The German Carp In Georgia.


- The Atlanta Constitution, publishing an
interview as to the merits Of the much dis
cussed German Carp as a food fish for South
ern waters, says:
"rhere are not strong enough words in the
English language to tell how we'll they have
done in Georgia" says the doctor, and in an
swer to the assertion that the flesh Of the fish
is insipid and stringy, said: Il am able to say,
from actual and careful experience that there
is no truth whatever in the statement.

The Prohibition Movement.
- We have received, with request to pub
lish, the following circular from Rev. S
Lander:
The State Convention which is to meet in
Columbia on Tuesday, Sept. 9th, will need
reliable information as to the real strength
of the Prohibition sentiment in the State
This will be indicated somewhat by the mum
ber of persons who will leave their business
and attend its sessions. But, besides, it vii
be highly desirable to know the number O
petitioners for prohihitory law.
l., therefore, hereby earnestly request al
persons who are circulating petitions to pusl
the canvass vigorously during the presen
month, and mail the papers to me at Will
liamston, by the first Of September, that
may have time to count the names according
to counties, and report the result to the conven
ton. Let us have full representation from
every county, as we'll as from every churcl
and temperance organization in the State.
Humbly praying the divine blessing on ou
united efforts to save our people from tn
curse of rum, I remain S. LANDER.

Argument for q new trial in the case
Of Wilson vs.. the Merchants National
Bank was heard before Judge McCallis.
ter on Wednesday, Dec. %, 1880, and
decision rendered Jan. 10, 1881. The
statement o. the case is as follows:
Wilson sued the bank for the loss Of
special deposit. In November, 1870,
Wilson took to the bank 10000 in U.
s. sos, in q sealed snveloue, as a spe-
oial deposit. The cashier credited II
to Wilson in the yellow covered book
kept for the purpose Of registering
special deposits and handed 1t to the
clerk Of the banking room with the
command to place II in the safe. The
clerk threw the package upon the desk
intending to place 1t in the safe, but
his attention being called TO some other
matters he forgot 1t, and left 1t lying
on the desk. When he locked the safe
at night he left 1t (the package) on the
desk, and the jsnitOr, whose business
1t was to clean up, seeing the package
lying on the desk absconded with 1t.
The Judge refused TO charge the jury
that the defendant was liable In case Of
gross negligence. Verdict for defend ant.
The plaintiff moved for q new trial on
the following grounds:
lst, That the conduct Of the clerk
amounted to gross negligence, for which
the defendants were responsible.
End, That the defendants were re.
sponsible for the negligence Of the clerk
or officer, or for the loss or robbery by
its employees oocasioDed by the negli'
gepce Of one Of its employees.
Lnburne Chandler, counsel for plain.
tiff; Walter Hayes, Walter B. Bacon,
counsel for defendants.
Judge McCallister granted the mo-
ton for new trial, and stated that
the Judge had misdirected the jury.
He also decided that q National Bank
may receive special deposits.
Next Wednesday q quiz class will be
held, and every law student is invited
to attend.

There having been several small
burglaries in the neighborhood OF Wal

provided himself with a revolver,
which he duly loaded. After time
however, he thought he should like TO
have 1t discharged, but found his

He therefore sent for the neighboring
blacksmith, aiman Of known courage,
and got him TO fire the pistol off for
him. His friends now naturally want

Samuel SchoasId fries to XIII
Himself ON the Street Sunday
Evening.
The Ninth Ward had an exciting
episode last evening about $50 O'Clock,
when young fellow named Samuel
Jchofeld deliberately shot himself in
the head with suicidal intent, while
walking up Market street. The Soho
fields live on Market street above
Twsnty-second, in little brick house.
The family consists Of . father and
mother, son and his wife and infant.
The father and son work in Melville
Gambrill & Co. . Arlington Cotton Mill.
They are weavers, and are considered
good workmen.
Yesterday, as Is the case with too
many Ninth Ward workmen, both the
Schofelds went around on Lamotte
street to an unlicensed saloon, kept by
an I2glish widow, and with boon conn
psnioAs Crank gYeat deal Of very bad
Thiskey. NThis saloon, by the way, is
spoken Of as vssv disreputable place,
and though unlicsnsed and open all
the time, the proprietress has never
been arrested. When father and son
went home there was trouble in the
household, and crazed by drink, the
elder Schofeld cruelty beat his wife.
This caused quarrel between father
and son, and about 80 o'clock they
met on Market street near Twentieth.
Hot words ensued, and the son, call
ing his father TO an account for beating
his mother, said he had Q great mind
to shoot him. With this intention he
had borrowed pistol, and, though he
had 1t in his pocket, he made no effort
to carry out his threat. Young Soho
field was SO drunk at that time that he
apparently did mot know what he was
doing. He and his father separated
and he staggered on out Market street
toward home. When in front Of the
NJ. E. church he paused, and dsliber-
stely raised the pistol to his head and
fred. He Immediately fell to the pave
ment. Bystanders hurried up and car
ried him to the Office Of DR.. Chadwick,
but the doctor was out. He was then
taken TO the Office Of DR.. ShortIidge:
As he was being removed he groaned
and talked incoherently to the crowd,
saying "good BY" "I'm going TO de-"
and other mutterings.
But the investigation Of the doctor
showed that he was not going to die at
all. The cartridge with which he shot
himself was 22-l00 in size, and had
entered in the back part Of the head
near the left ear. The skull was slight
ly fractured, but, when the patient was
put under the influence Of ether, the
doctor was unable to find the ball by
probing.
This morning he was resting easier,
and DR.. Shortlidge told a REPUBLICAN
reporter that he thought Schofeld
would recover. Schofeld is about rs
years Of age.

The itiperanE Temperance TalkeE
Now on tine Pacific slope.


u has been . long time since George
Milo butcher, 30 Well-knOwn In VIII
mingtou, has been heard from. The
last acconnt, received in the summer,
stated that he was in Illinois and Kan
sas. he now turns up In California,
and is lecturiDg on temperance still.
The name Of the place where he now Is,
Santa Cruz, would indicate that he
has struck good field for temperance
work.
The Santa Crrz Sentinel, q weekly,
published st that place, has good
word for him, rs follow:
"Mr. butcher, the ten perance lee
turer who Is lsboring with us, obtain
ed 100 signers In two evenings, who
agree not TO use intoxicating liquors a.
beverage. $1,000 citizens Of California
have signed the pledge for Mr.. butcher
since his arrival on. the coast last July.
He Is reformed man, and knows by
experience the sorrow that comes from
the use Of strong drink, His motto is
kindness to all, and his White Ribbon
Clubs are based on that principle which
will secure thousands as mem bers Of
his organization that could not be reach
cd in any other way. California people
will not be driven, but kindness will
touch their hearts.
Another issue Of the paper, on Jan.
Sth, says:
"George Milo butcher, known as the
drinking mans friend, has been invit-
ed by the pastors, churches and tenn
persnce people Of Vera Cruz, to com
