Official Paper of Pike.
Parry Lee, Ed. – Prop’r.
The UnirrtM News has Just received
a new outfit of type, and is now one the
neatest papers, typographically and oth
erwise, iu seven slates.
The 0*0*01 a Improvement company
held a meeting in Atlanta last Tuesday
to consider, we learn, the advisability of
going to work on the extension of the A.
Jt K, road to Tliomaaville. While the
particulars could not be fully ascertained
enough Is known to authorize the state
ment that the extension wilt most prob
ably be made.
The Macom man, J. B. Adams, who
•was arrested upon a charge of forgery
lias starved himself to death. He died
last Wednesday as be was entering upon
hie mtb day of fasting. During all this
time he bod eaten two oranges and a
email bit it rake, tut his stomach
would not retain it, and so it may be
said that the fast was unbroken. It Is
believed that lie perished himself out to
atone lor his sine.
I* Atrasta hist Friday a woman was
fined *10,00 for beating her husband.
Niie alleged tbet for the past ten yoars
the beating had been taken by herself,
and that wlieu her husband came home
beastly drunk elie seized upon the op
portunity to get revenge. She used a
sound stick and after administering a
heavy quantity where she thought it
would do the most good, lot tho old fel
low up. The woman said she felt great
satisfaction in beating her husband. If
the precedent sot by this Atlanta woman
Should bo followed by other women
throughout tho country it will do away
with the Idea of an Inebriate asylum al
iogeVbvT.
Iu Griffin last week we noticed a very
large funeral proceteskm, th© largest tic
gro pr©c*«aioi 2 of the kind wo oversaw.
It w*s th#funeral of Madison Pitta, an
TMk\§?. ifa– the fol- f‘«
lowing story 1* told; In 1863 he was pur
chased In Virginia liy Capt, Henry Hill,
the sum of Ui.OtX) being paid for him.
From Virginia <’apt, Hill went to Haiti
more, taking Madison along as his body
servant. When there some one asked tho
captain what, lie would take for the ser
vaut, and not beiug anxious to part with
him said; “Oh, I suppose *H,000." Of
course not dreaming of the danger he
was running iu offering a si are for sale
where it was strictly prohibited by (he
state, the penalty being tlie losing of the
sieve thus offered. The parties made a
ease against the captain, and the night
before the trial the master told his ser
vant of his chance f .r freedom. Tl e next
murnin r the case was called and Madison
HR upon the stand. He said that
||% llill had bought him iu an le,in" l
ami lie believ <1 be bail rath
Georgia with blot thau to have
bis freedom. Mo came and up to ’05 was
the faithiu! slave of Opt. Hill. For
many Jems after Madison continued to
live wlih his old master. For the past
sixteen years be has bseti sextou of the
white Methodist church, but strange to
say, has never connected himself with
any religious organisation. A few days
ago he requested Hi v. Bindley of the
church he served as sexton to baptize
hies. Hr. Bradley appointed the hour
and esttaeaccompanied by seven or eight
prominent ourio and female members,
and lu the presence of his friends he w as
made a communicant of the Methodist
Church, ho being, perhaps, the only col
ored man In full fellowship with tho
North Georgia Methodist Episcopal
church, South, lie leaves a wife and
six children.
THU WOOLFQLK CASK.
The Woolfolk caao now goes to Hous
ton comity,
The trial was ordered discontinued
mid the ten qualified jurors In the grse
dismissed last Thursday. Up to this
time this trial has cost Bibb county 1,(1-
683. If the ease continues ten days in
Houston it will coat over *J,iX!0, which,
of course, Bibb county must pay.
When it was decided to try tlie. case iu
another county Solicitor General Felton
aud ( apt. Rutherford retired from the
court room to decide upon a suitable
county. They returned without coming
to any agreement. Capt. Rutherford In
sisted that the ease should uot be tried in
Crawford or Houston as they were con
tiguous to Bibb, and public sentiment
would be found prejudiced. (Vlieu Capt.
Rutherford finished bis arguments why
Crawford and Houston should uot bo se
lected, Judge Dustin delivered the
Jediuwing!
“1 don't'think 1 have l ight to go into
another circuit iu this state and preside,
nor do 1 think I have tlie right to stiift
the burden* of the trial ol this ease upon
one of the other judges of tlie state.
“ My misfortune comes from residing
in this circuit and it devolves upon iue,
from my standpoint, the duly of trying living
this ease. 80 far us Die feenngs

you suggested. Ill the first place a large this

to the evidence and expressing an opin

It is a well-known t'aet the press of At

p counts of this trial before the
evidence, and so far as any effect is con
cerned, it was discussed there much
more than it wax in any of the other
counties that did not have tlie daily
pipers. You can take your order, Mr.
Solicitor, changing tin* venue of this
case to Houston county. That is tlie
most convenient for witnesses and has

Your correspondent would gladly
comply with your request and elaborate
more fully tba great Importance of good
roads to the people of the state, but for
the fact that they, having bad line upon
line and precept after precept, they would
naturally feel bored by continually
thundering the subject in their ears.
Besides, an old proverb asserts that
none arc so blind as those who can and
refuse to see, or so deaf as those having
ears and bear not. Anything X might
say would prove as “sounding brass
or a tinkling symbol.” I cau only sug
gest that if the good people of Pike will
subscribe to and read The JoUrnai., as
well as heed its advice they will be soon
blessed with good reads. This they
should do, and not only do it, but do so
at once. As a general thing every citi
zen interested in the prosperity of his
county should encourage Ins county pa
pers without reference to minor differ
cuc.es of opinion, or hindrance from pet
•y spite or other personal matters.
When a man withholds his support from
his county papers he is injuring the
publisher but little and putting bis own
burdens upon bis neighbor’s shoulders
to carry, while be walks along the same
road to prosperity, selfishly enjoying bis
neighbor’s labor and capital unincum
bered. He enjoys the benefit of bis
neighbor’s public spirit aud liberty with
out any return for it. A county paper
that devotes its energies to the distri
bution of valuable information about its
county, benefits every citizen of the
county much more than tbetr patronage
of it amounts to. Ifence, every citizen
should patronize his county paper, or, at
least, one of them aud encourage his
neighbors to do so. Not to do so adds
to your neighbor’s burdens and to your
own atitude the unwholesome feature of
enjoying blessings pawl for by your
neighbor and fellow-citizen, to which, in
fact, you are in no wise entitled. An
old new spaper man myself, and one, too,
who has relished the “milk in the cocoa
nut” prompts this comment.
Hr. J. VV. Nelms, of whom I wrote
in my last letter, lias, sineo his gradu
ation, determined to plant in this city a
sat)itorium and equip it thoroughly aud
...onto, iwt-iy tor the treatment of
patients add.eted to the opium iinbit.
The doctor has made this loathsome
habit a special study and has discover
ed a sure, safe and speedy cure for it.
So certain is lie that, he can cure any case,
however inveterate aud of long standing
that be will, as soon as Ids sauitoriuro is
built ami furnished, advertise to guaran
tee cures in every ease upon tlie theory
of "no cure, no pay.” He will, I feel as
sured, advertise his plan in The Jorn
nA t., and then its leaders will learn
more of the doctor aud what he proposes
than it would be prudent in me to stale.
1 will, however, say that knowing Or.
Nelms as 1 do, lie will certaiuly do what
he promises to perform.
Atlanta continues to enlarge her boun
daries, as well as more densely crowds
her people, and every street and alley

Tlie Cooli go Brothers, the grand paint
stud oil merchants of this city, have also
planted, ami have iu successtuloperation,
a mammoth paint and oil mill where
they manufacture any variety of goods iu
their line. In their largo sale-room on
Alabama street can be bought at New
Vovk price* any and all kinds of paints,
oils, glass, paniuters’ and glaziers’ ma
terial. These new industries springing
up in tlie city vindicate >»y assertion that
Atlanta will, in two decades, lie the
manufacturing oily of the south. It is
also a favorable thought that these in
dustries arc being planted by sou!hern
men and with southern money. IITiile I
have no objection to Northern and VI est
capitalists locating and building
manufactories in the south, l am truly
glad to sec our own people fully awake
to such industries themselves; and I
would not be honest did I not attach
more importance to our own people
building factories w ith their own money
than to northern or western emigrants.
1 will also state tiro descendants of an
well-known and highly-esteemed
Zebulon family have a large banking
in this city. 1 allude to tlie Neal

A Wa tertown, N. Y. special says; At Nor
wood, Kt. Lawrence county, Saturday, E. L.
Smith, cashier of the Norwood bank, was alone
in the building about noon, when Charles
Phelps, a post ofllec clerk, entered and asked
for some stamps. Smith stepped into the vault
to get them, w hen Phelps quietly closed the
door and turned the combination, locking tin*
cashier in. The robber then turned to the
money drawer and took all the paper money it
contained—$278— leaving several hundred dollars
in silver. The amount would ordinarily have
been much larger on Saturday, but business
been light that day. and the robber’s booty
probably not nearly a* large as he had expected
it to be. Meanwhile a customer entered|
bank and saw what had happened. He heard
the cashier calling to him from the vault and
being instructed as to the combination, released
him. Nothing was heard of the robber until
morning train arrived ami he was discovered.
He had gone by a circuit route to
Fall" and taken a train there, hoping to
through Norwood at midnight without
detected and then goon to Ogtlensburg,
he could easily croFft lnt > Canada, but

The only reason, gays President Harrison,
why Manufacture’.* and and mining developed
more rapidly in New England and Pemmylvanui
than iu the South, >\aa slavery.
This is the remark of a very fuiperffeial observ
er. Why did not slavery continue to exbt iu
the Northern States? Simply because it was not
profitable. The agricultural resource* of New
England did not compare to those of the West
and South; hence profit h bio employment for
slave labor could not be found and the slaves
were sold South,
Then the tariff was established; a system by
which the Western and Southern States, chiefly
devoted to farming and from natural
were taxed to build up ihe mills of New England
aud the nm.es of Pennsylvania.
Thus established under the false plea of
feet ion to infant Industrie** the modern Plutoc
racy has grow n more insatiable with each pac
ing decade, and it successfully resist* every at
tempt to rui-tail it* cuoimous privilege*.
As far as the West aud South are concerned,
the tariff gives them no protection form New
England ami Pennsylvania. Alabama iron
meets Pennsylvania iron ui Louisville market.
The mills of Augusta meet the products of mills
of Lowell and Memphis, \r St. Ismi*. in Lhica
go, with no protevtiun w hatever. If there is
any virtue in protection, it should be applied
row betw een the states, if ever the infants < f
New England needed protection from com
petition with Old England, our mills aud facto
ries need protection from co»i)>etit)on with the
long established mills and factories of the East,
This ia the test which demonstrates the insin
cerity ol the advocates of the tariff.
The question in this sense may not lie section
al, but it is worse tbmn sectional, for it is con
trary to the spirit of liberty. The battle now
waging i.gsiinst the policy of restriction is a hat
tie of freedom, and
“Freedom's battle, once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft, Is ever won.”
The tariff builds np classes and class distinc
Hon; it taxes the |»«ir for the benefit of the rich;
it makes the rich more arrifront, more domineer
ing, more dangerous, it degrades the poor; de
strove hope In their hearts; stifles all iheir aspi
rations, amt it establishes a fntse wage system
that U little better than slavery.
