth has given notice of an increase of about SBO,OOO which will make the total increase for the state about $3,000,000. That is much less than was expected. Macon will have another cotton mill, capitalized at SIOO,OOO. Messrs. J. W. Cabaniss, Samuel Mayer, N. M. Block, H. J. Lamar and G. L. Snowden, through their attorneys, Guerry & Hall, have filed a petition for its charter in the Superior court The Moultrie Observer says a young lady of that place received a parrot as a present from her sweetheart. She wrote back to him that the parrot was awfully nice, but was so tough that she had to boil it a whole day before she could eat it. Blakely Observer: The near approach of the time for the recon vening of the legislature has set the newspaper “boys” to discuss ing ‘‘dog laws” again. Until a legislature is elected whose mem bers think more of how to benefit their state than they do of how to get re-elected the dogs are safe. R. C. Puckett, a white man, has been put in the Early county jail, charged with assisting S. J. O’Neill who was sent up from Savannah about two years ago for fifteen years for killing a negro, and Jim Degan, a negro, to escape from the penitentiary camp at Jakiu. Capt. J. M. Vittetoe, deputy warden, swore out the warrant. Puckett was bound over to the Superior Court by B. C. Miuter, justice of the peace, under a SSOO bond. Mr. Thomas Walterg, one of Sumter’s thrifty farmers living near Americus, finds potato raising profitable. Yesterday he brought in a load of twenty-seven bushels, which he gathered from one-eighth of an acre of swamp land, selling them at SI.OO per bushel cash. At the same rate an acre planted in potatoes—and he has an acre and more—will yield $216, or more than the gross value of eight bales of cotton. Mr. Walters was lucky in getting his potatoes tc market early, while prices are high. Dahlonega Signal: This week we were shown a lot of beautiful gold nuggets by a gentleman who is in the gold mining business pro per. These nuggets weighed from one to ten pennyweight. He had gold in almost every pocket about his clothes. In a small vial he had perhaps a dozen pennyweights of very coarse gold. After show ing the nuggets he attracted our attention considerably with a very few fine specimens which was al most the solid stuff| itself. This man is in possession of an im mensely rich gold mine, for when he needs a little coin he goes to his gold patch and digs it out like we dig our ’taters. This mine is not for sale. MOSEY TALKS.

Editor News-Herald: It. will he remembered by the reading public that a few weeks ago then appeared in some of the newspa pers of this section a sensational article implicating Dr. H. T. Dickens, of Norcross, as the per petrator rs a very disgraceful crime near Tucker, in DeKalb county. This report, like all oth ers of a similar character, readily found wings of flight on the breath of the slanderer, who rolls a bit of scandal under bis filthy tongue as a sweet morsel, and who is ever ready to defame the good name of his superiors. But the doctor’s friends and the more conservative element of the general public who knew him, and who were in posi tion to know the facts and circum stances, had nc faith in the story, but believed it to be the squeamish hallucination of a woman, whose afflictions of mind and body had rendered her a physical and men tal wreck, and that later ou per haps there bad been a vile scheme of blackmail injected into the program. In the investigation of the case it was shown clearly that both these features played a prom inent part in this prosecution, es pecially the latter. This case was tried in DeKalb Superior court last Monday, and the evidence in the doctor’s favor was overwhelming and convincing. Judge Candler’s charge to the jury was pointed and conclusive, and clearly indicated the verdict that the jury must find, according to the law and testimony in the case. In less than five minutes after the jury had retired they had agreed upon a verdict of “not guilty,” thus vindicating the hon or of a man who had been the un fortunate victim of the most bit ter persecution. Dr. Dickens, from the outset, flatly and indignai tly declined any and all propositions from bis calumniators to compromise, pre ferring to be exonorated by the courts. This course, we think, was commendable. This article is written at the in stance of a number of Dr. Dick ens’ friends who desire to join many others of your readers in congratulating the doctor on his well-deserving victory over the would-be traducers of bis own good name and that of his family.

We have had some nice showers recently. A little child of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Broadwell died Monday morning in west Buford. The recent hot, dry weather has done great injury to growing crops, especially cotton. Some estimate only a half crop for this section. Mr. Bona ATlen is having the largest engine ever seen in this section put up at his factory. Twenty years ago the motive pow er of this concern was a mule; now it takes the largest engine in North-East Georgia.

Some of the public roads leading into Buford are being well worked, while others are being poorly worked or not worked at all. The roads of Sugar Hill district are a disgrace to a civilized community. An overseer on one of the roads leading into Buford says there are roads in the district that Borne of the commissioners have not seen since they have been commission ers. He says some men in the district work from four to six days a year while others work only one day in a year. This is not right. Our city was treated to quite a sensation last Wednesday evening in the form of a regular horse whipping scrap. The man in the case had a buggy whip worn out over his shoulders and arms. The womau in the case was arrested, charged with assault and battery. She waived trial and gave bond to the Superior court. This trouble, like many others, was caused by too much tongue—out side parties gossiping about things they should have said nothing about, and the parties concerned holding great opinions of them selves and their abilities. The tongue is a little member, but causes all sorts of trouble. BERMUDA. Special to THE NEWS. Mrs. Dr. Bagwell, of Lawrence ville, was down to see her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C.

The truste.es have received something near a hundred applications up to this time. To break the monotony of the times last week Dr. Guess bought out the south eud of Centerville. He bought the M. P. King place from C. G. Hannah and the widow King place from Johnson & Ev aus. He now boasts of the best farm and finest houses in this community. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies,and by constant ly failing to cure with, local treatment pronouneed it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and, therefore, requires consti tutional treatment Hall’s -Catarrh Cure, Manufactured by F. J. Cheney and Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con stitutional cure on the market, it is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. .J.
