k THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, FEBHUAKY 7, 1882. THE LAND WE LIVE IN. WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE DOING, SAVING AND THINKINO. Court Week In Dawaon—A Conviction for Murder- Fratricide in Cbickaaawhatchee— Returned from Cube—Batteree et tbe Cede Mlnee— Christian lt-neton In Decatur. Ai.rany, January SI.— [Special.]—The opening of the new year, and with it the lay ing of plans and making preparations to carry one safely through it, have not been thus far attended with much to encourage the planters and people generally of this section. Al though a full month has elapsed, and one which contained more days of good open, plowing and working weather, titan was ever experienced during a January before, many of our best planters are still without hands. Others have only a small quota of the number they want, while very few, so far as the writer is informed, have been so fortunate as to secure all they need, or could employ to advantage. And the worst of it is that the trouble this year, in this country at least, does not appear to be owing, as heretofore, to re luctance or backwardness on tire part of the fr'iodmcn to contract. Necessity soon over comes obstinacy in this particular, and sooner or later drives the negro to the field. But one very serious trouble is that since Christmas so many of the freedmen have left the county, carried off by the promise of higher wages offered them by the many turpentine distil lers on the lines of the Brunswick and Albany and the Savannah, Florida and Western rail roads. This new industry, entirely unknown to tli is section a few years since, has assumed immense proportions, and new farms or orchards are being opened every day. It is estimated that fully five hundred freedmen, probably more, all able bodied, have left Dougherty county alone for this field of labor since Christmas. Whether this be, or be not ultimately for the good of tlic county, as to which opinions vary, it is cer tain that it is working a very serious present inconvenience. Again, the disastrous failure of Welch & Bacon, which occurred a little more than one year ago, has l>y no means spent its force, so far as its effects on tlio con dition and prosperity of tlic southern planter in this immediate section arc concerned. In some respects it may be said to be c/cn more seriously felt this year than it was the last, particulHriy in that its 1 tendency has been to make the warehousemen and commission merchants more excessively cautious and cos live in the matter of extending credit, where credit, despite its abuse, must he had, or things come to a dead stop altogether. The higher prices of stock and provisions this year, as compared with any recent proceeding year, is another formidable drawback with which our planters have to contend, and taken alto gether, the outlook for the farming interests about here this year, is not altogether lovely, Our doctors have been called on to do a great deal of vaccination in and around A1 hnny witliinMhe past few weeks. Dawson, January 29.—[Special.]—The su perior court of this county adjourned yester- d ty until the next regular term in May, as Judge Hood is too unwell to preside next week, and Judge L. P. D. Warren could not remain here to hold the court another week The grand jury at this term found a consider able number of “true bills,” and among the lot is an indictment charging J. E. Moreland T. D. Kennedy and J. W. Beverly with the offense of murder, the supposed victim being a negro, Mark Thompson, who mysteriously disappeared last November after he had been forcibly taken out of our town by the parties abovo named. These three young men have hitherto stood well in the community where they have resided for many years, and our people all regret that the circumstances in the case indicate that the ne gro must have been foully dealt with.- A most unfortunate fratricide occurred last Friday evening in the valley of Cliickasaw- batclicc, in the third district of this county. Willie Martin, a lad not quite fourteen years of age, shot and instantly killed his half- brother, Mr. Benjamin F. Gullctt, a young man about twenty-nine years old. The fatal hall entered the left temple of Mr. Gullett and his death resulted in a very few minutes. When Willie realized the awful consequences of his boyish prank, he became almost frantic with grief and consternation. It is the old sad story of “not knowing the gun was loaded.” Tlic weapon was a small rifle, which young Martin had been handling; and lie states that he didn't know it was loaded when he pointed it and snapped it (as he thought) at his brother. The sad event is universally deplored, as Mr. Gullett was high iy esteemed by his acquaintances and the main stay of his widowed mother. He was a nephew of Dr. Jos. A. Eve, of Augusta, and brother-in-law of Rev. L. H. Green, of the south Georgia conference. He was a warm personal friend of your correspondent. J aster, January 30.—[Special].—The work men on the railroad bridge across the high- tower, near Canton, have announced that the bridge will be safe for trains to cross this week. Yesterday your correspondent vis ited the convict camp on the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, and it being Sunday the convicts were all loose in the stockade, and seemingly were enjoying theipselvcs. In eom- B with Captain Philips lie visited all the lings. The two main buildings are riven ty-six by eighty feet in dimensions. In the oenter of each is an aisle with bunks on either side supplied with plenty of straw and three double blankets to tbe bunk. In these build ings tbe convicts sleep. The cracks are well daubed with mud, thus making it quite com fortable within. The convicts bear all signs of being well cared for. They have plenty to eat and wear, and are worked moderately— with the exception of the men who came to the camp diseased, all arc in very good health. There are about forty who came* to the camp diseased, some of whom have not done a day’s work since their arrival. Tbe lessees have not had their quota of able bodied men, but certainly they have theirshare of the invalids and dead beats. However, taking into con sideration the conveniences that have been arranged at this camp for the benefit of the sick probably it is the place the poor souls ought to have been sent. The hospital is sup plied with a heating stove, bunks, mattresses and plenty blankets and pillows. Canton, January 30.—[Special.]—Deputy Sheriff Wilford, of Forsyth county. ' ana Messrs. Pruett and Edwards, of Dawson cotanty, came into town late this evening in scorch of one Taylor, alias several names, who early last Friday morning shot and killed Mr. Webb Williams at some mine near the line of Dawson, Cherokee and Forsyth coun ties. The facts regarding this affair as I can best learn them are that some five or six men were testing for gold along the line of the cO'inties named and on last Friday Taylor and Williams became engaged in a dispute which led to very hot words. Taylor left the men and went near by to a neighboring house borrowed a rifle and returned. When he came back Williams was sitting on a log, and without any notice Taylor raised the rifle and fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomen and causing almost instant death. Taylor immediately left. The men in their excite ment did not think to arrest him. and it was not until late in the evening that search was made, which resulted in finding him not. The men above mentioned are now in search of him. Dalton, January 31.—[Special.]—Yesterday morning about 8 o’clock it commenced to snow, continuing all day. The ground was wet, and it did not snow to any depth, as it melted very fast. About dark it commenced raining and sleeting, continuing all night. To-day there is very little of the snow to be seen. The immortal “J. N.” is in the city, raising the veil and removing the pressure. Hon. H. 8. Taylor and family, of Toledo, O., have located in our city. Mr. D. C. Bryant, of the firm of Kenner & Bryant, who has been ill for the past few days, is recovering. An derson Comer left for Jonesboro. Ga., yester day morking to take charge of a position of fered him on the railroad works, near that place. Miss Louella Shumate, of Atlanta, is visiting her cousin. Miss Katie Shumate, at this place. Misses Mattie and Lelia Lowry returned from Cleveland last evening. Decatur, January 30.— [Special.]— 1 The first union service of the three congregations here was held yesterday at the Methodist church. Rev. D. Frazer preached a fine discourse on Christian Prudence.” The next service will be held in the Baptist church on tlic 5th Sun day in April, Rev. W. D. Heath preaching the sermon. Mr. James G. Boykin lias been elected librarian of the Baptist Sunday-school. Public attention is now drifting to the construction of a narrow gauge railroad via the turnpike, Decatur, Clarkston, Stone Mountain to Panola factory, connecting with a railroad running from Logansvllle via Lithoniu. R. M. Clarke is suggested for presi dent, a charter having been granied several years ago. It would be a bonanza for the granite companies at Stone Mountain and Lithonia. Ecfaula, Ala., January 31.—[Special.]— Jake Standifer committed* suicide here this morning by shooting himself through the head. It appears that he had been drinking for several days, and this morning evinced signs of a deranged mind. He went into a bar-room on lower Broad street, kept by a Mr. Carmichael, and made or threatened an assault upon Carmichael with a pistol, who produced a knife in defense. Shortly after tliisStandiferjhad an altercation with a negro. He then went into a hack room of the bar room and seated himself on a bed and shot himself. No cause is known for the suicide, except his quarrel with Carmichael, and it is not supposed he could have taken his life for this if he had not been crazy from drink. He was twenty-two or three years old, and a butcher. * Athens, January 30—[Special.]—There was a snow storm here Monday afternoon, and last night a heavy sleet, doing much damage to trees and shrubbery. Many of our houses having tin roofs are badlv flooded by the melting snow. Owing to* some slight defect in the boiler of the engine of the North eastern railroad, (as I am informed) there was no train over this railroad to-day, nor will there be until to-morrow afternoon, thus causing the stoppage of six trains running over tills road, giving great inconvenience and loss to our city. Many of our citizens are greatly incensed at the manner in which Athens is treated by the Richmond and Dan ville railroad. Albany, January 29. — [Special.] — The News and Advertiser this morning announced a change both in ownership and partnership, Mr. W. H Partridge, proprietor, selling out his interest tp H. M. McIntosh, the present editor, and J. G. Spotswood, his associate, re tiring. Mr. McIntosh takes in with him as partner, Mr. A. Miller, who has been con nected with the paper as foreman for a num ber of years past, and one of the most prac tical and experienced printers to be found any where, besides being a man of more than ordinary intelligence and sagacity. MADisoN.Februaryl.-[Special.]-The elegant two-story brick building in the city, known as the Georgia female college building* was burned last night at 12 o'clock. The lost to the citv is almost irreparable. A small insurance o*f $1,000 in the Southern Mutual, of Athens, was upon the building. The tire caught, it is pre suiucd, from a defective flue. All the valua ble apparatus and furniture belonging to the school was lost. Mrs. N. C. Brown, who lives in the house, lost very heavily of her house hold furniture. No bodily damage happened to any one. Gainesville, January 31.—[Special.]—Ev ervthing here is covered with the heaviest sleet we have had for years. It rained hard all last night and froze as fast as it fell. Shade trees and shrubbery are badly damaged. Our street cars are not running to-day on account of the sleet. Uncle Dan Quattlebaum, of whose sickness I wrote some days since, is rapidly convalescing. He is now 'sitting up. This information will be gratifying to his numerous friends in Georgia and South Caro lina. C-edartown, January 27.—[Special.]—Mr. J. B. Turner, of the penitentiary department, left here on the 7 o’clock train this morning wi th Charles Ratteree, who goes to Dade coal mines to begin his ten years’ sentence for an assault with intent to murder, recently com mitted in Haralson county. A party of hunters from this place brought in a "fine buck this evening. Mr. J. S. Wood's shot did the work. He occupied a stand near the Cherokee railroad, some four miles east of town. Fort Valley, January 2S,—[Special.]—The Fort Valley agricultural society held a meet ing to-day ana elected the following delegates to attend the next convention: ForFebru ary—Major Sterling Neil, Elbert Fogan. F. Troutman. For August—John A. Houser. H. A. Mathews, and W. E. Collier The elec- tion held on the 28th inst., on the fence ques tion, is to be contested. Our town is build ing up the waste places caused by fire. Elbebton, January 31.—[Special.]—Yester day evening the store of Mr. A. G. Hitchens, in this place, was closed. A creditors bill having been tiled and a receiver appointed Mr. E. A. Cason was appointed receiver. He gave the bond and entered upon the discharge of his duties at once. Mr. Hitchens’s liabili ties are about $12,000. The amount of his assets has not been ascertained as yet. The heavy sleet last night destroyed a'great many shade trees in this place. Elbebton, January 29.—[Special.]—Mr. Phil W. Davis, who has been to the island of Cuba, to investigate a railroad claim, returned yesterday. He was successful in his business transaction, and gives a glowing account of the country. Merchants are requiring far mers to give mortgages on real estate before advancing supplies to make crops. The prospect is now that gnano sales in this county won’t be more than half as large as last year. Augusta, Ga.,January 31.—[Special.]—Con siderable excitement in* Lincoln county, lately growing ont of an attempt to bum the resi dence of P. A. Cox, within four miles of Lin- colnton. Six colored men were arrested. Three were discharged and Harry Kennedy, John Harry and Henry Wright were impris oned. Firmness of county officials saved the prisoners from lvnching. Apprehension is still felt for their lives. Madison, January 31.—[Special.]—Mr. Eli jali Boswell, an old citizen of this county, living about twelve miles south ot Madison, died last Saturday morning at three o’clock. Hampton, Ga., January 28.—[Special.]—A false rumor has been put in circulation that the smallpox is here. There is no truth in it. What the Papers Snj. A BIG CONFLAGRATION. Brunswick Appeal. We have bad another conflagration, this time sweeping the entire block occupied by Messrs. Michelson & Bro., H. L. Harris, E. Kaul, and J. Lissner. The fire was discovered by policeman Moore between three and four o’clock yesterday morning, and the alarm sounded. After some delay the Oceanics took position at the upper tank on Newcastle street, and. having steamed up, undertook to throw a stream on the burning build ings, but, for some reason unknown to the writer, no stream came, and the buildings continued to bum. We have heard a score of reasons assigned, but as the matter is to undergo investigation we forbear givingany of them. There is evidently some thing wrong somewhere, and unless a remedy be found we might as well have it understood that we have no steam fire engine. This is too important a matter to mince. Let the xiwers that be get at the bottom facts and iring them out. This is the second time since we have had a steamer that the expectations of the people, whose money has been invested in said machine, have been disappointed. Below we give an estimate of the losses in round numbers, which are as follows: J. Michelson, two stores and stock, $25,000; A. G. Osgood, store, $2,500; H. L. Harris, stock, $4,000; J. Lissner. store and stock, $5,500; K. Kaul, $6,000; J. M. Dexter. C. P. Goodyear and W. E. Kav, office furniture, books, etc., about $1,000; total, $44,000. Of this amount Messrs. Michelson <fc Bro. had $13,000 insurance on buildings and stock, A G. Osgood, $!,000 on building; H. L. Harris, $1,000 on stock; E. Kaul, $3,000 on stock; J. Lissner, $1,000 on building; Messrs. Dexter and others, probably $500; in all, about $19. 500. Of these figures $7,500 was in companies represented by Mr. J. M. Dexter, viz: Fire Assurance of Philadelphia, Manhattan, Co lumbus, of Mississippi, and - Watertown, of New York; $S,750 in ’companies represented by Mr. T. O’Connor, Jr., viz: Underwriters, Liverpool and London and Globe, and British American, and tiic remainder by the London Assurance, C. H. Champion, of Savannah, agent. Of the goods embraced in the above sched ule of figures we would say that Michelson & Bro. had saved a large portion of their grocery stock and part of their dry ggods; J. Lissner about halt of his, and Messrs. Harris and Kaul nothing at all—in fact, Mr. Harris barely escaped with his life; the fire having origi nated, as well as can be judged, between his store and the dry goods store of Messrs. Mich elson & Bro., and being a sound sleeper, could not be aroused until suffocated by the smoke. From the lateness of the hour* and the position of the fire when discovered, the presumption is that, it must have been the work of an incendiary, whether for gain or revenge wo are unable tosay.

WOMAN WILT) AND CRAZY IN DOUGHERTY, Rambling Through the Wood*. Speaking a Strange Language, and Avoided by the People aa Crazy—A Frenoh Interpreter Find* a Cine to the Strange Mystery. Albany News and Advertiser. It becomes our duty this morning to recite a storj to the readers of the News and Adver tiser that finds its parallel only in fiction. It is so startling and horrible that we fear the credulity of our readers will be taxed to a great extent, Wc arc incompetent to clothe the story in the language which a sensational writer for the press would employ. In the hands of a metropolitan sensationalist -it- vrould be, to use common parlance, a picnic. We give the bare recital of facts, and they are as follows: While walking in the woods near an unfre quented swamp on his place about ten miles from Albany, on Friday morning, Mr. J. J. Hall came upon a most harrowing spectacle— that of a tattered, emaciated, crazy woman. Ashe approached the creature she shrank away and endeavored to plunge into the woods. Sir. Hall succeeded, however, partly by force and partly by persuasion, in getting her to the house. Her utterances were in a foreign and incomprehensible language to Mr. Hall, but he soon knew that food was the first thing needed. This was pi ced before her, and she commenced eat ing voraciously, and finally became so absolutely ravenous that the re maining food was-taken away. When found she had in her hands a short stick, upon which she leaned, and a gourd filled with dried mushrooms and toadstools. Mr. Hall took care of the unfortunate until yesterday morning. She obeyed every command, of course, given by motions, like u child. Y terday morning the kind man started with his charge to Albany. Here was her first resistance. She did'n’t want to get in the buggy, and resisted strenuously. She was finally overpowered ar.d brought* into town, reaching here about noon. Mr. Hall turned her over to Sheriff Edwards, who reported to Ordinary Odum. Nobody could understand a word the poor thing said, but tltc language she used 5vas quickly SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR.

The only word intelli gible was “Eufanla,” and this she used a great number of times. Soon an interpreter was procured in the person of the man who has ehaqjc of the little street musicians now in the city, and the information received was startling and horrible. As soon as the first word of her native tongue was spoken her face brightened, and thejvacant look from her eyes betokening insanity vanished. She talked rapidly and with great volubility, and the interpreter assured every one that her sentences were connected and ra tional. This is the sad story as the inter preter related it: Her name, as pronounced, by her, spelled according to sound, is “Po-le- grah.” She is a native of France, and lately had been living in Pcusacola, Florida. Her husband was a Freneli cook, and Christinas left Pensacola with her to go to Enfaula to ac cept a situation there. At some station where the travelers had to change cars, her husband disappeared from her. All search by her for him was in vain, and the conclusion torced itself upon her that she was alone, deserted and penniless. Crazed and desperate, she took to the yvoods, wandering aimlessly about as best she could, hoping., and praying that her footsteps' would be guided to her husband in Eu- faula. At this part of her narrative she broke down, and weeping, distressingly said to the interpreter, between sobs: “1 want to go to (tfy ftusband aurtVlie.”-' When* asked for the probable cause of her desertion by her hus band, she said that slanderers had turned him against her by saying she was a snuff user and whisky drinker. She said she had been wan dering in the woods since Christmas, subsist ing upon toadstools. When asked why she did not apply for aid she said she could not speak a word of English, and did not have a penny, and would rather die than beg. After eliciting the above information, the ordinary turned the poor woman over to County'Court Clerk Burke, who sent her to the county alms bouse. To-morrow she will be started to Eufaula, where, it is hoped, she will find her heartless, villainous husband. The woman has the appearance of being about forty years old. She is of medium height, and is of the blonde type. She was attired in a tattered black worsted dress, and wore a calico sun bonnet. Rheumatism in the right knee makes her dependent upon the small stick she carries in walking, and at times it is difficut for her to move at all. She says she has suffered from the pains in her knee-after a few nights in the woods, and, at times, they were excruciating. MaeftacUiievlt. aristocracy. New York 5Vo rid. We read with emotion that Judge Hoar is report ed as saying of Richard Hoar Dana: “I think if he had been born thirty or forty miles inland, mid in stead of being—I sav with all respect—an adherent of the church of England, had been the son of a Congregationallst deacon, he would have been the foremost man in Massachusetts.” It is not stated whether this criticism was passed by Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, who is known in Boston as “pre ferred,” or by George Frisbie, who is not so much of a judge. From whichever of the Hoars it proceeded. it is ealeu latcd to give rise to reflections. Why it should be necessary for a man to be bom “thirty or forty miles inland” in order to attain eminence, when ghe Hoars tbemselveg were bom no further from the seaboard than Concord, which, if there be faith in gazetteers, is only “twenty miles W N. W. from Boston," is one of the questions suggested but not solved by this back-handed elegy. To be bom in Boston has hereioforc been considered the best possible “send-ofr ’ for a child of Massachu setrs. and if the commercial, social and political greatness of Boston should fade away like the greatness of Athens or of Fremont. O., Boston would still remain the pious resort of young wives desiring an auspicious entry upon life for their young. Now, however, comes a bold blasphemer who asserts that it may he a posi ive disadvantage for the local lucina of Bos ton to preside cross-legged at the birth of a citizen of Massachusetts. This is no: far from an assertion that the atmosphere of Boston is unfavorable to greatness-a blood-curd ling implication for which we can only tnm the offender over to the awful justice of the Boston Advertiser. It is possible that if Mr. Dana had been born thirty or forty miles from Boston he might have attained the statnre of hoar, G F., or of Dawes, and that his intellect was stunted by the vitiated air in which his childhood was passed. Disparagements of this kind have been uttered before, but the scoffer has usually found it prudent to establish his residence outside of the commonweal'h of Massachusetts before di recting his blasphemy at Boston. Iloir the Debt Wao to be Paid. Buffalo Express. A Missouri farmer is one - of those original geni uses who find a new way to pay old debts. He owed one Walt Perkins £25 and had owed him for yenrs. Onedav he met Walt and said: “Don’t beuueasy, Walt, I’have the thing all fixed by which I can pay yon.” Walt asked him how he had got it fixed, and the old granger said: “Well, Walt, if nothing happens, next year I hope to raise a good crop of com, and I intend to trade some of the corn for a voke of oxen, and I know an old man in Kt. Charles Co., that owns an old mare, and he wants to trade her for a yoke of oxen. Now, Walt, when 1 raise the corn and get the oxen, I will make the trade for the old mare, and then I will bring her home and raise mule colts—and, Walt, the very first mule colt I sell you shall have the money.” We hope Walt will inform the newspapers when he gets that mule colt. A Fortunate Recovery From Small-Pox. Mr. John L. Kidwell, a prominent citizen of Washington. D. has in his domestic employ as a nurse Miss Mary J.
