Among our Exchanges.
Putnam Superior Court met yester
day.
The Waynesboro artesian well is
now 859 feet deep. Work is still in
progress.
A negro named Henry Barnes was
lynched at Millen on the 16th, for out
raging a white lady at Rogers’ Sta

Jackson has more new houses and

The cotton crop of Houston county
is very seriously cut off. The blight
extends over a majority of the coun
ties in the State.—Albany News.
Primus Jones, the extensive cotton
planter of Baker county, says he has
already gathered thirteen bales of
cotton to the mule.—Albany News.
The Charleston artesian well is one
of the deepest in the United States
and yet we are told that deep boring
lot out the gases and shut off the
earthquakes.
In a recent paper, Sir John Lub
bock says that ants of the same nest,
however large it may be, have a
means of recognizing each other not
easily explained. The recognition is
immediate and complete, even after
an absence of a year from the nest.
Concerning the longevity of ants, he
had kept two queen ants for twelve
years.
A pleasant marriage ceremony oc
curred at the elegant home of Mr.
Jack Roberts, in Jones county, Thurs
day morning, Mr. M. C. B&lkcom be
ing united in marriage to Miss Lula
Roberts. Mr. Balkoom is of the firm
of Davis and Balkcom, and Miss
Roberts is the daughter of Mr.
Jack Roberts, and a young lady
possessing many fine traits of charac

mony was performed by Rev. J. W.
Burke in a beautiful manner.
Wells four feet square are being
sunk in Stone Mountain. One is four
hundred feet up the side of the moun
tain, and will be thirty-five feet deep.
The other is seventy feet deep and
six hundred feet up the mountain.
Into the former twelve tons of giant
powder and into the latter two car
loads will be dumped. These will be
blown up in a short time, and it is ex
pected that the reports will equal the
earthquake shock. This is being
done by the granite company who
' own the mountain.—Ex.
A terrible aecident occurred a half
mile from Chattanooga at 6:10 o’clock
Wednesday evening on the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad.
The northbound express train struck
& cow on a sharp curve while going
into that city. The engine turned
over a slight embankment, crushing
Engineer Tom Buckley and Fireman
Cal Fariss to death. Buckley’s body
was not recovered tor several hours.
The Vraeks of the East Tennessee,
Cincinnati, Southern and Western and
Atlantic Railways were blockaded un
til tmdxight. No passengers were in
jured.
The Baltimore Manufacturers' Rec
ord computes the increase of South
ern railway mileage, in the past five
years, at 11,221 miles; Texas. Arkan
sas, Florida and Virginia leading,
^outli Carolina increased 2G0 miles,
and Georgia G57. The Record says
that in five years the actual cost of
Southern railroads and their equip
ments have increased $004,000,GOO.
While the larger part of this has gone
into the construction of new roads
very many milions have been absorb
ed in the improvement of old roads,
the substitution of steel for iron rails,
better rolling stock and other ne
cessities of railroad business.
Democrats Must Acquiesce.—
This we learn was the wise and patri
otic resolve of those democrats that
were opposed to the recent senatorial
.nomination, at a meeting held on Sat
urday night. Now that a nomination
has been made in entire accordance
with democratic usages, it certainly
became them as true conservative
democrats to acquiesce in the result,
-and determine to support the regular
nominee. Later, however, we learn
that ?>onie will not harmonize and
have succeeded in inducing a candi
date to antagonize the voice of the
democracy. Of course this is what
the republicans have labored to ac
complish all the while.—Sandersville
Herald.
Deep Step C&mpmeeting.
The Campmeeting at Deep Step
closed on yesterday morning, having
continued through four days. This
being the only campground in the
county draws a very large congrega
tion, especially on Saturdays and Sun
days. This year was no exception to
the rule, the congregation on Sunday
was probably larger than usual, neaj-
ly all the available space for buggies
XT^neTntr^ occupied,
which were of course much crowded,
on account of the vast numbers in at
tendance, but the generous hospitali
ty of the tent-holders was equal to the
demands of the occasion, and none
were unprovided for. There was also
a public tent where many were ac
commodated. The order so far as we
have learned was generally very good,
but there was one party of young men
that was so forgetful of the proprie
ties of the place and of the occasion, as
to take a bottle of whiskey into a
tent. They will, however, either keep
away in the future, we presume, or
take no whisky next time.
Rev. J. W. Hinton, D. D., Presiding
Elder, Revs. G. S. Johnson, J. W.
Simmons, L. A. Darsey, J. B. Culpep
per, L. H. Greene, N. H. Olmstead,
F. W. Flanders and Win. Park were
in attendance. The preaching of the
officiating ministers generally was
very earnest, pointed and effective,
and the meeting was one of much in
terest. There were nine added to the
membership.—Sandersville Herald.
X&king Preparations in Time.
Constitution.
An intelligent New Yorker drifting
into conversation said: “I am pre
paring my boy for West Point, where
he will get a military education and
the nerve and courage of a soldier.
He will inherit a large manufactur
ing property from me which I am
sure he will have to fight for. I want
to teach him what he inherits#”
“And who is he to fight?”
“The communists. To all thought
ful men there is but one shadow real
ly clouding the future of this Repub
lic, and that is the black shadow of
communism. The continual dump
ing on our shores of the refuse of
Europe aggravates local disorders;
and spreads in this roomy and abund
ant land where there is not the sligh
test excuse for the noxious doctrines
that have sprung naturally from the
overcrowded hives of the old world.
You Southern people are more or less
uneasy about your race trouble. Let
me assure you that in imminence and
deadliness it does not approach the
issue between labor and capital that
must be settled by the people of the
North.”

Climbing the Rope.
Birmingham, Ala., September 15.
—This morning a white convict nam
ed William Hancock, alias S. M. Mil
ler, escaped from the shaft of the
Pratt coal mines by climbing up the
elevator wire rope, a distance of 304
feet from the bottom to the shaft
opening. The feat was supposed to
have been done at four o’clock. It
was a perilous one, and required both
skill and nerve. At the top are two
front gates which require two men to
lift from the outside. These he lifted
and made his escape,
was performed some
German who made
small pieces of rope
Mr. Justin Collins, the superintendent
of the convicts, regards it as a won
derful escape and Mining Engineer
Johns said lie would not go down the
rope for the mines. The escaped pris
oner was sentenced from Chambers
county to twenty years for killing his
step brother. • Cranswell and his
bloodhounds have taken the man’s
trail, and it is supposed he will be
caught. The company offers a re
ward of $100.— Constitution.

Cliff Clay has made the finest corn
crop that we have heard of this year.
With a twelve mule crop, he has al
ready gathered and housed three

bushels. If this yield can be beaten
by anyone, we would like to hear it.—

A Carrollton dispatch says Judge
Harris continues ill and will not hold
any more courts this fall.
About five years ago, so the story
goes, Mr. Frank R. Howard, of Craw-
fordville, invested two thousand dol

Birmingham, Ala., and last week was
offered twenty thousand dollars for
it.
The interims from one to another
of our local elections give but brief
breathing spells; but if we do not em

material benefit of the town then we
shall have no opportunity whatever
for well doing.—Greenesboro Home

A Birmingham special of the 14tli,
says: “The Board of Education to
day elected Mr. John Morris, son of
Professor Charles Morris of the Uni
versity of Georgia, Principal of South
Side Grammar School, which is con
nected with the free school system.
Mr. J. E. Campbell informs us that
he cut 12,000 pounds of splendid hay
a few days ago from two acres of land
belonging to Hon. J. H. Brewer, of
this county, all at one cutting. This
seems to pay better than either cot
ton or corn.—Elberton, Ga., Gazette.
The Senatorial convention of the
35th district, composing the counties
of Fulton, Cobb and Clayton, met re
cently in Atlanta to nominate a sen
ator. The session was long and bit
ter. On the 1,199th ballot, Mr. Rice,
of Fulton, withdrew his name as a
candidate. Mr. Mozely had been put
in nomination by Cobb county. Hon.
A. S. Clay, of Cobb, was nominated
by the convention. Mr. C. comes out
in a letter declining the nomination
on the ground'that he had already
accepted from the people o£ Cobb a
sacred trust in consenting to run for
the lower House.
