SHOT HIS ASSAILANT DEAD,
Clark Milisapp Gets a Ballet Instead
ot Wiiisky.
Jefferson, Ga., June 19.—1 n
Chandler district, Bart Moore, col.,
stabbed and shot Clark Millsapp,
col. From the wounds he died al
most instantly. Coroner W. A.
Worsham held the inquest and the
jury found that said Millsapp came
to his death from wounds inflicted
iby Moore and bound Moore to an
swer at the next term of the supe
rior court for murder. John Petty
john left Moore in charge of his
house, and together with his wife
went to a church meeting. Millsapp
went to the house and demanded
whisky, and Moore refused to let
him search for it and ordered him
oil' the place. Millsapp threatened
not only to brake in the cupboard
but to kill the two little girls in the
house. Moore attempted to drive
him off, and in the struggle cut
Millsapp twice in the back.
Millsapp then left and threatened
to return in a few minutes with his
pistol and accomplish his ends. In
a short time he returned with sev
eral roots. He was again ordered
off and kept advancing. Moore
fired and missed him, and Millsapp
continued to advance, and as he
reached the door, Moore placed the
gun against his abdomen and shot
him, killing him instantly. Moore
is in jail awaiting the August term
of the superior court.
SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.
The prosperity of the South is not
confined wholly to mining and man
ufacturing centres. While it is true
that in these lines of industry the
progress made has been greater
than in others, yet the growth of
all other industrial interests has
been great and positive. The total
assessed value of property in the
Southern States which was $2,818,-
418,527 in 1880, had increased to
$3,858,509,807, in 1887, a gain of
33;j per cent, in eight years. This
valuation represents the taxable ba
sis and not the full prosperity of
the States. The assessed valuation of
property in the South is less than
one third of the true market value.
While each State shows a marked
increase yet in sqme it was greater
than others. Florida showed a gain
of 150 per cent., Texas 110, Mary
land 90> Alabama 73, Arkansas 60,
tlic five lowest 1 >eing Louisiana.
Mississippi, South Carolina, Ten
nessee ami Virginia in the older
named.
In 1887 Alabama, Florida, Ken
tucky, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Texas and 'Virginia expended
s3,loo,oo''' more for public schools
than in 1880, which does not in
clude the largely increased expen
ditures of counties,cities and towns
for educational purposes. Many
academies, colleges and universi
ties were established and liberally
patronized. In the matter of edu
cational advancement the South
does not suffer by comparison with
any other section of the Union.
As further evidence of the yygi
tive prosperity of the farmers of
the South the reports of the United
States department of agriculture
show an increase in the cotton crop
of over that of 1880 of more
than 1,000,000 bales, and' in corn,
oats and wheat an excess of 195,-
230,370 bushels. During the eight
years from 18S0 to 1888 the in
crease in the value of horses in the ;
■ South was 50 per cent., of mules 75,'
of milch cows 45, and of hogs 20,'
making an aggregate income of
$185,267,345. This must be con
ceded to be rather a healthful and
hopeful increase in the value of live
stock.
Comparing tlic total value of the
soil products of the South for 1887
with that of 1879 the reports show
an increase in cotton of $82,000,-
000, in corn $71,000,000, in oats
$14,700,000 and in potatoes, tobac
co, etc., $35,000,000. This compar
ison would be made still more strik
ing if it inclded the value of the
products of truck farms, gardens,
orange groves and all fruit orchards
which would swell the increase to
nearly $250,000,000,this supplement
by the gain of $186,267,345 in the
-. d e of >toc’-'. most effectually dis
poses ol the ch: rges made ; i cer
tain qua ers, t:r ough si'<- r mo-
tives, that the South is not a desir
able farming country.
,i There is no truer indicator of a
country’s growth than the extension
of old and the construction of new
1 lines of railroads. Considering this
’ phase of material progress the
’ South is shown to be rapidly ap
proaching the swift and marvelous
' development which built up and
boomed the great West during the
3 two decades following the late war.
1 From 1880 to 1888 the increase in
the railroad mileage of Texas was
5,592 miles, of Florida 1,603, of
Arkansas 1,539, of Virginia 1,094,
’ of Georgia 1,072, of Mississippi
1,050, of Alabama 1,021 and a total
’ increase in the entire South of over
' 17,000 miles, or a gain of 90 per
cent., 43 per cent, greater than the
1 rate of increase in all other sections
' of the Union.
I These figures reveal such an in
' crease in property, farms and live
1 stock values and evidence such pro
> gress in every phase of material
development, that out of a compar
l Ison between the South of to-day
; J and the South of eight short years
1 ago springs a contrast striking and
almost incredible yet but sugges
tive of the far greater possibilities
and advancement which await de
velopment and will, with ten fold
increase, attend each coming year.

Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—Miss
Fannie Gordan, eldest daughter of
Gov. Gordon, was married in the :
Central Presbyterian church this}
evening to Burton Smith, a promi-

the old negro mammy, who has
nursed three generations of Mrs.
Gordon’s family.
President ami Mrs. Cleveland tel

Thought it Would Kill Him.
Coffeeville, Miss., Feb. 20,’88 ;
Gentlemen: I suffered with exze-1
ma for nearly two years, and was |
treated by three physicians, but
they could do me no good. 1 spoke
of trying S. S. S. and they told me
it would kill me, but I tried it any
way, and after taking six or eight
bottles, I was completely cured, and
have never been bothered since with
it, and I feel it a duty to you and
suffering humanity to make this
statement. H. S. Davis.

I confined to her bed for several yeais I
by this affliction, and ciuld not!
help herself at all. She could not

I stinging of the skin. The disease
I baffled the skill of the physicians
who treated it. Her husband began

almost immediately, and in a lew

- CHATTANOOGA, ROMS & COWMBUS,
President Williamson Talks-The Route
the Road Traverses.
! President Williamson recently
' made the following statement to a
reporter of the Chattanooga Times :
1 “Just as soon as we get through
with the Chattanooga and Carroll
' ton divisions we will go on. We
have to clean up and ballast the
track, fix up depots, paint up and
1 get everything in good working or
der. This will simply give us a lit
tle breathing spell, and then we will
start on for Columbus and Mont
gomery. We are going to build
these roads with the same haste
and determination as we did the di
vision we are about to complete.
“’When this road is finished we
propose to go into Florida if we
can’t make satisfactory connection,
and we will then have the shortest
line into Florida in the south.
“We now have the shortest and
quickest route to .Macon, Savannah
and Brunswick.
“We have as quick a line as any
to Atlanta and are four miles short
er than the East Tennessee and
twenty-four miles shorter than the
Western <t Atlantic, and vastly
quicker than either.
“Our syndicate is strong and ag
gressive, and we shall build roads
where we know they will pay, and
buy others if desirable.”
THE ROUTE.
I The territory opened up by the
ucw railroad can hardly be fairly
estimated as to wealth and resour
ces. In Walker and Chattooga, two
of the richest of the northwest tier
of counties, a populous and thrifty
people are already doing a vast bu
siness even without a railroad, and
there will not be a rail in either
county except those of the C. R. &
C. R. R.
Look at my face and my hands—
not a pimple,
Such as you saw there some time
ago.
Sec my fresh cheeks, and I’m get
ting a dimple,
I don’t look at all like I used to,
I know.
My face was all blotches—complex
ion like tallow;
No wonder they thought me and
called me a fright;
No one need have pimples and skin
gray and sallow,
If she'll take what I took, ev’ry
morn, noon and night.
1 asked the delighted young wo
man what she referred to, and she
answered, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery. It is the best beau
tifier in the world, because it puri
fies the blood, and pure blood gives
good health, and good health is al
j ways beautiful.

is a greater man than his party. In
stead of leading him, he does the
leading. I think he is the best
president we have ever had, as
strong and substantial as any man
could be. He doesn’t fear the party
and, on the contrary, it fears him,
and so they have to let him lead,
lie maps but his policy and the
leaders of democracy adhere to its
principles. He permits no man to
i dictate to him, and when once he
has made up his mind that a thing
is right, no man can change it.
Don't construe my meaning to be
that he is obstinate, but simply
that he is firm after convincing
himself that the stand he assumes
is justified by circumstances and
acts. He does not possess the mag
netism or personal popularity of
Mr. Blaine, but he has that stabil
ity which recommends him to busi
ness men. They know that his
I administration is not as brilliant as
that which possibly Mr. Blaine
would give us; they also know that
there is nothing erratic or loose
about it. I regard his first term as
being a conservative and substan
’ tial one, free from any signs of
1 weakness and beneficial to the coun
f
try at large. He is not governed
L by party demands, and does not
permit them to interfere with what
. he regards to be his duty. Mr.
. 'Thurman will add strength to the
. I ticket, as he is an able statesman
. . and a man of good sound pnnei-
