UNION & RECORDER. 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 tion. ' Jackson has more new houses and more being built than any other town on the line between Atlanta and Ma con. 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 ter and lovely disposition. The cere 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.” The same feat time ago by a slip nooses of and ascended.

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 interims from one to another of our local elections give but brief breathing spells; but if we do not em ploy these limited occasions for the material benefit of the town then we shall have no opportunity whatever for well doing.—Greenesboro Home Journal. 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. f Our young friends enjoyed a very pleasant evening dancing at the resi dence of Mr. Win.
