Not the Mon.
A few ilays ago in mentioning thearrest
ot the Cunninghams for the murder of the
express driver, Mack Lewis, we made
-tatements concerning them, which wo
iibtained from their triond Newton Bul
lock. Mr. Cunningham called to see us
yesterday, and denied having been drunk
while in the city, or having associated
with women of ill fame. He says Bullock
misinformed us. We make the correction
for him.
b He Crazyr
Yesterday we received a lon# eomumni-
Uon, signed James Mallory, from the Ful
ton county jail, begging us to assist in
getting him a bearing. He claims he is not
insane, and attributes some sordid motive
for his imprisonment. We don't know Mr.
Mallory, but think he might get a hear
ing with the large numbers of unemploy
ed young luwyers of Atlanta, ready to
take a case.
We suggest to the Constitution that he
is a fit subject for an • interview.’* His
communication contains many things of
a sensational character.

Last night at 10 o’clock the steamers
Wyllyand Julia arrived at the wharf.
They brought quite a number of passen
gers, a miscellaneous freight, and about
J 25 bales of cotton.
The steamer Big Foot that was sunk on
Sunday was raised, and will be at the

repairs she will be all right, and ready
for her regular trips. The Big Foot will
bring about two hundred bales of cotton.
The Julia went to her Assistance and
lightened her loud, and took on more cot

was expected from reading the first ac

Lecture this Evening.
Itabbl Alexander Rosenspltz of Nash
ville, Tennessee, will lecture this evening
at 7 o’clock at Odd Fellows HalJ. His
subject will be; “Chariots of Thoughts
and Examples for F.raulation, or
Through the Door oUOpportunlty to the
Road of Success.”
"The Huntsville, (Ala.,) Independent, ot
the 16th of November, in giving a synop
sis of the lecture delivered by the Rabbi at
that place says: Itabbl Rosenspitz is en
dowed with a lino intellect which has
been highly cultivated by deep study and
extenslvo travel, and his lecture was rich,
classical, historical, eloquent and schol
arly.”
Governor Porter, of Tonnesse, says of
him;
"I am acquainted with tho Rev. Alexan
der Rosenspitz, and with tho leading mem
bers of his congregation, and most cheer
fully Indorse him as .a gentleman of the
highest character, and commend him to
the peoplo of Tennessee and adjoining
States. I can add that his mission Is a
worthy one and commends itself to all of
our best people.”
We fully concur in the above:
“James L. Gaines, Comptroller; (’has.
N. Gibbs, Secretary of State; W. Morrow,
Treasurer: Thomas A. Kerchavel, Mayor
of Nashville.”
The Chattanooga Commercial ot Nov.
26th says: “From a brief aud vory pleas
ant conversation with the gentleman, we
are satisfied that he is not only a scholar
and an elegant talker, but what is better,
a bold, vigorous, independent thinker.
Thinkers will listen to him with interest,
whether or not they agree with all the
daring conclusions of Ills philosophy.
While he thoroughly sympathize with,
and profoundly admires the iconoclastic
spirit In which Moses, Jesus, Luther and
others struck down the false and outworn
in systems which had preceded them and
against which they protested, the Rabbi
refuses to accept the dicta of any creed as
the perfection of truth, and claims for tho
human mind the right to exercise freely
Its highest reasoning capacity. We ad
vise all ministers of the city, all scholars,
and all who believe In Intellectual liberty
aud spiritual progress to attend the lec
ture. They will be put to thinking. The
ministers will discover too many pro
blems which modern thought, in the fields
of religious philosophy presents for their
consideration, and, if possible, their solu
tion.”
The Chattanooga Times, in speaking of
the appearance of tho learned gentleman
of that city, says: “Having heard Rabbi
Rosenspitz, we most c irdlally commend
the occasion to our citizens, regardless of
sectarian or political predilections, and
promise them a rare treat in tils lecture.”
The Rabbi says that his lecture this
evening will prove of particular Interest
to Masons, Odd Fellows. Knights of
Pythias, Grangers, Good Templars and
the like In general, and students, mer
chants, mechanics aud artisans in par
ticular In as much ns ho will describe
the characters aud acchlevnionts of those
truly “Odd Fellows of ancient, classic
and modern times, who entering through
the Door of Opportunity" climbed the
high “Road to Success” and by their
courage and perseverence and assiduity
became the benefactors of humanity, and
inscribed their namos in letters of indeli
ble love, upon the heart of mankind.

Two Negroes Eogage In Combat.

Shootiug scrapes arc beginning to be
monotonous, and come in such rapid suc
cession that they lose the eagerness with
which they are usually devoured.
This time tho cry of murder is borne
upon the western breeze, and comes float
ing from Alabama. Twelve miles from
here, near Ross’ store, two brothers en
gaged in a dispute as to the ownership of
some shot and powder. High words
bi ought blows, and the blows brought a
shot gun to the shoulder of George Mott,
who shot and instantly killed his brother
Bill. They were the sons of Bill Mott, sr„
a very respectable colored blacksmith
living near tha store. The screams of tho
women in the yard brought to the sceno
several gentlemen who were passing the
house on their way to this oity. ■
Tho killing occurred yesterday morning
early.
THE DECEASED
was about nineteen years of age and bore
a good reputation. The slayer was a little
older, and was considered a mean and bad
negro. Soon as he recognized what he
had done and began to count up the con
sequences, bo
ESCAPED,
and has not since been seen or beard of.
It is not Improbable that he is now in the
city, hiding out from the vengeance to
come. The old man, father of these boys,
used to belong to our fellow-eiizen, Col. R.
L. Mott.

Touching tho election of city attorney
as reported in our last issue, we desire to
explain in answer to queries upon tho sub
ject, as to why the firm of Hatcher A
Goetchius got only one vote and 8. B.
Hatcher, a member of that firm, was elec
ted by a majority.
Tho firm name was put in nomination
by Alderman Nuckolls, wheroupon Aider
man Coleman raised the objection as to
whether er not a firm could be elected to
the office. Tho objection was sustained,
and Mr. Nuckolls then withdrew the nom
ination and substituted tho name of S. B.
Hatcher, as representative of the llrm,
and tho majority vote cast for him was
virtually for the firm. Injustice to Mr.
Goetchius wc make this explanation.

Editor Daily Times:
Dear Sin—A gentleman wishes to pre
sent a lady with an engagement ring. He
is too poor to buy a diamond, but can af
ford something more costly than plain
gold. Will a nice seal ring be entirely ap
propriate? Your advice will be highly es
teemed and acted upon. Please answer
through the columns of your paper right

Yours, etc.,
ENGAOEI).
Wo are not competent to adpise on such
a matter of so great importance as the
writer presents. We suggest that he bet
ter not marry at all, it the selection of a
ring disturbs him so much. No matter
what kind of ring ho selects, the seal of a
large family ring may settle the kind of
ring he must put up with.
The People Want Prom.
There is no medicine prescribed by phys
icians, or sold by druggists, that carries
such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boschee’s German Syrup for se
vere Coughs, Colds settled on the breast,
Consumption.or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that
any person afflicted, can get a Sample
Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior
effect before buying tho regular size at 75

lu the last number of the Advocate, Dr.
Haygixxl thus treats the habit of drunken
men carrying pistols. Let nil our readers
■peruse It twice.
“On Sunday night. November 5, in At
lanta two young men were going to
church. On the sidewalk they met anoth
er young inau. Ho was armed,,and in
liquor. Ho fancied that somebody had
y(Tended him. He met those young men
while the lit was on hiiu. A few incohe
rent words followed, and ho llred right
into the breast of one, ami at the other as
ho fled. Tho wounded man dragged him
self to Ills home near by—his mother inet,
helped him into the house, and In a few
minutes ho was dead. The young man
who did the shooting went reeling on his
way. In an hour the Sheriff cat riod him
to jail. There was no grudge—no hatred
to explain the shooting. Just this, he was
in liquor, and armed. He would have
fired into any man ho met at that mo
ment. It might have been any other man
in Atlanta with as good cause.
This case comes home to us. Tlie
fattier of the boy who Is in jail Is our per
sonal friend—a worthy and honored citi
zen. May God help him iu his groat trial!
Alas, the mother of the dead boy! It
were hard to tell which has the heavier
And this sort of tragedy may be en
acted any where. It is. in its main feat
ures, not uncommon. Something like it
occurs every day in tills Christian Repub
lic. We look for reports of such things
in every morning's papier. They no
longer surprise us. And, what is worse—
unless we know tho parties—such things
no longer shock us. Soldiers in time of
war, get used to the sight of dead men.
We all, in time of peace, are getting used
to homicides and murders. We take such
things as a matter of course. So much
the worse for us. When some drunkard’s
pistol sends a ball Into one of us, or Into
one of our sons, we look at it as a very
serious thing—not to be considered as a
sort of matter-of course accident.
Is this thing to go on forever? One
thing Is certain; it is going on now, and
at a fearful rate. And a long time it has
been going on. It has come to this, no
man Is safe whi*n a drunkard is loose—for
nearly all drunkards go armed. When a
drunkard Is on the streets we should give
tho alarm, as the Hindoo villagers do when
a hungry tiger Btarts on his rounds—
“ The man-eater Is abroad to-night.” Then
wo could at least be on our guard.
We talk and write about live Issues.
This is one—drunk men with pistols in
their pockets. We talk of reform—reform
is needed here. We should take hold of
tills question with both hands. Let the
press speak; let the pulpit 6peak, Thore
is need of a whole broadside of Sinatic
thunder—well directed and steadily kept
up. •here has been sinful apathy and si
lence. The blood of dead men, shot down
like dogs In tho street, cries from the
earth to heaven.
Who taught the wretched boy that lies
in the Fulton jail to drink whiskey ? Who
made him a drunkard ? Who sold him the
poison that crazed him on Sunday night ?
Who made It? Who makes tho accursed
traffic semi-respectable ?
And a great nation—witii the best gov
ernment the world ever saw—licenses this
trade arid raises money thereby to carry
itself on in the interests of civilization!
And cities, towns and villages imitate the
example, and collect what thoy-can In
license taxes!
What about the morality of the pistol
trade in time of peace ? Pistols aro sold,
for the most part, to persons who do not
need them, and who should not be trusted
with them—who aro liable to get drunk
and shoot the first man they meet when
tho fit is on thorn. Have wo laws against
tho carrying of concealod weapons? Then
let them be enforced. And lot the silly,
cowardly practico bo frowned down by
all good people.
