West End Locais. Mrs. I. T. Callaway has visiting her this week, relatives from Americus. Miss Eva Mathews is quite sick at her mother’s home, on Gordon street. Miss Ella Pope has Miss Ella Jones, a popular young lady of Augusta, as her guest. . The family of Mr. Prell, at 43 Ogle thorpe avenue, have moved to 56 Houston street. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Averett, whose marriage occurred on Tuesday morn ing in New Albany, Miss., are at home to their friends at 208 Oak street. Miss Mary Haralson, who has been quite sick for several weeks, at her father’s home,No. 28 York Ave.,is able to be up and enjoy these lovely Indian summer days. Mrs. T. W. Shackleford and sons, Masters Tom and Robin, of Tampa, Fla., spent a couple of days in West End with the family of Mr. M. F. Harmon, at 42 Dunn street. Mr. Arthur R. Rodgers and wife have removed to Birmingham, Ala., where they will reside in the future. Mr. Rodgers holds a responsible posi tion with the Southern Bell and Tele phone Co., in Birmingham. The sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to Major and Mrs. E. M. Stoeber, in the death of their youngest son, Otto, which occurred on Sunday morning last. The body was carried to Columbia, S. C., to be interred in the family section. The large audience which filled the chapel of the West End Christian, church on last Friday evening, was thoroughly appreciative of the exer cises. The ladies of the church had made the hall look very pretty with decorations of palms, cut flowers and drapings of large flags. The music furnished by the “Rosebud Mandolin and Guitar Club,” was very enjoyable, nnd reflected great credit on the young men. A neat sum was realized for the building fund. A Gallant Private. When a great general fights a great battle and gains a great victory his country and the world applaud. It is well they should applaud, but how about the privates and minor officers whose spiiited co-operation and indi vidual daring contributes to and makes the great victory a possibility? How about the common soldier who volun teers to go into the enemy’s lines to procure lhe information necessary to the general’s intelligent plan of battle, knowing that he takes his life in Lis own hand and that the chances are against his coming out of the expedi tion alive; knowing, too, that if de tected, his death will not. be that of a soldier on the battlefield, but of a felon, for spies are hanged as though they were felons. The general is buoyed up by ambi tion, hoping that he will make a repu tation that will live in history. The pri vate only hopes to find reward in the consciousness of duty well performed. Is not as great a mede of praise due to the one as to the other? Among the many of our comrades who laid down their lives for the com mon cause, no braver man died with spurs on than’Sergeant William Moore of Company G, First Georgia Cavalry, in our Civil War. As many will remember, when the army, then under Gen. Kirby Smith, went from Cumberland Gap, Tenn., into Kt ntucky, in 1862, our brigade, composed of First Louisiana, Third Tennessee and First Georgia, and commanded by Col. Scott, formed the advance guard. We crossed Cumber land mountain below Cumberland Gap, and captured the enemy’s wagon train at London, Ky. 'After being in our saddles almost continuously for nine days and nights, the battle at Big Hill, Ky., then Richmond, Ky., was fought, and later Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky was taker, then went on and fought the battle at Mun fordville, Ky., under General James R. Chalmers. While on this campaign, Sergeant Moore was out foraging one'afternoon, and while riding along an obscure country read, suddenly found himself confronted by a Federal cavalryman out on a similar expedition. Both made a grab for their revolvers, but Sergeant Moore was quicker by few s< conds, and getting the drop on Mr. Bluecoat, he invited him to come south with him. After taking one glanee into "the muzzle of a 44-revolver, the Federal accepted the invitation and together they started for the Confederate camp. They bad gone but a short distance when our hero discovered, somewhat to his dismay that he was lost, he ha<l wandered further away tiian he intended, and realized that he could not tell whether his own camp was north, south, east, or west. Night was coming on, and finding a farm house, accommodations for the night were asked, and readily granted, and as sitting up to guard his prisoner was not to be thought of, captor and cap tive slept together in the same bed. Both being tired almost to exhaustion, they slept soundly until morning. Early in the forenoon Sergt. Moore found his way to camp, and the prisoner was turned over to Co). Scott. , After the battle of Chickamauga in 1863, Gen. Longstreet’s corps started back to Virginia, via Knoxville, Tenn., our brigade, Col. J. J. Morrison com manding, being again in advance. After the fight at Philadelphia, Tenn., we drove the enemy back into London. Here Sergeant Moore and Joseph Hammond,also of Co. G, First Ga. regiment of cavalry, volunteered to go into Knoxville is spies and se cure what information they could as to the enemy’s plans, movements, etc. They made the trip successfully, se cured valuable information, but were captured near Lenoir’s station, on their return. They claimed to be deserters from the Confederate army, but were nevertheless, taken to Knoxville and put in prison. The next day while Moore was pass ing through the prison yard, one of the guards called out to him, “hello, Johnny, what are you doing in here,— don’t you know me? lam the fellow you captured and slept with in Ken tucky.” Moore replied that he had got tired of fighting and had deserted. “No,” said the guard; yon are not the kind to desert—you are a spy”— and no argument could convince him to the contrary. Seeing that this man would be a formidable witness, against him, our friend and his companion determined to escape at all hazards, which they succeeded in doing n few nights after wards, and this time got safely into the Confederate lines, delivering to General Longstreet the valuable in formation they had obtained. For this act of daring they were given a 60-days’ furlough, Hammond going home with Moore to Georgia. The former being an East Tennes seean, was one of the “orphans of the Confederacy,” as those were called whose homes were in the Federal lines. " Hammond had a brother in Co. G. First Ga.; poor fellow, he was killed January, 1864, near Dandridge, Tenn., after he left for Geor gia, and also a brother and brother-in-law in the Federal army. Thus were brothers arraigned against brothers and families against families. After participating in every fight of the retreat from Dalton, always con spicuous for his bravery and devotion to duty, Sergeant Moore gave up his life in Fulton county, near Howell’s Mills, on Peachtree Creek, in 1864. When the summons came for him, it found him where he was always to be found, on the skirmish line far In front of bis own command, and facing the enemy’s line. We buried him on a hill near where the new waterworks are now, and though, “Few and short were the prayers we said,” his comrades have never forgotten his kindness of heart, his cheerfulness, bis generosi ty, his bravery and heroic death. I would like to know if either Ham mond or the Federal soldier is still living. Sergt. William Moore was a brother of (.'apt. Jake Moore,now of the Geor gia penitentiary department. Geo. A. Webster, Lieut. Co. G, First Ga. Regt. Cavalry. PORTO RICANS NOT FIT. It Will Take Years to Capacitate Them For Self-Government.

One of the principal features of the Georgia legislature, now in session, will be the effort to submit a constitutional amendment to the people of Georgia , disfranchising the ignorant negro vote. For several years the question of ballot reform has been touched upon by the governor, and the matter has been discussed by the legislators in caucus on many occasions, but never before has the fight for an absolute white man’s party in the state taken such definite shape. It takes a two-thirds vote in the assembly to submit an amendment to the people, but the ratification takes only a majority vote. In the present general assembly of 175 members of the house and 44 sen ators there are only nine in both branches who are not Democrats. Os the total of five Populists it is said that four will support the bill. The Republicans will oppose it. The main opposition t4> this proposed amend ment, therefore, will come from the Democrats. This opposition will be ■ bused on two or three arguments that will be strongly presented. First, it will be said the disfran chisement of the negio vote will cut down Georgia's representation in con gress. Second, it will be argued that the ne gro vote in Georgia is under control, that the counties are all practically Democratic and that the conditions do not necessitate a measure of the kind. Third, it will be opposed by some politicians who have heretofore and do now deliver the negro vote in their counties at tteir will. The friends of the bill, who are probably now in the majority, will argue that there are now one hundred thousand eligible negro voters in Georgia; that in fifty-six counties in the state the negro vote is in excess of the white vote, and the present conditions are dangerous, if not men acing, and should be remedied before Georgia feels the disgrace that pre vailed in North Carolina for five years previous to the last election in that state. It will be further advanced that the very principle of according the right of suffrage to an ignorant, incompetent man is wrong and should be amended. SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
