Columbus folks ore working enthusiast!- j

committee has been at work during the
past week securing subscriptions among

it is thought that this can be raised with

A Warm Exrnr*lon.
A general row ensued on the excursion
train which arrived at Jackson at 8:20 Sat
urday evening between a number of white
men and negroes, in which one white man
•was badly cut. Knives and pistols play
ed a prominent part in the fight. One
white man came near being dashed head
long out of the window for shooting his
pistol in the face of a lady. From Flovilla
to Jackson the train resembled an armed
• rain in a running fight. At nearly every
window some drunken man was firing his
pistol and making the welkin ring.
am Jonea to Move to Atlanta.
Bam Jones is about to move his family
to Atlanta or to some suburb near that
city. Last week he was there looking
around for the purpose of purchasing a
house, and it is said thauhe will probably
take up bis residence near Hapeville. It
Is known that he last week looked at sev
eral places near Hapeville, and it is be
lieved that he has decided upon the one
that suits him. Just why he is desirous
of leaving his home in Cartersville is not
known, but it is claimed that he has lost
his grip on the people of that city, and
this may be one of the causes of his de
siring to make a change in his residence.

Brooksvills Star: Hernando must be

killed between January and June terms

Starke Advocate: Jesse Johnson had the
misfortune to lose six hundred dollars in
hard cash last week. Mr. Johnson had
his money buried in his smokehouse, and
while he was asleep someone slipped in

to perfect a complete organization of the

SAD DEATH AT MILLWOOD.
Runaway Wedding at W'aycroii,
Other Way erase News.
Waycross, Ga., July 24 —A sad death oc
curred Saturday night at Millwood, in
Ware county. Young James Sumner, 25
years of age, succumbed to typhoid fever,
from which he had suffered several days.
His body was buried in the family lot at
Woresboro at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon,

of Ru~kin. this year. Mr. Clarke of the ■
colony says prospects for a crop are rath
er gloomy, owing to the excessive rains
a few week:- ago. He expects to reap a
fine harvest of hay, however.
An exciting marriage was celebrated
in this city Sunday, proving again the
truth of the oid adage "love laughs at
locksmiths.” The immediate family of
Miss Georgia Waldron have known for
some time that the feeling existing be
tween that young lady and Mr. J. E. Bry
an was more than mere friendship, and
her mother insisted that the matter stop,
as she did r.ot desire the marriage to tak*
place. A strict watch was put
upon the girl to prevent her
from meeting young Bryan. She
was k*pt away from Sunday School,
or' which both were faithful members, be
longing to the same class. Sunday after
noon. however, according to a prear
ranged plan, the young people got togeth
er. and in a short while they stood before
Judge Burrell Sweat and heard the
words uniting them for life. The young
lady’s friends and relatives knew noth
ing of the affair until it was ail
over. The brid* l is a daughter of the
lore Banner Waldron of this county, and
the groom is a son of Mr. J. W. Bryan,
a leading citizen of Traders’ Hill, Cnarl
ton county.
Mr. Andrew Lee died very suddenly at
Waresboro a day or two ago. He was
in apparent good health, and talking to
a friend only a few minutes before he

a wife and ten or twelve children. He
was a son of the late Hon. Seilers Lee of

for interment.
Miss Mamie Strickland of Waycross,
and Mr. J. D. Strickland of Stllson, Ga..
were married at the later place Sunday
night. They have gone on a bridal trip
to Savannah and Tybee.
C. H. Lnwther is mentioned as a suc
cessor to Lieut. J. C. Brewer of the
Rifles, who resigned his position last
week.
HAD A FIST FIGHT WITH GRANT.
WUconnin Fxrmrr Tell* of a Hongh
and-Tnmblc Contest in 1800 With
the Future General.
From the New York Sun.
Marshfield, Wis., July 20.—Probably the
only man who ever had a rough-and-tum
ble fight with U. S. Grant is an old resi
dent of Wood county, Don Razin, a far
mer living in the town of Rudolph. Forty
years ago a controversy arose between
the two men, which by mutual consent
was settled on the hanks of the Missis
sippi near Galena. 111. In the summer of
1860 Dan Razin. guiding his raft of lum
ber into the mouth of the Fever river,
leading to Galena, encountered Grant in
a flat boat. The channel being n nar
row one a dispute arose. After exchanging
epithets it was decided to have it out on
the bank, whither they repaired, accom
panied by several men to see the sport
and make certain of fair play.
Razin was toller and weighed less than
his stocky antagonist. He was descended
from hardy Irish stock, in his thirtieth
year, and a clever man in a wrestling
match. Selecting a level green spot the
men opened the bottle. At one stage it
looked as if Razin would be pounded into
insensibility, and then Grant would be
forced underneath to receive his share of
punishment. For an hour the contest
raged fast ond furious until both men
were forced to desist from sheer exhaus
tion. They shook hands over the result
ami were good friends from that time
forward.
To-day Razin is three score and ten
years of age. posssesed of all his faculties
and going about his farm duties with
the suppleness of a man one-half his
years. He is fond of story telling and of
liis long lint there is none hr* takes more
pleasure in relating, than his fight with
the great American general, l\ S. Gram.
RERE’S A TRIE “l.l” STORY.
Oi!l Number Figure* In n Chain of
Coincide nt*.
From the New York Press.
Here is a thirteen story which will de
light the superstitious. It is taken from
the records of Bellevue Hospital and s
official. Frank Ellwangp r Is 13 years old.
He lives with his parents on the third
floor of No. 643 East Thirteenth street. No
tice that the very number of the house
when you add together the three figures
wh ch make it up amounts to thirteen.
Ellwanger was sitting on the window
sill yesterday counting some pennies which
he he'd in his hand. His parents said af
terward lie had asked for two more pen
nies because he had Just thirteen and
wanted enough to get a glass of soda wa
ter and take a ride on a tro ley car to
Harlem Bridge and back. He lost his bal
ance and f 11 out of the window three
stories to the ground. His skull was frac
tured.
When the ambulance surgeon from
Be’lo.ue Hospital picked him up to ex
amine Ms injuries his little hand was
clutched tightly around the thirteen pen
-1 ni<s. The neighbors gathered around as
the ambulance carried the boy away and
I gossiped about the remarkable chain of
' thirteen coincidences.
Sobrley Mini Posterity.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
A Chicago contemporary propounds the
question, "Will poster! y he sober?” Gov.
Tann r of Illinois would no doubt
trike the negat ve side of this p opositl n.
f,r he dees net see how the world could
so degen rate as to acquire a state of per
manent sobriety. Editor Reaves of the
Hardeman Ftee Press has ni fears on
the subject, but he sympathizes very
deeply with posterity if it should be con
demns! to so gloomy a fate. Uncle Hank
Watterson has no id a that his m:nt bed
will ever become obsolete, while the May
or of Atlanta is content to take the fuga
cious highball hot from the bat and let
posterity take care cf itself.

Traffic Blocked by n Cat.
From the Philadelphia Times.
A small black cat, looking much the
worse for wear, delayed a street car in
Seventh street just below Race yesterday
afternoon for two minutes, caused much
excitement among the women who filled
the car and furnished great amusement to
persons on the street.
The cat was lying ii|>on one rail and paid
no attention to the car as it approached.
“Scat! S ai!" exclaimed the motorman. nt
the same time shutting off the current.
Pussy blinked sleepily, but did not scat.
“Stop the oaf! Stop the car!” command
ed several women. The motorman obeyed,
but meantime the fender had passed over
the black cat without causing it to move.
Taking his switch iron, the motorman
made a pass at the cause of the trouble.
The cat finally moved, but did not improve
the situation, going directly under the
car. where she l.iv down again.
“Goon; goon!” shouted a man from the
sidewalk. “The cat is all right!"
"No. no!” “Don’t do it!” "You'll kill the
ca!” arose in chorus from the excited wo
men on the cur.
"The motor will smash the animal.
You’ll have to back,” said the conductor
'.n disgust to the motorman.
When the Car had backed the conductor
seized pussy by the hack of the neck, car
ried her to the sidewalk and dropped her.
But the cat was obstinate and landing on
her feet made a rush for the track again.
The motorman saw her coming and scarf
ed his- car quickly. As the hack wheel
passed pussy settled comfortably on the
I tra< k again, from where she had to be
carried before the next car could go by.

Morning News Office, July 14. I
The feature of the markets to-day was
the decline of a cent in the spirits turpen
tine market, which went off at the open- I
ing. closing firm at 42 cents a gallon. It j
was not understood that any business was
done after the closing on a lower basis
than the closing price. It is by no means
certain that the bottom has been reached,
however, and the trade will not be sur- |
prised to see further declines. The price
this day last year was 40% cents. The
rosin market closed firm and unchanged,
with a somewhat stronger undertone than
the closing on yesterday. The cotton mar
ket closed quiet and unchanged. The re
ceipts were in fair volume, with trading
on a very limited scale. The wholesale
markets were steady and in the main un
changed. The following resume of the .
different markets will show the tone and
quotations at the closing to-day:

The cotton market closed quiet and un
changed to-day. Sales of a nominal lot
were reported. The receipts were fair.
Something over 100 bales of cotton were
received at the Seaboard’s terminals to

noon. Neither side had the hacking of
the speculative public nor did either the
bull or tear faction show the least dis
position to take the initiative in a fresh
mov ment. The influences at work around
the opening were of a bearish character
and depre-sed prices somiwhat. But as
the ear.y afternoon government crop sum
mary for the year was decidedly less fa
voiable than looked for, the decline was
superseded by a sharp rally. Scalpers
from start to finish were the chief part es
disturbed by the confl cting Influences and
made nervous changes from one side to
the o her. The market started steady in
tone with prices down 4 to 8 points under
1 ght general selling, led by room longs.
Unfavorable cables from both depart
ments of the Engdsh market and optimis
tic news fr m prHa e sources regarding
the crop were the incentives which
prompted unloading during the fore-noon.
However, tear simulation on the and cllne
was not a factor. Later prices advanced
on covering. At 1 p. m. the telegraphic
summary covering the crop development
during the week came over the wire, and
far from showing a perfect condition,stat
ed that tco much rain, rust and shedding
were prominent in some sections, though
the crop as a whole had made some fur
ther change for the better. Trading la-o
in the day was active, hut smacked of
professionalism. New Orleans sold spar
ingly: Europe bought the near months.
Wire business increased and the market
finished at top prices. The close was firm
with prices net 74/11 points higher.

COTTON LETT BUS.
New York, July 24.—Murphy & Com
pany say: Cotton in Liverpool closed 3
to 4 lower than yesterday. This market
opened 10 points lower on August and 3 lo
5 points down on new crops, became stead
ier on some shorts covering but the un
dertone was quiet until the receipt of the
government's weekly weather report, the
summary of which being less favorable
than expected, stimulated the demand for
new crop deliveries, causing an advance
of about 8 points from the lowest prices
of the day, despite the fact that no com
plaints have been received from any of
the sections referred to as less favorable.
Its a bull market and higher prices are
looked for.
New York, July 24.—Hubbard Bro. & Cos.
say; Liverpool followed the decline here
of yesterday, closing steady at a loss of
three points, but still much higher than
this market. Crop reports still continue
to show a distinct improvement accord
ing to mail and telegraphic advices and
there is no improvement in trade condl
j tions. The market declined slowly until
the publication of the summary of the
government weekly report showing less
improvement than anticipated, brought a
rally. The detailed report by states shows
an Improvement in all sections except the
Carolinas, where rain is reported as need
ed. North Carolina has had showers since
the compilation of the report. There is
very little doing, the trade being uncer
tain between improving crop together
with poor trade conditions and the ma
nipulation of ihe Liverpool and New Or
leans markets.
DRY GOODS.
New York. July 24.—There has been an
improved demand for bleached cottons and
a very fair volume of business done. The
market looks as though there might be
some recovery m prices of bleached short
ly. Brown cottons continue inactive and
irregular In price. Coarse-colored cottons
dull and easy to buy. Prints Continue
very quiet and unchanged. Ginghams
featureiess. Print cloths steady, moderate
demand for odd goods. Export business
small in brown cottons. Silks quiet, but
steady.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Don't Reflect Outside
Condition* Greatly.
New York, July 24.—Those who have
sought to read in the recent stock market
a reflection of general conditions outside
were still further confounded by the
course of to-day’s market. The weakness,
which showed progressive development
during the day could not be adequately
accounted for by anything in the news of
the day. Rut as the result of effort? by
professional speculators to take profits
without any general demand for stock? to
absorb the offerings, the day s move*** 41 *
was capable of explanation.
Efforts were made to sustain the mar
ket in the morning by manipulation of a
few of the specialties, especially Sugar
and the Tobaccos. Eater in the day To
bacco was exclusively relied upon as a
sustaining influence and Anally that stock,
after having been pushed up nearly 6
points, dropped back more than 2 in the
general weakness with which the market
closed. Tobacco’s net gain is 2%. but all
of the earlier rise in Sugar was wiped out.
Many stocks show' losses for the day of
point or upwards. There was realizing to
evidence from the opening, but the first
point of acute weakness to develop was
in Brooklyn, Transit. For the rest the
market showed the natural result of a
manipulated advance in the growth to
rather topheavy proportions of a long in
terest anxious to realize. At the same time
the recent forced covering of shorts left
the market without support from that
source. Doubtless the most potent im
fluence in the reaction was the por‘ t * n *
tous growl emitted by the recogni;K d
cent bear leader from his European r p “
tirement in an interview.
The outside interest in the market pro'"
ed wholly Inadequate to absorb the ofr pr
ings to realize and a rapidly declining
scale of prices was the natural r< ** u .
There was a feeling of doubt arouse
the minds of speculator hy enef
skepticism expressed public common •
tors over yesterda>‘* was

tion. The w-*kly report from the wwrm
er burea 1 ’ on the crops showing the

np.-ed apprehension regarding that crop,
and the corn-carrying roads suffered ac
cordingly. The non-engagement of *°‘®
for export yesterday, which caused soma
feeling of relief in the then optimistic
mocftJ of speculation gave place to-day 1
a fresh conviction that a large outgo ° f
