FEER VARY 7.1888. DIXIE DOINGS. Events of the Week in the Sunny Southland. THE DOWNFALL OF A YOUNG GIRL GEORGIA. A rival to Lulu Hurst, more wonderful in her powers and mysterious in her performance m, ; has d'vclopcd at Milledgeville. Mrs. Dixie i widow of the *late City Marshal i Haygood, who was murdered during the pro hibition campaign. Itecent seances here, wit nessed by f dilors and other®, nnd vouched for by the < hroniclo, show that she is a medium of great force. Mrs. Haygood does not require the la;, ing of hands upon the table before the mysterious rapping commences. She simply take :> seat at the talde. rests either her hand or elbow upon it and asks if a spirit, is present. Immediately the table responds by rapping. The table does not rise and rap with its legs. A peculiar noise is heard on it, like the drop ping of water. She can direct tiie rapping where she pleases. At the last seance a group of young people were a king questions at a table, another at the same lime were commun ing with a spirit on the floor, while a third group held to their ears a billiard cue. All I three <4 the groups were receiving intelligible answers Lo their <|uostions at the same time, and the intense interest of the spectators, as all leaned forward to catch the mysterious raps, was Jiidi<rous. One group would be talking to the table about their matrimonial prosper is, another talking to the floor about what kind of a place Heaven and hell w< re, and those communing through the bil liard cue would he communing with some friend who had departed. Mrs. Jlaygood all this time held a little child in her arms, and seemed highly amused nt the, excited com municants. A young gentleman who has lived here only a year, asked if a spirit present know him. One answered in the aliirmalivc. He asked where it had known him. It re plied. ■Louisville.” It was then requested to give the initials, and finally Io spell the name of the departed spirit, which it did. The name was that of an acquaintance that the young man had not heard of in twenty years. A farim i near M ill< dgeville lost a bale <»f cotton. Ho went to Mrs. Haygood’s, and the spirits told the name of the negro who had stolen it. who he .sold the cotton to, and where it could be found. 'l'l.o farmer investigated the matter and found his cottun just as the spii its direet( d. Mrs. II tvjood is also a writing medium. Sum<‘<»ne in the room takes out a note book and asks a question. He closes the book and jnits it into his pocket, no one in the room to see it. A piece of paper is laid on the table, and the medium takes a pencil and places it on the paper. Every muscle in her face becomes rigid, and the hand and arm bolding the pencil grows rigid. The hand moves voluntarily under mysterious guidance. All the letters are linked, and when the pencil reaches the edge the paper dragged back and another line is written. When the message is finished the pencil runsoft the paper. During the writing the hand wavers, and one looking over the shoulder cannot decipher the chi ography. A little study of it, however, will make the. answer clear, and it is a direct answer to the question in the note book. A voung man was communing with a cousin who had <lied. He wrote in his note book; “Are yon happy in the spirit world?” 'i’lio answer camo: ‘1 neverdid it and Clod knows that I did not.” As the aiiswi r was read, the young man turned pale and sprang up from his scat, avowing that 1.0 was satisfied, Ho exliibited the question and the specta tors could sec no conn;<<ion between the two. After the young man grew calm he said that while he had W'ritten the question in his note book, yet he w as all the time thinking of a crime that had been charged to his cousin, and which had never been ch ared up, and the answer was to the question in his mind and not to the, one written. Th<* spirits when questioned about the here after and the future state, says that there is no intermediate state, such as purgatory. The spirit goes directly to the. sphere or circle that is to occupy. If a spirit on earth has been good it will enjoy happiness in the hereafter. If it has been evil, misery and wretchedness awaits it after death. God is always present everywhere. Obedience to his w ill, good spirits delight in. Those spirits that are in the spheres of the blest do not want tu return to earth, but those who aro in the spheres of wletchodnoss would like to ex change placex. 'fhose who aro hapyiy and those who are miserable adjure all on earth -to live right and love and Gar God. When (|uestioiicd as to Christ they invariably deny him. Kut :v ide of spiritual! m, which Mrs. Hay good Hays she doesn’t understand at all, and doesn’t know what to believe about it, that lady is the equal of Lula Hurst. She w ill not weigh 100 pounds, and yet she can overcome the strength of several strong nu n. Shu takes a billiard cue and holds it in front of her and stands on one foot and defies any two men to push her backward. Shu stands thit-footcd and defies any man to catch her by the arms and lift her. She seems glued 10 the floor, and one is afraid ot breaking her atins. She ( (Uitlnucs to stand immovable. She can lies hold of a billiar’d cue and two nu n try to lilt I< r. but it is the same. She takes the cue and no three or four nun can pul it to the ground with their «omblr.ed strength. As many men as can get in a chair may pile on it, and by simply placing the palms of hei hands on the chair rounds she lifts the m two or three inelu s from the floor. A streng man may catch a chair up in his arms, and the little giantess has only to pl.ictx the palm of one Land on the bottom and the other on the back, and the per on goes staggering about the floor in spitt* of him mH. All these remarkable feats are pci formed and she doesn’t appear tu strain a muscle. At \ugit8lii, Suiu’ay morning a w hite waif, a Imv iilmui a week old, was found lying in a basket roxirid xvith worsted shawls, at the from door<»f Mr. J. T. Butler’s residence, on Mercer Jreet in Hamburg, just acn ss the rixer. The foundling xxas placed at the door after midnight, and xxhen found was alive but only fixed an hour afterwards. The night xvas inten t lx cold, and it is thought thu infant was fro/eii io death. Lmie Larkin Broxxn,keeper of the toll bridge at RoswelL is very siuk and not likely to sur vixe, He is eighty-eight years of age, and this is his tirst confinement us illness, haxing never taken a dose of mudicine. He still refuses to do so. Sunday night Miss Morello Park and Mr. < 'liarlie Sims were joined in huly wedlock by* Squire \V. AL Burns at the home of thu squire, in Cave Spring. The tillair was a complete surprise to both families and every one else. Mr. Charlie Sims is a son of a hardware merchant AV B Sims, and hits been working in Anniston since he left school about a year and a half ago. On Sunday morning, accompanied by Mr. Edwin l-'ord, another Cave Spring young man, now of Anniston, Mr. Sims lx>arded thu train at Anniston for Cave Spring Ho got off al I'rioi A Siaiit'u and his friend came on to Case Spring to arrange for thu marriage. Mr. Ford s. xv the squire and thu young lady and made an engagement to take her to church that night. About dusk a buggy was sent to Prior s tor Mr. Sim®. Mr Ford and Miss I'aik went to church, but during the first hymn went out, going down to I 'Squire Broxrn s b.ome. where Aj). I bailee j Sims any his brother Moouy axvaited them.

From gossip picked up about the street®, la-t ! w< <k, we printed a little item in the Giap’uic • tothcrff(( t that the voung people <»f Troup i Factory had danced all night in a 'l.urch, ! from music furnished by a strolling band of - musician®. Mr. C T. Freeman, of that p'acc, wa® in town a few days since, and from him i we learn that no such dame took place, that ; there was no “strolling” band < f mu ; siefans there, and further that the young people w ould Le far from using a chur« h ’ for such a purpose at any time. We are glad to make this correction on so excellent an authority as Mr. Freeman, and assure him i and all oth< rs in that neighborhood that we had no intention of doing Ji hem an injustice, but printed the item simply as a piece of news, coming, from what we deemed, a reliable source. On making inquiry we learn that the young people out there arc among the best and mod moral in the county, and we are sorry the report was given currency. The clopmrntof Mrs. Dimsdale, with Mr. Harper, both leaving large families, has ended both in tragedy and cornedy. Mrs. Dimsdale was a comely woman, and thus attracted the attention of Harper, w ho led her from the path of conjugal rectitude. AVhcn the couple dis appeared, the deserted husband promptly entered suit for divorce, and in order to lose no lime, pending the decision of the ccse, at once Logan paying court to eligible young ladies in the neighborhood. Two weeks ago, news was received from Culberson, N. stating that a strange woman had been abandoned there by her supposed husband; that she was ill with typhoid fever, and that in her ravings she constantly spoke of her children in Cherokee county, Ga. Later news came that she was dead, and that her name was Mrs. Dimsdale. It seems that her betrayer had taken her across the country, subjecting her to many hardship® <>i travel, and that when she became sick, away from home and at his mercy, he de serted her. The mysterious disappearance of Harper’s family one night a short time ago, suggests that he must have returned home, and spirited them away to a now home, where his misdeeds will not rise up against him. This ends the tragedy of the elopement, right where the comedy begins. Mr. Dimsdale heard of his truant wife’s death without regret. Satisfying himself that she was really dead, he at once proceeded to the courthouse, had his suit for divorce taken off the dockets, and returning by the home of Miss Sarah Ifalcombe, insisted upon that lady at once filling the dead woman’s place. It did not take her long to consent, when Squire Lyon was called in, and the twain w’ere made one. The affair has been the cause of much excitement around Ballground. SOUTH CAROLINA. A most destructive fire occurred in Charles ton soon after 2 p. m. Tuesday. It started in one of the compartments of the union cot ton press, the principal owner of which is the firm of Felser, Rodgers <& Co. Two thousand bales of cotton were destroyed, involving a loss of over SIOO,OOO, fully covered by insur ance. The union presses were burnt in 1579, and were built the same year. In 1884 the insurance companies required the warehouse to be rebuilt in fireproof sections. The union j>ress warehouse thereupon divided into thir teen compartments of 1.200 bales capacity each. The fire started today in the compart ment adjoining the press, and the flames quickly spread to the adjoining compartment. In the first there were I,2(XJ, most of which were destroyed. The second contained about I,loo,most of which were burnt or damaged by water. The loss is fully covered by insurance in northern and eastern companies. Thu fire men got the Hames under control about 4 p. m., but it will bo several days before the tire will be entirely extinguished. A special dispatch from Newberry says that Miss Mamie F. Edw’ards, for some time house keeper at the Fallow house, appeared before Trial Justice Blease, this afternoon and swore out a warrant charging Alfred Wilson, of Hel ena, with making way with a child in 1885. It appears that Miss Edwards gave birth to an illegitimate child, and that it was turned over to Wilson to make way with. Miss Edwards says this was done by force and against her consent by the fatherof the child. Gpoiithis affidavit the trial justice committed Wilson to jai l . Other persons ar© said to be inched, uj.d sensational developments arc exprct«-<L ( harlcston has been rejoicing over the cap ture by detectives of the burglars who have been operating there for the past six months. They were captured at five o’clock this morn ing at their den on Meeting street. Their names are Andrew Gibbs and James Johnson, with a dozen aliases. P»/Wi are negroes under twenty years of age. There can bo no doubt that these two crooks aro the ones who have terrorized the (THire city for several months, for the detectives found in their nest a large i assortment of plunder, which filled up a room at the main police station. The news of the :>rrest was bulletined early in the morning, and the stationhouse has been crowded all day by victims in search of missing articles. One of i the burglars made a confession and told how they had robbed over fifty houses within the last three months. ! Six children us Lester Singletary, a col | ored man ot Clarendon county, were burned to death Thursday night. The parents locked them up in the house about seven o'clock, nnd went off to a negro church about two miles away, where a religious revival was . in progress, During their absence the house i caught on fiiu and was burned to the ground. , The six ( hildren perished in tho Hames. The eldest ( hild w as a girl about thirteen years old, the next a boy about ten. three girls "aged re spectively nim i , six and three years, and the younge. t an infant of thirteen months. Tho model woman has been found. Shu is a resident of Hampton county, forty thn o years oi age, modest and retiring in her conduct and character. For thirteen years she has been a consistent member of the Baptist ehureh. ('hcunistanees have required her to follow a course of laborious life generally re ' carded as unsuited to her sex, but she has met its duties brav< ly. deserving and receiving the respect us all who know’ her. For thirty years she has folloxved the plow and engaged in tho usual round of farm labor. Last year she made nine bales of cotton, besides provisions, with one plow. She has dug one well, built live uhinineys, and frequently split a hundred rails a day. She has a good home of her uwn, enjoys exuollent health, and is sending her children to school regularly. Her life is an eloquent rebuke to many strong men v. ho have nut equaled her honorable record. ti:x\t:ssi:e. A serioas affray occurred al Knc'. ville. In front ot St. John’s Episcopal church, resulting in tho wounding of 5 men, one of them fatal ly. As J ami's F. Rule, city editor us the Knox ville Journal, was entering the church,mcom pan icd by his wife, he was accosted by three men who walked up to speak with him. He went to the opposite side of tho street with them, when all four stood talking some minutes. The three men w< re John West. William West and a friend of theirs named Goodman. They attaeked Rule on account of a communication which appeared in this 1 morning’s Journal, reflecting upon vne Dr. T. A. West, city physician, and lather of John and WUutun West Rule refused t glveUia lU unv pL e au U|2- v °I l V e vV’uni uni iat ion, or to make any satisfac’mi? answer to the question. Hot words ensued when John West siruek Rule and attempted to fauir him to the ground. Rule drew a re volver and shot John West thiv gh the body.

John w ■ - ; • •• '■ k seven timfifl William \'’est plac'd his revolver at Rulo’s forehead and fired, but Rule knocked the pistol up. fcetiving only a scalp wound.

The 1 West boys and Goodman went to Rule’s house early this morning, but did not find him. Rule was afterward warned that they were seeking him ami making threats. T lie entire community side with Rule in the i matter. AViiliam Wert has been arrested. ; Goodman made no attempt to escape. Saturday morning the magnificent country home of Overton Lea, five miles from Nadi i ville, on the Granny white pike, was totally destroyed by fire, together with the fine library, many costly paintings and marbles. It was the finest out of town home in the county, and was built only rive years ago. The loss largely exceeds sixty thousand dollars, on which was twenty thousand dollars insurance. There has been trouble brewing for a good while past, between Rev. John A. Edmund son, pastor, ami the congregation of the Spruce street church, Nashville, which iias culminat ed in the issuance of a warrant for Edmund son and arrest, with charge of disturbing public worship. The trouble is really of two years standing, dissatisfaction with the pastor having arisen about two years ago on account of what some members considered officious in terference in matters of a private character, which caused the withdrawal of one family from the church. Several other members of tho ccngregatien expressed their disapproval of Dr. Edmundson’s course, the relation be tween pastor and congregation became more and more strained. In consequence of this dissatisfaction Rev. J. M. Carter, presiding elder, was invited hero to investigate tho charges made against the pastor. The presiding elder made inquiries concerning the mat ters which had been reported to him, and it is said learned of several instances in which the pastor had been in Cerce personal altercations, and was only pre ented from fightind by the efforts of friends. Sunday morning Mr. Carter occupied the pulpit and Mr. Edmondson occupied a seat in the audience of the church. It was under stood that he said be would not take the sacra ment at Mr. Carter's hands. At the conclu sion of the sermon, an invitation was extended to all pastors present to come forward and as sist in the administration of the per. Mr. Edmondson did not respond, but at the conclusion of the sermon he went into the pulpit and said, in a loud voice: “I am your pastor.” Tie then charged Mr. Carter with circulating slanderous stories about [liiin. Ifo denied all of the statements made by Mr. Carter, and used some very vigorous language in denun ciation of Mr. Carter. At the conclusion of Mr. Edmondson’s talk, Mr. Carter arose and made an explanation. Ifo denied tho particular wording of the charges read by Mr. Edmondson, but re affirmed all of the statements as to the personal difficulties referred to. During Mr. Carter's talk, Mr. Edmondson frequently interrupted the speaker. Mr. Edmondson again rose to speak when Mr. Carter stopped, but the con gregation arose and left the church withou the benediction. NORTH CAROLINA. Three negroes were to have been tried at Ox ford last week for incendiarism. They have secured a removal of their cases to Durham superior court. They are charged with having set fire to the town of Oxford. Tuesday night, at Ashboro. the tesidence of George Bradshaw, clerk of the superior court of Randolph county, was burned, with eon tcrits. Loss, three thousand dollars, with no insurance. Last week five negro prisoners got out of Louisburg jail by the aid of friends outside. Roman Allen, one of them, has been recap tured and revealed the entire plan. The wife of one prisoner carried, a short iron bar and hatchet under her clothing, and gave them to him. The intention was to kill tho jailor aud force the doors. ■ The state commissioner of agriculture is now preparing a plan for establishing in every county an experimental or modern -farm, in accordance with tho expressed wish of the farmers' mass meeting recently held at Greens boro. The passage of the Hatch law by con gress gives the state fifteen thousand dollars for an experiment station at Raleigh, which will now be operated in connection with the State Agricultural and Mechanical college. It relieves the state department of agriculture of a great strain caused by its maintenance oi an experimental station, with a meagre appro priation by the state. Tuesday while a party of laborers were work ing on a public roan in Alexander county they unearthed a skeleton. Their picks first un earthed the skull a foot beneath tho surface. They soon had the entire skeleton out. It was in a sitting posture, the knees being drawn up close to the chin. It is that of a colored man who mysteriously disappeared from Taylors ville twenty years ago. At the time he disap peared he was known to have had S4OO in gold ami silver in his possession, and it was always thought he had been murdered, his money se cured and his body disposed of in some myste rious manner. AI.AISAMA. A Mongcmery special has thp following: About a week since a young girl,prepossessing in appearance, arrived in this city in search of work. She had but little money, and knew no one. Iler efforts to secure employment as a seamstress or house girl were unsuccessful, and she became utterly despondent, being unable to pay longer for humble lodgings. She left her room, and wandered aimlessly about tho street, last night until a lato hour, when she entered a house of ill fame kept by Cora Spaulding, and was given welcome and shel ter. The ease was investigated today. It appears that the girl.s name is Ella Har rell. She is about eighteen years old, and says sho is from north Georgia, lint will not give tho exact location of her home. Two years ago, her mother, who was a widow, married again, and h<r step-father, whose natno sho will not give, ill-treated her. Two months since her mother died, and her step-father began to persecute her, and she finally determined to run away, and came here last week. She says she has always been virtuous and respectable until want and inability to secure work drove her to seek refuge in this house of sin. Sho is horrified at her brief experience and desires to leave the place. Her case will be reported to some society and efforts will be made to secure a home for her. The girl is educated, and her appear ance indiiates that sho has been respectably raised. She will give no information in re gard toiler step-father beyond the fact that he is a farmer in north Georgia. TEXAS, A special telegram from Belton says: An estimate of the cattle losses resulting from the recent severe blizzard, places the number of head lost at between 1,000 aud 1 ,■-’OO. The heaviest losers were the pasture owners in the eastern portion of the county, one party losing .W out of 100 head. The hide market here is well supplied with [ green hides, brought in by those engaged in > skinning the dead animals. J.

MISSISSIPPI. Monday morning the dead body of Ester Williams, aged about 30 years,was found at her home in the suburbs of Aberdeen, with her throat cut from ear to ear. All day crowds of negroes have been going to and from the scene of the murder, and so brutal was the murder that a feeling of indignation goes out against the perpetrator. The woman leaves two small children, who spent last night with neighbors. Suspicion points to her husband, William Williams, who has been supposed to be absent from his home. The impression prevails that the husband returned heme during the night, and having reasons to believe that the wife had been unfaithful, awaited the opportunity, murdered her and left for parts unknown. A resolution was introduced in the legislature last Wednesday requesting the governor to pardon all convicts serving sen tence in the penitentiary who were convicted under what was known as the “Dig law,” inas much as it made the sealing of live stock of over the value of one dollar a felony. An act repealing this law has passed the leg islature, and is now in the hands of the gov ernor, nnd will be signed, and this resolution apparently would make] it retrospection. Tho effect would be the pardoning of from one to two hundred convicts, mostly negroes. ARKANSAS. E. P. Wright, ex-city editor of the Little Rock Democrat, who absconded on ac- i count of two wives appearing upon tlie scene, and causing him to leave another, has written j a letter to Governor Hughes, confessing his | guilt. lie states that he was drunk when he ! was married to a woman who came from Toxas with a marriage certificate. He claims that she was the mother of an illegitimate child, so he left her. Tho letter was mailed on the trains between here aud Texarkana, and it is not dated. He says lie will go to work on a farm and conceal his identity, until he can save money enough to fight the case, when he will give himself up. The reward of S2OO of fered by the governor lias been supplemented by another of S2OO, offered by tho brother of the girl lie married and left in Little River county.

He Reappears After an Absence of Seven Tears. Bonham, Tex., Febuary I.—From the rd I joining county of Lamar, a few miles below ! here, comes a pathetic story which bears many I Enoch Arden characteristics. About seven j years ago, in the neighboringhood men tioned, a prominent citizen by the name of i David Pierce had occasion to go to the south- ; : ern part of the state, and, bidding his family— | i which consisted of a loving wife and two I daughters—an affectionate adieu, to lie absent. ■ ; a few weeks, ho took his departure. The weeks 1 lengthened into months, and finally a year had gone by without any tidings from Pierce, until i one day, a little over five years ago, word was i i received from a friend of the Pierce family i ’ that Dave had died somewhere in tlie lower i part of the state. i Mrs. 'Pierce mourned tho death of her has ' ! band with genuine grief, but after a year o j 1 mourning she was persuaded to abandon ho [ ! widow's weeds and wed another husband. Tho i man she married was a worthy gentleman.ami I ! happiness once more reigned in the Pierce ' family.until a day ortwoagotlio man mourned ’ as dead appeared in the neighborhood to seek > ; his family, not having heard ot his wife's sec- I end marriage. On iieing informed of that fact, ‘ : Pierce first became blindly enraged and threat- < cned vengeance, but finally calmed down aud called on his wife. She, at sight of him, swooned, but finally rallied and listened to explanations. Pierce, it appears, on going south suddenly became in- : sane, and was placed in the lunatic asylum at j Austin. The friend that sent the word to I Mrs. Pierce thought that lie was doing a hu mane act, and that she would rather know that be was dead than to think him insane. After having been cured of his malady. Pierce returned homo with the result as stated. Find- ; ing his wife married to another man, witli two . j or three small children, placed him in an awkward position. Seeing tho wreck oi liap | pincss he would cause it ho remained and claimed his wife, ho silently and tearfully I turned his back on all that was dear to him, i 1 and bid a last farewell to his home. 1835—1888.
