Let V* Hum Cheaper Kents.
Editor* Times: The season for renting
Is at hand, and the landlord and tenants
should agree upon a fair and equal basis.
Tho business prosperity of Columbus
among merchants, mechanics and pro
fessions, Is far liolow what It has been.
The future outlook Is still more gloomy;
and tho rents of the coming year should be
reduced at least twenty-five per (sent, lie
low that of the past year. The land
lord should no longer demand twenty per
cent, upon his real estate, nor the tenant
submit to such extortion. The rate of
ten per cent, investment in real estate, will
more than pay tax and insurance, and
yield the landlord over eight por cent, as
an Income. Let taxes be ever so high—
the landlord requires of the tenant an In
crease of his rent to moot the tax. It is
thus’ tho tenant is tho sole miff ever, and
the burden of taxation falls upon those
less able to bear it. The landlord should
bear oqually with the tenant In sustaining
the burdens of taxation, and adjust his
rents accordingly. “Live and let live,”
should bo the motto of both landlord and
tenant—and the repairs, and taking care
of of rented property, should be equally;
observed and demanded by both parties.
These reflections are offered with the
view of so harmonizing landlords and ten
ants that a fair ront may be obtained
without loss to tho landlord or a desire to
oppress those who are compelled to rent.
To be a successful and harmonious people,
we must aid (as far os possible) each other
in our embarrassments, and become a
united people In sentiment and in action.
A Citizen.
There Is no gainsaying “Citizen’s” facts,
so far os It relates to the of the peo
ple. They do want cheap rents. The cry
for cheap homes Is now heArd from every
quarter, and the day will come when en
terprising capitalists will construct cheap
houses. The trouble is that tho rented
houses in Columbus are built too costly,
not In point of architecture, but In loca
tion and area consumed.
While we want cheap rents It Is hard on
the landlord to reduce his rents. Asa
general rule lie makes no money, for after
[laying an enormous city tax, insurance
and making repairs, he has left very little
for his Interest on his investment, in many
Instances not over four per cent.
Mercer l'Diversity.
Wo have received a catalogue of this
flourishing institution, situated at Macon.
It is certainly in a fine condition, and a
futuro of prosperity seems open before it.
The buildings of the University are elegant,
and commodious. They were erected
about two years ago at a very large cost.
The number of students In attendance
during tho past collegiate year was 130.
The high schools which are tributary to
the University had 244 pupils in attend
ance. The class which graduated in July
numbered 20. There are seven young men
in attendance on the law school. The next
term begins the first Wednesday in Octo
ber. A large number of new students are
expected. The faculty of the University
Is one of the best in the South. Rev. A. J.
Battle, formerly of Virginia, is President.
Prof. 8. P. Sanford, Dr. John J. Brantley
and Prof. Joseph E. Wlllet arc known to
many of our readers.
Mercer University has an ample endow
ment fund. Tho Baptists of Georgia have
worked nobly for tho success of the insti
tution. The city of Macon has also ex
tended considerable financial aid to it.
The University Is on a firm basis finan
cially. It is a good Institution and de
serves tho success it is now enjoying.
Our Omln-CJung.
The chain-gang is eminently useful to
tho city. For the past week the striped
citizens have been engaged in improving
our streets in various ways. They have
opened and cleaned out several sewers
which nooded attention. They work well.
They make quite a little company, and
preserve tho best of order. Tne other day
while they were at work in front of the
Times office an amusing little incident oc-
our rod.
Our pressman when at work consults
comfort more than external appearance.
Ho lias a suit of coarse osnaburgs which
he wears around in the press-room to save
his good clothes. By chance this osnaburg
suit has broad stripe# all over it, and looks
very much like the chain-gang garb. Our
pressman had occasion to go out on the
sidewalk while the chain-gang was at
work very near it. When lie turned to
come in ho was ordered by the guard to
“get into ranks” and go to work. His con
sternation may bo imagined. Ho was be
ing carried into tho street vi et arum,
when several employee# of the office went
to his rescuo and Identified him. He now
remains close around tho press while lie
lias on his striped disguise.

of tho State they would pay and Improve

BLOODY AFFRAY!
Two Men Croc* the River to Fight f
BOTH TEBBIBLY WOUNDED!
About twelve o’clock Monday night one
of the most desperate fights ever known
around Columbus occurred just across tho
river. Both of the combatants were terri
bly wounded and little hope is entertained
of tho recovery of one of them. There
were no witnesses to the fight and It was
exceedingly difficult to learn the details.
Various reports were In circulation, and
the friends of each party had very differ
ent versions of the affair. Wo learned the
facts as boat wo could and will give both
statements of the case.
Tho two parties in tho. bloody affray
were Tom Bowen, an operative in the
Southwestern Railroad shops, and Asbury
Miller, who does business on Broad street
near No. 1 engine house.
Whether the parties had any old grudge
or unsettled quarrel wo could not learn.
They met Monday night about eleven
o’clock at A. L. Harrison’s corner, near
the Mobile A Girard depot on Broad street.
They got into an excited discussion and
soon words carno to a fierce quarrel.
Bowen proposed to settle the matter on
the spot. Miller said ho would prefer
to cross the river and fight it out.
▲OBOSS THE RIVER.
This proposition was agreed to and the
two walked side by side gloomily across
the bridge. It is thought they crossed the
railroad bridge, as the fight is said to have
occurred near the track. When they ar
rived on the Alabama shore they walked
some distance until they came to a clear
Bpot. The two reports differ as to the
subsequent part of the affair.
ONE STATEMENT.
Bowen’s friends say that Miller told
him to step and then asked him to step off
the ground and see If It was level. As he
turned his back to Miller and walked some
distance from him, Miller snapped a re
volver at him. As it failed to lire he
snapped again, and again it failed to lire.
By this time Bowen turned around and
faced Miller. The latter then fired, the
ball striking Bowen in the muscle of his
right arm. Bowen started for his antago
nist, but before he could reach him was
again shot, tho ball entering his abdomen.
Notwithstanding these two severe wounds
he seized Miller and, as Bowen’s friends
say, a
FIERCE COMBAT
ensued. Bowen must have had almost
superhuman strength. He beat Miller
terribly, bruising different parts of his
body. He seems to have spent his fury
on his head. The face was badly beaten
up, the right eye received a severe blow
and tlie left eye was pulled almost out. It
Is still protruding terribly and will in all
probability never be of any future service.
The other eye is also seriously injured.
Bowen seems to have been very little hurt
by this part of the encounter. It Is said
by some that the fight occurred near the
railroad track and that Bowen beat Mil
ler’s head against tho rail.
ANOTHER VERSION.
Miller’s friends tell quite a different tale
from the above. They say that after the
men had crossed tho river Bowen as
saulted Miller with brass knucks, und
that his head was beaten up terribly be
fore he fired. They say Miller shot In
self-defence, and only used his pistol to
save his life. Both parties agree that
Bowen had no pistol, and his friends deny
that he had any brass knucks. Miller had
a revolver, which carried a medium sized
bail. His friends say ho tried to avoid the
difficulty, but that Bowen seemed bent on
a fight.
After their bloody encounter was over
both men were powerless, of course. Af
ter some time Miller made his way to a
neighboring house and remained there
until help arrived, when he was carried
to his father’s house, on Oglethorpe street.
Bowen was cared for by some negroes,
who came up when tho fight was nearly
over, and brought to his mother's resi
dence, on Few street, near tho Catholic
Church, early Tuesday morning.
We give both versions of tho affair, and
do not pretend to say which is the true
one. The friends of both parties are con
fident in their assertions, and we only
give what was currently reported yester
day.
The two men are about tho same age—
both being a little over 21 years. Of the
two, Bowen is much the larger and stout
er. He is •employed as a blacksmith, and
is a man of great physical strength.
Medical attention was called to both the
wounded men yesterday. It is thought
that Miller will recover without any diffi
culty, although lie is suffering a great
deal. Bowen’s recovery is exceedingly
doubtful. Both wounds are very severe,
and his recovery cannot be looked on as
very probable. He was resting well yes
terday afternoon. A warrant for his ar
rest was brought in while he was quiet,
and excited him considerably. We heard
of no change in his condition during the
day. He is very low.
The affair was terrible in all its details,
and Is deeply regretted by all. With our
information it was impossible to judge
who sought the difficulty or who was
most in the wrong. We simply give facts
as reported to us.
Dr. Word is attending Miller, and says
he will recover in a few days. l>r. George
Grimes is attending Bowen.

Huptlst Meeting.
The Baptist meeting which recently took
place at Mount Zion, Harris county, about
six miles above Columbus, was not a meet
ing of the Columbus Association, but mere
ly of the Third District of the Association.
The Association does not meet until Octo
ber. It will convene in this city on Satur
day before tho second Sunday in October.
The meeting at Mount Zion was very
largely attended and was of interest to all
present. Rev. C. A. Kendrick, of this city,
preached the introductory sermon last
Friday morning. Rev. J. F. Reeves, of
Browneville, preached at night. Saturday
morning Rev. W. J. Mitchell, of Talbotton,
preached a very fine sermon. Mr. M. is a
young man of fine talents, and has ac
quired great reputation recently. He is
fast building up his church in Talbotton.
Rev. William Lively preached Saturday
night. All these sermons were heard by
large congregations.
On Sunday morning Bov. C. A. Kendrick
preached again. His sermon was excel
lent. The crowd was then much larger
than before. Tlie church could not seat
all who came. Many drove their buggies
near the windows and listened there. In
the midst of the sermon It began to rain,
and the church was more densely packed
than ever. After the sermon fifteen or
twenty persons rose and asked for the
prayer of the congregation. Rev. W. J.
Mitchell preached an impressive sermon
in the afternoon. An interesting discus
sion of the Sunday-school question was
had after tho sermon.
The people in the vicinity of Mourn. Zion
were as hospitable as whole-souled coun
try people can bo. They did all in their
fiowcr for the comfort and pleasure of all
visitors. On Sunday quite a party went
up from Columbus.
The meeting of the Columbus Associa
tion in October is looked forward to with
much interest. There will be a large num

Why Will A'on Pine Away I
WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
The demand for Dr. J. Bradfield’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
tho annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
etor has. heretofore been unable to fiU
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feel assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, ail over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradfleld, Drug
gist. Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 jer
bottle by druggists throughout America

Messrs. Bradfleld d* (Jo.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
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, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It lias 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 she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable rente-]
