1t is a fact not generally known,
but it is a fact nevertheless, that
Georgia and Mississippi are the strict
est temperance states in the union. A
gentleman, who has spent several
months in those states, said recently
in an eastern Journal: "There are 81
counties in Georgia where man can
not buy, beg or steal a drink of whis-
key, and none can be purchased in the
state excepting in some of the larger
towns. The people are fanatical on
the subject, and in Mississippi they
have gone to such an extreme that
they tax billiard tables $1,000 apiece,
under the belief that they are device
for the encouragement of drinking.
There are only few foreign born cit
liens in the state, and the native
American voters enact laws satisfac-
tory to themselves"

A COlOred Sa IlsOn.

One of the cases before the Mayor yes
terday morning OF more than ordinary in
terest was that Of Rufus Reed, colored,
who was charged with an affray with Sells
little elephant, and the facts brought out
ut the trial proved that the fight between
the elephant and the man was severe
one, and furthermore that the man whip
ped the elephant. Reed, WHO is tall,
muscular colored man, had been giving
the elephant few apples, handing it all
except one, which he Pit in his vest pocket.
While his attention WAS turned the ele-
plant reached out its trunk, and getting
hold of Rufus pocket tried to pull the
apple out, tearing the vest nearly off be-
fore the wearer's attention was turned to
the elephants prank. Selling the ele-
plants trunk (''snoot," Reed called IT'D
he tried to wrench his vest and apple away
from it, but the elephant drew its trunk
from Reeds hands, and, swinging it
around gave Reed 4 terrible blow on the
side of the head. Reed drew back and
felled the elephant to the ground with a
blow from his fist, delivered over the eye.
The elephants keeper then attacked Reed,
and Reed knocked him down. In the
meantime the elephant had regained its
legs and gave Reed another blow on the
side. Reed was now thoroughly exasper-
ated, and actually knocked the elephant
over on its back, and then left the tent.
AS the elephant had left the city and could
not appear in court yesterday, the Mayor
took Reeds statement and let him off
lightly, feeling that the elephant deserved
the fiogging. Reed is powerfully built
man and is something Of u giant in pro-
portions. He is the same who had the
fight with the bear, in which the bear was
killed, at Lowell, some months ago. His
fight with the elephant was witnessed by
4 number of our citizens Charlotte Jour.
nal Observer.
