The details of an araawination, which
took place in the lower part of Wilkes
county, some distance from Washington,
(ia, on the 24th of February last, have jusi
come u» light through one of the assassin
turning state's witness. Last Itecerober*
man named John Turner, formerly ot
South Carolina, was detected by John l)
Coxwell. a farmer, in the act of raping his
aixteen-year old daughter, and was fired
Upon. The two men er gaped in a hand to
hand encounter, bo til of them catting
and shooting. It was . a fearfully
bloody affray. Cornell left Turner
lying on the grass near the rpring for dead
Turner, however, waa carried to his home
and lingered for a long time. Meantime a
warrant charging him with rapes »ae taker
out by Coxwell, a ho was* *lw» charged will
aa*-uit and attempt Ii murder. The officers-
watched Turner, hut be recovered suffi
eiently, and fled before the officer* knew it
lie went to &>uth Carolina, and remained
until February, when he returned to Wilkex
county and defied arrest. He always wenr
fuliy armed, and was regarded with terro
by all the inhabitants near him. He threat
ened the life of Coxwell, and nerlisp*- othc r.
in the coromuTuly. At length on Tnt-**iay
the 21th of February, report* of tWarx
discharged were heard by neighb- r* r.rn
this place that hast since proven to h*tL<
scene of the tragedy. Turner, in a day *,

afterwards, burned, io a low. mar-diy pine.

ment telling how the whole thing
planned, and implicated all who weri
tier arrest and three others, farmers—H. E.
Barksdale, Vincent Booker and Richardsoi
II am brick. They were immediately arrest
ed. but gave hail. By what can be inci
dentally gleam d from mem tiers of the grand
i ury, it appears that Coxwell readily got
tia neighbors to join in a p’ot to assassinate
or ku-klux Turner, because they a"
feared him as much as Coxwell. Theca*
is of such magnitude that the judge ai
ncunced he would hold a tpccial session of
the court to try the cases, beginning the
Hi; t Mouday in June.
MURDER Or A JOMiRO.
Macon Telegraph.
Among the party ihat gathered in n cabin
near the old agency ferry in ('rawfont
county lost Sunday afternoon for the usual
game of seven up, were two men by the
names of Holden Caruthers and George
Bedford. The game drifted along, the sun
set, darkness fell, the stars came forth, and
hour alter hour glided away swiftly into
eternity. Gradually as the night advanced,
the players dropped out of the game,
broken, until face to face, only the two
men we have named remained. Fortune
was against Radford; dime by
dime, hia earnings glided across and
took refuge in Csro there's j*ocket,
til the last cent was gone. With the reck
leanness of the gambler, he drew off his
aboes and staked them upon the game only
to see them lost. Nothing now remained to
him but his coat, and after a minute's hes
itation, that, too, was laid upon the table,
•taked and lost. The game ended, and
here in this city the clock struck three

revenue officers for a violation of the reve

States court at Savannah. Upon the trial
of their case December 8th. 1879, they were
convicted of the alleged violation—remov

sentenced to imprisonment for six months.
It was ordered that- they be lodged in the
Spalding county jail, where they nave been
in the charge of Jailer Jones since that
time Lately they have in
terested Hon. N. J. Hammond in their be-
nalf, who succeeded in effecting their par

one month’s imprisonment, as they bad al
ready served six months of the time. The
japera came yesterday, and they were lib
erated. A purse was raised among our citi
zens to enable them to return to their
homes in Upson county, for which generosi-
they desire to express through the News
leir thanks and gratitude.
A GREAT CURIOS ITT.
Thomas ton Time*.
We saw this week the greatest curiosity
we have ever reen. \V« allude to Mr. Zack
Gaultmy. of Taylor couniy, the Georgia
dwarf. He is undoubtedly the worst de
formed person we have ext r seen. He is
twenty-five years old and is only forty-six
Inches high. His general weight Is one
hundred and five pounds, of which bis
hands and feet will weigh half. IBs little
tins
give you some idea of the enor
mous proportions of his hands and feet.
One of bis Lands will weigh at least twelve
or fifteen j. Minds. He converses fluently,
and seems to he well informed. This is lm
visit to Th miastbn. Everybody wb<
*aw him seems to l>eat a Iqm to account for
this singular phenomenon.
A CURIOUS INCIDENT.
A meric us Republican.
One of the strange accidents of life oc
curred not far from Americus. Mr. Ben
Weaver's stock were drinking from the
•ugh at hi* well, preparatory to going to
■wing, when one horse by accident i
.nl»eil a bee, which hail fallen into the
ir. from a number buzzing about the
rough. And stung the horse in some vital
•art of ihe mouth. The horse made fran
ir efforts to *ject the bee. Whether he
reseeded or i.ot is not necessary to this
• Count. The horse was soon in convul-
ions from the pain, and in a short time
fter he was stung died. Bees have a fond
ess for damp places, and if the stock trough
their hives, determine to it in great
umbers, and iu this case proved them
•selves a curse.

violence that he was unable to afterward*

A FATAL AFFRAY.
Butler correspondence.
A difficulty between Hnmp Newsome
(colored) and T. V*. Belaud occurred on
Messrs. Pope A lleland's plantation about
three miles from Kynolds, in this county,
on Thursday afternoon, which resulted
fatally to the former. It seems, from all 1
can hear, the negro Newsome was quarrel-
Dome and was always creating a disturbance
among the hands on the place, and on
Thursday at noon Mr. Beland discharged
him and told him to leave the plantation
immediately, hut the negro, instead of
leaving, went into Mr. Upland's kitchen.
Mr. Belaud went into the kitchen
and again ordered the negro to leave
the place, whereupon he struck at Mr.
Belaud, who warded off the blow with hi>
arm. Newsome then went out out of the
kiichen followed by Mr. Beland and when
Mr. B. got outside the negro struck him
with a hoe, knocking him to the ground,
and advanced upon him. Mr. II. got upon
his feet again and with a knife completely
disemboweled Newsome. The wounded
man lingered until today when he died.
No warrant has yet been issued for the
•nest of Mr. Beland
INCINERATION.
Macon Herald.
Saturday night a negro living in a small
house near the old round house in east Ma
con came over to the city on business, leav
ing his little girl, about 7 or 8 years old,
locked up in the house alone The child,
left alone, began playing in the tire and. as
might have been expected, her clothing
wa*sqon in a blaze. She endeavored to ex
tinguish the flames by jumping into a
tub of water, bat there not being sufficient
water in the tub for the purpose, she
crawled into a bed and rolled up in the
covering. The bed took lire and she
sprang out, and finally made her wav
through a window out into the yard, where
after running a short distance she fell ex
hausted and was burned almost to a crisp.
In the meantime the house caught fire
from the bed and soon was in full blaze
and burned to the ground. The alarm was
rang and the companies turned out
promptly but owing to the distance noth
ing could bo done. The fire was out of the
range of the comjianies. The burnt child
died yesterday in great agony. It is said
that her flesh in some places was reduced
almost to a cinder.
SHEER-RAISING IN GEORGIA.
Co'ambus Enquirer.
We clip from the New York Weekly
Atlas a letter from Hon. Francis Fontain*
Georgia commissioner of immigration. It
conveys information to our own people as
well as those elsewhere. Mr. Fontain will
yet be able to turn a. portion of the tide of
immigration this way if his efforts are prop
erly seconded by the people of his state.
Immigrants are pouring to this country by
thousands, and yet Georgia, one of the
original thirteen, is hardly known by any
cf them. Our legislators must be educated
to the vast ties* ot these schemes and their
importance. The south politically will be
worth little if the lide of the people contin
ue* to press northward. In April 45,718
immigrants landed in New York, the great
pn portion of whom possess some means.
The west is getting all the advantage be
cause of the inertness of southern assem
blies. With sheep lands, an equable cli
mate, natural grasses, and plenty of trans
portation aud health, we are still behind.
Ai admixture of northern and western vim
and enterprise and plucky adventure would
wonderfully aid in development of this
country.
TIIK USUAL ROW.
Columbus Enquirer.
On Sunday afternoon at the Shady Grove
African Baptist in the northern portion of
the city, the service ended amid considera
ble excitement. The prospects were there
would be a ••rough and tumble'' fight. At
the 3 o'clock service, after service, Rev.
Oliver Jackson, made a talk accusing some
of thememoers of trying to break up the
church; that they were hypocrites, thieves
and robber*. Rev. Scipio McCall was in
the congregation ana thought the remarks
were directed at him, and asked if such was
the case. Jackson replied that if the cap
fit be must wear iu This created some di%
turbance and the congregation were dis
missed. McCall then invited Jackson out
Baying “we can settle it outside." They both
went out and began talking over, when the
latter a wife came up and called her hus
band to come away, saying "He has shown
that be is the guilty party and is a hypo
crite. come away and let him alone." Mc
Call replied she was a liar. Then she hit
him with a fan, he slapped her. and the man
wanted to fight, but otber brothers inter
fered. After angry words and threats they
separated.

has a very boyish appearance, but when the
solicitor read to him the indictment he met
the latter’s rye with a manly glance It
seems that the Georgia railroad conimis-don
is trying to extend its jurisdiction over
Alabama. The commission claims tha*
when goods are shipped from West Print,
to Columbus, over the Western railroad of
Alabama, that it is a Georgia contract,
mod that the commission can take
jurisdiction ar.d regulate freights
over this portion of the Western railroad
of Alabama, which rui.s through Opelika.
General G. B. Harrison, the attorney for the
road, went to Atlanta a short time since to
make an' argument before the commission,

mission take jurisdiction iu a foreign
state?” one of the triad replied that “it
was customary for the state of Georgia to
exercise jurisdiction over lost and savage
tribes.”—Politics are above ** temperate”

Georgia, Fannin County. Mav 6.—
Editors Constitution : I desire to answer
an accusation against myself in your paper,
dated April 13th, and made by one Stew
art. said to be deputy collector of internal
revenue, and of Fannin county, Georg?;
1 see in your paper he has charged m.
with being the head of a mounted armed
body of nien,«nd that I, with that body of
men, burned bis barn and store on the 7th
of April. 1880, and shot at him (Stewart)
and his son several times, wounding the
latter. I wish the public to know the
truth of this matter. Mr. Stewart has re
ported and had telegraphed over this
broad land, a slanderous lie ou me, and I
am able to verify it by good men, and will
do so at the proper time, which is not far
distant, as our court convenes the third
Monday inst t at which time I intend to
show Mr. Siewart what a man's character
is worth when attacked by a lying
scoundrel, as he is. Stewart'swore out a
warrant for my arrest, and charges me
arson. So soon as I heard of it I wrote
the sheriff that if he had any such warrant
to come to my house and I would give
bond at any time, which the sheriff did
The sheriff lives about thirty miles from
me. 1 gave the sheriff a supercedeaa bond
as Mr. Stewart was not iu the country at
that time, so I could have no preliminary

what it will be built within the next six
months The enterprise is looked upon
with ubiveiaal favor by all our citizens.
The horoscope, at present, indicates a rail
road war between competing lines centering
here. It appears as if the public and the
press favor it, while the corporations inter
ested would prefer peace. The various
reports upon the wheat prospect indicate
an average of about half crop. Many farmer*
have been much delayed by the late rains.

continue during the month is being largely

Rome. May 11—The’tenth annual pa
rade and celebration of the Rome fire de
partment commenced this morning. At an
early hoar, the city was alive with peo-
ple. vast crowds surged continuously up
and down the streets until 12 o’clock when
tbe sidewalks had become so blocked tlxat
it was impossible to para at all. The Me
chanics of Augusta, the Defiance of Macon,
and the Pioneer hook and ladder compa
nies, of Athens arrivtd last night
and also others, including the Marietta tire
company, arrived this morning. Promptly
at ten o’clock the numerous companies,
with their handsome apparatuses, formed
a line of procfssion. and headed by the
Fifih ariiliery ba id of Atlanta, paraded the
streets. They pr* se ited a handsome ap
pearance. At 12o’clocx the numerous con
tests commenced, ihe first being the reel
contest. In this five companies partici
paled. The first contestant was the Me
cbanics. of Augusta, making tbe run of 3G0
feet and an ret ling 100 yard* of hose, attach
ing to the plug and throwing water in tbe
remarkable time of 38K seconds. Then fol
lowed the Di fiance, of Macou, making the
same run in the still better time of 37 X A
seconds. Next the Marietta boys accom
plished the run in 47 secouds. The moun
tain city boys of Rome then followed. By
some mistake or mishap they made a
failure of their run and the last company
was the Rainbow of Rune which gained
the victory over ail competitors by accotn
plishing the requisite run in 35 seconds
The numerous races were interspersed by
fine music from the Athens, Fifth artillery
and Rome bands. The hook and ladder
races took place this afternoon. The dis
tance was about 3G0 feet, aud
the race between the Pioneers of
Athens and tbe Citizens of Rome resulted
in a tie, it being made by both companies
in 41 seconds. Owing to an injury receiv
ed by the ladder roan of the Citizens, the
race could not be run again, and the Rome
boys gallantly conceded the prize to the
Athenians. To-night will see the torch
light procession a .d city illumination,
to be followed by the ball, at which the elite
and chivalry of Rome will be fully repre
sented. 1 will give you the second day’;
proceeding* in due time.

^ WHAT AN INDEPENDENT PAPER HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.
not i . nk the history of medical treatment has ever shown anything to equal the s
tne Holm«n Liver Pcd. At first the Pad was laughed at, and its pretensions, derided by wu i«*
should have known that the simplest inventions are the most important, and that because the truth
has lain hid for eighteen centuries n is no less truth. The Holman Pad has been tried by.over 1,000.-
000 pmUents. and it« success has been simply phenomenal. There are £00 to-day being used in At
lanta, and we have yet to hear of the first one that ha* failed to give satisfaction. Wo heard two of
our prominent citizens who had been using the Pod for several *eek
day, and we say truly that if their comments could be published ir. »..« , u „...
wouldresult in 1,000 being ordered in less than a week. We have repeatedly heard those who had
used them discuss their merits, and we feel safe in recommending them to our readers as the most
powerful remedial agent that is known to modern medicine. Give them a trial, and if they don’t
do "hat is claimed for them we will pay the damages.—Atlanta Sunday Gazette. Henry W. Grady

Dear Sir—While at my plantation in Dougherty county, in the summer of 1878, 1 contracted chills
aud fever, to which I had always been predisposed. Leaving there I came to Macon, expecting to have a
chill next morning. I called in a drug store for quinine. The druggist told me that Malarial Pads
had been leit him to introduce; that he knew notiling of them except that he had put one on the
negro man who waited on the store, and who' had been having chibs, and that he had no more
chills. He put on me one ol Holman’s Liver Pads. and. to my surprise. I did not have a chill the
- - — 'till * " '*
ho waited on the «tore,
At on me one of Holman’- — —, , — —
next morning, nor afterward. I wore the pad for three months, feeling better than any summer for
yean before. In the fall I wore the pad to Dougherty county, aud leaving It there my overseer, who
was having chills, put it on, and it broke up his chi’ls, aud. he said, caused him to feel good the
balance of the year. I have recommended it to several of my friends, and it has given universal sat
isfaction. Respectfully. . ., _ . , GEORGE W. JORDAN.
We have tried the Holman Pad with most thorough and beneficial results, and found it to be al
that Is claimed for it. We heartily comm n«i it.
