NKRIOI'N ACCIDENT.
MR. W. A. MARTINKRE BADLY INJURED.
Sunday afternoon a vory serious acci
dent happened at the Eagle ami Pfconix
mills, by which Mr. W. A. Martlnere,
general traveling agent for that factory,
was seriously injured.
He, with a party of gentlemon, was
buthing in the bath room which is attach
ed to the factory. The floor was very wet
and slippery, and as Mr. Martinore was
running across It, ho slipped and fell
heavily, striking his hood witli groat force
on the planks.
He was immediately picked up and
found to be insensible. He was given all
possible attention and was soon removed
to his home. Dr. E. F. Colzy was called in
and pronounced tho injuries received to
be soverc. Tho full was very heavy and
caused concussion of the brain. It was
thought by some present that a fracture
of tho skull had resulted. This was not
the case. Mr. Murtinero remained uncon
scious all the afternoon and all night.
Yesterday his consciousness returned and
lie seemed to be suffering very much.
The danger now is that the concussion
will result in a compression of tho brain,
whibii is so often attended with fatal re
sults. It was thought yesterday after
noon that Mr. Murtinero was better, and
that his recovery was probable. It is yet
impossible to speak definitely concerning
the case. Wo regret vory much that so
serious an accident should have happened
to Mr. Martinore and hope that he may
soon recover. It is a pity for so clever a
gentleman to bo thus injured.
4*rami Convention-
The negroes of Washington and Han
cock counties havo rosolvod to have a "na

sued, and despite tho present heat, or aqy
other impediment, the beautiful plans laid
will be carried out. The Augusta papers,
and nomoother journals in the State, seem
to have something like serious apprehen
sions about this national convention.
Tho call indicates that it is more apt U>
boa negro jubilee than a political move
ment worthy of note. As tho nation and
"nineteen counties" are invited, wo sup
pose tho colored people of Columbus will
be represented. The call is a curiosity,
and we publish ifcfor the benefit of all who
wish to knuw tho movements of the great
national convention agitators:
"There will ho a national convention of

Drvotlaiml Excursion.
A large party attended tho devotional
excursion of the Rrowneville Hinging
School to Mulberry last Sunday. The
train was crowded. The day was unusual
ly pleasant and everything passed off
nicely. There was an abundance of good
singing and other devotional exercises.
At noon all tho exeuslonists enjoyed the
luxury of a good dinner under the cool
shade. Mr. B. W. Brand led his school in
the singing, and they showed great pro
ficiency in music. The train returned in
the afternoon and brought book a happy
party.
We understand that at the solicitation of
his pupils ho will got up another excursion
te Mulberry in a few weeks. Those who
attended that on Bunday will be glad of
an opportunity te go agaiu.
Tho Brownoville Hinging School is quite
large and under the instruction of Prof.
B. W. Brand has attained considerable
proficiency in the art.
Invention.
Mr. Fred Meyer mid his assistants nt
the Southern mid Atlantic telegraph ot
llco, have displayed considerable inventive
genius in constructing an apparatus to
keep the operator cool while ho is receiv
ing a dispatch and writing it off. This
work keeps both Ills hands busy, and It. is
impossible for him to fan like ordinary
mortals. Tlie invention enables him by
simply moving his foot up and down to
turn a littlo apparatus to which a palm
leaf fan is attached, and whose motion
keeps tho air around quite cool. The ar
rangement Is very simple, but it is quite
“eute,” as the girls say, and it enables the
operator to be happy even in the hottest,
weather.

Mr. Hungerford, of the Postoflleo, yes
terday brought us a curious specimen of
vegetation in tho shape of a Chinese cu
cumber. It was exactly in the shape of a
snake somewhat coiled up. It had the
goneral form of the serpent, head and all.
It measured four feet and a half, and was
about the sise of a man’s arm. It was an
odd looking thing, and no matter how
good the vegetable may be we would pre
fer ours in some other shape.
Postponed.

come off to-night In tho church yard, has

Mr. Editor : I seo by a notice In the En
quirer tliat there wore 159 delinquent tax
payers notlfiod t hat as they had not come
up and paid their taxes executions would
be I gamed against thorn. This would look
well in print when our bonds are ad
vancing. It is unusual to force taxes so
early. It does not give tho prior a chance
to get the fall business and trade. I know
of a great many widows and orphans that
havo not eaten a square meal for months,
to try and Sffcvo a little to pay taxes. But
hunger overtook them and they had to
use It. A great many of them are widows
of dead Confederate*. These are the par
ties that are pressed so hard by our city
fathers. Why press some so hard and lx*
so liberal with others? 1 see they havo
appropriated sss per month for one to
whom our kind citizens were so liberal as
to give $l,lOO. I have no objection to all
of this, if they don't oppress others that
are so much worse off. Be Just and fair.

The telegraph brings us the sad novfs of
Lady Franklin’s death. After long suf
fering the end has come peacefully and
calmly. The story of her life, her noble,
constant lore for him who was dearer to
her than all else, her tireless labors to re
cover the remains of her lost husband—
all this is well known to the public, and
the interest felt in the noble woman has
been extraordinary. The New York Tri
bune speaking of the probability of her
death, a few days since, beautifully says:
"This woman’s conjugual love was of the
grand old heroic model; it took us bock to
the days of Cato and Luereatia. We even
felt a littlo surprised that the story should
have missed its way anti happened in our
own ago, among liepanlerod and fashiona
ble women, and petty Interminable scan
dal-gossip an<l suits in divorce courts.”
Floe Yield.
Crops are good almost everywhere thin
year, but there is a field of cam In Musco
gee county which will bear off the palm.
Those who have seen it pronounce it the
finest that has grown In tho county for
many a year. It Is growing atxnit fifteen
miles from tho city. Tho happy owner
assures us that tho field contains twenty*
fivo acres and that it will average forty
bushels to the acre. This is the opinion
of the neighbors. Tine farmer who has
raised this fine crop is young, and a few
morosuch abundant yields will give Mm n
fair start towards independence and
wealth.

HEW* FROM MARION.
room <K>QI>—APPEARANCE OF THE CAT
ERPILLAR.
Glenalta, July 15th, 1875.
Mr. Editor*: On tho road from Buena
Vista to Box Springs, we find maqy enter
prising small farmers, and crops look
well. We were particularly struck with the
Goshen farm. Hero tho corn is fine, and
we wf*o Informed tho yield of wheat and
oats was abundant. Anew ground was
broken up ami planted in peas only, in
rows three feet apart. Wo believe it a
a good idea, ami that it will prove more
profitable than com and peas. We have
traveled all the roads from Glenaita to
Columbus, ami havo inspected pretty
thoroughly that belt of piney woods coun
try about fifteen miles wide, extending
from tho Flint to the Chattahoochee riv
ers, and we pronounce it a fair country,
in which any industrious farmer can malic
"plenty to spare." The lands are cheap,
climate pure, timber plenty, water good,
railroad and market near. What more
can an industrious immigrant want! To
such this county offers a happy home.
The crops on the rood from Glenalta to
Buena Vista are fine. Jus€ below the lat
ter place lives an unsuccessful grocer, who
makes a successful farmer. Hero wo saw
some large line onion*—oighteen growing
from one button. Mule-baek we rode over
Mr. T. L. R’s farm, who has the best
cropßlnee the war—be i* another hog-and
hominy farmer, and we were amused to
sec the gentleman himself role in a wheel
barrow’ slop to his hogs which are fat, now
weighing about 15011)8. each, and he says:
"I expect to make them flue, as my oom is
good." Last winter he bought the Davis
place -good frame dwelling and other out
houses, gin house and screw, 800 acres of
land, 200 acres in the woods, for $1,600, and
expects, and we think reasonably too, to
make tho money clear on this crop. A
Columbus lawyer oneo owned this place
and lost money every year, trying to make
all cotton and no corn, we suppose, for his
mules were always poor—the legitimate
result of such a policy. Next we come to
Mr. J. M. A., and here witness a bee-rob
bing at midday. A large bunch of bees
were outside, when he blew smoke from
bi smudge upon them and they retired,
fie gentled them by smoking and wrap
ping upon the gum several times—threw
it down and knocked the head partly off,
blow in smoke but could not drive the bees
away, because they had very little honey.
Removing the hood ho took out all the
honey, covered with bees, which ho sc raped
into the gum. These bees seemed to leas
harmless as a house tty, and much more
gentle, for he handled thorn with impuni
ty. This gum had been robbed once be
fore this year and the honey was new, and
we iiad some for dinner, to which the
grxxl wife called us from the honev-taking.
To give you an idea how we cat down
hare, we have with us a little throe-and-a
half year old girl, from tho chill and fever
lands of Box Springs, who ate, at one
meal, five roasting e irs. Watermelons we
cat when we can; gathering thorn every
morning fresh from the vine.
The crops on Crooked creek are fine.
Hero is the best field of cotton we have
seen; It Is on sandy land, highly manured
with stable manure. Tho seed of which
are an improvement on the Dixon. As
many as seven grown bolls on a stalk. On
one stalk we saw four whiter and four red
blooms; on another seven red and one
white. Tho owner expects to bcikl to Co
lumbus the first bale of new cotton, by
wagon, this year. He has a pea, called
the Tennessee Crowder, that will remain
in the ground all tho winter and come up
tho next spring. He sowed wheat last fall
after corn, and these peas, since the wheat
was cut have come up, and have already
commenced running. Such a pasture we
seldom see. If the farmers would use
these peas they could save tho expense of
sowing and ploughing in stubble after
wheat and oats, and also realize a rich
coat of peaviue to turn under in the fall
for green manure. He has tried these
peas in this way for several years, and
they have never failed to come up. There
Is a farm in this neighborhood run by
young men; one of them clerked in a gro
cery store in Columbus last winter, and
lost his position on account of liard times.
Ho came to the country and went to
ploughing, reducing himself from 175 te*
140 pounds. He is thin, but stands by his
post- noble boy- to plough rather than
loaf. Tho boys of this farm have not yet
learned to make corn to the neglect of cot
ton. Their corn has grass in the drills,
but it may fill out well, if it continues sea
sonable. Their cotton Is promising.
On Sunday we attended a largo Sunday
school, whose superintendent Is Judge G,
W. Lowe, tho Ordinary of Marion county.
The first Sunday-school wo ever attended
was near tills spot, Tho older people we
know; the younger are strangers te us.
As we look on our minds run back to the
days of yore, when mother and father use
to worship around this altar. They are
buried in tho graveyard near by. Soon the
school is opened, and we arc agreeably
surprised at the singing. They have a
small organ, which is used only in the
Sunday-school, prejudice being too st rong
against education to allow the use of any
Instrument when tho great congregation
assembles to worship. Trenching by tho
Rev. Mr. McWilliams. Subject; Forgive
ness.
July 11th—-Our hopes are blighted; the
caterpillar fly has made its appearance
beyond a doubt. This evening, while walk
ing over the farm of Mr. James M. Armor,
wbd, like myself, has suffered often from
tho ravages of the caterpillar, we dis
covered, chased and captured two flies,
which we pronounced the very caterpillar
fly, sure. He puts out his lamp to-night.
Wo now close for some time, as we have
written you all we have seen or heard
Strange since wo left town.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradlield’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick ami fast tiiat tho Propri

rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal te the emer
gency, and the public iiiuy feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great rcmtxlv, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf

Messrs. Bradfield it Cos.:
Gentlemeif—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
arb happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have bx:n selling it since lSiis,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and Sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, wheii
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. Hho continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after tho death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us. and tgok it according to di
rections. it has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when site had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal or
money without anv benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
W. Root A Sons.
