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. The Nurse Was There 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- ■ nent young attorney of this city. An interesting feature of the ceremonies was the presence in the front scat of the church of Mary, the old negro mammy, who has nursed three generations of Mrs. Gordon’s family. President ami Mrs. Cleveland tel egraphed congratulations. Miss Gordon and Mrs. Cleveland are in timate friends. When nature falters and requires help, recruit her enfeebled energies with Dr. J. 11.

Lee, of the Mormon church passed through the 1 city in charge of twenty mormon converts mostly women enroute to Salt Lake. The converts are from Talledega county and points in west Alabama. They will be joined by twenty others at Memphis. Ehler Lee will be joined by other elders in charge of squads of converts from Tennessee and Mississippi. Thursday morning they will leave Memphis for Salt Lake with 200 converts. Thought it Would Kill Him.

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. Montfort House, Wills Point,) Texas, April 5, 1888. i To the Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, I Georgia. Gentlemen: Our baby when but! two weeks old was attacked with a | scrofulous affection that for a time destroyed her eyesight entirely, and ' caused us to despair of her life. She was trerfted by the best physi- < cians without benefit. We finally I gave her Swift’s Specific,which soon relieved her completely, and she is , now as hearty a child of three as ! can be found anywhere. E. V. Delk. I Waco, Texas, May 9, 1888. | Gentlemen: The wife of one of | my customers was terribly afflicted ■ with a loathsome skin disease, that I covered her whole body. She was I confined to her bed for several yeais I by this affliction, and ciuld not! help herself at all. She could not | sleep from a violent itching and I stinging of the skin. The disease I baffled the skill of the physicians who treated it. Her husband began finally giving his wife Swift’s Spe cific, and she commenced to improve almost immediately, and in a lew weeks she was apparently well. She lis now a hearty, line-looking lady, with no trace of the affliction left. Yours very truly, J. E. Sears, Wholesale Druggist, Austin Av. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis ease mailed free. Tn, Swir- Specific < o. Drawer 3, Atlanta, (>s. - 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.

Copeland, a well-to-do farmer, died at Flint, Morgan county, at the age of 88. When the south seceeded in 1861, Copeland took an oath he would never shave again until the southern confederacy established its independence. He kept his oath and his beard at the time of his death was nearly seven feet long. Did You Ever. W. IL Revels, M.

McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, was interview ed by a reporter for the Denver News some days ago. Here is what he said about President Cleveland: “The fact is that Mr. Cleveland 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- Ip'ws”
