9 l "UNION & RECORDER. .aUR AUGUSTA LETTER. Augusta, Ga., July 10th, 1886. •Lhitors Union-Recorder: The funeral of Paul Hayne was at- ti«n3ed bv a vast concourse of people la>st Sunday afternoon. St. Pauls Eupiscopal Church was tilled with the litrgest and most sympathetic audi- 'Kise that ever assembled within its historic walls. The floral decorations •were of appropriate design, and most flitting to the solemn occasion, the psalm and palmetto of his native Gar- wlna mingled with the pine tkdepted Georgia. The tribute of t- shop Beckwith to his dead poet fiend was characteristic of the man. ‘Silence,” he said, “would be most acting on this occasion, but when l riiink of the lonely widow ui_hey des • 5ate home, my lips cannot refrain •'--om sneaking the feelings that well k "a ,nv heart/' He then raid a ,x icsi gloving tribute to his departed -fendTdwelling upon hh mar> y and wc manly qualities, and show ed that greater the developement of these ' ualitSs. the more Paul Hayne be- S Ghrist-like. The song service conducted by a choir composed - f Dr. and Mrs. Goodrich, Miss Maud Stovall, Mr. Hollingsworth, and the T '-armonic Society—a part of the best vocal talent in Augusta. The beating as a rule are too poorly paid, and the profession is too much crowded witn those of the opposite sex, who adopt it merely as a means of making a liv ing? It is my opinion that the ^tate should establish a Normal School and rfllow no one to teach m her public schools unless he (or she) ca * show a diploma of graduation from the St^e School, or from one of another State This would insure competency on the part of those whose ^utyit istoteach our children.

Our city assuredly leserves credit for so appropriately expressing its grief at the loss of one eminent in the world of letters as ♦Caul Hayne. The Hayne Circle met last •evening and appointed a Committee take what action they may deem proper towards raising a fund for the • Wily of the deceased. And now that Paul Hayne is dead, w ho shall illustrate our Southland m verse and song? Our section, so aoun- Hantlv blessed by the God of Nature, furnishes material enough to awaken ,’Ei^Jheart of any who feels the touch of poetic inspiration. Upon whom i hen shall the poet's mantle fall?

A few minutes ago it rumored that the entire force at S.iblev Mill were out on a strike, and also that the hands at the Enterprise Factory shut down at 10 o'clock this morning, but returner! several hours later. As the Mills are some distance the canal, I have not been able to up learn the exact status of affairs, but will get the particulars and send them Vo vou before your paper goes to press. Public opinion is not with the -trikers in this case. The officials have plainly shown that the Factory cannot be operated now with an in crease in wages without great loss to Ihe stock-holders. There is, however, a terrible unrest among the opera tives, and they seem determined to bring on the contest between capital tad labor. The Congressional Convention met in Augusta yesterday, and unanimous ly nominated Maj. Geo. Barites to suc ceed himself as Congressman from the tenth District. The Major had .*»!> opposition, which is evidence of his popularity throughout the . Dis trict. How thankful would some ptli- er Georgia Congressmen, be for such unanimity in their districts. It is stated that Judge James H. Hook will contend with judge Roney for the Judgeship of the Augusta circuit. Judge Roney has . made a most competent and faithful officer, and has hosts of friends throughout the circuit. Judge Hook is a man of recognized legal ability, and if elected would administer justice faithfully and well. A meeting was held yesterday after noon at the Cotton Exchange, in the interests of the Greehville, Atlantic and Western Railroad. President Haminet was- present and addressed t he meeting, showing that it was to •Augusta’s interest to subscribe liber ally to the enterprise. Mr. Walsh made a hearty speech in favor of the road, and, on his motion, a committee will be appointed at the Chairman’s leisure to canvass among our citizens for subscriptions. So many- railroads are Entering in Augusta that a man will have to keep a schedule in his pocket, “so as not to get left.” Col.

The Colonel is a highly cultured gentlemen of pleasing man ner, and has made many warm friends '.during his stay in our midst. Prof. Sterling Brinkley of Warrenton, an • educator of great repute in our State, drakes Col. Fontaine’s place on the Hill.

The train Avas a fast one. The road Avas rough, and nod ding passengers clung to their seats with both lip,nds. Many seats Avere occupied by men and women, and up toward the forward end-of the coach sat a pair of quiet, blanketed llgures- Mexicans. They had nothing to say and beyond getting up a feAv times to light cigarettes, did not move. Just before day, the train pulled up at the little wayside station of Cline,.twenty miles Avest of here. The train stopped just a minute, but long enough to allow Deputy Sheriffs Baylor and Nimrno to spring aboard. As their feet touched the top steps they threw open the door and throwing dow r n a couple of revol vers on their prey, ordered them to throw up their hands. There Avas on ly a single lamp swinging in the ear. The sleepy passengers heard the curt demand, and looking forAvard in the dim light saAv the shrouded forms spring hastily up, the blankets fall from their shoulders, and the battle began. There Avas an incessant explosion that in the cramped and confined space of the coach sounded terrific. The offi cers stood Avith their backs to the door and Avorked their revolvers for life. The desperadoes—one standing full in the middle of the aisle, the oth er Avith one hand resting carelessly on the back of a seat and swearing shrilly in Spanish—were enveloped in the "smoke of tlieir own revolvers. Amid the ripping of plush and tinkle of shiv T ering glass, the screaming and cowering men saw the tall form in the the aisle plunge backward to the floor a dead man. The other desperado, Avounded, one band pressing his side, the other holding his empty revolver over his head, with a yell burst by the officers through the door, and leaped to the ground. Day. had broken, and the slowing train came to a stop. One of the officers sprang after the fleeing, staggering figure, and called on it to halt. It turned and snapped the empty weapon at its pursuer. Then it went 1 down with a bullet in the breast. The officers took an inventory of themselves. Though bleeding slight ly in several places, they Avere unhurt, but their clohting hung in tatters. Baylor, who stood nearest the Mexi- ans, had his clothes literally ribbon ed ; bis hands and the side of his neck Avere powder-burned. Nimrno had not suffered so severely. They were horse thieA r es for whom the officers had Avarrants. They were believed to be members of the band of bandits who, from over the Rio Grande, lia\ T e lately been raiding this section, and who some days ago murdered a bank er in the heart of Uvalde. Cline, the place at which the killing occurred, is in the heart of the infested country. The dead Mexicans were both young men, and well dressed.’ Their bodies have been brought here, and an in quest is being held. ♦* Henry county has a citizen, Major Hiram Lester, 117 years old, born June 4, 1769. He has 10 children, the youngest 76 years old. He is an in mate of the Henry county poor house. There is great mortality among the negro population of Morgan county. Almost every day some member is buried. The death rate among this population for the past few months has been marvelous. The meeting of tlie Grand Lodge of Good Templars of Georgia will take place iu Columbus, beginning on July 20th. This meeting will be representa tive of every lodge in theState. There will be present about 200 delegates. It will be a very important gather ing. Over $30,000 have been secured in notes in Putnam county to build tlie rail road from Eatontonto Monticello. Jasper promised to raise $10,000 for the purpose, and Ave are waiting to hear what she Avill do.—Eatonton Messenger. The wheat outlook in the country at large is most flattering. The in crease in bushels over 1885 will have to be counted by tens of millions. It is estimated that it will be 80 million bushels greater. Another estimate is but 50 million. There is something peculiar just now about the port of Atlanta. Noth ing but schooners are now allowed to cross the bar, and these schooners are laden with both whisky and beer.

He is looking into the refusal of the Governor to grant the company a license to continue business. The refusal was based mainly upon the failure of the company to make its annual return in 1881, 1885 and 1880.

Webb lost’his life last year. Graham went over the rapids in a barrel con structed by himself. He got inside and fastened the head and was towed to deep water and went whirling. He landed some five miles below, and when taken out was only slightly bruised on one arm. Thousands of people witnessed the novel sight. Down in a Well. Unanimous.—Hon. Geo. T. Barnes was not only unanimously renomina ted for Congress in the 10th District of Georgia, by the delegates to the convention, but also by the rising vote of his numorous friends present at the meeting. This was a deserved compliment. Major Barnes is a true Jeffersonian Democrat and has all the qualifications for his high position laid down by Jefferson. We know him to be honest, competent, able, true, industrious, faithful, and incap able of falsehood in any relation of life. As such, and known to be such, his constituents have united to pay him the greatest compliment in tlieir power to bestow.—Augusta Chronicle. Col. L. F. Livingston has tendered his resignation as President ot tlie Covington and Macon railroad. General P. M. B. Young has obtain ed a furlough for sixty days, and will return home about the first of Octo ber.

Lennox Maxwell, the murderer of Arthur Preller in St. Louis, known as the trunk murderer, has been sen tenced to be flanged on August 27th. The Philadelphia Call says: “The reason some men never meet with any failures in life is because they never make any efforts to succeed.” Hon. C. F. Crisp has secured enough votes) to secure his renomination to congress. He has made a brilliant re cord, one which will live in the 49th Congress. The fellow who went through the rapids at Niagara Falls in a barrel ought to be satisfied. He has proba bly been called a fool in every lan guage in the United States.

The bucket was again lowered which she caught and by this means kept her head out of the water until help arrived. She was taken out of the well and a physi cian sent for to set the arm.

Southerner-Appeal: We are proud to see such a noble institution of learning as the M. G. M. & A. College has already proven to be, and with prospects of increased prosperity in the future, spring up from the ashes of historic greatness. We are proud of the fact that, al though Milledgeville was robbed of her birthright—the Capital—in its stead she has that which will prove to her a greater blessing. In those old halls which have reverberated with the eloquence and patriotism of Georgia’s noblest sons, is now dissem inated knowledge to hundreds of our youths of both sexes, who, other wise, would be be deprived of the ad vantages of education. The fu ture will show, as her pupils go out to fight the battles of life, how great are the blessings that will flow from this Institution. Man cannot live to him self alone, and as these young men and women take their place in life, they also disseminate to others, with whom they come in contact, that knowledge and refinement of which they are possessed, and tlie leaven will spread, until no man can estimate the result that will accrue to the country, as they go forth to bless and be blessed, We hope that the people of Milledgeville will see to it that this Institution in their midst is firmly fix ed upon a solid basis, for the whole state is interested in its welfare. ?7S} A . gentleman who is on intimate terms with G en - John B.
