Willow—A Bloody Fruil.
From the Memphis Avalanche, July 30.]
During the month of February,
1872,against the posit ve instruction of
his attorneys, Mr. E. M. Apperson,
of this city, us executor of Wade M.
Bolton, paid over to Mrs. T. J. Jack
son the sum of $5,000, half sum be
queathed to her husband, General
Stonewall Jackson, who fell in notion
tttChanceilol'sville, Va., in 1864, white
commanding a corps of Confederate
troops.
At an interview on the subject with
Mr. Apperson yesterday he stated
that the heirs of the Bolton estate
have been in litigation for some time
past concerning the distribution of
the propoty, and while this legal con
test remains undecided the attorneys
deem it unwise for him to pay be
quests not ordered bv the court.
Contrary to this advice, however, and
solely because Mrs. Jackson lias
stated that she sadly needed the mon
ey, the executor bus paid her half of
the bequest, as above noted, lie lias
also paid the several heirs considera
ble sums on account of their prospect
ive inheritances.
valcbOf bolton’s estate.
The value of the personal property
belonging to the Wade Bolton estate
is estimated at SSOO,IKJO. A claim was
set up ill the courts some years ago
by Wash Bolton and Tom Dickens,
his former buism'ss partners, against
Ike and Wade Bolton for all their
estate is worth. Should the court de
cide in favor of the claimants there
will bo little or nothing remaining
after satisfying the judgment.
At the tiriie Wado Bolton made the
bequest of slo uoo to Mrs. Jackson,
lie was in hourly expectation of losing
his life by violence. Havng expressed
a desire to do something to enable
his name to iivo in the memory of
future generations unconnected with
evil deeds, Mr. Apperson himself
suggested a donation to Mrs. Jackson
of S2S,IKK). Bolton liked the idea, but
reduced the bequest to SIO,OOO.
After his death, which happened
a few months subsequent to the time
of making t lie bequest. Mr. Apperson
wrote ami infix me t Mrs. Jackson of
the matter, telling her also that as
soon as the terms of the law could be
complied with, the sum should be
made subject to her order.
AN OI.l) 11!,I ODY I'rcun.
There is a history connected with
the gat tiering of tills large and valua
ble Bolton i dale which is .full of
thrilling events an I voilcut deeds.
The proper! y was chiefly accumula
ted by trading in slaves through a
long series of y.iars. The business
Arm, known a- ltdtoii & Dickens,
had their location in a conspicuous
iiuildiug, situated on the bluff ill
front of the lower part of the city,
near the once famous Gayoso House,
Tourists oil passing steamers (then
the only method of traveling) invari
ably had their attention called to the
largo painted letters which adorned
the river-side wall of their structure,
laud which read “Jlolten Ji Dickens,
slave dealers.” The sign and the
linn booth Figure in Mrs. Beecher
Stowe’s story id. “Uncle Tom,” and
many letter writers of the day re
ferred and often commented severely
upon it, and Bolton & Dickens had
more than national reputation. They
hail branch houses at New Orleans
and elsewhere, and their agents
penetrated every section of the coun
try south of Mason and Dixon’s line
in search of black people to supply
the demands of their customers,
who embraced planters throughout
the ent ire Southwest. Many persons
and large sums ol money were em
ployed to aid them in this traflic.
THE INITIAL TBAODEY.
Over twenty years ago, a colored
lad was purchased somewhere in Ken
tucky, at a public sale, who had boon
manumitted by a will of his master,
and who was to be set free after he
arrived at a certain age. The condi
tions of the sale were named, and Bol
ton & Dickens' agent, one McMillan,
became the puenaser. Ho was con
veyed to their mart in this city, and
the firm subsequently sold the boy
for the sum of sl,B<tuto Thomas B.
Crenshaw, near Morning Sun, in this
county. The boy was considered val
uable, and brought a big price for
those times, but ho was sold as a
slave for life, nothing being said
I about his promised freedom. The
j colored boy informed his new master
of the actual situation. Crenshaw !
sent to Kentucky for a copy of the :
will, employed counsel for the boy
and the court and sided against the
| slave traders. They were forced to
1 return their ill-gotten dollars to
j Crenshaw, and also to pay ixeavy costs
fortheir misdemeanor. They had ex
pected MeMilleii to testify iutheirfa
vor. He failed to do so and stuck to
the truth throughout,
i The dealers managed to obtain a
) new trial, and having been deceived
] into the belief that McMillon would
swear as they wished, to prevent his
| reappearance, Isaac L. Bolton mur
dered him in his own house. This
was on the 2d day of June, 1857. The
atrocity of the crime was widely com
mented on throughout the entire
country, and it created much excite
ment everywhere. Bolton managed
by hard swearing, sharp manoeuver
ingand other tricks to have the venue
changed to Tipton county, Tennes
see.
In the meantime his friends were
active. They managed to iiave a
: sheriff and other officers elected to
suit their purpose. A jury was ob
tained for the ease, and after the ex
penditure of more than SIOOO,OOO in
money Bolton saved his neck arid
went clear. It is a remarkable fact
that in less than four years afterward
eleven of these same jurors had died
j violent deaths, and the other also died
i in an unnatural way some years uf
| ter.
COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, L 875.
. BLOODSHED FOLLOWS BLOODSHED.
A quarrel onsuod botwean Ihe
members of the slave dealer Ann,
which had boon dissolved by limita
tion within a few days of the murder
ous deed, as to who should pay the
enormous expenses of the trial. One
party contended that the Arm should,
be charged with the amount, and the
other that Bolton himself ought to
foot the bill alone, Th(f quarrel result
ed seriouslv to the contending par
ties. Ike Bolton, who did the kill
ing, died a natural death some years
ago. One after another the rest were
killed in altercations with ouch other.
Finally Tom Dickons killed Wade
Bolton, as before mentioned by shoot
ing him’down in front of Court square.
Some months later Dickons was as
sassinated while riding along the
public road, a dozen miles or so from
the city, and near his homo. A few
months after that, Tom Dickens, his
son, while trying to gather testimony
to prosecute the supposed murderers
of liis father, let his loaded gun drop
carelessly, the concussion ouused it to
go off and send the contents through
Ills bosom, causing his death.
This was the last death by violence.
Since then several prominent mem
bers of the family nave died in the
usual way, and the survivors are in
litigation as to how the estato shall
lie divided. Immense sums have
been expended in feeing attorneys In
tile civil suits since the trial of Ike
Bolton. Wado Holton gave to a sin
gle member of liis counsel a planta
tion on the Tallahtehie river in Mis
sissippi, which cost him $64,00(1. The
place, however, failed to realize for
the attorney more Winn one-sixtli of
its original cost-.
The bloody feud having terminat
ed, tho law contest will bo likely to
end some day, and after that the
heirs of the estate will doubtless re
ceive their respeclive shares, that is
if anything remains to be divided.

MB. SCItUfEDEU’s EXPERIMENTS- Ills
PRESENT PLAN OF OPERATIONS NEW
FEATURES OF THE ENTERPRISE.
Reported for the Baltimore Him.)
W. F. Schrceder, of Baltimore,
whoso invention in the shape of an
air-ship has been mentioned in the
.Sim heretofore, is going ahead with
tho work of constructing it, and ex
pects to ascend from the intersection
uf Boundary and Madison avenues
about tho 20th of August and try a
trip to Washington. Ho also believos
that he will he able to make a voyage
to Europe in fifty hours, and is san
guine generally that his invention
has “millionsin it.”
Mr. Schrceder has had this project
in contemplation for years, and those
who know him intimately have ovory
conlideueo in him as a practical, en
ergetic mail; of much mechanical in
genuity. Ho was, it is said, for years
connected as an engineer with tho
Prussian army, and during the Fran
co-Prussian war did much service in
the balloon corps, making frequent
ascensions. Ho Is a tall, well-built
young man, with fair complexion,
light curly hair, and auburn board,
and looks’like anything else than one
of tho Darius-Green living muuUtuo
type.
In securing a patent for his inven
tion Mr. Hohroeder was assisted by
Mr. G. W. Gail, of the linn of Gail A
Ax, who holds an interest in the en
terprise. Mr. Gail, it was at tirst sup
posed, would build tho balloon and
air-ship at his individual expense as
an experiment, but having referred
Mr. Hohroeder and his models, draw
ing, Sc., to u couple of skillful engi
neers and received a report of their
views on the practicability of the
project, agreed to waive all claims to
any part of the proiits to be derived
from the exhibition of tho tirst air
ship, and announced his determina
tion to have nothing to do with the
building of it. Mr. Sehrocdcrstat.es
that other capitalists will hack him
in building his balloon and air-ship,
and lie could get twice us much capi
tal as he wants without any trouble.
Mr. Gail states that in withdraw
ing from any connection with the
building of the first balloon ho re
served to himself all tho rights he
lias acquired in the invention ami
patent. Ho lias considerable faith
in Mr. Hohroeder, arid would like to
see him succeed in Ids undertaking,
but he hesitates to enter upon a pro
ject which he says “would call for
$5,000 to carry out, but it- might very
likely be more, and there would bo
no telling where it. would end.”
Mr. Hohroeder is having parts of
the ship manufactured at different
places. A wire-worker is making
frames, a machinist firm is construct
ing apparatus, and contracts have
been made for lumber, linen, &e.
It is expected that workmen will
to-day begin fencing in the lot of in
tersection of Madison ami Boundary
avenues, where the work is to be pros
ecuted. A correct description of the
balloon and airtship, as it, is to bo,
cannot be had at present, as the in
ventor will probaly make some vari
ations from the model.
The balloon is to lie egg-shaped,
very strong, and will hold 80,oou cubic
feet of gas. From the machine,
shaped like a lifeboat and suspended
below, a steel mast will run up at
each end, intersecting and bracing
the balloon. The balloon and ma
chine will tints be llrmly united. The
car will be suspended below the ma
chine. There is to be a rudder at
each end of the machine, and also a
propeller, each ilfteen feet long.
! These propellers working together
j act the one to pull and tho other to
push the ship forward. They are to
make twelve hundred revolutions per
minute. Gn each side will boa wing
thirty-five feet long that flaps like a
bird in flight, and will servo to raise
or lower the balloon or make it stand
still. A light eight-horse power en
gine will work the machinery, and a
gas generator is to be carried along.
The whole affair, it is expected, will
weigh 2,800 pounds, and will carry
12,000 pounds under ordinary condi
tion.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.

Si*?

If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened, and the keenest, point of a Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently ou tho arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for au ontire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not tho
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralise and
destroy tho poison, known us malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
we claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it, and applied it, and proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of the oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, ami thus enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can ho obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Bread and Peachtree streets, Atlauta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.
N. B.—None genuine without tho trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Atlanta, Ga., June 5, 1875.
Messrs. Lovk A Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter it had
run on mo for two weeks, 1 was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so 1 discarded all
mediciue, ami Biraply wore one of your Belts as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left mo entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
bo unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,
w. j. Wilson.
Atlanta, Ga., June 3,1875.
Dus. Love A Willson:
On the first day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasville, Southwes
tern Ga., and was treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in tho first stages of consumption,
wli en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love A Will
son’s Anti-malarial Belt, which lias entirely cured
me. 1 have had but one chill since, aud that was
the first day after putting it ou. lam now in as
good health as I over was iu my lile, aud think
this Belt a Ged-scnd to the afflicted.

Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875.
Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I havo suffered, at
times, ever siuce, until I met up with Drs. Love A
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, aud have had no
( bill since, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others Buffering with malaria.

and other remedies, and that they failed till they
