The Kirkland Riot.

Albany News and Advertiser.
1t is not the custom or the desire
of the News AND ADVERTISER to mis-
represent any one, and its columns
are always open to those who feel
they have been aggrieved. The re-
port OF the Kirkland riot, as publish
in the News AND ADVERTISER, was
given as news items, and it APP
peared just AS it was represented to
us. The Berrien County Neavs
gives the other side of the case as
represented by the gentlemen charg-
ed with the riot. We cheertullv
give place to the version as given
given by the News, without com
ment, as no comment was made in
he first instance
Last Sundays issue of the Albany
News AND ADVERTISER contains an
account of a riot which took place
at Kirkland last Saturday. The
writer of said account, according to
his information, cites Megsr<. A. j.
McCrea and w J. Nelson, two mer-
chants of this place, and Mr.. Daniel
Turner, a merchant and turpentine
dl>tiller of this county, as the insti
gators of the riot. These gentlemen
upon reading said article pronounce
it incorrect. From them we get the
following particulars of the affair
Mr.. McCrea was in the smoking cab,
which is also used as a passenger
coach for colored travellers, ENJOYING
his cigar, when ''cullurd gemman''
entered and ordered him out. Mr.
McCrea remarked that he had paid
his fare and was at liberty to ride in
that coach if he wanted to. The
negro argued with him while and
then began to abuse and curse him.
Mr.. McCrea listened to this until it
became unbearable, when he got up
and began to choke the negro severe
ly. MIR. Nelson entering just then
pulled McCrea off and pushed him
between the seats. No sooner did
McCrea loosen his hold than the ne
gro grabbed Nelson and attempted
to choke him. Turner came in and
pulled tie negro off of Nelson, and
the conductor appeared and stopped
the fight. McCrea swore vengence
against the negro and when he got
off at Kirkland McRea bounced him
and gave him a fogging. The
crowd began to fire at McCrea as he
entered The car. One shot passed
through the ventilator in the top Of
the passenger coach, which was the
only shot that passed through the
train. Between thirty and fifty shots
were fired at the train, none Of
which McCrea returned though
several shots were discharged from
the train.
The above particulars were giver
us by the gentlemen above mention
ed and are DER 6atim.

TRUCkMEN DISoRGANIzED
Cooperation Necessary for
TIER Success.

Atlanta, May f9.-I dropped into the
Agricultural Department this morning to
witness the display of fruit and listen to
the discussions of the Pathological Society,
but there appeared to he another failure
like that of last Saturday. Three depart
ment officials, one reporter and three
Pomologians were all saw present.
In my last letter | referred to the lack
of cooperation, hearty and frequent, of
our vegetable and fruit growers. In union
there is strength, and where every man
shoes his own row." it is safe to predict
that many truck farmers and fruit growers
will meet with losses.
Already there has been great tumble
in prices here for both vegetables and
fruits, some prices having declined one
half within few days. Local markets
cannot be depended on to keep up Georgia
truck farming and fruit growing.
1t this fact that makes cooperation
and union of action so necessary, tina
more distant and larger markets may be
reached in the quickest possible time, and
fruits and vegetables he sold promptly and
at remunerative prices. l do not hesitate
to predict heavy losses without such united
action.
Another great danger has already cast
its bliglIting shadow over some track farms
the absence of any proper provision for
a full supply of barrels, boxes and crates
for shipping fruit and vegetables. The
wise trucker and fruit grower never gets
caught in this trap, as barrels, crates and
boxes can be gathered up and held in
reserve long before they are needed

Browns Estimated Wealth.
Atlanta Constitution.

AIldnta constitution.
Major Ben Crane, talking to an Alabama
street crowd yesterday, asked "What do
you think Joe Browns daily income
amounts to-"
Some one suggested that his salaries
amounted to $12, 500 a year. 81, 900 as
president of the State road, So, 500 as
senator, and noted that this was $35
day.
Some one else added that his rents on
$500, 900 of Atlanta property amounted to
$4,000, putting the income at 8 per cent.
This is $40 a day, which added to his
salaries, made over 800 day.
Major Crane stopped this slow specula
ton with the remark Ills income is not
less than 81 600 "A day as l have been in
formed by a gentleman who had the best
opportunities for knowing what he was
talking about. This gentleman told me
the senator was turning out fifty tons of
iron a day this Rising Fawn works, on
which he had "A clear profit of $40 a ton,
or 800 a day. In Barlow county he has
broad guage railroad 10 miles long run
ming to his ore beds, where he has some
hundreds of men getting out ore. At his
coal mines in Dade county, he has several
hundred convicts at work He digs his
IRON ore, mel s it at his own, furnace and
mines the coal he does it with. At the
furnace alone, his profits are said to be $500
day. At the coal and iron mines they
must be large. So have no doubt but my
informant was within the bounds when he
said Governor Browns income was one
thousand dollars day If so, he has the
largest income of any southerner."
An income of 81 900 day means $312,-
600 a year. This added to fortune
already immense, would, when invested,
add perhaps $25, 600 to the income of the
next year. And a few years of compound
ing this enormous amount with Senator
Browns sagacity will make huge for
tune. No account in this estimate is taken
OF the increase in value ex-senator Browns
property which in his Texas lands has
been remarkable. After talking the mat
ter over the opinion was general that the
senator is now worth not less than So. 000.-
600, and perhaps much more.

Some weeks ago, gentleman passed

exhibiting what we considered most
wonderful success in the way of washing
machine Nor were we alone in this 1pin-
ion. Everybody that saw it wash concur
red with US. We were induced to buy the
right to this and several other counties, be-
lieving in so doing that we would be able
to confer upon all house-keepers il this
section great benefaction, by making it
possible for each Of them to obtain one of
these machines. We reasoned about this
new enterprise in this manner: If it is a
humbug, we don't want to sell it. We had
rather lose the money it cost us than to
put off a humbug upon our subscribers and
friends We thereupon determined to place
these machines in the hands of several of
our most prominent and reliable citizens
upon trial In every instance we asked
these gentlemen to give the machine a thor
ough test, and if they were not satisfied,
to return the machine to us and not one
word should be said about selling. This
was done, and in every single instance the
parties were not only pleased, but came up
and gave us their certificates to that effect
We are now thoroughly satisfied that we
have the only washing machine in the
world that is a success, and we can offer
it to the general public feeling assured that
it is all we claim for it. Any child IL
years of age can do the washing of "a whole
family with one of these machines in one
fourth of the time that it formerly took
the washer-women to do ii by the old rub
board Ian. In using this machine it is
not necessary at any time to put your
hands into the water, and besides, you
stand up in an erect position all the time
no bending over and no crippled backs
when the washing is done. With this
machine You may wash fifty pieces just as
easily and quickly as you can wash one.
1t washes bed quilts, blankets and carpets
with as much facility as a pocket hand
kerchef. 1t does away with all boiling of
clothes. There Is no rubbing-no friction
and hence the wear and tear saved by
washing on one of these machines will pay
for it in a few washings. Ladies who have
fine lace of any kind to wash can not af-
ford to be without one of these machines
1t only costs 49,, end is well worth ten
times the money to any family to have one.
